14:17:02: Tiger misreads his putt from just off the green poorly on the first. This may not bode well for Woods today as he’s had trouble reading greens all week at Augusta.
What does bode well for Woods today is that none of the four guys ahead of him have won a major. Trevor’s average final round score at Augusta is north of 76, and 74+ in all majors. The winds are blowing and Tiger, arguably, controls his ball better than anyone on Tour. But if he keeps putting like a spaz (yeah), it’s not gonna happen. Odd fact: the last four times Tiger’s played with Stewart Cink in the last round, he’s won.
Prediction: Woods has about a 20-33% chance of winning. There’s a lot in his favor, but he’s still six strokes down, too, so we’re not about to get carried away here. Immelman has the best chance. Snedeker will falter but not embarrass himself. Flesch will have the worst day of the three, and Casey will play solidly and perhaps finish second.

It’s among the most beautiful and exclusive courses in America. Yet everyday golfers feel close to 
The 2008 Masters is finally here! As usual, the hype is centered around the number one golfer in the world, Tiger Woods. Woods will be going for his fifth green jacket after coming up a little short the last two years at Augusta. His win streak might have ended at the WGC-CA Championship a couple weeks back, but he will be looking to start a new one this week.
Lorena wins her second consecutive major, Johnson Wagner punches his ticket to Augusta, and we preview the Masters. What more needs to be said? Okay, a little, and it’s all in this week’s Golf Talk.
It’s been pretty quiet the past few days on the equipment front, but don’t worry, I’ve got a few releases, stories, and opinions to hold you over during Masters Week.
Hello and good day to you from Hittin’ the Links. Do you feel it? Spring has officially sprung now that it’s Masters Week. I don’t know about you, but for me it’s time to find something for the wife and kids to do this Sunday, so the final round can be watched in peace and quiet.
The Masters Tournament is upon us again, and anticipation is running high. Most of us will spend at least a portion of the Masters sitting in front of our TVs, making many of the same comments we made last year about how pleasing to the eye an immaculately kept golf course is when set against azaleas and pines. We’ll marvel at putts that seem to roll forever. And we’ll dream of seeing the course in person (to play it might be too much to even hope).
