Oh absolutely I agree! He was so close, a lot of credit goes to Cink for catching up and forcing that playoff. I think it demoralized Watson, because he kind of fell apart after that. Or with his age he was just so tired, you know how you get at the end of a run, when you know you're almost done? Exhausted.

definitely, especially when nobody is expecting you to hold on

also, Kim is the most erratic player i have ever seen, another typical round from him, 6 birdies, 1 eagle and 4 bogeys all adds up to a 68

Well, about all Furyk has left to do is pack his suitcase for a quick getaway tomorrow. +9 thru 17. After starting with 2 straight birdies, he racked up 3 bogies, 3 doubles, and a triple with the 18th yet to play.


Update... birdied 18 to finish at +8. 4 birdies and bunch of train wrecks. He has his work cut out for him to make the cut.

I think if he shoots 67 or 68 tomorrow he should be safe.

Golf Channel app for Android is the stuff!

I know it's early, but that's one of the nicest leaderboards going I've seen in while. Phil, Watson, Westwood, Yang, AK, and even ol' David Toms in the house with good scores.

I'm a bit suprised at Toms playing that well. I would think his lack of distance would cause a problem with getting good looks at birdie.

Tiger with an eagle. The leaderboard does indeed look interesting.

Oh my...who dressed up Ryan Moore?

I don't know if the Bobby Jones Throwback ensemble was the right call, but he's -1 for the tournament right now, so I'm not going to question it.

today must be senior day at augusta... tom watson, sandy lyle, bernard langer, all under par.

Don't neglect to include Boom Boom in that category, either.

Until he fails to consistently drive the ball 300 yards, I won't consider him a senior.

I don't think that's how the classification works.

[Chilli Dipper]

Tiger makes the turn carding an eagle-birdie (including a 30-yard hook approach on the ninth that came to rest within ten feet of the hole), and he goes out in 33.

[senorchipotle]

looks like mr. woods is playing to win.

Leaderboard looks mighty, mighty fine....AK, Philly Mic, hometown fave Mr. Toms, Watson. If it stays like this, I might not scratch my golf itch and stay in watching this.

[Zeph]

11th, Par 4, 505 yards
13th, Par 5, 510 yards

Might need a draw to get around the corner on the 13th, but it's still only 5 yards difference. 505 par 4 is long.

[Chilli Dipper]

11th, Par 4, 505 yards

One big difference: 11 (like 10) tumbles severely downhill towards Raes Creek, while 13 plays slightly uphill away from it.

Nasty, nasty leaderboard. Love this tourney. This is only my 2nd year watching it. Man, was I missing out all those years.

[Greg]

Fred Couples looks sharp, Watson, Mickelson, AK, Tiger is up there too and he normally doesnt do all that spectacularly in the first round around par usually, a lot of guys playing well today, except Furyk and Stenson, both shooting 80.
