It's ridiculous.They are nearly a half hour behind schedule...

EDIT: Finally, as soon as I submitted this they went live. Bout time.

Hunter Mahan birdies the second hole, and become the only man currently on the course under par for the tournament. Moving day has been a misnomer; no one in the back of the field is playing themselves into contention. Conditions are ripe for scoring, but the birdies don't seem to be coming.

[SwingTenD]

Conditions better today but scoring rather disappointing, I think the mud on the balls has a lot to do with this. Should be better for the late starters as it drying out fast.

Tiger bogies 9 to go back to +3

Is there another one?

Tiger Is thinking about his swing too much to contend. He's done. Would love to see Freddy's back hold up to see if he can hold onto this thing...should be a great weekend of golf!

These leaderboards are much faster: http://www.masters.com/en_US/scores/index_low.html http://www.golfchannel.com/tours/pga-tour/2012/the-masters/ Also, the coverage on the Golf Channel has frequent updates.

Tiger in Amen, bad block into 11th green, difficult pitch left, looks like another bogey.

[brocks]

Uh-oh, it was hard to tell, but it sure looked like Tiger grounded his club in the hazard at 13. The rules allow you to do that to keep your balance, and it seemed clear that that was what he was doing, but I'm expecting the phones at Augusta to start ringing.

Does anyone know how I can text updates/alerts?

It really is terrible. Why they can't sign with the Golf Channel to take the mornings up to CBS coverage is beyond me. So dumb.

There are free apps for various phones here, but I haven't tried them. http://www.masters.com/en_US/discover/shop.html

Tiger Woods is a total of -1 for the par-5s after 12 such holes. Between length and course management, he should be better at these. I haven't gotten to see much of his play, but what's going on? Since the second par-5 on day 1, he hasn't birdied a single one.

McIlroy starts with a double bogey for the second time in three days. Tiger finishes even for the day, out of contention. He had a much better ball striking day, but never made a putt.

He made a really bonehead decision on 15 (I think) yesterday, going for the green from an impossible position instead of laying up. Went in the hazard and took a drop, but still made par. The rest of the time, he just hit bad drives and/or bad second shots, and couldn't get up and down.
