http://thesandtrap.com/chat/ is going along pretty well.

Nothing going right for Tiger

Nothing going right for Tiger

Not true. Several of his approaches, and a couple of putts, have been way right.

Watching live on masters.com and I just heard Tiger drop an F bomb!!  They didn't catch it.

I heard him say goddammit after his tee ball on 13.

http://thesandtrap.com/chat/ guys. Except for random dumb comments from Patrick it's going along nicely! :-)

Tiger appears to have lost all confidence.  Miguel was moving along nicely until he went kerplunk at 15.

I have never seen a pro ever kick his club. Wow, unbelievable!

Being that the lead is only -5, one could say that almost anyone that made the cut has a shot if they come up with a golden round tomorrow and get in the mix.

Go Freddie!

Go Bubba!

Go Rory! (I hope he knows I get a new driver if he manages to go -11 in the next two days!)

Thing is someone even in 30th will have to pass 30 players, and five or six others will have a good low round as well if it's out there, and so you might shoot 66 and still be T18.

Wow, I wonder where Tiger gets his tranquilizers? He just gave a very calm and low-key interview a couple minutes after playing an awful round. I thought he would be frying eggs on his forehead.

He looked like he was about to cry walking down the 18th fairway after he put it in the bunker, I think he was just emotionally spent.

It may be the first time I've ever known how he felt on the golf course. I usually get that look about mid-way through the back nine, though.

He should try to remember that feeling, because that was the best bunker shot he's hit in three years.

Don't want to sound corny, but that's really cool. People can say what they want about his antics etc. But you've got to admire his work ethic, reminds me of a story i've heard about Nicklaus. I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently Saturday night in the 1986 masters he was on the range till dark, and we all know how that worked out.

I hope that if nothing else Tiger plays decent tomorrow, mathematically he's still in with a chance, but tee to green I don't know if he can get to the Bay Hill standards in one night that he'll need in order to stand a chance. Then obviously there's his putting...

That's how you win 14 majors.

I do apologize if this was already brought up but I was wondering what those tags players clipped on player's hats and sometimes shirts were. For those that don't know what i'm referring to, it's a small (maybe 1"x1"), blue square that bears the Masters logo. I see many of the players wearing them, including Kevin Na clipped to the side of his hat and Miguel Angel Jimenez on the buttons of his shirt. Is it a way of identifying the less notable players in the tournament for security purposes? I would have to assume that these would be somewhat collectable as well, but i haven't seen this system used in previous Masters.

[Motley01]

I don't know, but maybe the pins on the hats was for remembering Seve Ballistoros? His birthday would have been on next Monday.

Oh boy how about Phil, OMG he lit it up today. I'm glad he straightenend out his driver. He's right back in it baby!!!!

I still can't beleive ole Freddy is leading. Nice going Freddy, well done!!!

Rory had a nice round too. And how about Bubba, he did great today again.

Oh and poor Tiger. Man I don't know what happen to him, but he was playing good, then when he missed that short putt, it all fell apart.

I actually felt sorry for him. He really played it off too, when he had a quick chat after his round. I really thought he would have 4 pretty good rounds. I think he's got too many swing thoughts going on, he's playing golf swing, instead of golf.

I know, playing golf, we've all had those days, where your swing just goes, and there nothing you can do to put the clubface on the ball.
