There's going to be a huge amount of pressure to do well on the par 5s today looking at that scoring. Birdies on those and otherwise hang on for dear life has to be the target, surely.

Matsuyama's T4 in the tour's accuracy rating this year. I'll take him as the player at the top of the leaderboard most likely to break 70 today.

Yeah but I don't think Spieth or McIlroy are going to back up much today. I think they're both too good to shoot over par today and we'll see the lead at four or five under par.

Depends how they do on the par-5s. I think Spieth and McIlroy are gonna make some bogeys today..maybe a double or two, but if they can get some back on the par-5s (particularly on the back), they can limit the damage today. I am gonna guess the leader is -2 at day's end with 2 guys at -1 and two more at E.

Wow Langer is mighty impressive thus far. Smoked his shot on the 4th and made a very good two putt par.

Thirty more minutes of mostly bad analysis. I am dying for some live golf.

Rory is  longer than Spieth, I wonder how Jordan will handle being the first to hit his 2nd shot on every hole from a time perspective.  He's already concerned about being put on the clock.

Agreed. Killin me this starts at 3 everyday. Wtf. We get 1pm airings of virtually every other tournament. Now we get millions of hours of Brandel babbling.

Yet he is #1 in the tour's slowest player rating.

I was thinking about saying last night, "Langer's sneaked into a good position. If the conditions are tough, he may have some old tricks in his bag."

Yo this revisionist history about Tiger not having any rivals is hilarious. Poor Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh; three HOF aren't rivals :(

Yeah, but we want to see guys who are actually in contention.

Pretty impressive, isn't he like 63 years of age or something like that?

Rory and Jordan both find the fairway on #1.  Now I do agree that CBS should have shown the leaders tee off on number 1.

For whatever reason, CBS/Augusta would rather start the telecast with the leaders on the 1st green, and not the 1st tee.

I'm delighted to see Day slowly starting to climb back up the rankings. If he were to get close as well as a few others, we'd be in for a brilliant Sunday finish.
