Wow Simpson is on fire now, too. Just stuck a shot on 14.

Not Tigers day...so far....losing too much ground already

This better not be one of those days where Tiger makes 16 pars, a birdie and a bogey.

What would they delay because of? Wind or lightning?

The chance of rain, at Augusta tomorrow, is currently 90%.  Unless the front takes a left turn...we are most likely looking at a Monday finish.

Poulter's driver swing is not a thing of grace, but it did the job.

At least it clears up Colin's weekend.

I'm actually gong to go out and play. Got a 520 tee time for 9 holes. Too bad I can't get out earlier

[ChrisP]

May wanna hold off on that tee time...Tiger found the gas pedal.

Genuinely don't think there's anyone better in the world at those dead handed wedge swings

How much rain is expected? I don't understand foreign rain predictions. Here I'm used to predictions in millimeters per hour.

Tiger might be (is?) the best iron player of all time.

 

What a day for Simpson so far. Will be interesting to see how far he's back at the end of the day, but an incredible scorecard either way.

Just looked at the leaderboard for the first time today. See what happens when you don’t twist your ankle? If Woods doesn’t win it, Finau would be my second.

Of all time, certainly, but I'm not sure I'd put his iron play clearly top in the world as things stand. His approach play from inside 150 though, I definitely would. Not that I have any statistical proof - just what I remember seeing!

I hope not. Was going to take Finau in my pool and at the last second put in Casey. Ugh. Could be a $500 mistake.

Not feeling the baggy pleated pants, sorry Adam Scott. 

[ChrisP]

Yup Tiger found the gas pedal. It’s officially go time.

Come on, eagle this one Woods. 

[colin007]

I'm like a battered woman. I keep going back even tho I know he's gonna make me regret it....

For the time being, that shot made me moister than an oyster

[Shindig]

Just tuned in in time to see Tiger hit his second at #8.  Aaaw yeah.

[colin007]

Returns on the emotional investment not paying off

[Vinsk]

Too bad Joe is such a dead beat caddie. Tiger obviously not making the nice smooth swing with his driver he did yesterday. It's rushed and wild. Needs to calm down and get that controlled swing back. If not, here come the bogies and par scrambles....out of it.

Least important bit of tournament information, but just in case someone wants to know ....
