Nice 1sr round of the masters....Phil sounded ready 2 kill on friday, cant wait...the top 10 is loaded with names

Word!  This Masters definitely has more excitement around it than any tournament in a while, for obivous reasons.  I know it's just one round down, but damn this thing has the potential to be pretty magical.

The Masters is by far my favorite golf event to watch.  Something about the beauty that is Augusta!  I think High Def TV's were made for watching the Masters!

Well, Im guessing Lefty is doing just what he said, attacking the course. His scorecard looks like Fowler's yesterday, except more overs than unders at this point. 8 bogeys (including a double just now), 6 of which are on par 5's. Driver must be failing him today.  He also has 6 birds though. Crazy.

Dustin Johnson killing it.

Man, Tiger really got hosed with those penalty strokes for his ball drop, not to mention he only went in the water because he hit the pin on a shot that wouldve probably given him a 5 footer or closer. Basically a 4 stroke penalty. Hope he gets himself within a couple strokes of the lead today.

How'd he get hosed?  Yeah the pin was unlucky but so what.  He knew the rules and didn't follow them.  At least he's still playing.

Go Duffman!

Anyone see Tiffany Van Soest fight?  Move aside Gina Carano.

Did he? I thought I read the rule changed just this year where youre supposed to drop as close to where your last shot was, and cant drop behind it. Seems to me he didnt know the rule or forgot it was changed.

His chances are pretty slim now but if Snedeker or Cabrera falter its wide open. Had he not hit the pin, he would in all likelihood be tied for the lead right now. That 360 lip out early on a 2 footer didnt help his cause either.

Expected Day to win based on how all the leaders were playing on the back 9, but was rooting for Scott over Cabrera because 1) felt bad how the US Open slipped away from him last year 2) So I never have to hear how an Aussie has never won the Masters, ever again. What a clutch putt for him to get the lead on 18, and what a shot by Cabrera to get it so close for the easy putt to force the playoff. Ironic to see the guy who is a poor putter, miss pretty much everything down the stretch, hit 2 huge putts in his last 3 holes.
