These two just made it very hard for Tiger tomorrow. A lot of ground and a few people between him. Immleman and Snediker absolutely stuck their approaches on 18.

So, what's the chance of Tiger catching those two turds tomorrow?

I'd say it's going to be tough. Short of Tiger shooting 62(not going to happen) I can see one dropping back to him, but not both.

A lot better now that the forecast is calling for 30 MPH winds this afternoon.

If it's truly that windy, I fully expect Tiger and Flesch to make a run. Both handle heavy wind very well.

It sounds crazy, but if Tiger can post a 71 or even par, he might win this thing. After seeing Justin Rose post a 78 in near perfect conditions, I can only imagine what we might see today.

This is gonna be fun.

You have to remember that the tournament organizers aren't the sadists at the USGA. The people @ Augusta realize that when people like Zach Johnson win a battle of attrition at +1, it doesn't help bring in the casual fan. They made the course set up more forgiving this year so that -6 to -10 would be the winning score.

If the wind is really howling, expect some of the Sunday pins to be moved from their normal locations.

And Justin Rose shoots a 78 in perfect conditions every year @ The Masters.

Can't argue with that, but even with easier placements, those greens are a bitch. Nearly impossible to hit a 2 yard window when the wind is blowing that hard. Even with easy placements, if you miss your window, you'll be lucky to two-putt.

But there are places on those greens that have larger windows. 12 will be a degenerate whore today, and 16 won't be much better, but I imagine they'll put 11 as a center or center-right pin.

I would imagine you'll have an average round of around 75 today. Tiger will have to shoot at least 69 to win, even with these winds.

12 and 16 are gonna be like watching the 17th at The Players Championship.

Someone's gonna post a triple or quad there today, if the winds are as bad as they say they might be.

I put my money on Phil.

I'll go with Sean O'Hair.

:D

Interesting. Thanks guys.

Snedeker and Immelman are really carving up #1.

Yup and Tiger in the bunker on 2.

Cink opens with back-to-back birdies. Within 4 of the lead.

IMO, Tiger needs to start making some of these 15 footers like he has coming up to have a chance.
