It's moving day fellas and my Tier 5 guy, Zach Johnson moved in the wrong direction.  Why/When did he switch putters?  I'm starting to think that Rory will never win at Augusta.

BTW, someone posted an awesome picture of #16, which I copied and used for my background profile picture...hope that was okay.

Ha, that was my tier 5 pick, as well.  All 5 of my players made the cut -- 3 of which are bottom of the bunch, but one is leading and one is in top 10 so far

Nice!  I wish I had one leading, but my best players are all sitting at -2.  All 5 of mine made the cut too, but I almost picked Molinari, but thought McIlroy would do it this year.

[CarlH]

Go Tony!  (my tier 2 pick) and Molinari (tier 1 pick).  How about that Finau?? Great front side (thru 8)!  Leading at -9 and still has the backside to play.

Thank you, Mr. Nicklaus

Tiger has to find a driver! He made a comment yesterday about how he still hasn’t adjusted to the adjustable hosel drivers. Not sure how they differ from the glued hosels of the Cobra and Titleist ones he played in the past, but he’s not hitting a ton of fairways.

Anybody else see Phil take what looked like at least a 3/4 swing from about 5-10ft off the green? Just amazing what he can do with a wedge. I would have bladed that into someone's head!

And just to prove it wasn’t a fluke he did it again. Unbelievable!

Just in case you guys missed it - they just made an announcement that because of bad weather forecasted for tomorrow they're starting at 7:30 and playing off 1 and 10. CBS coverage begins at 9:00. I think the leaders are scheduled to be off at 9:00 as well.

Yup, just heard that. Definitely and interesting final day format and most likely favors those teeing off early and within an earshot of the winning number.  The later times could see some deteriorating conditions.

Only 1.5 hour difference between first tee times and leaders teeing off since they're teeing off both nines.  Probably less of an issue than had the setup been the normal twosomes all teeing off #1.

Being a Phil fan is hard... on the stomach.

This means that I will see none of it.  I could record it but lets face it there is no way I make it through the recording without some dimwit telling me what happened.

I will be at church until at least 1:30 tomorrow -

So it's back to going to the range tomorrow afternoon - that's what I planned originally but Tiger in contention changed that in a hurry.

True, but 1.5 hours could seem like an eternity if the rain and wind starts getting ugly and makes scoring conditions more difficult.

[CarlH]

and just like that, Tiger has a share of the lead.

Tiger!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr!

+1 for Tiger. He will have his job cut out for him with Molinari on a tear.

Just caught up. Helluva day!

[deejaid]

I usually only watch the final round but had to tune in for a bit today as it looks like tomorrow’s final threesome go off at 6:20am pacific.

No Sunday afternoon Masters this year.

They just said that Molinari would be paired up with Tiger tomorrow, but Finau finished before Tiger and should therefore be in the last group.

I watched off and on today. Took a nap during some of it. I usually watch the entire broadcast on Sunday. Tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be back to 75 and sunny. So.. thanks to the old DVR I might try and play. I've been out of the game for about 5 weeks due to an injured finger and I want to test out the new Exotics driver again. This time with a different shaft. XX

They're playing threesomes...I'm guessing it includes the final group, as well.

[FrogginBullfish]

Correct. Final grouping is Molinari, Tiger, and Finau.

For real though, can Molinari just take one for the team please? #5 #15

Thanks for the info, I had to take my boys to a movie and missed the end of play today, got home just in time to hear Molinari's interview.

I have a feeling the Mad Scientist is going to be in the mix for the balance of the event. He'll probably spend tonight on the whiteboard calculating revised windages, and water rolling resistance.

And this is why I rarely bet... if he did spend the evening on the whiteboard, he probably should have spent it watching Tin Cup 

I just saw the latest Bridgestone E12 commercial with he and Tiger... really good, love it!

Must say, I'm liking the new, old Tiger more than the young, new Tiger.

Sounds like a good time for a 4 minute semon and early dismissal to the congregation

[StrokerAce]

Dang! I'll be driving the fam to DC tomorrow morning and was hoping to catch the back 9 from the hotel...

It does except there’s a congregational meeting that starts at 1130 followed by lunch with the first communion kids and their families. No matter what I do I’m there until 130.

The sermon is actually only 7:30 minutes tomorrow. :)
