I am so glad I was at the house when it happened.. ESPN did a "TIGER UPDATE" and I was able to watch.. I see he shot par, par, birdie... I'll be pulling for Tom Watson and Tiger - how cool if they end up paired together Sunday?? WOW and Phil and Ernie in the next group!

he's certainly not my favorite but I don't dislike him. my fav 3 are Tom, Phil and Tiger.. :) years ago, The Shark was #1 in my book but I got tired of watching him blow leads on the weekends :)

[44INAROW]

nice shot on #5 for Tiger :)

[jason]

[Maroon87]

Top of the leaderboard is pretty stout: Watson, Westwood, Mickelson, and Yang, with Kim only 1 back right now.

[eagles_victory]

My bold prediction is making me look like a jackarse right now he is tied for 44th at 1 over.

[jason]

tiger eagled #8

curtis strange is a crappy announcer

[BaseballUmp]

It really has gone slow. Tiger teed off 4 hours ago and still has two more holes at -4

[eagleqb_14]

Actually it took him a little over 5 and a half hours for the first time ever he shot below 70 with a 68 -4

[Green Bling]

Love seeing Freddie Couples play so well today! He seems to really have gained a lot of confidence having won three times on the Senior Tour.

Me, too(even though Philly Mick is my fave). I guess his back is the reason he has quit wearing spikes. He's now wearing skateboard shoes.

I'm enjoying the TWSPN!

[SintonPirateFan]

Couples gave one back on 9. :(

[44INAROW]

When I watched Fred making that shot on 11 - he walked up kinda sideways to the ball and I had a vision of Adam Sandler doing his "Hockey Swing" from Happy Gilmore :D :D

just GOOO to your HOME are you too GOOD for your HOME?!?!??!

[Old Tiger]

my favorite part was the Bob Barker cameo.

[44INAROW]

Lee Westwood -
Par, Eagle, Par, Birdie.. not a bad way to start the day

[SintonPirateFan]

i cant even do that on a putt putt course!!!

[eagles_victory]

Ian Poulter now in the lead at 8 under.

[44INAROW]

Tiger just birdie'd #13 - so he's -5
So did KJ Choy he birdie'd #13

Now Ian and Lee tied at -8

[SintonPirateFan]

and freddie is trailing off with 1 over for the day.

[CenTexSports]

The course was definitely toughened up today. Yesterday there were 9 eagles and only 2 today and one of them was almost a double eagle by Westwood.

I wish the powers that be at Augusta would change their plan for the next two days. they want the winning total to be around 10 under or less. I would like to see them put it back like it was yesterday and open it up for a real horserace. I would rather have 10 - 12 guys charging on Sunday afternoon than 2 guys fighting to make pars to win.

do you think the rain last night had anything to do with the higher shot totals today?

if anything the wind and lack of water is firming up the course making the greens tougher...

[44INAROW]

Jason - did you see Tiger's Tee Shot on 16? He's got a legit shot at birdy - but came a little short.. ended up with par.. he's 3 strokes back.. KJ Choi and Anthony Kim along with Tiger at -6 after 16 and Ian Poulter -9 after 17

[44INAROW]

I'm digging this "featured group" on masters.com...
people can say what they want - but this crowd is giving Tiger a very warm reception!

[CenTexSports]

Moisture has two effects on a course like Augusta. It softens the fairways making the course play longer (no roll on tee shots) and helps the long hitters. It also makes the greens more receptive. So yes the rain did have an effect on the shorter hitters.

[Maroon87]

Westwood trying to pull away....he is at 10 under, Lefty and Poulter are 7 under. Tiger stuck in neutral a bit at 6 under.

[Maroon87]

Mickelson with back-to-back eagles at 13 & 14...he's now one off the lead.:eek: :clap:

Woo!! Hoo!! My man Lefty in the final pairing tomorrow!! What a round of golf!!:clap: :cheerl: :clap:

[scrub c]

Go Fred Couples!!!

It would have been great if Boom Boom and Lefty had ended up together in the final pairing. They were texting on the course encouraging each other to get to that point. Great to see them both do so well!

[lange4]

It is great to see the older contingent compete well this year. Freddie is the man as far as I am concerned. Pulled for him since early 80's. Tearing up the senior tour. I am not a Tigger fan, I have nothing against him but the media. I almost cannot watch the broadcast for all the coverage he gets. You only see the other players shots as a tape delay because Tigger may have to scratch his arse and they don't want to miss it.

[TheDOCTORdre]

I tell you what, with Lefty trailing Westwood by a stroke and Tiger and Choi just 4 strokes behind, I dnt think you can have a better atmosphere for a Sunday in Augusta, I would love to see Tiger make a charge, as well as Freddy Couples who is only 5 strokes back and maybe force a playoff with Phil.

[Maroon87]

Lefty's 2nd shot on 13...ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!? Out of the pine straw, over the creek to 8 feet!! That dude has enormous stones...:eek: :clap:

[BaseballUmp]

Update?

[Maroon87]

Mickelson up by 2 shots over Westwood headed to 18.

[Maroon87]

Mickelson wins by 3 shots...:clap:

[TheDOCTORdre]

Lefty played freakin amazing, it was a great Masters

[Maroon87]

Funny that the guy that won the tournament spent the last year by his wife's side as she battled a terrible illness, while everyone was focused on Tiger.

Kinda fitting if you ask me.:clap:
