Lurknomore - it's not over, yet.

And the man whose first and second shots in the playoff hit a tree, wins.

Yeah, makes you wonder about phil and tiger...all they had to do was put up a -12.

sweet Masters... Nice rounds by Tiger and Phil but both choked it up at the end. Too bad Weir blew up on Saturday with a 79... he was looking good after 2 rounds. Anyone catch Sergio's comments? LMAO

I stopped watching after that solid eagle from Tiger. Based on the comments, I ended on a good note?

I hate how the network coverage is all about Tiger. Its starting to get really annoying.

They weren't nearly as bad about the cobslobbing yesterday. Although I do remember a lot of "This could be another historic moment! Look at the perfection in everything he does!". I mean sure they had to show what phil and tiger were doing, because that was just awesome but at least it didn't seem to be as bad as it was last time he played.

Tiger and Phil both could have been in that playoff. But a couple missed putts and bogeys on the final holes knocked them out of it.

What cracks me up is when they show the leaderboard, and they've removed several people just so they can put Tiger up there . It's like the "People we give a shit about board". However, in Tiger's defense, even when he isn't usually up, by the end of the tourny he ends up there. Which is always impressive.

The most annoying thing for me (among others) was the amount of time they showed Tiger and Phil in non-shot activities.

Waiting on the tee, waiting in the fairway, standing around the green....

And WALKING.

There was more footage of Tiger and Phil WALKING on Sunday than there was of most other players shots the entire 4 days.

there would have been too much Tiger coverage to begin with, but getting paired with Lefty for the final round really pushed the coverage over the limit. However, there was a nice feature on DirecTV on the weekend where you could watch 3 feeds at once.

I had no idea. Did they offer it for free?

Cabrera bounces it off the tree into the fairway on the first playoff hole and still wins. Crazy! I thought he was out for sure after going into the woods there. From the CBS coverage I couldn't really tell where his ball went, next thing I know he's lining up in the middle of the fairway and I figured he just pitched it out from somewhere.

Anyways, I was really happy to se Cabrera win. He's a cool guy. Doesn't screw around before each swing either...he just walks up and hits the ball.

There was talk on a sports show this evening that Cabrera's ball moved when he grounded his club on his second shot on 18 (first playoff hole, the one where he hit a tree). That should be a penalty and it would effectively take him out of the playoff. I can't find a video though. You'll notice most players won't ground their club in the pine needles because, well, because you can easily cause the ball to move.

Eh, I think someone there would of noticed.

Even if it did move a little bit it's still a crazy difficult shot.

Rules are rules however, no matter how stupid. But please keep in mind I'm posting this as hearsay and it could not affect the outcome at this point. Considering how fast he his to step up and strike the ball it could very well have been missed. If I was in a money game damn sure I'd call him on it.

Again - not that it matters now. Just fun to talk about.

I'm not sure. It was in the 700s on my Mom's DirecTV setup. The screen was split into 4 mini-screens, one showing the leaderboard / stats and three showing actual action. She didn't have to pay extra for it, so it must have been included in her package.
