True, but Augusta is a special place, birdies can be had if your playing well and make sound decisions but trouble can also come quickly, just ask Greg Norman.

looks like birdies are coming in pretty easy for lots of guys today

Yea, wind must be really down or the greens are still a bit on the soft side. Lots of pressure on Spieth to play smart golf today and not "come back" to the pack.

Lefty loves Augusta, always plays well there. Sadly Couples missed the cut, for a guy well over 50 finishing in the top 10 year after year was quite a feat.
EDIT: Lefty now @-9 and is playing lights-out, Spieth has returned to level par for today's round, this could get VERY interesting!.

didn't watch this but he still made birdie?! :eek:

ok, I was wrong.. he still has some game left.

but when/IF he's #1 again, he should retire at the end of that year!

Wow, horrible shot by Spieth on 18 after the double bogey on 17.

That shot, to me, looked like the approach he hit on the last playoff hole last week. The par he made yesterday on 18 was just OMG good, he said himself that getting par from where he sat after 2 shots was a one in five. I hope he whoops ass today.

I think he will, when I saw him push the approach into the seats I was thinking "insta-bogie" but he showed great nerve and skill with the chip to salvage par. That says to me yea, he's capable of a bad shot or a bad hole but he won't let it progress into a full-fledged collapse ala Greg Norman.

While Tiger's game is alive and well as evidenced by this week, getting back to the #1 ranking might not ever happen again, there are a lot of very talented golfers that have come along in the last 5-10 years.

You don't understand how hard it is to get "credentials", once you have them you keep them until you decide to no longer purchase them. As such they are worth a fortune for re-sale and for those who no longer want to go their credentials are given out on a lottery basis. It took my brother 10 years of applying to the lottery to get tickets to a practice round. Anyway what a performance by Speith, 19 friggin under, never thought I'd ever see that, kid's got a huge career in front of him at 21yrs old.
