** Official Masters Golf Tournament ** thread

[Patt]

The 2006 Masters has begun with Tiger Woods being the prohibitive favourite going in. Phil Mickleson played amazingly last week, and Retief Goosen has been playing exceptionally well as of late, although he hasn't been winning.

Currently 7 players tied for the lead at -1, and about 10 at even par.

I'm predicting a victory for Retief Goosen ... with the fast putting conditions, I think he'll pull it off. Whoever has a hot putter will take it.

Predictions/comments?

Edit: Live at Amen Corner

With the way Phil played last weekend I look for him to be on the leader board Sunday.

Tiger should do well as always.

Can't count out Davis Love and Singh.

One of the best ballstrikers in the business ... a small town texas boy. When he's on, he is a great player. I'm looking forward to the weekend 😉

pretty tight.

projected cut seems to be +4.

Singh is +4 for today.

the leader board is a literal who's who of golf. Ernie Els in the top 10.

If you make 3 doubles in a round and manage to limp in at only +2 for the day you've worked HARD to hold things together. That's the kind of course Augusta is though. Tons of big numbers and a lot of birdies too thanks to very reachable par 5's.
