Have to do well on the Par 5's here. I like Bubba!

Nailed it.

[Heyward]

Should be an epic Sunday.

Like 13+ guys within striking distance.

Pretty boring.

Bubba cruised, though if the shot on 15 i think it was went in the water, it could of got real interesting.

Im probably in the minority, but I miss watching Tiger when he was at his best. Was amazing.

You aren't, Tiger is good for golf whether people want to admit or not.

[Heyward]

Yeah, golf doesnt miss Tiger.

Ratings go to crap without him even if he's washed.

I like seeing Tiger get beat, but his presence doesn't make me watch or not watch.

It doesnt make me watch or not watch but the ratings suck without him, and thats a fact.

This was the worst Masters, ratings wise in 10-20 years.

Golden Bear drops an ace on em in the Par 3. Solid stuff right there.

Hopefully Tiger won't embarrass himself this week.

[gilesfan]

hopefully he does.

[thethe]

I don't get the hate for Tiger.

[Carp]

I'm going with Jimmy Walker to win it. He's been hot this year. Won 2 tourney's already, also has a 2nd place finish, and hasn't finished lower than 41st in any other tourney. He's playing some great golf.

[NinersSBChamps]

Rory!!!!

[gilesfan]

Hoping for Fowler. But would be happy with Speith/Day/Walker

[gilesfan]

I don't get the hate for Tiger.

Really?

[Tapate50]

Just a rumor from some quasi tour types, but Tigers yips may have been from coming off those heavy pain meds from his back surgery. I heard he was ballin' out during practice this week.

Masters pool, winner take all I got:

Dustin Johnson,
Stenson,
Keegan Bradley
Russell Henley
NA
McDowell
Bae
and two guys I have never heard of.

[Tapate50]

I don't get the hate for Tiger.

How is this possible?

[MrShwag]

Woods +2 after 4 holes.. He'll once again be hyped up and fail to make the 8< With the amount of hype that came out of nowhere, I figured he may have done some steroids to regain that edge he had back when he was roiding and winning.

[Tapate50]

Speith with one helluva first round... Kid is 21. Wow

[thethe]

How is this possible?

Just because he isn't the button up proper guy?

Because he likes women a little too much?

I only got into golf about 4 years ago so I don't know too much of this history with Tiger.
