Okay, we are down to the final competitive round today at the Masters. Cabrera and Perry are the co-leaders at -11. Who do you think can win? Do you think Mickelson or Tiger has a chance to catch up and win? They are paired together today!

I believe it is still wide open. Two things against the front runners - increased pressure of being in or near the lead starting out, and the course being much tougher today related to pin placement. The top 4 scorers to start will be concerned about those behind playing to catch up. They will be fretting decisions to play it safe, or go for it. While those behind but close only need to think about keeping their shots in bounds because they are going for broke.
Between Phil and Tiger - I think Phil stands a better chance of winning. My main reason is I don't think Tiger has never won a major when behind on the last day. There's always a first time for everything of course... Today (meaning Sunday), the short game is the skill needed and these two guys have it. Their problem is maintaining their fairways. Especially Phil, if he can keep it in the fairway, he has a decent chance.

Be careful out there,

The home of the Masters golf tournament, the Augusta National Golf Club, has been the source of controversy particularly among female golfers. The club continues to exclude women as members, keeping them from joining an exclusive list that includes past member Dwight Eisenhower.
But the club, which admitted its first African-American member in 1990, has faced questions about racial and gender equity

.... the Americans with Disabilities Act requires the PGA Tour to waive its requirement that players walk the golf course during tournaments.
Martin has a circulatory disorder in his right leg that makes it painful for him to walk long distances. The disorder, a congenital vascular condition, is called Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome.

"The Tour reiterates that this issue has been from the start about the Tour's ability to set and implement the rules of its competitions," the PGA Tour said in a statement Tuesday. "Those rules include walking as an integral part of elite championship golf played at the highest level."

...but you didn't answer who you think will win?

Pops900 · 04-12-2009, 02:19 PM

So I got back on to brag about Phil and cheer him on, then he puts it in the water on 12 and ends up with double bogey...

Still doing better than expected. Tiger is pacing in right behind!

Did not expect Angel to win this! Really didn't think those last two groups would produce the winner... Congratulations to him tho for hanging in there. I was hoping Phil would get it. He almost did it. It was pretty fun watching him and Tiger play together.
Y'all have a good one and be careful out there,
