1:55 : Goooooooooooooooooo Phil, booooooooooooooooooo Tiger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:56 : As a side note how great of a sports day was yesterday (Saturday the 11th). In a 5 hour span you had Lee Westwood playing steady, Fred Couples turning back father time, Tiger imploding then fighting back to get to -8, and Phil making eagles left and right. Plus you had C.C. Sabathia taking a no-hitter into the 8th inning, and for me personally the Florida State football spring game was online (the first one without Bobby Bowden, and the return of Christian Ponder, who looked great by the way). The previous week' Saturday of the Final Four was nice, but yesterday was 10 times better.
2:04 : Is their anything better than hearing the Masters theme music, as you see the sights of Augusta on tv? So peaceful, so beautiful, so good.
2:30 : Horrible tee shot by Tiger! Dropped his club as soon as he shot it! Good luck hitting that out of the woods. I'm suprised Tiger didn't swear.
2:32 : Speaking of swearing I heard Tiger swear at least 5 times on television yesterday. So much for Tiger changing his bad behavior on the course.
2:33 : Over/Under on Tiger swearing today? I'll put it at 5. I'm taking the over!
2:34 : Tiger hit his tee shot past the woods, onto the 9th hole. That's still a tough second shot!
2:38 : Good enough second shot by Tiger. Could have done far worse.
2:40 : Does anyone in America want Lee Westwood to win? I know I don't. It seems everyone, here in the States, would either want Phil, Tiger, or Couples to win. Sorry chap!
2:41 : Phil definitely got the loudest ovation. Loved the guy who yelled "you're an animal" right after he hit his tee shot. That's the sophisticated crowd at Augusta for ya!
2:45 : Tiger bogeys the 1st hole. Good!!!!!
2:48 : Westwood hit a branch! Oh could he implode today? This is a terrible start for him.
2:52 : Good for Westwood to escape with only a bogey on the 1st.
2:55 : David Feherty is awful! He calls every shot that hits close to the hole amazing, or fabulous before it rolls 20 feet past the hole! Please give me more Faldo and Nantz, and less Feherty!!!!
3:11 : Falling debree ruins Phil's birdie attempt! Don't tell me the Golfing Gods want Tiger to win!!!!!
3:36 : I don't know why but I really like K.J. Choi. P.S. Tiger is done!
3:47 : Tiger's mike I think is muffed. Haven't heard him swear once today. Good job by CBS.
4:00 : Tiger has his "Phil" moment with an eagle.
4:22 : May have spoken too soon. Tiger is back in it. Dammit!! Where is CBS to muff me?
4:31 : Choi, Mickelson, Woods, Couples all making huge shots! This back 9 will be unreal!
4:36 : Tiger at -9. Shame on me for doubting him.
4:44 : Huge up & down par save by Phil. Bad putting by Lee Westwood. You never want to 3 put in Augusta. Phil has the lead all alone!!!! 9 holes to go!
4:51 : K.J. Choi! Ties Phil! He's playing really well. And he's had to deal with playing with Tiger for four straight days. How can you not like this guy?!
4:57 : Tiger really needs another amazing shot. He needs to get at -10 to really put the pressure on all the other players.
4:59 : Another amazing up & down par for Phil at 10. Old Phil battling New Phil. Fascinating to watch!
5:00 : If Couples loses he can blame his putter. Can't miss gimmies at The Masters. My pick to win at 5:00? K.J. Choi.
5:03 : Seeing golf balls in all these exact spots in woods, or on greens makes me think one thing. Golf is the best sport in HD. You see every divot, leaf, bug, whatever. Football is #2, hockey is #3, and basketball is #4.
5:05 : When will K.J. Choi make a bad shot? It has to happen eventually right?
5:07 : I always hate it when Tiger says "Tiger" after a shot. Referring to yourself in the first person is so stupid and is one of the little reasons I don't like Tiger. Saying that though he made a great shot at 11.
5:09 : Anthony Kim making a run with birdies at 13 and 14. Who will win? A great couple of hours still to go!
5:29 : Phil takes the lead. Kase hates Phil and says he will blow up! I say no, he only does that at the U.S. Open. Choi is starting to make bad shots. Phil has the Masters right in his hands!
5:35 : CBS has had a real problem covering the last few shots and following the ball. Or as Brett put it "Good fucking camera work you assholes CBS!"
5:42 : 13th hole. Like I told Brett, "No one pulls shots out of his ass like Phil Mickelson!" Shot of the tournament!
Phil's Miracle Shot at 13.
5:49 : Thank God Phil made birdie at 13. Should have had eagle! But -14 after 13 is still pretty damn good.
5:51 : Tiger just had the worst 3 putt you could imagine. Tiger just putted like he's Taylor. Drunk and in a hurry.
5:54 : Just when you think he's out, he stays partially alive. Sick of Tiger. Great par by Kim at 18. -12 might be enough if Phil can bogey a couple of the last holes.
6:10 : James, Neal, Brett, and Kase played 9 holes earlier today. Neal would like to note that Kase finished 4th out of 4 people. Kase says this is only the second year he's played golf. Neal says that's B.S. that Kase was on the 7th grade Modified Golf team. Yup, these are typical arguments Cassadaga boys have!!
6:19 : Phil's got it! Now don't blow it Phil!!!!!!
6:36: Too bad Tiger you didn't win. Boo hoo. Just think about one of those times you slept with a porn star to cheer you up!
Too Bad Tiger You Lost.
6:52 : He did it! Phil has won the 2010 Masters! At -16 that's one of the greatest performances in Masters history!
The 2010 Masters Champion Phil Mickelson!!!
7:00 : Seeing Phil hug his children and his wife Amy....what a moment! Tears down Phil's eyes, Amy's eyes, and probably millions around the world. Seeing different Facebook status of people saying how choked up they were at that moment. Moment's like that are what make sports amazing at times.
A touching moment. This was the first time Phil's wife Amy has been able to travel with and see Phil play golf since she was diagnosed with breast cancer over a year ago.
7:05 : Phil's get his third green jacket! Puts it on! The Masters Green Jacket ceremony is one of the best traditions in all of sports!
Phil gets his third Green Jacket.
7:30 : That's it. Phil takes the Masters. Tiger can go back to sex rehab or whatever stupid thing he's doing. That was a fun four rounds of golf, and a great Saturday and Sunday. Can't wait for the U.S. Open!
Go back to Sex Rehab Tiger!
I'll admit I was wrong about Phil blowing up. Obviously, him seeing Amy on the 18th was a great moment, but I just am not all about the Phil love.
ReplyDeleteI understand that angle. When Tiger won The British Open in 2006, right after his dad died, he cried to his caddie and his wife. And as much as I hate Tiger, I believed (and still believe) that moment was genuine. So I can def. see being tired of all the "Phil love" but enjoying that moment he had with his wife.
