The 16th...wow, what a great shot by Tiger. Phil's got a tough act to follow there... Not bad, but advantage Tiger here. We could see the #1 & #2 players in the world tied going into the 17th. Ooh..Phil didn't hit that putt at all. Ugh. Oh n… more »

Phil just blasted a drive on 15 well past Tiger's tee shot, and Jim Nantz sounded surprised. The distance in Lefty's game isn't some new innovation, however. Back seven years ago, at the Par 3 Shootout, Lee Trevino was watching Mickelson warm-up the seco… more »

Step away for a couple minutes to fetch a beer and some chips, and Phil washes one on 12. Geez. Kenny Perry's putter is looking shaky. And Furyk just fluffed a chip...and a bunker shot. (Though I'm sure some contrary reader will comment that it was al… more »

Someone asked me yesterday, what my inspiration is for writing. (OK, it was really just my cat.) The answer was my new friend Mike Purkey, whose "TV Rewind" column in Golf World is one of the most widely read features of that fine magazine. We who wat… more »

Once again, golf is fun to watch because even the best hit shots like I do now and then. Case in point, Phil's hooked driver into the woods and punch out through the trees that ALMOST made it onto the green. "Right idea, Phil." How many times hav… more »

Furyk missed that long par putt from the get-go. Phil's got a knee-knocker for a birdie on No. 8. If Tiger makes this eagle, things will really get interesting... Whoa! That thing dove in the cup like a homesick gopher. OK, Phil. You gonna… more »

"Anything you can do, I can do better. Anything I can do better than you. No you can't! (Yes I can!) No you can't! (Yes I can!)" Is this song going through anyone else's head, watching Phil and Tiger today? The last couple of times these guys went… more »

"The roars are back at Augusta on Sunday." That's like music to my ears. The last few years, it has been snores at Augusta on Sunday. Another reason to cheer is Phil Mickelson's promotion of math and science education. When wearing a completely dif… more »

Hello all, and welcome to round 4. Just in time for Phil Mickelson's amazing recovery shot on No. 7. Holy Smokin' Moses! That almost went in. Phil might have a chance after all. Tiger is going to have to claw his way in, but I just don't think the… more »

Oops...sorry. I dozed off for a bit. I think the dulcet tones of Jim Nantz's voice have grown even more sotto voce. Sort of tuning himself to the riveting pairing of Perry and Campbell. YAWN. Any-who. It was just confirmed that Tiger and Phil will… more »

Oh my! Chad Campbell just left one in the bunker! You see, this is why I love golf. Now and then, I can hit shots that are just as good as the pros'. And now and then, they his shots that are just as bad as mine. No other sport that I can think of is lik… more »

Anthony Kim had 11 birdies in yesterday's round. Hey, Augusta National powers-that-be: Time to AK-proof the course! I admire David Feherty, and tremendously enjoy his humor during normal tournament coverage. So it is sad to me that he is so deadly dul… more »

I heard Jim Furyk is selling his Maui estate for $7.7 million. Given the economy, I was sort of wondering if maybe some of his investments had gone south, and if that might be the reason for the sale. If he wins The Masters and takes the house back off t… more »

News flash! Chad Campbell is "taking his time with his club selection." Here's a little joke for you: Q: What does Chad Campbell say when he rides on the back of a tortoise? A: Wheee!! Get it? more »

I should know the answer to this next question, but I don't. So I'm appealing to your collective knowledge out there:Is there a traditional drink at The Masters? The Kentucky Derby has the Mint Julep. The Open Championship (a.k.a. the British Ope… more »
