    Would love to see Couples make a run. He can do it too. Will be rooting for Rory after last year and of course will always root for Phil too. Looks like it will be a really good weekend. A lot of players within 3 shots heading into tomorrow.

    BTW...you're seeing why it's hard for me to envision Tiger ever being close to the type of player he used to be. By that I mean the dominance or even being the #1 player ever again. He's just not consistent. Obviously, he's always been very talented but what made him so great was how consistent he was, especially with his short game and putter. You'd see the driver or ball striking go from time to time but the short game was always so good. He was great at grinding out rounds by being able to scramble and make those putts inside of 7 or 8 feet. Now, he's just as inconsistent with his short game as he is with other parts of his game. 2 weeks ago it looked like the short game was back, yesterday he putted well, today he's got nothing. Now, it wouldn't surprise me if he goes out and shoots 67 tomorrow. We know he's still got to talent to play great when everything is clicking but you have no clue what your getting from round to round and you never used to be able to say that. Until he shows something close to consistency he'll never be a top 5 player in the world again, let alone #1.

    Tough for me to pick against Rory at this point. Best golfer in the world right now, IMO, and he knows it.

    If Tiger was playing the par 5s like he normally does, he would be right there.

    But he just can't get anything going.

    Barring some incredible historic round tomorrow, he has no chance to win.

    Here's Posnanski on the Masters, in his last column for SI. Great, as always.

    A man named Bubba, who never took a single golf lesson, won the Masters on Sunday after hitting some sort of crazy hook shot off the pine straw. I suppose it would be a bit too convenient and cinematic to write that just about everything I love about sports and writing just happened to come together on my last day at SI. But, hey, I don’t know what else you can say. A man named Bubba, who never took a single golf lesson, won the Masters after hitting some sort of crazy hook shot off the pine straw. Isn’t that the whole thing? That’s why we come back, isn’t it? That’s why we care, isn’t it?

    That Masters was awesome. I was rooting for Lefty, as I always do, and after an amazing back nine on Saturday, I thought it was his for the taking. But after that triple bogey on six, and that ridiculous Double Eagle by Oystersniffer, I knew it was gonna take a miracle. Bubba on the other hand birdied four straight to jump in there. But after he missed the putt to win it on the 18th playoff, and then his tee shot on the 10th, I thought Oystersniffer was taking it. But that shot by Bubba to get on the green from the forest was unbelievable. And his reaction to winning is what makes golf so great. Great Masters!
