Anthony Kim is on a roll! Phil with the wayward drive. ---

Tiger is completely out of sync ,yet he stays close. How can you hit the ball all over the Masters course and still score? ---

KJ chokes. Phil hits the shot of his life. ---

And Tiger blows a tap in. ---

I actually called earlier (wish I had put it in this thread) what Tiger just did-I figured he’d get so pissed at himself for yet another yippy putt that he would rush the next one and miss it too. ---

A whole lot of choking going on. Wasn’t that a Chuck Berry song? Westwood is setting a new choking standard. ---

Some of these tee shots are so far off line they require an Indian Scout to find their way back to the fairway. ---

Can someone tell me how Mickelson played #13. My DVR decided to cut out right after Phil made the putt on 12. I couldn’t get it reset until Lefty was in the fairway on 14. I also missed Tiger putt(s) on 14. ---

Diver into the pine straw, but had a chance. Hit a miracle shot a few feet from the pin, but missed the short eagle putt. Made the birdie. ---

Westwood’s wheels falling off… ---

Well, it’s Phil, I guess. Still, it was fun to watch. ---

I thought it was traditional for the final pairing to hit their drives way off the fairway on 18 at the Masters, just to make things interesting. Kinda anticlimactic now. ---

Wow. Three stroke lead. Birdie on 18. Nice finish, Phil. ---

Tigers going to take some time off? What, he was off for 5 months and just got back. Is it divorce time? Crap, he should play the next 6 tourneys just to get back in playing brain. ---

Time off in this case means until Father’s Day week. ---

Re. Mickelson, I think [Rick Reilly](http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5075271&categoryid=2630020) said it best. Look, I don’t care how many rumors there are. We’ve completely lost the America’s Cup, we’ve done nothing in tennis for friggin’ years, and after 16 years of MLS our soccer teams are _still_ a joke. We need SOMETHING, dammit!
