After 36 holes, Tiger Woods trails leader Trevor Immelman by seven strokes. But the cynic in me wants to say that Tiger is four behind the real leader, Phil Mickelson. I admit, that's not giving Trevor his due, because he has the game to win at Augusta. But he needs help from Phil and Tiger. Immelman hasn't yet experienced how, for the leaders, the atmosphere changes at Augusta on weekends. The pressure can be suffocating. Brandt Snedeker, a stroke off the lead, could also have trouble today. I'm not ...

Phil Mickelson's Exit Strategy: Jet Pack

We don't follow golf's major tournament odds religiously, but as an avid fan of the sport I believe this may be the closest Vegas has ever came to guaranteeing a Tiger Woods victory. Hard to blame the odds, as we'd also give you a better chance at winning than Phil Mickelson or any other golfer not named Tiger. Here's the Masters field as of today and more importantly the odds to win ...Why Won't the Masters Get Out of My Face?

jl3 posted 4/12/2008 from ballhype.com
As Tiger Woods entered the third round at Augusta seven shots back he would need to make a Nicklaus type come back to claim his fifth green jacket. So why won't Woods win the Masters? He's too far back and he has other major championship winners ahead of him in Phil Mickelson, Mike Weir and Retief Goosen.

Leaving Augusta National early Saturday evening 18 holes away from winning the Masters, Trevor Immelman heard Gary Player's voice when he checked his phone messages. Immelman still has the photo of himself as a gap-toothed 5-year-old, perched on Player's shoulders, the once and future kings of South African golf together. Player's message Saturday was both inspirational and educational. ...

You know what makes sports news over the top? Speculation. It's when you tune (and as this moment you're going to have to act like you watch "First and 10") in to Skip Bayless and they speculate what would happen or if Magic Johnson and Allen Iverson played one-on-one in their prime, who would win.

Phil’s right there, he’s ready to pounce, this is his chance with Tiger on the outs … yada, yada, yada. It’s like 95 percent of the golf media have never actually seen Mickelson play.

Even when Phil Mickelson is the one hitting it. Phil just had to hit lob wedge even though his ball was comfortably on the green (every Augusta member cringed when contact was made) because putting it would have required running the ball through a lot of fringe to account for the break. Phil's lob from the putting surface came up way short, however. But then he rolled in a big-breaking putt of ...Masters Round Two: Familiar Territory

Two things that surprised me about Phil Mickelson yesterday. One - When did Phil start getting so lucky? That putt-thingy on the first hole had bogey or double written all over it and the damn things smacks the flag stick and drops in for a three. Also, his ball not going into the creek on 13 is one of those things that don't happen for your average golfer. Two - He looked good. I hate all ...PGA: Woods four back at Masters

With Tiger a staggering favorite, here's a quick look at some of the good and bad bets that can be made for this year's Masters. READ: Tiger 1/1 to win Phil 10/1 to win REACT: That means Tiger is 50/50 to win the tournament. Based on recent history, that seems generous to the field. On the other hand, there are 94 golfers in the field, and Tiger hasn't dominated at the Masters lately. Hold ...Els Dumps Leadbetter for Harmon

It was a bold and stupid prediction and I rightly took a beating for it both before and after as Garcia didn’t even make the cut.
