3rd & 7 37yd

If Charl puts the green jacket on Louis, the bromance will make Sergio and Rory yesterday look like Phil and Vijay. #toomanygolfcomparisons

Oh Ben Crane .... why must you ... why why why why why?!

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:09:38 PM
RT @Matt_Ginella: That's a first...someone just called Bubba, "Brilliant." The unfortunate source: Kostis. #Masters

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:10:41 PM
This is flat funny: Oosthuizen has two pars, a double-eagle 2, and a double-bogey 7 on the second hole this week.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 8:17:01 PM
So what wins this thing, number-wise? I'll say 10-under. Thoughts?

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:23:00 PM
RT @ScottMichaux: If you had the double eagle ball that Green Jackets' covet, what would you barter for? Lifetime tournament badge or a ...

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:35:56 PM
Great example of how different Augusta is on TV vs. in person - Oosthuizen's second shot on No. 9 is SUCH a downhill lie

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:37:50 PM
Really big putt there by Phil. He's 6-under now with Louis and Bubba both with really, really tough putts on No. 9

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:39:22 PM
Rory McIlroy shot 5-over for the week. Where did it come wrong? Nos. 1 and 11 - combined to play them 9-over.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:41:21 PM
RT @qas90: Wow! This was a blast. I will never ever forget this experience. Really enjoyed seeing my Dad and Tiger play together. http:/ ...

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 8:44:49 PM
Crazy scoring this week - McIlroy made four doubles, Phil made two triples, and Tiger made 15 bogeys.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:45:02 PM
With worst Masters finish as pro, Tiger leaves Augusta having reversed mojo from 14 days ago at Bay Hill. Now what? cbsprt.co

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 8:48:12 PM
What's Faldo expect from Phil as back nine begins and is 3 shots back? "Pretty serious aggressive stuff now."

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 8:55:54 PM
Cool stat RT @BobHarig: Phil is 8 under par on the back nine for the week -- despite a first-day triple at the 10th.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 8:58:12 PM
Alright, front nine is history in the 2012 Masters ... what's your pick to win this thing?

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:00:18 PM
Bubba Watson is one shot off the lead at the Masters. And we thought Phil was the most unpredictable lefty in golf.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 9:00:38 PM
The Augusta media center just got Big Red gum. THIS IS ABOUT TO GET SERIOUS!

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:03:07 PM
Lee Westwood just left it dead in the jaws for eagle on the 13th to get two shots back of the lead.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:04:40 PM
Bubba gets upset at the dumbest stuff. Deep on No. 11? That's actually a good shot, dude.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:09:24 PM
The biggest winner of the day? The guy that wins the Masters. Second? The dude that gave that Oosthuizen's ball back to Augusta.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:12:20 PM
Bubba takes par on Nos. 9, 10 & 11 ... he has to be patient until 13 and 15 ... can do some serious damage there.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:15:13 PM
Entire media room just GASPED when that ball landed on No. 11 for Phil.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:17:01 PM
I'm not sure if "Shrek" is the worst nickname in the history of sports for Oosthuizen or the best ever ... on the fence

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:18:29 PM
Bubba deep on No. 12 ... going to be a tough one for Mr. Watson

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:19:04 PM
Can someone remind Bubba that he's still just two shots back of the lead to win the Masters?

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:24:44 PM
Westwood with a decent shot on 15.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:29:00 PM
COLD SHANK!

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:29:14 PM
Hozel rocket for Mr. Hanson ... maybe he was just laying up to his favorite yardage.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:29:32 PM
Sergio hardly backed down from his inwardly directed derogatory comments yesterday: "Do you think I lie when I talk?"

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 9:29:45 PM
Once again, as my Jewish golfing friends say after hitting a shot like Hanson just did, "Hoseltoff."

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 9:30:22 PM
That was a really bad stroke that nearly went in anyway for Westwood.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:32:29 PM
Most books hav a "JICUFU" part at the top RT @MisterFreedo: @shanebacon he actually checked his yardage book after that shankapotomus

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:37:00 PM
Dangit Phil, don't you know you're supposed to hit it in the pine straw on No. 13 at Augusta on Sunday?!?!

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:40:30 PM
RT @DaveKindred: At 5:32, seven within two shots. Be still my heart.

by GOLFonCBS via twitter 4/8/2012 9:40:48 PM
Would like to know if anyone has ever played two holes 5-under on a Sunday at a major.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:42:36 PM
If you think Sergio Garcia was going to back down from his comments on Saturday, you'd be wrong. cbsprt.co

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:47:21 PM
Hozel and a rock. RT @AlanShipnuck: Hanson is playing Amen Corner a tad unconventionally.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:48:41 PM
PHILLY MAC!

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:49:20 PM
If Mickelson makes eagle on 13, he will play the hole 6-under for the week. Think they should rename it from Azalea to Philly?

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:51:03 PM
If Oosty wins, we got a formal trend alert: Forget the Northern Irish thing, if you wanna win a major now, become a South African farmer.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 9:51:04 PM
What will Peter do next? #probablynotwin

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:52:27 PM
Dude, he's not even close to the lea ... ohhh, nevermind RT @ChrisBurke_SI: Tigersssss!!!!!!!

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:53:14 PM
Lee Westwood hitting it to 20-feet means, at this point, he will most likely make par.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:53:52 PM
RT @BrentonSpeed: @peterjkostis is putting on a show in the tower on 13 #outstandingcommentary #otherstakenote @PGAonCBS

by GOLFonCBS via twitter 4/8/2012 9:55:34 PM
Kuchar - "Come on baby, be good!" We actually heard that roar INSIDE the press room.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:57:34 PM
Kuchar!

by GOLFonCBS via twitter 4/8/2012 9:57:36 PM
Louis! RT @RyanBallengeeGC: No one can make a putt, but give them a club from 250+, it's almost a gimme.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 9:59:08 PM
Sergio Garcia confirms what he said about "not being good enough to win a major" on Sunday. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/8/2012 10:00:15 PM
Probably not the compliment Lee wants right now! MT @NishaSadekar: Lee Westwood has a beautiful golden tan as well

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 10:01:30 PM
Bubba just hit that drive so far the entire press room laughed in unison.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 10:01:41 PM
RT @Front9Back9: I think I learn more from @peterjkostis during a @PGAonCBS broadcast then anyone on TV.

by GOLFonCBS via twitter 4/8/2012 10:03:20 PM
RT @shanebacon: Bubba just hit that drive so far the entire press room laughed in unison.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 10:03:37 PM
RT @KentTalbot: @PGAonCBS Kucher with a NEAR miss. #Oosthuizen makes a Great Par putt!!! Oh man oh man. Don't know if my heart can take ...

by GOLFonCBS via twitter 4/8/2012 10:03:49 PM
Barring miracle, Hanson about to become 11th player in 16 chances to blow 54-hole lead in PGA Tour play in '12. Oosty did it last week.

The guy who caught Oosthuizen's albatross ball, 59-year-old Wayne Mitchell, has given the ball to the club. Native Kiwi.

Here come the waterworks from Bubba...a big hug from his mom. He recently adopted a baby boy with his wife.

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/8/2012 11:40:53 PM
Tears, you're on the tee.

by Shane Bacon via twitter edited by Andrew DeWitt 4/9/2012 1:27:51 PM
Bubba birdies 13, 14, 15 and 16, making that stretch the 2012 Charl. Good stuff, Sir Bubba.

Another Watson is wearing a green jacket at Augusta...Jim Nantz on Bubba Watson's Masters win

Honestly, if Ping Golf announced they were going to sell those Pink G20 drivers today, they'd make a fortune.
