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.

Bubba birdies 13, 14, 15 and 16, making that stretch the 2012 Charl. Good stuff, Sir Bubba.

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