3rd & 7 37yd

Back story 2: I asked Ernie Els who he thought would have won that fight. "I'll say Vijay, because I think he would fight dirty." Hilarious.

Asked Augusta National officials for details/explanation of Masters slow-play policy. If there is one. Will let u know if they elaborate.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/7/2012 1:49:19 PM
Slow Play: When Tiger finished Friday round, he noted to reporter the EXACT time it took to play, "It was 5:42, actually." Exasperating.

It's Moving Day at Augusta, so what does each of the leaders need to do to have a shot on Sunday? cbsprt.co

By the way, though this event is not run by the PGA Tour, as a tour member, Tiger is still subject to "conduct unbecoming" fines.

RT @danjenkinsgd: Tiger kicked his 9-iron yesterday. Best contact he made all day.

Thinking about writing a Couples piece, but decided to just do it here -- "Fred Couples is not going to win the Masters." Okay, there.

Rory McIlroy shot himself out of contention at a second straight Masters. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/7/2012 11:41:25 PM
I saw Rory McIlroy on the 11th tee. Dude looked like he just needed a hug. So instead I wrote a column about it. cbsprt.co

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/7/2012 11:41:50 PM
Hunter Mahan has won twice this year. He's T-6 at the Masters ... and some reporter asked him today about the Ryder Cup chip #facepalm

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/7/2012 11:48:44 PM
And I apologize to all those Peter Hanson fans - we didn't post on him but he did have an incredible, incredible round. Great shot on No. 9

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/7/2012 11:51:07 PM
Actually think McIlroy will bounce back nicely tomorrow, mostly because he's paired with buddy Graeme McDowell.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/7/2012 11:55:03 PM
Andddd ... Fred Couples and Jason Dufner paired together again. That'll be a reunion I'm sure they're glad to relive.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/7/2012 11:55:36 PM
Peter Hanson was third guy in final group in Abu Dhabi 2 months ago, with Tiger Woods and winner Robert Rock. Totally imploded with 78.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/7/2012 11:57:27 PM
Must admit, getting a little sad that tomorrow is my last day at Augusta. Been an incredible experience and I won't want to go.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/7/2012 11:59:19 PM
Mickelson's family is Swedish,will play today with Sweden's Peter Hanson. Their biggest fan makes Phil's fave dessert. bit.ly

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 11:38:40 AM
Happy Easter, everybody. Hopefully, Masters setup man Fred Ridley is out putting pins in bunny spots today. We want birdies.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 11:40:23 AM
RT @kkraft11: Last amateur round this morning! Going to be aggressive! No time for bogeys!

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 11:41:54 AM
Stat stuff nobody saw coming: The worst finish for Tiger Woods in 15 Masters appearances as a professional is T22. He is currently T38.

What do the leaders at Augusta need to do to win the green jacket? @shanebacon investigates. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/8/2012 3:33:31 PM
Those EA Sports games are pretty realistic. Maybe 2013 version of Tiger Woods game can feature club kicking and cussing. Just press 'X.'

Guys watching on TV, has CBS shown the Adam Scott ace on the 16th yet?

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:28:54 PM
Phil Mickelson is playing like the Phil Mickelson of '03.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 7:31:21 PM
Mickelson just hit the biggest fanned iron I have ever seen on the fourth hole and could be looking at a penalty shot.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:31:26 PM
Wow, I think Phil hit that shot into the Patron Bowel Evacuation Station. Meaning, Port-a-Potty area. Figuratively, anyway.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:33:14 PM
Finally, Adam Scott ace!

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:33:44 PM
RT @dougferguson405: Steve Williams said that was the best ace he's ever had at 16. #adamscott

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:34:38 PM
Phil doing an Easter Egg hunt for his ball, near a lateral hazard area with lots of cabbage, bambo, trees.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:36:24 PM
His score is about to get HIGHHHH RT @DanWetzel: Did Phil hit that into a marijuana field?

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 7:37:29 PM
Phil hit it into a Vietnam-thick bamboo stand and it's starting to look like Apocalypse Now. He needs a machete, not a wedge.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:39:47 PM
Jeff Maggert was leading the '03 Masters in the final round and hit himself off a bunker lie. Mickelson nearly just replicated it.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 7:40:25 PM
Good question. RT @ogilviej: Anyone ever win the Masters with two triples?

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 7:41:41 PM
That's two triples in a week for Phil. Can he recover?

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:42:05 PM
RT @Matthias1985: Masters Sunday: Drama Drama Drama @PGAonCBS

by GOLFonCBS via twitter 4/8/2012 7:42:30 PM
I would say Phil was bamboo-zled by that scenario, but that would be a bad pun. I am above those.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:42:56 PM
Tiger is really, really weird.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 7:45:39 PM
Here is a recap of what exactly happened with Phil Mickelson on No. 4 cbsprt.co

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 7:54:15 PM
Phil made a very bad decision. Flipped club over, hit two shots as a right-hander, barely moved ball from trash. Two rights do make a wrong.

by Steve Elling via twitter 4/8/2012 7:54:53 PM
66 for Adam Scott is his low round ever at the Masters. Making an ace usually helps.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 4/8/2012 7:55:34 PM
Phil Mickelson hacks his way to a triple-bogey that could ruin his Masters chances. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 4/8/2012 7:56:52 PM
RT @LukeDonald: A frustrating week but nice to finish the week off with a solid round. Enjoying the coverage now, nothing like Masters S ...
