>>>The first round of the 2009 Masters have already started. So obviously it's still any body's guess to who'll win. I'm picking Geoff Ogilvy to win this year.

>>I am watching the last round, delayed about an hour on the DVR. Unbelievable excitement coming from the Tiger-Phil pairing. I thought they were too far back but they have proven that not to be the case. Mickelson in particular has been awesome, tying the course record on the front nine. Usually Tiger's playing partners fall apart, especially in the last round. Phil is obviously tough enough that it's not happening to him. It's Tiger who has had to save par several times, then throw in an eagle on the 8th, to stay within striking distance.

Quite a round. Cabrera made several absolutely terrible shots, yet still won it. He seemed to thrive on the late holes when he and the other leaders were no longer playing in secrecy <g>.
