Masters’ Leftovers John Feinstein lets us know that “Golf Will Survive without a Major from Woods.” Trevor Immelman does the Top 10 on The Late Show with David Letterman: Geoff Shackelford excerpts from Golf World and The Times highlighting that the general consensus is that Augusta National “has become all about playing defensively and minimizing [...]
The only things left from the 2008 Masters are a few highlights and some half-hearted coverage on the golf channel. The final round was plain and simple. The leader backed up and no one wanted it badly enough to make up the difference. Brandt Snedeker’s disappointment was made too clear by his weeping during the [...]
Liveblogging the final round of the 2008 Masters from my living room. Can Immelman hold on to win his first major? Can Tiger charge? Will Phil implode further? These questions and more will be answers. Stay tuned! 11:03 — OK, I’m going to get breakfast. Will resume when more players are on the course. 11:00 [...]
Early Bird Round four begins at 10:35am when 1988 Masters champion Sandy Lyle tees off by himself. With no one in his way, he should be able to finish before the leaders tee off at 2:25pm. Despite finishing last, it would be nice to get the final round out of the way early and kick [...]

Ernie Els’ coaching switch from David Leadbetter to Butch Harmon wasn’t enough to keep Ernie in contention this week. Sergio Garcia continues to search for his competitive spirit and once-superb shot-making abilities. Both missed the [...]
How the cut works: The field is cut to the low 44 and ties. Anyone within ten shots of the leader gets to play the weekend, too. Projected Cut The cut should fall at +3 or +4. Unless something really funky happens, then the ten-shot rule won’t come into play. There are currently ten players [...]
I was busy with class and such, so I did what I could to keep up with the Masters today. Thanks to the live online coverage via Masters.org I was able to see the groups passing through Amen Corner and holes 15 and 16. While I was driving around, XM Radio had some decent coverage. [...]
Pure Domination – 1997 Tiger Woods’ 1997 record-setting victory. I was and still am a huge Tiger Woods fan. Just that past summer I watched and rewatched on tape Tiger’s 1996 U.S. Amateur victory over Steve Scott. Those two tournaments may still be the two best golf tournaments I’ve ever seen. Win One for the [...]
