Interesting to see some red figures in the early going at the Masters, including Mark Calcavecchia, who is 3-under through three holes.
This would suggest the powers that be at Augusta understand the course was too damned hard yesterday (Bob Weeks noted the temperature fell dramatically yesterday) and have set the pins in easier spots. That should play into Tiger’s hands, but it could also bring more players into the mix.
My pick, Appleby folds, and Woods bests Harrington or Taylor for the win.
