Tiger is closing in fast - can he do it?

Some of the highest quality shots I have seen for a long time ,from many of the players!

Edge of the seat stuff - and I dont even play!

Phil Mickleson's round has been stunning so far!

looks like Tiger is fluffing it!

Not a big golf fan usually ,but when the weather is like this Augusta has to be one of the best looking courses in the world.The standard of the greens and fairways is just superb.

I can't believe the putts that Mickelson has missed on the back 9! If the winner was decided on shot-making on today's round then he would win but he's back to his old habits with the putter...

Perry looks like the man to beat now.

Watching to the bitter end here, would like to see Cabrera take the title personally.

"Get in the hole..." - Can they not shoot these morons who scream this phrase the moment the ball leaves the tee? On a par 3 it's annoying, on a par 5 it's just retarded! mad

Back on topic, a great finale at a staggering golf course. smile

Its very bad form to shout this at some events, obviously not at this one. Stupid people.

I was hoping that with it being the Masters at Augusta and their impeccable standards that they would have ejected these idiots, seemingly not frown

As I said before, I'm really not a massive golf fan, but I like to watch the Augusta Masters and the Open. I even bought a USB TV tuner stick for my PC for this year (and for capping Glastonbury, admittedly) so I had been watching the coverage of Amen Corner too.

Maybe I am biased because the bloke that designed it lived just down the road from me, but it is a great looking course. I think that this year the course looked the best I have ever seen it, by a large margin. Most years are a bit early, a bit late, or it has been windy and cold and the flowers haven't bloomed. This year it was spot on, with blue skies and strong but cool sun. When you look at it on TV, it is so hard to believe that it is in an urban area, with developments on all sides - Have a look on Google Earth¬

The first 3 days had been a bit mediocre, with not much UK or European interest, but I don't think I have ever seen a finish like that. With various players fortunes ebbing and flowing, I even found myself cheering on Tiger Woods at one point! This is what great sport is about, not one person dominating everything with a predictable outcome.

Brilliant stuff!
