Mark Down the Day

Mr. Black was wrong.

After railing on the course changes earlier in the week, The Masters were blessed with an easy layout the first two days and perfect weather. Low scores (but not too low) ensued and there was madness to be expected on "Moving Day."

The madness yesterday didn't happen, but in true Masters form, today is shaping up to be great. Lefty (Mickelson for you once a year golf fans) is charging and currently in third. Tiger, who happens to be his partner is charging right along with him. Playing aggressive golf and pushing each other along, this could be a round for the ages.

The secondary players in this drama are Kenny Perry, Chad Campbell and Angel Cabrera. All of them need to shoot below par to hold of the superstars and win the tourney. Right now, Cabrera is looking the most aggressive, which to me says he's the guy to watch. With the back nine left to play, he can really ring up a low score if he settles down and starts striking the ball.

So is the Masters back? Let's hope so . . . the course is still a little too long, but the course set up this year was really spectacular. A little bonus golf maybe? Three or four man playoff? Here's to a photo finish. And mark down the day, I'm not often wrong.
