The Masters *spoilers*

[Snash]

Always think of the Masters as heralding the start of spring

Longer course again this year. Rocco Mediate sticks in a fine round to start with but big Vijay looks good at -5 after 15.

Poor Nick Faldo has had a nightmare, never much like him as a personality but during the late 80's and early 90's he was THE man on the golf course. Will never forget the way he blitzed Greg Norman that year in Augusta in 1996.

Thunderstorms delaying the golf today. Leaders aren't out until 7.50pm our time. Looks like it will be another late night

Good bunch of players all within 5 shots or so of the lead, would love to see big Darren Clarke do well here. But, I think that Mickelson must be looking good given his current form although no-one has won the Masters after winning the previous week since Sandy Lyle - '87?

Gary Player used to do press ups on his pinkies

He was reckoned to be one of the best bunker players ever, but he practised so much. After allegations of him being a lucky player, he said " you know it's funny, the harder I practice the luckier I get"

Things really starting to hot up now! Still fancy Mickelson to do it but others chasing him close

Only just tuned in, has everyone finished their holes from yesterday?

Yes - leaders from yesterday (Chad Campbell et al) had to play 14 holes from their 3rd round this morning.
