This tourney of all tournies has the players that have played well here in the past rise up and play well again.

Check the history and you'll see who will play well this week, regardless of recent form.

Golf Digest had a great piece about Carl Jackson this month (crenshaw's caddie). He was on Player's bag at one point in the early 70's. When he showed up the next year , Jackson Stephens, a big Augusta membertold him to take an ameatur. Jackson relented and a few years later ended up on Crenshaw's bag - the rest is history.

So even though he didn't win with Player, he got 2 wins with gently Ben.
If the course is hard and dry, he still thinks Ben can win.

One guy who won 3 green jackets, Faldo , each one of those I can remeber the other guy screwing up
1)floyd - in the water on 11 in the playoff
2)hoch - the 2 foot putt
3)norman - the 78 in the last round

Faldo played great golf and scopped up 3 green jackets that were thrown away

Martin...Faldo's scores on Sunday in each of the 3 times he won were 65, 69 and 67. That is the kind of golf it takes to win major championships.

Mind boggling for me Kev...as I look back and realize that this is the 10 year anniversary since Tiger won by 12 shots, in his first trip to Augusta as a professional. I am in my 17th year of working in the golf industry and I reflect back on the Pre-Tiger era vs. Tiger era...and it is two different worlds. I should send the guy a thank you note simply for the money he has made me since then. The amount of lessons I have given to new students to the game since he changed that game has been incredible.

You'll go crazy at this Kev, but I live within 10 mins walk of three golf courses, including one very very good one.. yet I dont play golf - its too slow for me at the moment.. maybe when i get older - i do like to bet on it though!!

I, GPK...officially disown my fellow "Kevin"....the words I feel towards him now are not suited for public message boards. Lives 10 minutes from one of the greatest golf courses man has ever been able to step foot on...and this son of a b*tch don't even play the game....


all that aside bro....when can I visit???

BrockGuy is lucky and he don't even know it! It is slow watching it...but out on the course...it's Iowa, I mean Heaven! Hope you pick up the habit soon...so you can reall enjoy it when you're older.

Your rgiht Kev about his great playing on Sunday, from your perspective he WON those tourneys. THey way i remember them is Hoch missing that short putt, Floyd bogeying the 71st hole after a mental error and then hitting the ball in the drink on 11 in the playoff (can't ever remember Floyd choking that bad). Norman's collapse was something hard to believe. On Thursady he tied the course record with a 63 and the shoots 78 on sunday - A FULL 15 strokes different , almost 1 stroke a hole for a top 3 player at the time.
Faldo's great SUnday rounds seem to get lost in the mix , because of the horror shows created by the guys that lost.


That being said I don't ever forget his wins at the British Open - His win in 1990 at the Old Course was as good a performance in a major as any of the ones I have seen (including Tiger).

Got Tiger Spray? With all these par 5 holes...Tiger will never be out of it.He can play so poorly,and still be alive.So much the better.If anybody else was spraying like this, they would be so far out of this.

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Damn,had to make a 6 foot putt to save bogey on 9? He gotta get it together,and stay 3 or 4 over.KEV,has he ever won when hitting poorly like this? I think top 5,but not win.Maybe it's the cold weather problem again.

Scuds...the fact he is only 5 shots out of this tournament is amazing. A trained chimp could drive the ball better right now. If he gets any kind of decent swing going tomorrow (which I think he will) he is gonna be very dangerous this weekend.

I just hope Vijay doesn't win.

Could easily win.Actually it is kind of the way he usually wins(the best guys appear to be having off weeks,and he is up there with guys who haven't won majors.)
