Make that two.

I'm so pulling Ernie to finally win, and he was doing great on the front 9 today before the back nine derailed his charge. Will be nice to see Retief win too (just like their demeanors), but he is struggling somewhat today.

After Vijay birdied two of the first 3 holes to go 7 under, I thought he was going to shoot 65 and run away with this thing, but two doubles is making everyone back into the game.

I usually just follow golf for Tiger. Only 6 behind 1st, and 3 behind 2nd. Come on...

It's all about Tiger. And Mickelson.

I'm more for rooting for Tiger because whether you want to admit it or not, he is the greatest active golfer. And one of the 2 greatest golfers of all time.

Hurray i'm not on my own :) The Masters is by far my favourite event to watch.

I'm hoping for an Ernie Els victory, it'd be really nice to see him win after all these years & he's only 4 behind at the half way stage. Other than Ernie i'm hoping for Darren Clarke, Woods and Howell.

Should be a really interesting days play today.

Here's watching as well. The Masters course is just amazing. Can't wait for 16th hole on sunday with that hole-in-one-friendly pin position.
I'm cheering Tiger as well. Plus I like to watch Luke Donald since he has the most elegant swing and from my fellow lefties my sympathies are with Mike Weir

Go Mike Weir! I'm glad Singh screwed up, I'm not really a fan of him at all.

PEACE, Mike.

Uh, hello? There's other people currently above Weir right now. I don't dislike any of them. Infact, I'm also a huge fan of Tiger Woods. I'm not a fan of Singh because I don't like him as a person.

PEACE, Mike.

I dislike only three: Rory Sabbatini, Phil Mickelson (can't stand his arrogant grin) and Chris DiMarco for his unsportsmanlike conduct during the last Ryder Cup

Here comes Mickelson: Birdied the first three holes, cut Campbells lead to two. Tiger is struggling with his iron shots today and had to make a lot of 5-10 footers for par. He finally found his driving accuracy but now the approcah shots are keeping him out of contention

I used to strongly dislike Mickelson, but not so much anymore. For some reason i really dislike Davis Love III as well.

He's a sexist and an old grouch. He was being smoked by Mickelson in the first two rounds in a tournament once and asked for Mickelson's driver to be checked. His overall attitude is not something I support.

PEACE, Mike.

Play suspended due to darkness. Mickelson and Campbell started to falter.
Campbell leads only by one ahead of Tim Clark and Rocco Mediate. Tiger tied Mickelson at -3 for fourth, three strokes back

Looking better for Woods now than it did at the start of the day :)

Going to be a great final day, just hope the weather is good.

I was praying that Chad would come back to the field, and he finally did.

Tim Clark could have had six straight birdies to start the third round (assuming he made the downhill 4-footer tomorrow morning) if he hadn't lipped the third one out and lagged the fourth one short. What a story that could've been.

Now the golf course will surely firm up tomorrow and become more difficult, and that gives Tiger, Retief, and others who have played the first 9 holes some advantages.

The top 5 are all at least tied for 7th and within 4 shots of the lead going into Sunday. Won't be that the first time ever at a major championship?

I love how all the top players are right in it, it'll be fun tomorrow. Don't think it'll be Chad Campbell, and I don't think it'll be Tiger. Maybe Reteif will make a charge?

Tiger is dead. Three consecutive bogeys from 14 to 16 leave him 5 shots behind at the moment

Wow. I've never seen Tiger this off with his irons. He's now really out of contention. It seems it is Mickelson's to lose now, but Olazabl just eagled to move to 5 under - only one stroke behind Phil. And the Spaniard has Amen Corner already behind him. He has really a realistic chance for his third jacket

And there's Rocco Mediate doing his best Tin Cup impression at the 13th :tongue:

Olazabal's putt at 16th lips out, now 2 back. Dang! Please, anyone but Mickelson
