Nick Faldo‘s hair is as greasy as ever. He needs some wardrobe help. He’s wearing floods and his shirt is way too tight for his not-so buff body.

Tim Clark aced the 9th hole to reach -5 for the par 3 contest at the Masters.

Greg Norman aced the 6th hole an turned to give his caddy a kiss. His caddy is Chris Evert.

The Big Three are playing together, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player.

Jack Nicklaus birdied the first two holes and nearly birdied the 3rd.

Bubba Watson‘s wife, and caddy, dumped two shots into a lake.

Ben Crenshaw can still putt.

John Merrick aced the 2nd hole.

Gary Player made a par on the 9th hole after hitting his tee shot in the water. An mulligan ACE!

I have nothing personal against Mickelson..but he won’t contend this week. He’s fine as long as the demands of the event aren’t greater than his expectations..The real difference between him and great players? Toughness….my guess…Thurs 74…Fri…72..Sat..71…Sun..75..292 and never a contender beyond the self-pumping hat tug on the first hole…..

Phil has some real big fans and some people who really don’t like him. Never met the guy, and he’s never spit in a hole and denied it. So he’s ok with me. If I were to meet him and he was a jerk then that would change. Conversely if he was cool, I’d definitely let my readers know.
