  Watching Tiger on the front nine today at Augusta was awesome..U could see the old Tiger emerge..from the abyss!

   

  Great day 4 at the masters!

  I had a feeling tho that the South African dude was gonna win after those two amazing holes in the beginning.

  Gotta feel bad for the young Irishman who fell to pieces under the roars of the crowd and pressure...good kid..he'll be back..soon.

  You never know though. A day like that might make him an ever better player. But it could also ruin his career. Some players never come back the same after a round like that in a major. Since Sergio blew the British Open a couple of years back he has never been the same player. It strengthens some players and kills others.

  Outstanding event fer shure.

  Feel Bad for the young Irishman..he's young and will rebound.

  Nice to see tiger starting to get his game together. I just hope he's not another Tom Watson that loses his ability to putt. It happens.

  Perfectly summed up Longshire.

  After watching how cool he was under the pressure, and even how calmly he reacted as he fell apart, I tend to agree that it is only a matter of time until he ends up on top. I was very impressed with his talent and demeanor, and felt very sorry for him as his lead dwindled away. Okay, as his lead plummeted to its death.

  All in all, one of the best Masters I can remember.

  Gotta agree VHL, the action on the back 9 Sunday was incredible! So many possible winners it was like the lottery!

  How about that S African making 4 birdies on the last 4 holes.  What a round of golf under so much pressure. I hope this didn't crush Rory. Anybody who leads the Masters for 3 rounds has to be considered a Great golfer.

  Love him or hate him.....golf needs Tiger Woods, watching him play like that will get the viewership and TV ratings back up to where they were before Tigerporn happened. The guy is the best thing that ever happened to the PGA Tour and they know it. Nice to see him finally show his capabilities again....hopefully we see some more of it soon.

  Unfortunate what happened to Rory....he will bounce back i am sure....these setbacks usually make you better.

  No, it doesn't.  The jock-sniffers and hangers-on need him, but golf doesn't.  Sure, he drives up ratings when he's doing well, but he's also a detriment when he's slumping.  Those people who only turn on golf to band-wagon his victories are not golf fans.  They are as fickle as any other temporary fanbase and will be gone before you know it.

  Golf will be fine without Eldrick winning everything.  There is enough young talent out there now that we can get past the genuflecting every time he picks up a club.  As was proved in Augusta last weekend, golf can be exciting even when Eldrick fails.  We all knew that he was out when he finished... how many of you turned it off at that time?  How many said "Well, Tiger's done, I'm gonna go mow the lawn." Not many, I would wager.

  No... Golf will be fine without "All Tiger All The Time" coverage.
