Yeah, forget Tiger. Great birdies by Scott and Cabrera at 18 in the pouring rain.

Now if moving back took away a tree or obstacle that had been in between the hole and Tiger, then I'd say that was not fair. I have yet to hear any reasoning behind his dropping further back.
Players of Tiger's caliber are remarkably good at repeating a shot.
His first shot carried just far enough to hit the base of he flag. By stepping back two yards, the exact same shot would have come up two yards short of the flag.
advantage tiger.

What is most puzzling is why he wasn't DQ'd for missing the cut. Much ballyhoo about the 'cut' that allowed the Chinese teenager to play this weekend being 4 over par (10 behind the leader). The 2 stroke penalty put Tiger at +5, which made him 11 behind. Nobody has mentioned this at all.

Even without the penalty putting him over the 'cut', he still should have been DQ'd for the reasons stated above.
actually if I recall correctly Tiger was at -3 and not +3 the two stroke penalty brought him back to -1 .


Playoff!!!
and what a finish.
I'm delighted to see the final outcome ( no spoilers here)
There is nothing quite like the feeling of finishing a putt with the ball looking in the cup.

I would love the opportunity to just walk that course the week before the masters let a lone play it.
There are few parks as beautifully manicured as that course.
It one of the few courses I would drop serious coin to play at.
The reality is " your money is no good here. " it's invitation only.
I wonder if any of the Augusta members need a kidney.
They can have the one with the stones.

You are absolutely correct... He was at -3 (another BIG "vintage" moment here).

And yes indeed... WHAT a finish!

He cheats on the field as well as off and that's news. That's why I watch hockey.
