Masters Rounds 2 and 3
Author: Sean | Category: InformationWow is all you can really say about the last couple of days. So far this years tournament is looking to be one of the best in recent memory and its not even the final round yet. As I had predicted a couple of days ago, Phil Mickelson has raised his game to a whole new level and has taken Augusta by storm. Not only did he shoot a five under 67, he had two eagles (and nearly a third) in a row to take the lead after being down four strokes. Unfortunately he slipped up a little after that, but he still is only one stroke back of the surprisingly consistant Lee Westwood.
Lurking close behind the Westwood and Mickelson are K.J. Choi and Tiger Woods who are both eight under for the tournament. These two guys started the Masters in the same group and look to play their fourth consecutive round together later Sunday afternoon. And just behind Woods and Choi is Fred Couples who appeared to be out of contention with a weak second round but rebounded nicely on Saturday with a four under 68 to return to relevance.
So who will pull it off? Will it be the wily Englishman Westwood who has been the consistant leader? Or Lefty who has overcome the hardest year of his life in search of his third green jacket? Or the fallen hero that is fighting to reassert his dominance in the sport of golf? Only one can win, hopefully we will be treated to a classic finish.
