    Very cool story. Love the part about Watson.

    If Bradley wins, he will have won his first two major championship starts. Obviously never been done. Don't think he could pull that off.

    I don't think he can win it, either, but on his best, his game fits, and wouldn't be surprised if he has a decent week.

    Me too -- he wrote a letter to him, and Watson wrote a letter back. Old technology still works, people! :D

    Woodland paired with Quiros tomorrow. I doubt you'll see many 2-irons off the tee.

    Woodland-Quiros and also Cabrera, McIlroy and Bubba Watson. Lot of dick-measuring off the tee will be going on in those two groups.

    In our blind pool, I have drawn Haas, Dufner, O'Hair and Tim Clark. Debating whether to tear up the slip now or wait until 7 p.m. Friday.

    I meant first time in the toonamint, like a Sang-Moon Bae. That's too tall of an order; hasn't been done since Fuzzy in '79.

    This was so damn good. Weinreb makes me jealous.

    I'm sure Rory won't mind hitting first from the fairway then watching Bubba hit out of the pinestraw.

    Actually the Masters should be tailored made for Bubba since there's not Open like trouble off the tee and he's really creative in his approaches but Bubba's short game and putting are not as strong.

    The Masters was really made for Daly, he of the beautiful hands, unfortunately, his head was never on straight. Imagine if he had played a Masters like he played St. Andrews in '95, he could've had a couple. Daly putted like few others could.

    Daly always felt he should have won a Green Jacket as well.

    I still wonder if McIlroy has it stuck in his head from a year ago. One thing that makes me think he does.....he was hitting 3-wood off 10. I know you hit driver to hell and gone there last year on Sunday. You could land a KingAir in that fairway. Do what you did for 63 holes.
