2006 MASTERS: SECOND ROUND

The second round of the Masters is here! Can Veeger stay on top? Can Tiger get in the red? Will DiMarco, Daly and Olazabal bounce back from rough first rounds and make the cut? Will Phil eat fruit or a supersized chili dog at the turn? This afternoon's notable tee times:

12:57 M. Weir, R. Goosen
1:08 J. Olazabal, D. Toms, L. Donald
1:19 V. Singh, A. Oberholser
1:30 T. Woods
1:41 F. Couples, J. Furyk

I can only watch the leaderboard on my computer as it updates, so here's what I see so far:

UPDATE - 12:50 PM
* Mark Hensby: -5 thru 16. Good show, Hensby, ol' boy! Where were you yesterday, Gov'nuh?
* David Duval: +8 thru 6. After carding a double bogey on the 1st, and a 10 (TEN!) on the par 5 2nd, I have to say that he'll "miss the cut comfortably".
* Bohn, O'Hern, C. Campbell making a charge.
* Ernie looking good early, -3 thru 8.

UPDATE - 3:53 PM
* Today's low round (so far): 67. Oh, Hensby, you've done it again!
* Veeger with double bogeys on 4th and 5th! Wow, that puts him 2 back.
* Weir and Figs staying close, Tiggs not rallying yet (E thru 8).
* Smashing, Chad! Muffy called to tell you she loves your 5 under par round!
* Top 44 make the cut, which is currently projected to be +4 (Bjorn, Daly, Monty on wrong side of the fence). You knew DiMarco wasn't even going to make the cut if I picked him. Kiss of death. Sorry, man.

Swedish sissy boy Henrik Stenson sold out his caddie, saying his club selection cost him some strokes yesterday. Shut up, you big baby.

Gary Player shot a 79 yesterday, and is on pace for the same today (+6 through 13). I'll probably never do that, and he's doing it at the age of 70. Give it up for the Black Knight!
