The Masters - Day Two

A day for the young??? I am watching 3 young players as they vie for the lead of the Masters on day two; McIlroy, Fowler and Day. Some real talent in this threesome. Naturally my thoughts turn to how many tournaments have been won by first timers and how there are so many talented players who have not yet reached their 25^th birthday. Will the 2011 Masters Champion be one such youthful player?

As I ponder that thought, I see that there are two veterans quietly making moves out on the course. One of them would stand the hairs on the back of my neck on end if I was leading the championship, Tiger Woods. Tiger is now only three off the lead. The other is Lee Westwood who was recently the number one player in the world. He turned in a five under 67 today and sits only five back.

Additionally, some of the perennial powerhouses are on the first two pages of the leaderboard and any one of them could make a charge tomorrow on moving day and challenge the leader Rory McIlroy.

Like all Masters Championships, this will prove to be a nail biter. Stay tuned.

Tiger Apologizes

I watched the Tiger Woods press conference today and realized that I really don't need to hear his apology. He didn't need to publicly apologize. He did not do anything to me for which he had to apologize. It really is between him and his family. If he feels that he must apologize to his foundation and sponsors, that is best done personally, not through a national event.

He seemed a little robotic and I suppose I would have been too if I went on national TV and expressed my regrets for having nailed half the women in the US. On a different note, I saw pictures of the women and I am not sure why he didn't just go home. He cheated on better than any he stepped out with. Oh well, I guess I would have to walk a mile in his shoes. Is that possible? This could be a new reality TV show. "Walk in Tiger's Shoes". You have all the money in the world and gorgeous women available to you daily, what would you do???? How may of us would get up and publicly apologize for our subsequent choices?
