Kaymer has not made the cut in the last 3 appearances here because he does not know how to hit a draw. There are too many dogleg lefts, esp hole 13, for someone who can't hit draws.

He recently changed his swing so that he can draw, and this is the first time the new swing is put to the test at Augusta.

So, Kaymer looks unlikely to win for now to me.

The golf ball is round, so you can never know who's on top and who's below until it stop.

For example, Hole 10, which Kaymer double-bogeyed, is a tricky dogleg left that requires a good draw.

"Description:
Historically the toughest hole at Augusta National, the tee shot requires a hard hook to gain extra distance. Drives that go too far right will leave a long second shot; if they go too far left, trees are a problem."

"A tee shot played to the right which does not avail itself of the slope will add at least two club numbers to the length of the second shot, in addition to which the approach to the green must be made across the slopes, rather than directly into them. A good drive down the left side usually makes it possible to play the second with a medium iron, sometimes even less if the wind be behind."

That statement is always true.

However, the current signs are so far not in his favour.

Neither is his past performance, missing the cut the last three appearances by playing 12 over for the six rounds.

You gotta be able to draw to score at Augusta (or fade for a lefty like Phil.)

At this rate, Kaymer may miss the cut again.

That's cool.

You are right bro Lee, Martin Kaymer may miss the cut. I really want to see Adam Scott come back to life.

Hey, Adam is one of my favourite players. I hope he does well too. Been performing better recently, showing signs of getting over the breakup w the previous gf.

but i dont think he is fully settled with his belly putter yet...

sergio!!!!

Sergio, The Best Iron Player. His putting bring him down. Very sad, good player but no luck.

Sergio's hole 13 alone can beat Tiger's entire round. He eagled it.

Sergio is improving, his new putter and putting stance may reap some nice results
Iron play and short game wise, power man, hope you saw his beautiful bunker shot... Nice!!

Go Sergio!!!

Sad to say Kaymer indeed missed the cut.

Back to the drawing board for the world no. 1 to work on his draw. Masters is an irresistible draw; resume does not seem complete even for a world no. 1 if you have not won at Augusta.

2nd day: Jason Day, Rory Mcilroy and Rickie Fowler flight was the best to watch. The new generation of golfer. Go Rory boy!

Looks like it's Jason day's day!!

Oops. Not anymore

Would love to see tiger n mcllroy paired in the finals!

You can go zoo and see tiger..

What a putt!!!! Go Rory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea... double breaker...

Yeah, Rory Mcilroy made a superb putt at 17th hole.

He's 4 up, a comfortable lead at Augusta.
Commentator said so far 9 players have lead from start to finish & win the Masters.... in history.
They way Rory Mcilroy had played for last 3 days, he seems on track to be no. 10.

Looks like the 21 yr old is gonna win the masters!!

78 cents says he crumbles. I like him but I think the field is stronger that he is up for. Of course, I'll gladly eat my words since I nor anyone is a fortune teller worth-a-poop.
