Masters Pairings

and PHIL will be out early-late (not too early and not too late)

10:43 EST with Leishman and Stensen (Rose, Speith, Tiger, VJ and others were unavailable for PHIL)

Then 1:39 EST on Friday

Thankful today. Just got home and was fearful of a Rose pairing!

he's a featured pairing for Friday

That is great. Hoping for a super tournament!

Day in the life of Bones MacKay at Masters

All I'm hearing is 20 mph winds and gusts even worse for the first 3 days. It better not be one of those tournaments where luck dictates the winner more than it should.

it's not. Should favor Phil as he is one of the best wind players. Keeps this from being the birdie fest that it was last year. His iron play from what I saw at Houston is nowhere near sharp enough to win a birdie fest. However, his short game is good enough to win where -5 is the winning score

Good to hear. PHIL needs every advantage and some lucky breaks. Form coming in is pretty good. The window to rack up majors at his age is closing.

GREAT ARTICLE. nice to read since  Phil had zero coverage on the espn par 3  two hour show.  I know he finished early but not even a clip.

As per usual I really enjoyed Phil's interview from earlier this week.

Phil is a rare exception among professional athletes today in that he often expresses his opinions and how he actually feels about something, rather than spurting out a bunch of platitudes or cliches. I'd love to see him on a show like Feherty.
