What a beautiful day it was today. The television was dedicated to LIVE from The Masters and SportsCenter LIVE at The Masters. The highlight of the day was watching Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson pairing up for a practice round. I'll be pulling for both Phil and Tiger this weekend!
Tomorrow is the par 3 contest. It's a great tuneup for the tournament that will start early Thursday morning!
Day 339...
The par 3 contest didn't disappoint. The big story most the day was the play of the big three, Jack, Tom, and Gary. However, all it took was a celebration to go wrong to quickly vault to the head of the discussion. Tony Finau had just hit a hole in one and sprinted down the fairway...that's when this story and his ankle took a serious detour.

Everyone was either shocked he was able to walk or trying not to get sick watching him pop it back into place. The thought of this being the big highlight was sickening to the folks watching from Augusta National and those watching on TV. Thankfully it only took a couple minutes for the ankle turn to be nothing but a distant memory thanks to the grandson of the Golden Bear, Gary.

One of the best parts of the ace, is listening to the commentary from Gary Player.

I'm so ready for the Masters! I can't wait for 5:15am. I'll be up to watch the ceremonial first tee shot.
So who will I pick to win at Augusta? I want Tiger, Phil, or Rickie
