    Anyone else super excited for the Masters this week? Should be a lot of buzz seeing as how Tiger is playing well. I hope he runs away with it.

    On a side note, apparently they are going to start cracking down on these obnoxious, self centered A-holes who shout out after the ball is hit. I am told they have a list of phrases that will result in immediate removal. "Dilly dilly" being among them.

    I think this is long overdue. I propose no phrases can be shouted within 2 seconds of contact, only generic one word yells like "yeah!" and clapping.

    It would be hard to argue he's not back now. On the leaderboard in 2 majors. It's a near miracle coming from where he was, yet here he is. Think even the believers had all but fallen off the believer wagon in their hearts.

    He's moving different today than he has in recent years. He's moving like the Tiger of old. Playing like it, too. Could finish today in 2nd and in the final pairing for tomorrow. Woods-Koepka would be fun to watch.

    Scores already going low today. Going to be a fun last day with a lot of guys in contention. Just wish Tiger could've gotten that eagle on 17 and birdie on 18. He'd be tied for the lead.

    No matter what happens, vintage Tiger showed up today.

    Brings a tear to my eye.

    If I run into a brook, I'm definitely going to piss in it - and all brooks, for that matter. That surpassed Stewart Cink beating 59-year-old Tom Watson at the '09 British Open. Don't piss in sinks, though -- especially if it's your sink.

    Safe to say that Tiger isn't done.

    He's the best golfer in the tourny when his driver is going.

    First year back.

    Could have easily won two this year.

    Incredible.

    Been watching Tiger religiously since 97 masters. He is officially back. He unlocked his confidence again today. As focused as I have ever seen him.

    Tip of the cap to Koepka. Dude has clearly put in a lot of work and his steely determination is impressive.

    Another thing that is extremely encouraging, in his postgame interview Tiger talked about how positive the fans were and how grateful he was for the things that they were saying and that it helped him through.

    Like it or not, the fan element is a permanent and important part of his game now. Ushering in these good vibes with the fans is exactly what he needs to do. Choose to use the crowd to his advantage.
