3pmET: Tiger (image right: Tiger tees off on #13) has made par on the first 10 holes. He never usually lights it up in the first round of The Masters anyway so he’s right where he wants to be.
Phil Mickelson birdied the first hole.
Zach Johnson almost flew his tee shot in the hole on the par-3 12th. He had about a 3-4 inch birdie putt.
I think I’ll continue blogging in this post now because I’m making too many small blogs…
3:15: Zach Johnson leads by two shots at -4 with another birdie at 13. Tiger pars 12 for his 12th par in a row. Phil birdies #2 and starts out this Masters birdie-birdie.
3:35: Tiger chunked a pitch shot from the back of #13 green which rolled back off the green. He then putted pretty far past the hole and is going to have a long 12 foot putt to save par. NO. Tiger BOGEYS the par-5 13th. 12 pars and one bogey for Tiger.

I’m watching holes 15 & 16 LIVE at Masters.org. Ian Poulter just hit a perfect shot and made an ACE at #16! Wow. He’s now atop the leaderboard at -3.
Mark O’Meara just birdied 16. He’s on FIRE on the back with four birdies so far.
The Hooked On Golf Blog voters, a.k.a. “The Pundits,” have spoken. It was a tight poll but the largest percentage of readers think Tiger will win four majors this year. As great as Tiger is, I think he won’t. It’s just too difficult and ONE swing in the U.S. OPEN or even a tough Masters (like when he broke his club last year on #11) can cost a victory.

I’m unable to view any of the live video from Masters.org on my Mac. I’m running Firefox 2.0.0.13. It keeps telling me I need to install flash player 9, which is already installed. This happens every year. You’d think CBS or Masters.org or whoever is programming their sites would fix this after so many years.
No problem though, as it works fine with Safari. So I’ve got full screen video running now.
Mark O’Meara, my pal, is playing pretty well right now. He’s the first to birdie the super tough #11. UPDATE: Mark just birdied the beautiful par three #12 to get back to even par!
UPDATE: Mark just birdied #13 too! He birdied all three holes on amen corner!
Tiger Woods, Stuart Appleby and Angel Cabrera just teed off.
Update: Tiger parred #1.
