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.
There’s a small weather delay for the first round of The Masters. Tee times at Augusta National will start today at 9am instead of 8am ET.
Q. You made a comment earlier this year that winning all four in a calendar year, all four majors, was possible; has anything happened so far so dissuade you from that opinion?
TIGER WOODS: No.
What kind of stupid question is this for a reporter to ask Tiger? What answer is he expecting? Something like this perhaps:
TIGER WOODS: Yes. I now think I can’t win four majors in a row. In fact, I doubt I can win anything. I have no confidence at all coming into this week. I’m seriously considering withdrawing and retiring. I’ve lost my edge and I’m terrified to even tee up a ball now.
For the first time in Masters history, the traditional par-3 contest will be televised. For those who didn’t know, Augusta National Golf Club has a par-3 course as well as the big boy course. Since 1960 there’s been a par-3 tournament which is held the Wednesday of Masters week. For the gazillionth time mentioned, no par-3 contest winner has ever gone on to win the Masters tournament.
The first ever coverage of the par-3 will be on ESPN from 3-5pm ET. Yes, I know. I just can’t wait to hear the ESPN announcers butcher this with their tired and no longer entertaining form of broadcasting. I can’t wait to hear the announcers come up with their lame old “names” for the players like Roger “Chocolate” Maltbe. My gag reflex is already in action.
I have a better idea. I think I’ll power up my iTunes library and turn the TV sound off during this broadcast! Heavy metal and golf. What a great combo!
