WHO WON?:

When it comes to Tiger, everyone is throwing in the towel: Players on the PGA Tour are conceding to the sport's top star even before tournaments begin. (Bill Plaschke, April 10, 2008, LA Times)

Welcome to the Masters, where the world's best golfers have gathered this week to carry on a tradition like none other.

Kissing up to Tiger.

Have you ever heard anything like it? In a sports world whose very pulse is pumped by the heartbeat of competition, would this happen anywhere else?

Tiger Woods showed up here this week reiterating his understandable belief that he can win this summer's golf Grand Slam.

Then his opponents -- exasperated gasp -- agreed with him.

"He has already won four majors in a row, so it's not an impossible feat," Phil Mickelson said this week. "I think it's doable."

Doable? Lefty, are you that dork-able?

You're Woods' biggest rival, yet you're going to concede him the entire World Series even before the season's first pitch?


The sponsors of our NCAA contest were so generous we'll have books left over for a Masters contest. Pick three golfers and we'll total their scores.

Unlike me to pick two Euros but this is a course where Faldo, Woosnam, Lyle, Ballesteros and Olazabal have all won.

I don't have the scores in front of me, but either Rich Plumb (Woods, Mickelson, Goosen) or the Other Brother (by 1 minute over Melissa, with Woods, Singh, Mickelson) probably won.

My dark horses (O'Hair, Weekley, and Bubba) all did well, but didn't finish under par.

Did Furyk make the cut or finish low enough for Jim in Chicago to win?

I think Mike Morley won, with Woods, Harrington, and Mickelson.
