Sneds, El Pato, Scotty, JD, Kuch, Tiger, Stricks...
Right now all these guys and others are getting set, warming up, hitting a few putts, chips, irons and full blooded drivers as they get set for one of the great days in golf every year..
Sunday afternoon at Augusta, this time on a partly cloudy warm calm day with a chance of showers later in the afternoon..
Will Brandt Snedeker, earlier this year the hottest golfer out of the gate with two T2 and a win at Pebble Beach, the best putter on tour win his 1st major.
Angel Cabrera, El Pato (the duck) named for his waddling gait, now 269 in the world, but after a scolding from his coach Charlie Epps, re dedicated to the game, to a proper diet and exercise plan, split up from his wife with his son on his bag....the winner in 2009 and a master of this course..
They are the last pair off at 2.40..
What of the 3 Aussie's Scott, Day (230pm) and Leishman (220pm) trying to exorcise the demons of Greg Norman and his 6 shot meltdown in 1996.. They may have numbers on their side, but this is not a team game...
220pm...Matt Kuchar, the smiling assassin, the games nicest guys', and one of it's most ruthless competitors
210pm Little Tim Clark who lives in North Carolina but hails from Soth Africa, injured so much recently but has been 2nd here before, and with his long handled putter working it's magic this week, this sublime little ball striker could steal the show..but he is paired with Tiger, who right or wrong will be the show.
200pm... Steve Stricker, now the veteran pro with the gold plated short game, especially on the greens will need a career round to get there at -2 as will one of the games colourful young guns Rickie Fowler
150pm... the always fit Berhard Langer, a two time winner now dominating the Senior circuit is back in the top 10 this time with Lee Westwood who I think really let himself down with that 73 yesterday when he just couldn't make a birdie (all pars) on the back nine. These guys will need a 66 to give themselves a chance..
Around 750pm tonight, Bubba Watson will be in the Butler Cabin putting the Green Jacket, that looks so cheap but is worth a lifetime, one one of these guys.
Before that let's enjoy the wild ride that is the back nine at Augusta on Sunday..
