Guess the practice rounds have payed off..

Brandt played 40-50 practice rounds at Augusta

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Brandt Snedeker nearly wore out his welcome at Augusta National.

Once invites for the Masters go out, players are allowed to play as many practice rounds as they want -- and Snedeker took full advantage before his debut in 2004.



''I was out of school, had not turned pro yet,'' he said. ''They almost changed the rule the next year because of me, because I was down here every day. I wore it out. I thought, 'How many times can I have a membership at Augusta National for four months?'''

All those rounds are paying off. In only his second trip to the Masters, Snedeker is in contention for lifetime privileges. After a 2-under 70 Saturday, he is two strokes behind leader Trevor Immelman and will play in the final group today.

''It kind of feels more like a home event for me,'' Snedeker said. ''I feel like a lot of the guys in the crowd are cheering me on, and it's a good feeling.''

they are at AMEN corner now so the pressure is on and you know the leaders heard the roar. I sill like Tiger and have since day 1 for this one. Things could get crazy here on the back.

Prediction: Tiger -8 in a playoff

I think Immelman's still got too big a lead to choke it away, but he's trying really hard to take the gas pipe right now. It's like he finally looked up and saw a scoreboard on the 16th tee or something. His approaches at 16 and 17 have gone to the worst possible places.

Between the Sunday pins and the wind that is supposed to blow, 74 might not even be a bad number tomorrow. If the low round today was 68 on greens that were a little more receptive, I don't think there will be a lot of low numbers on a day with dried out greens and the wind blowing 20 mph.

This turned out to be more true than I imagined. Consider that Tiger shot 72 yet still managed to pass all but one guy.

what are the chances of a ball landing in that?

That was an absolute crater too. Somebody should be shot for leaving that in the middle of the 18th fairway at a major championship. That could have cost someone a lot of money.

Great shot by Immelman to get that within 20 feet under that pressure from that lie.

If Immelman"s short game regularly looked like it did this week, he'd be competing with Tiger more regularly. Dude is a beautiful swinger.

but his typically poor short game picked him up like it normally doesn't

congrats to Immelman. Mighty big day for him and South Africa.

I was halfway right. I took the field against Tiger and won. I now fully expect a Tiger onslaught like we've never seen. His only pressure is to win all four grand slams in the same season. Now he has no pressure and he can just dominate.
