Wow. Woodland was seven under through 10, then bogeyed 11 and doubled 12.

Assuming you are: in your follow through you should have the feeling of almost all your weight being on your lead foot (your right), and you should feel as though your left arm (your dominant side) is reaching forward to shake hands with someone just out of your grasp. If you prefer a tennis analogy, assume you are trying to hit a topspin forehand. Your weight must be forward and your dominant hand must overtake your weak hand Look at the seventh panel in this swing sequence: Now, consider the difference with this: Notice how open the face is here. In order to hit the ball straight this guy has to flip his hands at impact and hope for perfect timing. One way you can work on this is the Gary Player drill. Hit balls with a 7-iron and on your follow through take a step towards the target. Eventually you'll feel what it's like to finish with your weight in front and shake hands with the target. |

Freddie Couples is only four back. Given the resume of the guys in front of him, if he can shoot 68 tomorrow, he might win the damn thing.

Spieth has been amazing on and around the greens in his first Masters.

As odd as it sounds, if Augusta is unusually firm it lessens the disadvantage faced by n00bs. |

Hamas, thanks for the visual. That really helped me understand. I enjoy working on this stuff on the range. Can't wait to try it tomorrow morning.

Bubba has gotten all flippy with the putter.
He's got great hands, but he also uses small muscles to manipulate the club face. Gets tough under pressure. |

That's why he's going to fall apart in his early 40s. He'll lose that fine motor control and fade into Bolivian.

When you look at the guys with the most longevity (playing great in their 40s) for te most part, they don't have a lot of moving parts in their swing. |

Where Bubba will get in trouble is his putting. He's among the best on the tour in longer putting because that is a much more feel-driven stroke, but he's one of the worst players from 5-15 feet because he doesn't have enough time to square the face. He's also a pretty mediocre iron player if you look at his GIR %s based on distance. He's definitely unique. He probably has one of the five best sets of hands ever, so maybe he can stave that decline off longer than most. |

I don't think upright vs flat will bother longevity as much as other things. Usually the upright guys are better iron players and can struggle with driver, but he's unique in that regard. I'm taller so I'm more partial to upright swings tho so there is that |
