US Masters Golf - Review of Day 3
13/04/08 09:51 Filed in: Sports Betting
Day 3 saw the rain that was promised. Luckily, this only really affected the mornings play and resulted in nice soft greens for the afternoon players, and leaders. Scoring conditions were great and anticipation of a few great rounds was strife.
Overnight leader, South African Trevor Immelman was last out, so was one of those who benefited from the softer greens, allowing him more control over his approach shots. Again, he followed up his two 68s with a fantastic 69 to be eleven under par, and the clear leader from Brandt Snedeker by two shots who shot a two under par 70 leaving him on nine under par.
So, how are the British contingent doing after the third round at the Masters? Well, The leading British player is now Paul Casey who carded a great 69 to be four shots off the lead and in fourth place at seven under par. Ian Poulter is next, on two under. Poulter had a nightmare round of 75 that included two shanked approach iron shots on the 9th and 10th holes. So, even the pro's get the dreaded shanking disease every now and then. On 10th, he even shanked what appeared to be quite a long iron. This took the toll on Ian's round and he ended up with a very disappointing three over par round of 75, leaving him on two under after staring the day on five under par. Lee Westwood also had an indifferent round, shooting a one over par 73 to end the day on one under par. Justin Rose is well out of it after another bad round.
So, what about Tiger Woods? Well, he shot what was one of the best scores of the day, 68, four under for the day and five under for the championship. Is he too far back now as he is six shots off the lead? He sure does have a hard challenge ahead of him for him to achieve another green jacket. However, let's not forget the 1996 Masters where Greg Norman was six shots ahead of Nick Faldo, with Nick Faldo eventually winning, thanks to Norman having a nightmare round.
So, I am sure it is not too late for a final round wager, again, we recommend Bet365 for your US Masters Bet.
Come on Tiger! My money is on you!
