US Masters Golf - Review of Day 2
12/04/08 08:23 Filed in: Sports Betting
Day 2 at Augusta was another beautiful day, and the golf was on a par with the weather. Day one joint leader Trevor Immelman was out early with the other joint leader, Justin Rose, out last, just behind Tiger Woods.
Trevor Immelman was showing the same form as he showed on day one. He carded 5 birdies and one bogey to card a second round of 68, to take the outright lead at 8 under par.
Second place is held by American Brandt Snedeker who shot a four under par 78 to go into second place on 7 under par.
It was a mixed day for the British players at Augusta. In true "Justin Rose" style, he crumbled and surely now his chances of winning are over after carding a six over par 78. He was not doing that bad until a disaster on the par 5 15th saw him waste a great drive to hit is third shot into the water at the front of the green and then his next chip took a flyer, and nearly went into the water over the back of the 15th green. He ended up with a triple bogey 8 on 15, which undid a lot of the good work he had done on the first day to take the joint lead on 4 under par.
Ian Poulter on the other hand had a great round of 69, to beat his opening round of 70 to end on five under and in joint third place. He is well in the race and hopefully he can keep his nerve to ensure a good finish, who knows, he may even win it.
What about the Masters and bookies favourite, Tiger Woods? Well, it just was not happening again for Tiger. My large bet I placed on Tiger with Bet365 is not looking very good right now. He had a mixed round, but finished with a birdie on 17 to be at one under for the championship and you have to think he is still in it but he needs a brilliant day on Saturday to be in with a chance on Sunday.
The weather forecast for Saturday is heavy rain and possible thunderstorms so I guess the tee times are critical. Those who avoid the weather will surely card better scores.
Looking forward to todays Golf and there will be another report after day three.
