My impression also and not just due to the club in the lake at Trump's place. He seemed to get LESS tight recently but still not loose. He did break up with the hot German Volleyball girl and was made to pay (IIRC) $22 Million to a former promoter(?), manager(?) something like that....maybe it was $7 Million...whatever, I was very surprised he did not seem like himself prior to here and here he's just EVEN thru 24 holes....I thought you Sooners and 'Horns had reached some sorta truce and...were friends now, liked one another now.
hno:
Never did like Woods. But definitely can follow Spieth.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jordan Spieth set a 36-hole scoring record at the Masters on Friday.
The 21-year-old Texan turned in another dazzling round, going to the weekend with a 14-under 130 total. That broke the record of 131, set by Raymond Floyd in 1976.
Spieth shot a 6-under 66 in the second round, essentially blowing away everyone in the field except Charley Hoffman. He was four strokes behind and still on the course, turning in the sort of performance that would normally be good enough for the lead.
Not the way Spieth was playing. He had 15 birdies and only one bogey through the first two days.
“It’s special to be in the tournament,” he said, “let alone out front.”
Spieth said his biggest obstacle the next two days will be scoreboard watching.
He said he just needs “to keep my head down, just need to set a goal for myself. Obviously Charley’s playing great, and we may be pretty close up there, and who knows what can happen on the weekend here.
“I’m sure they don’t like seeing really low scores so they might speed the greens up tomorrow.”
Ernie Els, at 139, was the only other player with a single-digit deficit when Spieth finished his round. Everyone else was at least 10 shots behind.

Thanks for the correction to my erroneous post above yours arnies. Appropriately, for this thread, distraction led to my mispost as I was distracted having bet Rory McIlroy to beat Mickelson Rd.2 matchup and Rory is failing massively. Watching Lefty I thought he looked MORE out of sorts of late than Lefty but ascertained THAT incorrectly.
I know you're a big Tiger fan so I want your perspective on something. What'd you think of Tiger whining about the soft conditions yesterday and basically begging Augusta National to dry out the course to make it faster in hopes it would give him a chance at a comeback. I thought it was a joke personally and I'm not a so called Tiger hater.
