Every year we miss some the best golf ever played due to Augusta National and CBS acting like some spoiled debutante. Lighten up guys we know you are special you dont have to prove it to us.

Every year they screw up the NCAA tournament as well by staying on some blowout and missing something special, so it's to be expected.

You would think at least the Golf Channel would show something, but I'm sure it's not in the contract.

Don't blame CBS, blame the Masters. They only allow so much coverage. I don't watch it but they used to allow coverage of the last 9 holes. Don't know if it is still true or not.

True it is mostly Augusta that limits the broadcast, but If CBS rally wanted to show more coverage, they could negotiate it with Augusta National. But instead they just act happy to take what they can get.

World, they finished 3rd round this morning. Eldrick hit 7 birdies in a row.

So, since it rained out earlier would have been nice to watch the 3rd round this morning.

If anyone has the High-Def package on Directv, they were showing it at 11:00 yesterday morning. The channel was in the 70's. Not sure how they are doing it. It sure seems like they are missing the boat on this coverage.

I think in all honesty, one can only really blame the weather for not being able to see Tiger's charge. If the weather wasn't so horrendous, We would have been watching the end of round 3 all afternoon yesterday.
