Day #2 at the Masters

Will today be "moving day" for Tiger? Will Phil fulfill? Will Kenny Perry prove that experience counts more than RAW POWER? Will there be a "hanging Chad" holding on to the lead? Will Sergio finally break through? AND...WHICH GOLF NUT WILL WIN THE 2009 MASTERS CHALLENGE?

Wasn't yesterday something at the Masters? Coverage started online with the second shot on #11 by Amateur, Drew Kittleson...HE JARRED HIS SHOT FOR AN EAGLE! What a rush for that kid!

Now, this is just my opinion but Tiger doesn't seem to have "it." His putting isn't as sharp as usual and he seems to be having trouble managing his inner-self... which for Tiger is really weird??? At this writing I feel like this Masters now belongs to Kenny Perry. His consistent play, if it holds up under Sunday pressure (and it should) will make the difference.

There were three BIG moves in the Challenge yesterday. John Eichenlaub moved from -6 to -24 to go from 10th place to 1st. Ed Randolph moved from T23 to T4 on the strength of his Team's -17 day. And then, the sad story of Ben Kosiba. Ben went from T2 to MISSED CUT when Greg Norman and Stewart Cink sunk his chances by BOTH missing the cut, when they started the day in pretty solid position.

  Here are the Day #2 Standings for the Golf Nut 2009 Masters Challenge.
