BTW, watching this round on ESPN, it looks to me like Tiger has lost some upper body mass; he's not as ripped as he was several years ago.

I know there are several folks here who will swear that he stopped using steroids (which they claimed he was on) but the reality is that the muscle development workouts and intensity that he subjected himself to were quite likely one of the causes of the decline in his golf game. Realizing that, he probably backed off from that regimen.....

Golf is a finesse sport, not a body building sport. Also notice that Mickelson has seemed to have trimmed down a lot..........And Couples too......

Weight lifting in golf is only for maintaining existing strength and muscle tone, not for building........

I'm watching on ESPN too. Such a beautiful venue. I've attended 11 Masters from the mid 70s to the mid- 1980s (seems like yesterday). The cameras do it justice in HiDef digital, much more than the old analogue tvs.

Just saw Sergio push one right on 13 through the pine trees from where Phil made that amazing shot a few years ago. Couples is spanking the ball (-2)playing with Dustin Johnson who plays a little bit too much right-to-left for this course.
