Who will be this years Master? INTRAMURAL UPDATE
By Andy McLachlan

The 2007 Masters is finally in full swing. The
PGA tour for 2007 began when 96 PGA profes
sionals teed off at Augusta National on Thursday.
All eyes will be on a few golfers in particular, but
a surprise winner could very well steal the story
in Augusta, Georgia.
The one golfer that sticks out above the rest is
golf phenom Tiger Woods. The 31-year-old has
put up extraordinary numbers over the past
decade. At this point in his career, most see him
as the best ever in his sport. Woods has won the
last two majors and a total of four Masters in his
career. Even though Woods shot one over par the
first day at Augusta and did not win the Masters
last year, he is still easily the favorite to win it this
year.
Last year's winner, Phil Mickelson, had a rough
first day, shooting four over par. Even though he
is the defending champion, he knows there is a
certain golfer named Tiger Woods that he needs

to keep his eye on.
"I think it's a fun challenge to beat him. He's Mickelson celebrates after last year's Masters victory
most likely the best player the game has ever
seen," said Mickelson
Mickelson has been on fire of late, winning
three majors over the past three years. Even with
playing some of the best golf of his career, he
knows he is not at Tiger's level.
"If I have a great rest of my career, and I go out
and win twenty more tournaments and seven
more majors to get to fifty wins and ten majors,
which would be an awesome career, I still won't
get to where he's at today. -
The leaders after day one were Justin Rose
Previous Masters winners:
2006 - Phil Mickelson
2005 - Tiger Woods
2004 - Phil Mickelson
2003 - Mike Weir
2002 - Tiger Woods
Itax Woods
IMO - Vijay Singh
from South Africa and Brett Wetterich from
Florida. Rose. who led early at the 2004 Masters,
will try his hest to hold onto the lead that slipped
away from him three years ago. This is
Wetterich's first time at the top of a major leader
hoard.
Even though Mickelson and Woods have won
the last three Masters. a unknown could end that
trend this year. Coverage of the Masters will be
shown on CBS starting Saturday at 3:3opm and
the final round will be shown on Sunday at 2:30
