Masters Round 1 Recap

Yeah, I could've kept Trevor Immelman in fantasy this offseason, but he wasn't all that special last year, and had some mysterious growth on his ribs or something to put him on the shelf for the start of this year.  So I worked out a player-for-pick trade and got to hold on to David Toms.  Yea, howsthatworkinforya, moron?

And now Immelman is leading the Masters.  Sure, he probably won't be the guy to win it.  But still. 

Other thoughts:
  • Justin Rose leads early.  This is nothing new.  I read that he did two-a-days this offseason to prepare for the Masters.  Is the place *that* hard to walk?
  • Who is Brian Bateman and how is he playing, let alone contending, at the Masters?
  • Furyk: a workman-like 70.  I love it.
  • Goosen and Lefty check in with 71.  Yep yep.  But what is Mark O'Meara doing right there with them?  Has he done anything on the Nostalgia Tour?
  • We have a Sandy Lyle sighting.  I predict 78+ today.
  • The day I played Oakmont, one thing that was made perfectly clear was the pride the members had in their list of major champions.  John Mahaffey was kind of their black mark (at least 'til Angel last year).  I suppose the Green Jackets will frown more and more upon Mike Weir as time passes.  Just think - it could've been Len Mattiace.
  • That 74 from Todd Hamilton must've felt like 62.
  • Els & Paddy: 74.  Sigh.
  • Adam Scott: 75.  He'll either shoot 67 or 77 today. 
  • The Bitch shot 76.  He probably wore some putrid shade of green too. 
  • The $12 Man, Fred Couples, fires a 76.  Gotta go hard to claim that cuts made streak, Freddie.
  • Appleby: 76.  It's sad, really. 
  • My brilliant waiver pickups of the Hansen boys, Soren and Anders (no relation) looks sharp.  Anders fires a Jerry Rice while Soren fires Mean Joe and is +5 thru 6 today.
