AUGUSTA, Ga. — For the second straight year, I have to thank the folks at Augusta National for making me feel right at home.

If you recall, last year's third round was played in a very northwestern North Dakota 40-degree weather. This year, not to be outdone, the good folks here in Georgia conjured up some fantastic 25 mile per hour winds. Again, it felt a little like watching golf at Souris Valley in Minot and not southern Georgia. I am sure that resident SVGC professional Steve Kottsick could have helped these guys in how to manage the wind.

A lot was made about the weather all week here. First, it was too wet to score, the ball wasn't running in the fairways enough. Then, when the sun came out — and it really came out, look at my burnt neck when I get back — it was too dry. The greens are too slick and fast to score. Then, when we had a pure downpour on Saturday, yep, too wet again. Too wet and too cold everywhere to score.
