Early Friday Thoughts...

The course doesn't appear to be playing much easier. Tiger was bitten by number 1...absolutely brutal hole this week...he's at 2-over for the tournament.

Vijay is off to a nice start. Paddy Harrington has raced through the opening stretch in 3-under. Wetterich continues to impress, completing the first 9 in 1-under to take the lead to 4-under and Jim Furyk has it at even through 10 holes today.

Greens in regulation is a huge stat at Augusta and Wetterich is currently hitting 70 percent of them. It's very impressive from a guy who has been on the rise the last few years. Colour me pessimistic, however, if he's got Vijay or Tiger all over him for the 36 weekend holes.

Of players who were on form coming in, Robert Allenby has to be on the list. After a 79 yesterday and a 42 on the first 9, however, Robert can pack his bags. Amazing how the majors can just wreck your game and in so doing wreck your confidence. It'll be interesting to see how Allenby bounces back from this terrible showing.

More to come...
