Tim Clark's par-3 victory at Augusta National on Wednesday is supposed to prevent his ultimate success on Sunday, but he is currently the leader in the clubhouse at the Masters as we approach 1 p.m. Central time of opening-round coverage.Forget what happens on Sunday. I think the better part of all the Clark talk is what nobody is saying yet.
Clark is the only guy who's beaten Tiger Woods in 2009.
Remember the Accenture Match Play World Golf Championships in late February?
Yes. That Tim Clark, who undressed Tiger under the ultimate pressures of playing the World's No. 1 in just the second round of that event.
With so many people picking Tiger to win this week — including Vegas, who has Woods tabbed at 9-5 odds of getting another Green Jacket — there was extreme oversight of his toughest opponent this season.
We'll see how Clark fares the rest of the weekend. For now, enjoy the internet coverage of Amen Corner and holes No. 15 & 16. ESPN starts to carry the Masters at 3 p.m. Central and will prominently feature Woods, who plays in the second to last group this afternoon.
