You had a feeling it would be a special day when Rae's Creek froze.

Former Chairman Hootie Johnson called Martha Burk and told her to knit him a green parka.

And perhaps the biggest joke of all - Tiger Woods made a brilliant late charge to get into Sunday's final group.

He bogeyed the last two holes.

Second-round co-leaders Brett Wetterich and Tim Clark hit reverse so fast Saturday, they needed warning beeps and a pair of illuminated white tail lights. The thought of them winning was foregone after five holes. Wetterich stumbled to an 83 and was tied for 23rd. Clark coughed up an 80 but only fell to eighth.

The 2006 U.S. Open champion, Geoff Ogilvy, went from a tie for eighth after the second round to 26th Saturday with five bogeys, a double bogey and a quadruple bogey 9 on the par-5 15th when he found the water twice.

The only man to shoot under-par in the third round was Retief Goosen, who got into the clubhouse Saturday with a 70 before the conditions got Ric Flair nasty.

On the 10th anniversary of Tiger Woods' first pulse-quickening, record-setting, golf-club selling victory at the Masters, Augusta National has turned its little "too-nament" into a reason to take up tennis.

They should give out a red cross and white flag with the winner's green jacket this year.
