Who will crack first?

Will it be Trevor Immelman? Will he find that Saturday pressure combined with a rain delay is nothing compared to Sunday at the masters?

Will it be Brandt Snedeker, last year's Rookie of the Year who showed himself and us that he can reel off three straight bogeys and then come back with two in a row and finish off 18 with another?

That was an amazing back nine he had yesterday.

But will the bubble finally burst for Snedeker today? How well did he sleep last night?



Can we really expect Steve Flesch to hold together for a final 18 holes and take the Green Jacket? 4 birdies and one bogey but plenty of tense recovery shots marked Steve's third round.

What about Paul Casey? He's been a stand-out overseas, a superb Ryder Cup player, was T10 at the Masters and U.S. Open last year and won the European Order of Merit in 2006.

He knows about pressure. He recorded six birdies and three bogeys - another player who could take what Augusta threw at him yesterday and not break.

And then, of course, there's Tiger. Again yesterday, we saw some uncharacteristically bad approach shots and some narrow misses with the putter. Yet, Tiger put together his first bogey-free round yesterday.

That is something to build on in today's final round, to be sure.

Nobody broke under pressure yesterday. That surprised me, frankly.

Today is the real test, though. And, who knows, perhaps someone none of us expects will make the run up the leaderboard and burst through to the finish.

But you always have to factor in the course! Will Augusta prove even tougher than it was yesterday - after a 45 minute rain delay?

The course would bring Mr. Universe to his knees begging for mercy.

What a finish it's going to be.
