Who should play with Tiger at Masters?
For pure theater, why not make Y.E. Yang part of the threesome? He dealt Tiger his first loss in a major championship when Tiger took at least a share of the lead into the final round. Yang ended the streak at 14 with his last-round heorics in last year’s PGA Championship. If Yang wasn’t bothered then, he won’t be bothered at the 2010 Masters.
Or, seeing as it’s going to be crazy anyway, why not make it Phil Mickelson and Ryo Ishikawa? Mickelson and Tiger played together last year in the final round in front of fans 10 deep all around the course, so nothing would be different. Remember, no one is allowed inside ropes except players and caddies. As for Ryo, the guy is 18 but he has ice in his veins. And his hair is already spiked, so if he gets spooked and his hair jumps skyward, we won’t know.
