Who's Afraid of Tiger Woods?

Is Trevor Immelman? Brandt Snedeker? Steve Flesch? Paul Casey?

We'll find out on Sunday. Here's the Masters leaderboard after three rounds:

Trevor Immelman, 205  
Brandt Snedeker, 207  
Steve Flesch, 208  
Paul Casey, 209  
Tiger Woods, 211  
Stewart Cink, 212
A whole bunch of guys, 214

Among the crowd at 214 is Phil Mickelson, who should be tossing and turning all night dreaming of what might have been. Lefty had it to 6-under early in the round, but dropped to 3-under by the middle. He got back to 4-under with a birdie at No. 14. Then Phil missed a short birdie putt at No. 15 (probably around four feet) and butchered No. 16. Double bogey. Back to 2-under. Out of it.

Tiger Woods was (no surprise) doing the opposite. Tiger shot 68 Saturday, tied for best round of the day (with Zach Johnson and Boo Weekley, among those at 214).

So Tiger is at 5-under, six shots behind Immelman. Is that too far back? Maybe. But if Woods shoots 68 again tomorrow, and Immelman shoots 74 ... shooting 74 wouldn't be considered a meltdown. Two-over par? That's easy to do at Augusta.

I'm not saying that's what Immelman is going to do, just that Tiger's position isn't dire. Plus, he has only four players ahead of him, which in some respects is more important than the number of strokes by which he trails.

I don't think Woods will pull it out, but of course, it won't be a surprise to anyone if he does.

I'd like to see Paul Casey make a run tomorrow.
