I have just spent an interesting hour on the driving range at Augusta while the leaders warm up for the third round of the Masters.

The cushioned seats behind the players are full of patrons and every player received a round of applause as they began there warm up. Poulter, Choi, Mickelson and Kim all received a warm welcome but when Tiger Woods arrived there was silence. While there have been no negative comments from the crowds this week, the lack of reception emphasises the point that the crowds really don't know how to react to Tiger this week.

Meanwhile Anthony Kim looked to be hitting it absolutely beautifully, while Phil Mickelson was making a couple of tweaks with coach Butch Harmon. It is clear that Fred Couples is liked by the players as much as the fans. Every player that entered the range area shared a laugh and a joke with him. Even Tiger made time for a chat and a smile. It is promising to be a thrilling day of golf.
