How many strokes have the recent tree additions added to the leaders scores thus far?

I don't know. Tiger and Appleby have hit 22 of 42 fairways each. The number is between zero and twenty. So if each miss is a half stroke I'll ventutre five.

About 6 under which is about right for these guys.  The back nine is boring compared to most years.  Let's call this the "chip out" Masters.  I have never seen so may chip outs in my 35 years of watching the Masters.

Chip outs? Where? Tiger's second at 17 was very exciting to see if he could hit a high slice off the hardpan around/over the trees.  Sure, I'd rather see fewer trees, especially on 15 and 17, but there definitely has been excitement.  I will say that 15 and 17 are actually very average holes except for the greens.  17 in particular looks like a muny hole with those awful greenside bunkers and nasty pine trees.  Pretty fun tournament to watch, though.

fyi...#'s 7, 11 and 17 have a cummulative historical average of .6 strokes over par per round (all three combined)...that means 1.8 strokes over par thru three rounds.    This year they are just over 1 stroke over par per round cumulatively,,,that means 3 strokes over per three rounds...that means 1.2 strokes more difficult in total thru three rounds versus the lifetime averages.

I don't think you can look at previous years in guessing an impact because the wind and cold is so different. The normal wind is not 20+ MPH out of the Northwest.

Who cares? A better question would be how many risk / reward decisions and options have been eliminated...

Yeah boy.  Those trees on 18 really hampered Tiger's pityful 2nd shot Saturday!
