WOODS THINKING BIG DESPITE TOUGH START
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM Chief of Correspondents

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods was grim-faced as he walked out of the scoring trailer Friday afternoon.

Saturday's forecast

Mostly sunny
Temp: 76 high/51 low
Sun and a few passing clouds. Winds from the WNW at 10 to 20 mph.

A bogey at the 18th hole, for the second day in a row no less, will do that to the No. 1 player in the world.

As frustrated as he was, though, Woods waited patiently for ESPN to cue the requisite live shot and then walked over, hand on hip, to talk to 15 reporters in the pen.

The questions, to be fair, were less than scintillating. Woods was tight-lipped, as well.

Tough day at the office, Woods was asked to start the proceedings. "Yeah," came the succinct response.

And the problem? "Conditions were tough. It was just tough all around."

Was the wind difficult? "You might say so." The follow-up got a positively garrulous answer, though.

"I thought it was pretty much difficult all the way around," Woods said. "Not only is it blowing, but it's also changing whether it's in or down, so you can go through pretty much a three-club swing."

Stat of the day

	Anthony Kim poured in 11 birdies in the second round, besting Nick Price's 10 (1986, third round, 63) for the most in one round at the Masters. His round included four straight birdies on two occasions (Nos. 5-8 and Nos. 12-15).
