While the majority of the huge crowds at Augusta National went looking for Tiger, watched for Watson and Couples or cheered on Phil, Denmark's Søren Kjeldsen crept under The Masters Tournament radar to move into the top ten.
The Dane compiled two solid opening rounds of 70-71 to three under par heading into the weekend, five shots shots behind leaders Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood.
"I am very happy with that," said Kjeldsen. "I played some good golf today and had a special birdie on the fourth. That is the longest par three on the course and should be the most difficult on the course but I birdied it yesterday and in the second round last year so I have had three in a row there.
"I am playing well but to be honest, I am not even going to speculate about what I want to happen over the weekend. It so exhausting playing this golf course that all I want to do is go back to our house and relax for the rest of the night.
"We have a great chef with us this week, so I am going to go back and have a nice meal cooked for me and take it easy for the rest of the rest of the night before coming back and doing it all again tomorrow."
