We're at the halfway mark of the 74th Masters. With 36 holes in the books, we present, for your inspection, the "Studs and Duds" of this week at Augusta National.

 

THE STUDS:

Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter: These stalwarts of the European Ryder Cup team hold the 36-hole lead and are attempting to bring Europe its first Masters champion since Nick Faldo. They're the only players to break 70 the first two rounds, and that puts them at the head of the studs.

K.J. Choi: Tied with Woods at 138, and had the task of playing with el Tigre. Choi has been a cool customer the first two days.

Ricky Barnes: The consummate young stud is playing in his first Masters as a pro. He was here as an amateur though, and he's ready to make some noise over the weekend.

Anthony Kim: Kept the momentum from his win in Houston last week, and plays some exciting golf. He's erratic, but fun to watch.

Y.E. Yang: The Tiger Killer from the PGA is back again, finally. He's flying under the radar, one shot behind Woods and the guys at 6-under.

Tom Watson and Freddie Couples: You gotta give the old guys credit. They didn't entirely disappear on Friday, and it will be interesting if they can survive a course that is getting tougher by the hour. Hats off to the senior citizens.
