Moving Day has arrived at Augusta National Golf Club.

The third round gets that nickname because it’s traditionally when players make their move up the leaderboard.

Walter from Aiken wants to know my predictions. Here’s how I see Moving Day shaping up, if the rain doesn’t prevent play:

Trevor Immelman will struggle to hold onto the lead.

Brandt Snedeker will continue his solid play. Did you see that chip-in for birdie on the sixth green Friday? Wow.

Steve Flesch will remember he’s Steve Flesch. Doesn’t he know “short hitters” can’t win here?

Ian Poulter and Stephen Ames will remember the Masters is a major and they don’t play well in the big events.

Paul Casey will continue playing well. Remember, he’s been done in by poor opening rounds. Now he’s in position to make a move.

Tiger Woods will make a run up the leaderboard on the front nine, but he’ll find the water at Amen Corner.

That leaves Phil Mickelson, who will be at the top of the leaderboard when the day is done. Lefty has the experience and is playing well.

Plus, it’s an even year.

Tiger Woods’ quest for the Grand Slam is off to a good start.

The world’s No. 1 golfer has parred the first hole of the Masters Tournament today. Mother Nature might be the only thing that can stop him from winning; the opening round at Augusta National Golf Club was delayed today by an hour because of heavy fog.

No less of an authority than four-time winner Arnold Palmer expects this to be a special Masters. The King says the strength of the field and the difficulty of Augusta National should make for a good combination.

When Arnold talks, I listen.

Woods, of course, is the big favorite to win this week. I’m not going far out on the branch to say that I agree with that prognostication.

But I do think that some of the media and the general public have fallen prey to believing that Tiger is unbeatable. There are far too many factors involved in a golf tournament to say that one person is going to win every time out.

Tiger has been on top of his game since last summer. He’s only lost twice, which is impressive. But I had to laugh when some folks suggested he could go through the whole year unbeaten.

Now that he can’t do that (he lost last month at Doral), the focus has shifted to Tiger winning the Grand Slam. His confidence is high, and he hasn’t shied away from saying he can do it.

If it was that easy, Arnold or Jack Nicklaus would have done it. Both came close.

Arnold won the Masters and U.S. Open in 1960, then fell short at the British Open by one shot. Nicklaus took the first two legs in 1972, then lost to Lee Trevino by a single stroke at Muirfield.

And that’s where Tiger will fall short.

I see Woods slipping on the green jacket Sunday night, then two months later winning the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines (a track he has dominated more than Augusta National).

But the British Open is a different animal. The weather is unpredictable. Stray shots can wind up in funny places.

I hope he makes a run at it. His Tiger Slam of 2000-01 generated enormous interest in golf, and that’s good.

But this year, I think Tiger will have to settle for a couple more majors and getting closer to Nicklaus’ all-time record.
