The Masters - 2026

[leftwinger]

No golfer should be able to play Augusta that easily.

They will change the setup. For certain on Sunday. Even Par will be difficult for the best.

Early guys on SUN may get high 60s to put heat on. It always seems to go that way. I used to watch a lot. But not much last 8 years but last year I tuned in late SAT SUN.

I did what MM mentioned. Amazon Prime hole#12 yesterday.

Today I will look at the back 9 -15 16 coverage. Just turned it on. Is it today or yesterday? Commercial right away? Guess ill find out. Need a bloody rol-aids in here!

Remember dirty CBS no TV till 3PM back 9 only after an hour of BS in Butler Cabin. What a crock.

US open was a favorite. You would get hole#1 to #18 everyday on TV. Leader group for certain.

Tiger prevailed against lesser competition.

Oooookaaaayyy

OK I'll try it:

Keegan Bradley has more walkup drama prep than a Runaway Bride.

 

[leftwinger]

Ridiculous talk a thos 9-wood BS. The ball size does not change.

Only importance is the degrees loft of the clubface IMVHO.

A 3-wood used to be ~23degrees, then a 23Degree or 21degree hybrid. A 7-wood or 9-wood is just a loft number end result.

I hope Rory wins back to back but no lead is safe with him in these Majors. Scottie is starting out hot in the final round as he usually does, that’s why he is the best in the world, but barring a collapse from Rory is likely too far back. Can only watch the leaderboard and am hoping to see the leaders on the back nine if home in time

Sorta see why they call it "Moving Day". Field is narrowed after the cut. Earlier tee times making a move up the leaderboard. Reed and Burns birdie the 1st hole, Rory bogeys it. 2 shot swing on the first hole.

So. 28 two-somes go off today?

Can groups 1-10 make it around inside 4 hours (5 hours!) like weekday players walking public courses?

Or are they all 6 hour rounds? UGH! The 6-hour round weekends killed golf for me. 3 groups backed up at hard CA holes. Slow play UGH.

I didn't note the time the final pairing started.

LIV fans gotta be a little disappointed right now. Looks like Tyrrell Hatton is carrying the banner this weekend and he is T21st right now.

 

[leftwinger]

Lowry again. Used to be a left to right guy (fader) like Jack. He's had some chances other years. Never heard of Cameon Young or Li. Where's Matsuyama?

Told you got out of it for quite a few years.

I think leaders were pla new for 2:35EDT? Is that about right?

 

[bdtex]

Never heard of Cameon Young

He won The Players Championship 3 weeks ago.

 

[MarathonMike]

Well that didn't take long! Rory's head is spinning right now. Cam Young by 1.

You called it yesterday. Can't hit enough fairway or something? Maybe BDTEX

 

[odanny]

Rory was fortunate to get the birdie at 14, I’m really liking Schefler’s chances now, not sure Young can keep it up tomorrow but Scottie is made for this.

Driver is still wild but several really bad iron shots. He does have the lead back by one.

 

[Blaster]

 

[bdtex]

5 players with early tee times shot really low scores but were too far behind to get into contention.

Rollercoaster leaderboard and momentum changes up until about the last pairing after the 13th hole today. Rory was pretty steady and the chasers started running out of steam.
