The Masters will get off to a rainy start tomorrow.

Looking like Morikawa might wear green tommorrow, and Tiger was only interested in making the cut.

Yikes, Tiger is leaking oil today just went to 8 over.

yet I saw him on TV as he is 15 shots behind. The Deep State MSM really sucketh.//

Yeah the coverage this year is annoying! Just a lot of yakking on three different channels until most of the rounds were half over.

Watching Player, Watson and Jack start the Masters with their drives might be the best part for me. 61 years since Jack won his first green jacket, understandably he showed it on his drive, he was tearing up before he hit it. GOAT.

Freaking Dechambeau, just stiffed it on number 10 from 209 yds with an 8 iron! Are you kidding me?

Are Raucous Crowds Are Becoming Too Much for the PGA TOUR?

Fans are part of what makes any sport great, especially golf. There’s nothing like hearing the crowd scream in unison when a big putt goes in but this year, the crowds are earning a bad reputation. There was already some displeasure voiced this year at the Waste Management Phoenix Open when the...

Whatever happened to polite golf crowds?

Whatever happened to polite golf crowds?

The Waste Management tournament is by far the worst. You don't see that usually at pga events, especially the majors. The Ryder Cup is also getting really bad.

DeChambeau chips in for birdie on the 18th hole.

I turned on Mute to avoid Leftist BS. Then placed a few small bets to make it wirth watching. I glanced in CBS 3ET onwards.

Chips in? How far out was he? Looked like 100 yd wedge shot?

Dude he could have made 7 on that hole! He was way into the trees and found a tiny opening and punched out to 80 yards. And casually spins it into the cup for a 3. That put him back in it, for sure. The pga misses that guy.

It would be understandable if these guys just try to hang on Sunday, not going for impossible shots to score low. Scheffler seems to be showing his mettle - best player in the world right now. This is truly the "Super Bowl" of golf. I love it.

Didn't get to watch any of it today but I followed the scores this afternoon. Lotta wide swings in the top-10 with the exception of Morikawa. He was steady.

The weather makes it seem more like the British Open on a less than fine day.

 

[MarathonMike]

Sunday will still be windy, but nothing like it has been. It should be a good day with a chance for someone to go low and take the jacket.

 

[odanny]

Wow, those greens are killing these guys. Look at Morikowa's end, he hit a thing of beauty to within a few feet on 16, only to miss the birdie putt. Then on 17 he had some winding, length of the green putt, and almost holed it, and then had a long uphill putt to save par. Two birdies he just missed. After shanking his drive on 18 he chipped to within a few feet to save his par.

Very interesting on those putting greens, these guys were all missing these short ones today.

I wouldn't be too hard on Tiger. He's only played one full 4 day tournament in 2 years.

I watched it online Friday afternoon. He was slightly favoring his bad leg by the end of the day. Just walking an 18 hole course is hard on him. If he's going to continue to play, it has to be limited events on short courses.

Interesting story on Live at the Masters this morning on the Swedish kid Ludwig Aberg. This kid was on the Ryder Cup team last year, the first one ever to be part of that team who had never played in a major before. And here he is in his first major and in 4th place on Sunday. He is a future star.

Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979, only first timer to win the Masters. A few others were 2nd or T-2, last one was Zalatoris in 2021.
