Try to watch every year. First time I've seen it. One of the major sporting events that never disappoints.

I've watched at least part of every Masters since the mid 70s.. There is nothing quite like it in sports. To see these great golfers play the exact same course (albeit much longer holes) every year just like the old time greats is really special. Too bad the weather is awful this year, it really detracts from the event and the beauty of the course.

They said that they have some kind of vacuum system under all 18 greens, that can suck up standing water, I am assuming this is installed underground, unless they are talking about a piece of equipment that sucks up the water, but I think it is underground. Just too much damn rain this year, sucks for visitors to be out in the cold rain. Rahm looks like he is on fire.

Thanks for reminding me. I was listening to the Tigers while playing on the net. I'd rather watch the final round of the masters.

Either way, I love the sound of a baseball game or golf on Sunday tv. Especially a major.
