The Masters

[bdtex]

Unfortunately, I won't be catching too much of today's round on TV. It's a beautiful day here and I have things to do.

Is Jim Nantz still doing this. Gawd, they need to get rid of him.

 

[Marshal Matt Dillon]

Anyone see that putt by BD just now at 18?

Should be interesting tomorrow - BD vs. Rory. I’m not going to bet against BD.

They have Bryson on Golf Channel now at the practice range. He has FIVE BAGS OF BALLS that he is going to hit trying to fix his iron game. The guy is a machine.

I think Bryson will win tomorrow and I’ll certainly be pulling for him. No disrespect to McIlroy, but the pressure is more on him, I think. He’s never won the Masters and may want it perhaps too badly. Bryson is playing like a great white shark that smells blood.

Final score will be BD -15; McIlroy -14.

Regardless of what happens, having said that, BD will get to McIlroy tomorrow.

and that course was brutal today. He's a grinder and a great ball striker.

His driver has been his only problem

65 yr old Freddie Couples shoots a great 1 under round!

Sorry, but words like brutal, grinder, ball-striker, driver, and shoot have been banned by the PGA, for being too male, too sexist, not inclusive, and which could be disturbing to some of the players.

Also banned are phrases like: 'Nuts to you.'

 

[Marshal Matt Dillon]

DeChambeau will win his first Masters tomorrow. Many more majors to come, if he keeps playing like this.

Call me crazy, but it's a great setup for Corey Connors to sneak in and steal a green jacket! If those guys go into match play mode and and Connors shoots 66.......just sayin

That would be funny, for sure. Don’t think it will happen, but stranger things have taken place (like all those Greg Norman Sunday collapses/no-names holing out on him to win, or Scott Hoch missing a 12 inch putt to lose to Faldo).

I agree it would be a hoot.

Spieth was running away with the Masters until he made a 20 or something on number 12. Then Danny Willett (wtf?) snuck in and won.

I remember that.

Tiger was running away with it, about 10 years ago, hits the pin on (what was it, 15?) and lost to God knows who, after his ball went from hitting the pin to water. I believe it was Adam Scott.

 

[MarathonMike]

Oh yeah, that was the one with a playoff between Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera.

 

[Marshal Matt Dillon]

Make no mistake, BD will find a way to get it done tomorrow.

If he doesn’t, I will look like the class clown.

This bold prediction thing kind of Reminds me of the way I used to play golf. Went for every pin. Made lots of birdies, but also bogeys. Made an NCAA division I team at one point, after becoming a scratch player. Then, I got into booze, girls and got kicked off the team. Lol.

I’m predicting a BD win tomorrow, anyway and realize it’s a bold statement, but I’m going for this one. We’ll see.

Anyone ever been to this? How much is a ticket? Just wondering.

I heard someone say it was $1600 to watch a practice round on Tuesday, no idea what the tournament costs.

DeChambeau is a beast, he plays with emotion and the fans love him. The PGA needs him back on tour.

Watch out for Aberg today, he could sneak in, he was runner up last year to Scheffler and he is playing good golf, but right now Rory is playing the best in the field. Rory has a lot of pressure on him to join the Grand Slam club, at Augusta, and Bryson is playing with house money. Rory has folded under pressure before at Augusta, he had a 4 shot lead one year and shot an 80 on Sunday.

Ludvig, Rory, or Bryson wins today. My money is on Rory, literally.

Yea, great weather here too, I am taping it and will catch every second of it at some time today, it doesn't get any better than today for golf.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

And right out of the gate McIlroy double-bogies the first hole and loses his two-shot lead.

 

[August West]

I'd rather watch paint dry.

It`s a skill game. There`s more to golf than watching obese football players bumping bellies and tugging on each other`s shirts. I don`t watch either, but I loved to golf until shoulder surgery put an end to it.

 

[bdtex]

Seesaw front nine for the last pairing.

Seesaw front nine for the last pairing.

McElroy still holding the lead after 7 holes! Had a brilliant 'rough' shot from the trees to the green!
