2018 Masters Golf

Tell me when he wins 18 Majors.

I'll give you that Jack is probably the greatest golfer of all time. But there's not a golfer that walked this earth that could've beat Tiger Woods in the early 2000's

I generally agree with this. Jack had the better long-term career and is golf's greatest champion. For absolute peak play, nobody was better than Tiger Woods 15 years ago. As great and deep as the field is today, Woods in his prime would take every one of them out.

I wasn’t overly impressed with Rory’s post round comments.
Saying that all the pressure was on Reed and that Rory was just going to try and spoil the party. Not quite buying that Rory.

When told about that in his presser, Reed I believe was justified by saying he doesn’t see it that way, and bringing up Rory’s failed finishing off his lead at Augusta a few years back, and the fact that he is going for the grand slam.

I like Rory and I’m not the biggest Reed fan, but I gotta call this the way I saw it.

Are we really going to have yet another Jack/Tiger pissing contest? Who cares. There's nothing exciting about rooting for Goliath. That's why Furyk is my favorite player. He was in the world one season recently and he didn't eagle a single par 5. He didn't win a tournament either unfortunately but top 5 in fed ex without single eagle on a par 5? That should be impossible on today's tour.

As always a must watch event. Especially on Sunday.
Will Reed run away with it?

 

[Dude]

Rory and Ricky close and a bunch of guys trailing by five. Anything can happen.

These are two guys who really dislike each other. Neither of them were very complimentary of the other guys play. Who cares though. All the fake bff praise that they usually shower each other with after rounds got old a long time ago. I'm not a fan of those anonymous surveys they have for the PGA players but the tone of them is a hell of a lot different than what you hear when there's a mic in their face.

Had not checked the board, it is:
Reed -14
McIlroy -11
Fowler -9
Rahm -8
Stenson -7
Fleetwood, Watson, Leishman -6
Thomas, Spieth -5

Simpson 6 for the round after 10 and Mickelson shot 5 under today.

More support for Rory it seems at the first tee.....Reed ain't wearing his usual red/black combo Sunday clothes.

LOL. Putting it into the bunker on your eagle putt?

Bubba had to go into the fringe given the angle.

That's was a lot of fringe he had to get through.

 

[gohusk]

Well that's not the start he wanted. What an awful tee shot.

 

[Ricky Roma]

Could be just the start everybody else in contention wants to see from Reed/McIlroy....both look in a bit of trouble.

 

[gohusk]

Bubba had to go into the fringe given the angle.

I understand why he did it. Just a bad choice. That was way too much fringe to putt through. He got up and down so it doesn't matter I guess.

I couldn't tell from the TV angle....looked just like a bad putt rather than bad choice.

Edit: After seeing Rahm in nearly the same location, and hitting his putt in the opposite direction near to the hole, you're right.

Bad choice.

The line I saw looked like he needed at least 10 foot of fringe to get through. But I'm here typing and he's a 2 time winner so who am I to say I guess. Just going through that much fringe in one of the later groups in the 4th round seems like a really bad idea. Just don't know what kind of roll you're going to get.

 

[gohusk]

Rory's just feeling it. This is about to be tied after 2 holes.

Looks like I may have to settle for my Rory win bet
