OT: The Masters

[elocomotive]

Nice pic, Biz.

By the way, I heard today that the camera tower was partly in Bubba's way on that now famous hook shot from the woods. He didn't ask them to move it because he didn't want to inconvenience anyone. What a gentleman...or a fool...or both! Either way, a very worth champ.

Fantastic Masters tournament. So many big names at the top. So many spectacular shots (Oosty's double eagle, Bubba's shot from the woods to essentially win it). So much close competition and guys changing position on the final back 9. Really a treat.

Gotta play it as it lies, camera tower or not.

He should have bounced it off the camera tower.

Has Happy Gilmore taught him nothing!!!!

Pulling for Bubba Watson this weekend.

Wanted to bump this thread. Second post i had in this one, and Bubba pulls off the dramatic win. What a back 9 that guy had!!! One of the best Masters of all time, imo. The double eagle by Louie was also worth tuning in for.

Congrats Bubba, way to keep the jacket in the country

Hard to believe this was 30 years ago...

Reporter: Hey Ernie, how did you make a 10 on the opening hole at Augusta?
Ernie: I missed my putt for a 9.

Not pleasant to watch.

If I was Ernie, I'd put down a snowman on my scorecard and see if anybody notices.

Is Gary McCord still banned from the Masters for his 'bikini-waxed greens' comment?

Apparently Ernie did get a 9 and not a 10. I'd still put down an 8 if it was me.

You mark that frame an 8, and you are entering a world of pain, Ernie!

Hahaha. Very Yogi.

Spieth and McIlroy on Saturday... should be an interesting pairing.

Would love for this to be a Nicklaus - Watson type of rivalry. On that note, farewell to Tom Watson, how about only missing the cut by two strokes at age 66, as one of the patrons said earlier today, thanks Tom!

I remember chipping in the yard as a kid with one ball being Nicklaus and one ball being Watson.

Yeah, seems to have the makings. You don't realize how rare these big pairings are on the weekend though. Hope they are still together on Sunday, but history is generally against it.

Who you got winning it, Dash?

I think I gotta go with Spieth, he's about as exciting as vanilla ice cream, but unflappable under pressure.

A little intrigue though, Spieth saying he is a little intimidated playing with Rory. Apparently McIlroy is 7-3-2 in head-to-head pairings with Spieth.

Should I start a thread entitled...

"Just give Rory the Green Jacket"
