I would say more that Brooks plays with a chip on his shoulder. Confident. Definitely not arrogant.
Brooks always had swag. But injuries really took a toll on him. His game didn’t match his swag. There is a long list of good players that are held back due to injuries

Hopefully he’s healthy. Would be awesome for a Brooks/Rahm final pairing.

Another weather prediction fail. LOL!
No, was actually correct, because a host of storms simply formed in and around Augusta after play was stopped for the second time and those would've been impossible to predict. I'm sure the falling trees spooked the management too.

Made up drama by the pro PGA tour media. It’s a non issue and let’s move on. It’s being reported as if Brooks cheated.
It’s not made up because it was caught on video. It is a rule. Brooks didn’t cheat but he could’ve been assessed the penalty.

Caddies have always held out fingers to each other (and the media) to tell everyone what club their player was hitting. At least that's what I've always heard.

You just not supposed to ask IIRC.

Media yes but playing partners in a competitive round?

Tiger is frustrating me. Hes playing a higher spin balata ball and hes flying everything short of the flag. If you playing a balata your 1st bounce has to be on the stick not 10 yds short. Hes sacrificing distance off the tee for spin at least hit the approach shot right. Hes not mentally there you can see it in his face. Leg must be giving him pain. Leaving an uphill birdie short on wet green cant happen. Make a run at it

Balata? Really? Who still makes those? I thought they stopped making them 25 years ago.

True got caught up in Tiger showing Rory the Maxfli Balata in practice round. Thought he was playing. I used to play the Maxfli Balata. They were expensive, cut the **** out if them and left golf ball cover in the grooves of my clubs every swing

They are still put there for the taking though

Wonder if JT takes a bogey on 18 to keep Tiger in tourney. Check that JT just hooked drive on 17 going to have to scramble for par on 17

They better get some 3rd round in today and not shut down until tomorrow, would be very unfair to not put all golfers in the elements

Tiger completely falling apart and limping a lot. No way he comes back tomorrow for Round 4.

Extreme cold, wind and rain at the Masters the past few hours. Large pools of water on the greens as they just suspended play for the remainder of the day.

Starting to look like Match Play between Koepka and Rahm.

A family member lives in the same neighborhood in Scottsdale near Rahm and Bones MaKay. Rahm is an ASU grad and is well liked in the local area. I’m rooting for him.

If I wasn't within 5 strokes of the lead I might be getting a "back injury" and have to with draw from this freezing rain fest. Especially if I was a LIV guy and getting the snub.

I kinda like him too but his temper is off putting. Relax bro you're worth $100M and play golf for a living.

What does he have to prove anymore? He made the cut to continue the streak. He is obviously in a tremendous amount of pain. He still has 28 holes to play. No one would blame him.

My god. You just hate the LIV players!
When you play in a competitive round, do you help the guys in your group to beat you? Why do they have this rule if they don’t want to enforce it? I don’t hate anyone for playing golf.

No rain this morning but 44F and 14-18 mph winds. 2” of rain fell in the past 24 hours. Tough conditions for everyone.

Rahm birdies early and reduces the deficit from 4 strokes to 2.
