I have never seen a 90 at the Masters. Not by a pro, amateur or by an older previous champion that I can remember. And he earned it. One triple bogie, four double bogies and seven bogies. No birdies, five pars. The PGA is a watered down product due to LIV IMO. Otherwise, Sheffler is right where he needs to be to win for the 3rd time in 4 years.

What's the big deal? I've often shot 90.

There were scores a lot higher than that until they started telling the older champions that it was time to hang it up. Billy Casper shot a 106 in a round 20 years ago.

Lucas Glover - who has been playing well - shot 78 w/ no birdies. Some days things just don't work right and there isn't much you can do.

I would break 80 easily on my way to 150

Hard Rock should allow me to bet $10 on Fred Couples making the cut, but they don't of course. Anyone want the action? I'll owe you, you owe me. I want 3-1.

I think he was 74 yrs old and I feel his pain.

I don't understand what happened to my gold game either. I used to hit my drives about 240 yds. Now I need hard ground and a lot of roll to get 200 yds. It must be lack of flexibility and rotation because I'm pretty sure I'm still as physically strong as a 120 lb Korean woman who can hit the ball 250 yds. Or maybe not.

Bernhard is one of the most amazing athletes we'll ever see. He's 67 and even par thru 12 - and about to make the cut in his 41st Masters. He's playing w/ a 20 year old who is +10. Yesterday he hit hybrid into all but one par four.

You know golf better than I do, but the guy seems like a real A-Hole to me.
Anyone that is top 1% of 1% can seem like that. If they aren't, they aren't there. Watch his youtube videos. The one w/ PDJT is brilliant, though you'll hate it. Plenty of others to choose from though.

Cheering so hard for him 15 just killed him crushing going into the water. First time I met him he served me communion at our church. Great guy, one of the nicest people you will ever meet

What stood out to me is that the PGA Tour badly needs Bryson.
I’ve been feeling bad for the guy ever since he couldn’t park his jet at the airport prior to the SMU game. He and other SMU donors had to land at Williamsport and rent a party bus to get to the game. I didn’t have that problem but it’s a shame he did.

That's unrelated obviously, and if a PSU wealthy alum brigade came across the same situation in TX or CA, I'd assume they'd take it like a champ and just move on. Like Bryson probably did. I assume they didn't stop at Rivals for wings, or Franco's, which sucks for them.
