The Masters
- Thread starter cawoodsct
- Start date
Of course anything can happen over the next two days. But my picks are looking sweet headed into the weekend. Scott & Oosthuizen tied for the lead. Mickelson 3 shots back.
Having said that...it's very crowded at the top. I think it's Koepka's tourney to lose at this point. His game looks strong. But it's tough to win the Masters wire to wire with so many players within striking distance.
Also...Tiger at just one shot back is sitting pretty...if his back, knee & ankle hold up. His biggest problem though is that he is no longer feared the way he once was. Players aren't going to crumble under the pressure of Tiger's presence atop the leader board. He lost that edge a decade ago. He's gonna have to slug it out and hit some putts down the stretch.
Should be a tremendous finish to the jacket.
^ I'm not so sure. I think Tiger is playing like he used to, and these guys grew up idolizing him. Brooks Koepka won't be fazed, but if he and Tiger are facing off on Sunday, I'll take Tiger. Part of what makes Tiger seem more invincible than he is is the fan support. When the fans are roaring so loudly that golfers have to step away from their shots to wait for the fans to settle down, it throws off the golfers. I guarantee you that Brooks Koepka will be paying more attention to the leaderboards tomorrow than he normally does.
Still like Molinari to win. Wouldn't worry about Scott because he still can't putt. Phil will hold steady today and get shaky 1st 9 tomorrow when his CBD oil wears off.
Pulling for Tiger and 3 others chasing each other down. Yesterday was great. Golf needs this ****.

Nah. He might win... lose... whatever... but he's not checking the boards wondering where Tiger might be.

Can’t pick Tiger at this point when he is missing so many putts inside 10 feet. Everything else in his game is on point right now but he has left at least 4 shots on the course when you include some of the long putts he has made. 2000-2001 Tiger crushes the field mainly because he was deadly with that putter.
/\ This. He just does not drain those inside 10fters like he used to. If he somehow does start doing it over the weekend he wins..IMO
I played golf yesterday and I can assure you that golf is a STUPID game. Half the time the ball doesn't even go where you want it to. At least with bowling the worst you should do is hit the gutter. I hit balls yesterday that no human will ever see again.
I've been to Augusta twice and both times I asked if I could hit a ball. The only explanation I heard was, no. I don't care who wins.

I have become a huge Phil fan just because of his Twitter. Never realized how funny the guy is.
Him saying their would be no side action today because he would only collect about .06 percent from Kuchar is just funny.
Who else on here hates Jim Nantz. His hushed reverent tones are ******* nauseating. Mute button FTW!
Finau wearing space shoes? WTF is that. Helluva a round though.
Happy to see Tiger get dialed in for the back today.
I wish I could get into playing golf as it seems like the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning as I get older, but I doubt it ever happens for me.

Put peg in ground. Swing.
Why don't you tell me why since you seem to know? That is if you were referring to me.
Maybe so, and I respect that, but it would be a cool moment for a lot of people if he won.
