Not sure if this is good news for Tiger's back or not. His knowledge of that course has to be at least a 2-3 stroke advantage if not more so if he comes in at least 90% "good Tiger" then you would think he has a shot to be on the leaderboard.

Top 50 and ties...no 10 shot rule for the cut which means you need to step on the gas and pay attention to the leaderboard a little more than you normally would. .

I was half asleep when they said it but I thought I heard them say on Morning Drive this morning that Nick Faldo said if DeChambeau drove the green on the 445 yard hole 1 that he would strip naked, jump out of the tower and run around the fairway. Sir Nick better hope Bryson doesn't lay into one or he could be either arrested for indecent exposure or going back on his word before the weekend is over. 🤣

I don’t think we will have to worry about seeing that 🤮

He hit a 428 yard drive in the Travelers tournament. He has now increased his clubhead and ball speed both so with a good roll it isn't totally out of the realm of possibility. I think Justin Thomas had one that went 449 yards earlier in the year too.

I know it’s possible with a good roll, but just don’t think it will happen. Off topic of the Masters, but any older guys here that have lost a lot of length off the tee from your younger days? Do you play the shorter tees or just accept that you won’t reach some par 4’s in two?

No way round 1 gets completed today with the weather delay and less daylight.

I don't think it will happen either but I also am not confident enough that it won't that I would say I would run around the fairway naked if it did happen. 🤣

DeChambeau could easily be 4 or 5 over right now. Already with 2 provisionals. He lucky to have found both of the originals.

I don't mean this bad but Oosthuizen has a huge head compared to his body.

Tiger looks to be on the prowl today. He has a pretty good record in Masters tournaments where he has shot a 70 or less the opening round.
