Ridiculous Hideki still needs an interpreter
THE MASTERS
- Thread starter cawoodsct
- Start date
Rose's chip on 11 and Hideki's on 18 were out of this world difficult and they were brilliant.
Spieth choosing to putt on 13 instead of chip was the end for him. That was head scratchingly dumb. I know he wanted to take the creek out of play but when you chip the way he does there's no way you putt that through the grass from a mile away down a hill nobody was getting down after the rain delay.
Rose has shown incredible grit in making huge par saves down the stretch but at the end of the day Rose is Rose. He still sits there at -7 since Friday.
If Hideki shoots anything under par he wins. If he falters then one of those guys at -7 will get to -12. Probably Schauffele but that Z kid is stone cold and playing out of his mind, too.

I’m hoping the commentators continue to educate us on social justice issues. Glad JT is out...he would apologize a record 37th time to gay people when he never said one thing to them to begin with but there would’ve been tears.
and the whole thing with constantly asking Hideki about walking in the footsteps of other major winners on a completely different tour who happen to be Japanese women was tone deaf...ummm, Japanese men don’t exactly put other sexes and invading foreigners on a pedestal in Japan like our leaders do for short term political benefits. EVER heard of a geisha Jim? The translator was diplomatic at first and then the last time he was asked it was like “I don’t really know how to answer that”...just kind of shut it off.

Pin position on #4 is brutal. How do you get close to that? Unless you hit the pin or some other kind of fluke, nobody will get inside 20ft today. I guarantee it plays as the hardest hole on the course today.

Dechambeau hits a moonshot and gets it to roll back to 10ft. Nobody else will get that close today.
And me misses the putt.

The only time I went to the Masters, I told myself that was the hardest par 3 I have ever seen. The day I was there it was a cold and windy morning and the tees were set back at 240 yards. We watched 12 pros play no. 4, and one guy made par. One.
With the pin 10 ft off the fringe behind that huge front bunker it is insanely difficult today. A good shot today is 30ft left on the same ridge but most people have been long left chipping it back all the way across the green then breaking hard right down the hill.
4 and 5 are going to ruin a few rounds today.
He hit a drive on 5 that was jaw dropping. Fun guy to watch. Not sure why so many people don't like him. Maybe because when he gets mad and fires his ball back as his caddy 100mph.
He has been snippy all morning. He was making sarcastic remarks left and right that were getting picked up by the mic... and I think I heard him say "what a sh&t shot" on 13 yesterday.
It's funny how playing the course on Xbox changes how you watch it. Even though I knew Zalatoris only had 30 yards left on 3, I knew he was in bad position.
I was thinking the same exact thing. You know not to get down that fairway corner on Tiger Woods 2013 as you can't hit the green from there, LOL. I lay up from the tee with a 4 iron as far to the right as I can get to go at that left pin position and it moves hard right to left as soon as it hits the green. You actually do learn a ton about the course from those games.
Matsuyama is not going to break. After he hit it a mile right on 1 he steadied down. Even there he came within a quarter-inch of making that long par putt. When he hit it out of those trees on 1 I think he missed his spot and just went around right of a tree he was trying to go left of. But I think it made him feel like that was the break he needed because he's been smooth as butter ever since.
The Masters punishes mistakes more than any sporting event in the world. The more these guys press trying to catch up the more they fall behind. It really is the most unique sporting event on earth. There is nothing like Augusta and that's why I love watching it from start to finish no matter the score.

What do you guys think about Tom Brady calling Finau yesterday? I would be pissed if I were him. Talk about putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.
Hey Tom, that's like talking to the kicker before a game winning kick. You just don't do that.

Faldo was right. Chip it up to the 5 feet or so off the green and take your medicine. You go at that flag and hit it into the water on the other side and we have a dead even tournament. Now at least he has a 2 shot lead with 3 to go.
I'd love to see Schauffele hit it to 3 feet on 16 so we can have an ending.

I feel cheated. If Shauffele hadn't fallen completely apart and instead birdied 16, then we're looking at a tie right now if Hideki misses the putt from the fringe. Damn.
He missed it. That close to a tie going into 17... but instead a triple for Shauffele and we back into a blah ending. Maybe Hideki will bogey 17 and at least give us something...
Mind boggling that Shauffele hits it into the water on 16 in that situation. The pressure must have been enormous. The truly great respond and play even better under enormous pressure and they are very, very rare in all of sport.
