Golf The Masters - 2024

[sideswipe]

Tiger doing enough.

Only think Scottie not winning is his pending birth.

Every impending dad can’t shut up about “what he might have to cancel” if the kid comes early. More chance of Danny Willett playing 4 good rounds than a first time mum with no issues popping off 3 weeks early.

Gone Critical ?

Reckon Bryson wins - he could have easily gone way lower. 2 x 3 putts.

Scottie had a few good breaks.

Hoping for a playoff!

He and the best of the conditions. Afternoon was hellish

I never watched golf growing up and only picked up the game as a newbie about 4 or 5 years ago, so haven't watched too often.

Why do they call it "Amen Corner"?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Played in the worst conditions as well. 6/12 GIR. Pretty solid round to be fair.

Now to see how he recovers and preps for 24 holes tomorrow.

He's a living reminder why car safety and road safety are important. Years on and he still struggles.

All the holes are named at Augusta

Just watched Bryson's round. Every shot. Great score. But wow that was an ordinary looking 65 if there is such a thing.

Missed 4 fairways oiff the tee by a LONG way. Got extremely lucky with where these balls ended up, had a shot with every single one. Got a kick off a tree back into the fairway too.

His irons weren't great. Hit 15/18 greens but many of them were only just on the edge. Only a couple of shots were genuine pin seekers.

His putting was the highlight. Only missed 1 putt inside 10ft. Drained two monster putts. And plenty of other longer makes too.

Needs to tidy up his game - can't get that lucky 4 days in a row.

Herbert Warren Wind, the esteemed golf writer, came up with the name. Think it was either a jazz song or jazz band.

That’s different to Amen Corner.

Scottie had plenty of good fortune…

Didn't re-watch his round, but with his technique Scottie is lucky he can even make good contact with the ball.

The best part of Bryson's round was when he went to 'tip his cap' when walking up 18 but had his cap in his other hand. Quickly recovered and disguised it as a scratch of his forehead.

Haven't been a big fan of his but his inner douchebag has receded a bit of late. I thought he spoke well in his post round interview.

Simplistic answer from my point of view.
If you manage to get through those 3 holes without destroying your scorecard you would shout “Amen” or in my case…thank f*** for that!

He’s a goofball and great for the game - one example of why the game needs to re-unite. This is his second last year of major exemptions(ex US Open).

Sheffler could almost wrap this up tonight, he is the superior player in field.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Random thought...i wonder if Cam Davis has a left handed club in his bag?
Could come in handy if he's wayward off the tee.

Would it be fair to say Bryson has an average record in Majors?



1 x top 10 in each of the Open, US Open and 2 x PGA Champs. Plus 1 x top 25 in 7 starts at Augusta as an amateur. Will be a fair effort to hold it together for 3 more rounds and hold off Scheffler.

Depends which Bryson is playing - scientist bodybuilder or golfer? He is a changeling.

Interesting stat from IBF.
Every winner since 2005 has been in the top 11 after the first Rd.
So there you go….load up on the top 11.

 

[Woody15]

Augusta looks spectacular at this time of the morning.

 

[Woody15]

****ing hell Jason

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Love watching Hatton.
Never a dull moment

 

[hawkman]

Why would you ever miss left in the water with that pin on 16? Can aim 15-20 metres right and it will always go down to the pin

Hatton not far from a meltdown

Sorry boys for a dumb question. Been at a conference the last two days, finally sitting down with a red to catch up on golf.

Are there groups still finishing round 1?

Yes. On Fox now, 4 or 5 groups still to finish
