revkev 22,604 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I know it's a week early but I can't help but getting in the jab that there will be twice as many players capable of winning the Masters at the Valspar as there will be at..... the Masters. One of the Masters great secrets of success is limiting the field. It insures having big names in contention and in the Butler Cabin more often than not also. Regardless I've got a mini buddies weekend on tap. Valspar on Friday, Golf on Saturday. I'm off Sunday next weekend as well.

Kor.A.Door 5,839 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Actually there are 144 players in the field for valspar, and the Masters looks like there will be more than 100, so there will actually be about 1/3 more players that have a chance to win at the valspar than there will be at the masters. 😠1 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
tha_carter7 13 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Prolly the best Valspar field to date. Considering this tourney didn't have a title sponsor a couple years ago, this is huge for them and the TB community. But as we've seen at Torrey, Riv, and PGA National - when T-Dubs comes out...so do the crazies. I bet Speith and Stenson rolled their eyes when they saw their pairing for Thursday and Friday haha 1 Quote Driver: 915 D3 10.5* - Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana S+ Blue 60 3 Wood: Vapor Fly 15* - Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana S+ Blue 70 Hybrid: 712U 3 Iron - TT Dynamic Gold S300 Irons: 714 AP2 4-P - TT Dynamic Gold S300 Wedge: BV Raw Black SM5 52*.12*F, 56*.14*F, 60*.08*M - TT Dynamic Gold W Flex Putter: 33" Cameron & Crown 6M Futura - Super Stroke 3.0 Slim Ball: ProV1 Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut05 299 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm interested to see how Sam Burns plays in this one. He's a local kid and his coach is the same guy I go to for lessons. I'm would love to see him get another top 10 like he did a few weeks ago. I've seen him play a couple times around here and he's got a ton of talent. 1 Quote In my bag: Callaway Epic Subzero with Aldila Rogue Max 75 Stiff shaft Callaway Rogue Subzero with Project X Evenflow 6.0 75g stiff shaft Callaway Rogue 3 Hybrid with Aldila Synergy 60 HYB stiff shaft Callaway Apex irons (4-PW) with True Temper XP 95 stiff shafts Callaway MD3 wedges (50/54/58) SeeMore Original FGP Bridgestone Tour B RX Link to post Share on other sites

STUDque 11,873 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 In seriousness, this is shaping up to be a perfect time for DeChambeau to break through and get his second win. What a field to beat if he can make it happen too.
