Mis it!

Was that for Reed's putt? That's bad form if so. I don't root “against” players. I want the players I like to play better than others, not guys to hit shanks or miss putts. C'mon man...

It has to be awkward for the membership at Augusta National to have Patrick Reed be able to come back forever under the “past champions” category. Augusta and The National are full of UGA grads and supporters. Reed will never let them forget his time at UGA!

It's not. If you'll remember from the original pool announcement, rankings in the pool are determined by purse payout dollars. You can find the total purse breakdown here:

https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2018/03/18/2018-masters-purse-winners-share-prize-money-payout-108817/amp/

 

 

Then ties are split between all the positions tied with. For example, Finau and Kuchar are tied for 2nd. They occupy the 2nd and 3rd position on the leaderboard which pay out at $1,188,000 and $748,000 respectively. The tie splits that money paying each player 968,000.........and so on down the leaderboard.

 

Just bumping this comment since there still seems to be confusion on how we're scoring the #SpyStaffSlam contest. Look for an announcement tomorrow. With 1000+ entries, we want to double check the calculations before announcing the winners.

 

I will say this, based on the trends I've seen thus far, you'll need to have had Reed and Rickie plus strong remaining players to have a chance at winning. MAYBE Reed and Jordan but you would've had to be perfect on tiers 3,4,5. With that many entries, the margin for error is very small.

 

 

Good luck all!

Congrats to Patrick Reed for playing hard and not caving on Sunday.  He never gave up under pressure and that's the mark of a champion.  I'm not a fan of his (unless he's playing a Ryder Cup match :D ) however I am impressed with his grit and determination.  Well done Patrick!

Reed has always had a great short game, but his driving has been suspect.  It seems like the Ping driver has been a good match for him the last few weeks.  It might be enough to make him a contended in more majors.

Yeah, just to make me Soo very happy, he will probably go on to win the other 3 this year.

I hate the Rahmbo “nickname” because he gave it to himself and tries to get everyone to call him that. That's lame in my book. You can't nickname yourself. Unless you're in elementary school lol.

Also... you can't tell me with a straight face that Rickie didn't want him to miss that putt.

You'll have to ask Rickie that question. However, I'd prefer to think Rickie wishes he'd made one less stroke, not that someone else made a bad play.

Doubtful. Anyways, you took my thoughts way out of proportion. Would have liked to see Rickie win, and that was the only way for that to happen. I'll say the same thing when I want the OSU kicker to miss a FG to win the game.

It's really amazing that a single stroke, over the course of four days, is always what separates one from another. Pretty amazing.

A shot on Thursday counts just as much as a shot on Sunday.

Chamblee, "Rory won't win again until he fixes his swing"..., geesh, give me a break dude

 

Rory lost confidence in his putter today and that is the main thing that kept him out of the hunt.  It's funny how one part of your game like putting can take you down mentally. He missed a boat load of short putts.

He looked rattled from the first tee shot that went 45 degrees right. Recovered well but never seemed settled over the ball. Putts looked rushed too. Sad to see that, but Jordan and Rickie made this Sunday one of the best in my book, there was so much to watch!! Even my wife sat and watched with me. Pulled hard for Jordan but hats off to Reed what a tournament!
