The Masters 2018 - Official thread

[Shankster]

Well Ladies and Gentlemen. I'll be checking in periodically for the next 72 holes. Enjoy your Masters week(end).

[Kor.A.Door]

Ahh, the Masters. Where the most anticipated tourney in years is happening, but the TV networks could care less. The tourney with the LEAST amount of coverage. Oh sure you can get updates, you can even catch highlites, but you can't watch anything, until 3:00pm nice. What a joke

[Shankster]

39° in Augusta, that's chilly.

Anyone notice the Chairman got their combined Wins wrong? He gave someone an extra W. He said 10 total.

 

Jack 6

 

Player 3

The app has earlier coverage of featured groups (10am), Amen Corner (10:45am), Holes 15 & 16 (11:45am) and then Broadcast like normal at 3pm.

 

I'm assuming that is all eastern time.

That's correct.  And I have been commercial free Masters On The Range since 830am.  And you can cast the app to your tv with google chromecast

[TSauer]

And I'm stuck at work with the worst possible internet connection, the app stream won't even load.

Featured Groups off and running! Patton Kizzire with a smooth Double to kick off the coverage

[Dilligaf]

Ahh now that they're playing, can we just slow down the clock? Cause I want this to last more than 4 days

Oh, I know.  But, there's nothing that can put a hex on you faster than me rooting for you.  Heck, I only thought about adding Tony Finau, and look what happened to him!

So I owe that to you? They just did a cool piece on him on ESPN. It must be super surreal to be a huge Tiger fan and then become a Nike staffer

Watching Matsuyama, Kizzire and Casey in one group and Woods, Fleetwood and Leishman in another.  Catching every shot by these groups.  If I want to see some variety I can watch Amen Corner or 15 & 16 to see more players.  Its not perfect but I am watching a lot of golf. 

[JTexGolfer]

Looks like tough scoring conditions so far.

Dude, I'd love to unlike this if I could.  I hate that crap.

All in all, we received 1050 entries for the MGS/Wilson Master's Pool. For those who love metrics (and who on here doesn't amiright?), here's the charts for pick frequency in the #SpyStaffSlam contest:

 

 

 

 

 

To use a basketball term, the "chalk" picks would be as follows:

Tier 1: Justin Thomas

Tier 2: Alex Noren

Tier 3: Kevin Kisner

Tier 4: Bryson DeChambeau

Tier 5: Shubhankar Sharma

 

 

Also, be sure to cheer on Brenden Steele because Wilson Staff will up the ante in the prize pool if he finishes top 3.

 

 

 

Good luck everyone!

That's a great graphic, Stud! I was sorta in the minority, which just means more goodies for me when I whoop y'all.

 

Kidding, I'm terrible at fantasy.

[GolfJunkie302]

Wow, my picks were not very good! I really wish I would have taken Marc Leishman...

 

Edit: Just went back and checked my line up. Apparently I have Kevin Na in there and he's bot even playing! I am 99.9% sure I changed that once I found out.

Thanks for the charts, stud!

 

It seemed that a fair amount of people picked Alex Noren in tier 2 (like me). Now I know for sure.

[Rickp]

I have Tony Finau, hows that going to work. Poor guy nearly crippled himself!

Jesus... WTF is Tiger doing???

[DPattGolf]

Thanks Stud! Definitely like that I only had one chalk pick. Picking Wiesberger is making me very happy but Cantlay may torpedo my chances unless he can figure things out tomorrow.

Playing hit the spectators it seems. 

[DawgDaddy]

Good stuff there Stud, Great job.
