Sam Bennett having an awesome Masters so far.   He definitely has a bright future ahead.

Brooks was post round TV interview and he only had Nike logo on hat and shirt.

Oh well, if he wins, he'll easily be able to pay Greg's fine.

Yeah, the quote I saw from Cam Smith was a "basically" contracted. If you look at the highlights from LIV Orlando, final round Brooks had no visible logo either. It's possible to get around this it's on the shoes or something, but seemingly nowhere prominently.

I wish on the shot traces they would have the curve be in yards and not feet. Tiger just hit a banana cut that curved 40 yards. Would help ams manage their expectations better

I know NIL has changed the world on all this but it is funny to see Sam Bennett (who is playing his tail off) have a "(a)" by his name but also be covered in logos. Happy he is getting paid but this idea of "amateur" is....fluid....

I keep my golf expectations low so as not to be disappointed .

I can only go with what the reporters are says and we all know how accurate that is

apparently Brooks hasn’t worn his team logo all week.  Maybe he is positioning himself to see if it is possible to get back on the PGA tour.

It’s because he has no more friends and doesn’t get invited to dinner anymore! Ha ha

I doubt if he is worried about that. I would invite him over Tiger or Rory.

Looks like Rory and Billy Boy Horschel need to work on their games instead of worrying about the LIV guys.

Just hit on that curved 57 off the line they use to measure.

It also went 266!  I've got the same shot as Tiger! 

[fixyurdivot]

Wow, what a sea of people. So just where do that many patrons go for shelter from a possible T-storm?

[gavinski91]

So apparently the pros are allowed to have their phones - just got a funny shot of JT taking his hat off so that face recognition would recognize him and unlock his phone. The pros - they're just like us!

Watching all of this golf has me ready to go play my own round.  Wednesday.

He should be doing recon at a course on the list for the 5th Annual PNW Spy Meet-up.

Are the birds songs live or dubbed... my wife is asking   I haven't heard a single clap of thunder.  As a player, this would get pretty monotonous . 

[Headhammer]

So the mouthpiece for the PGA, and current world #2 missed the cut and the mouthpiece for LIV, 73 year old Phil Mickelson is in contention at Augusta. Golf if a cruel mistress.

You actually thought you were going to win a set of Titleist wedges in the Masters Pool? 

[gavinski91]

Doesn't look like play will resume after 2 trees fall into the gallery. Reports are that no one was injured.

It was a joke

A prescient republishing of a 1999 GOLF magazine article about tree health at Augusta: https://www.halphillips.net/if-a-tree-falls-or-falls-ill-at-augusta-national-does-it-make-a-sound

I'm sure by the time the 2nd round resumes tomorrow morning, there will be no evidence that those trees ever existed.

Wow, the place holder image on the screen certainly wouldn't suggest that much weather.
