The Masters - 2024

[DonnieGolfs]

Yea the logos kind of look like the generic recommendations for little league trophies. I agree with Rory too, I think he had a lot of pressure last year and got burned, I don't think he's mentally reset and got his game where it needs to be. He seems more relaxed off the course but on the course I think he's feeling more pressure than ever.

[DaHacksaw]

Tiger is stiffening up…old age struggles are real!

[GolfSpy_APH]

Really hope that Sunday has a close finish. Took Monday morning off just so you can stay up and finish watching it here.

It’s painful watching Tiger. 

Thoroughly enjoying watching Scottie make par putts today.

[StrokerAce]

Wonder if Scotty’s putting woes will come back to haunt him? He seems to be rolling it pretty good so far 

Hoping for a playoff 

[StrokerAce]

Nice to see the wind die down. That wasn’t very fun to watch yesterday 

Tiger really laboring out there. 72 holes is going to be tough. 
 

Morikawa on fire to start 

[plstover99]

Homa’s been on the par train all tournament it seems…How long before he heats up and goes on a tear? 

[StrokerAce]

Aberg has one of my favorite swings  Simple and powerful 

Bryson seems to be having trouble controlling his distance with his wedges again 

Tiger needs one of those ball pickup things on the top of his putter. Every time I watch him bend over and get his ball it looks like he’s not going to be able to get back up

His putter gets hot and he can really go low

Watching yesterday, Tiger seems in pain on every swing…looked like he was wincing on the follow through.

[Northern Monkey]

Wow Scottie dropping 3 shots in 2 holes! Didn’t  see that coming

[StrokerAce]

Wow everyone chasing the pin on 10 and it’s claiming some victims 

Scotty with a double

I just had that exact same thought as I watched him retrieve his ball on 18. Almost made me wince while sitting on my couch. 

[ParFore74x]

Top of the leaderboard is starting to fill up. This could get really tight. 

[Northern Monkey]

Scheffler unbelievable eagle

Right back on top again

Wow... what the heck happened?  Not only to Tiger but much of the field?  I was teaching fly casting to Scouts today and just now seeing the final groups finish up.  The weather looks great but the scores seem to have gotten worse, not better.   

Should be a great finishing day and it's going to take a special performance by someone to get past Scottie.  I have nothing on the schedule ... on purpose .

 

 

[StrokerAce]

Those grens are going to be rock hard and slippery as ice tomorrow

Can’t wait, going to be a great finish 

[sirchunksalot]

I'm really hoping to see a shootout between Scottie, Colin, and Max. Åberg really impressed me today and that hole out from Bryson on the 18th was something else.

Ranked 36 out of 60 for the event. 

[TJ Hall]

Should be a good finish tomorrow!  Only got to catch a few of the finishing holes today, but seemed like the course was fairly punishing today.

[Syks7]

Tomorrow is going to be fun.  Max is due for some putts to start dropping, Bryson is capable of fireworks, Scotty is Scotty, Morikawa looks like the Morikawa of a couple years ago.  There's plenty of talent lurking back there too, beyond the obvious guys that are closer -- Cam Smith and Cam Young both made up more strokes than the current masters lead at the Open a couple years back.  I still put money on Colin or Scotty and the final pairing (Iron striking shootout anyone!).  Should be a hell of Sunday to watch some golf.

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

What a great round today, so much fun to watch some of the misread distances/wind and how firm the greens were. No one could escape it

Lot of pin hunting today with some great up and downs.  Can't wait to see the sunday pins.

A Sunday Like No Other!  Collin has a great chance if Scottie struggles.  Hard to tell if that happens.  Scottie looked fairly solid despite 10 and 11 today.  Should be great on TV.

[DukeStKing]

I will really miss hearing Verne Lundquist do the Masters. One of a kind. I want to savor tomorrow’s calls by Mr. Lundquist.

While unlikely any will be in Butler's Cabin tomorrow, still a pretty decent showing from the "dark side".  I was expecting Niemann and/or Koepka to be in the final couple of groups on Sunday.  

Does Bryson right the listing ship?  Might one of the Cam's catch fire and post a clubhouse lead?  We'll know about this time tomorrow.

[KC Golf]

A telling stat for the rest of the field.  If Scottie sinks a few putts the green jacket is his…

Interesting as TGC was just showing some recent trend data (beyond this week) that suggests Scottie's lost ground on his stats - and that he'll likely need to "gut this one out".

[ParFore74x]

Really would be cool to see Homa put in a charge for the win. Not going to be an easy round for anyone. 

[Preeway]

Not sure how but I went from mid 30s on Thursday to 1st today. Just need a strong finish from Rahm and Morikawa.

I'd like to hear JT's and Harman's post round interviews.  I've done a brief search and not found any as yet.  Certainly the playing conditions will be mentioned as a factor but I wonder if one or both chose some aggressive shot choices they now wish they hadn't?

Also, I had not heard JT and Bone's parted ways just prior to the event. Count me amongst the many who thought this player/caddie pairing would prove to be a really good one.  The press quotes are the typical flowery stuff but there has to be something more not being shared - and that we may never know.  In any case, making the change the week ahead of The Masters seems like poor timing. 

I hadn't heard about the JT & Bones split either!  I didnt pay attention to who was wearing the caddie coveralls in the TV shots.
