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.

I don't think Morikawa needs Scheffler to struggle in order to win, he has two majors himself and his iron play can be at least as good as Schefflers.  I was looking for his rank in putting this week but haven't found it yet to compare to Schefflers rank at 36 per @cnosil .

Tiger needs one of those ball pickup things on the top of his putter.

Like Tiger, I have a fused back, and I also have one of those ball pickup things on my putter. Love it. If I ever do pull the trigger on a LAB DF 2.1, the ball pickup thing gets moved to the LAB. Last time I played at Pinehurst they put me with some 20-somethings and even they thought the ball pickup was a great idea.

I wonder what the sports books would do if Schefflers wife goes into labor tonight?!?!?!?!

The commentators said he said “no matter where he was in the tournament, if she goes he’s gone.”  I bet there’s bets on her going into labor…and which hole….and it’s while he’s about to drive or hit an approach or putt.

That would definitely be the sports story of 2024.  I think it was TGC who said he was "heading home as soon as he received word she is in labor".

Went to bed seeing Nicolai Højgaard atop the leaderboard at -7 after 10 holes, woke up to find him finish at -2 after a string of bogeys. Oh, that’s tough!

[GolfSpy_APH]

Getting caught up on all the fun that I missed yeterday. Cannot wait to watch today and enjoy one of the best days in golf. 

[Michael.Sandoval33]

I did not pick Homa to win in the pool, but that is the guy I have been rooting for the whole time, I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago in the "Who do you think will win the Masters" thread. 

Now I want him to completely dominate today.

So just finished watching the highlights from Schefflers round and I don't remember seeing Augusta this firm and fast in my time watching. 

[Northern Monkey]

It’s certainly gonna be an interesting day with the greens the way they are

Was thinking about that yesterday as I watched them finish up - just wondering if the plan is to keep the greens from being “too receptive” and in essence keep the scores pretty much where they are….

[Preeway]

Just a note that Augusta watered the course overnight. Will make for an exciting final day.

That should help Bryson out, he looked a little lost with the speed of the greens yesterday. But he’s got some ground to cover to get back in this thing.

It was looking pretty dire going into 18. The hole out has to give him some needed momentum today though.

Leaderboard set up for a great finish today. I’d be happy to see anyone win except DeChambeau - hope he has an 80 today.

The Masters has always been my favorite golf tournament, but I wasn’t sure why, finally figured it out. Having been there in person helped, but the reason I think I like it above all other majors is it’s the same course year after year. When I watch other majors, I only sort of recognize the holes if at all. But having watched the Masters every year, I know every hole, and what it looks/plays like - so I have a good idea what the player is facing with each shot. YMMV

Every time I do this it fails.  Hopefully today it doesn’t.  Pulling for the kid that has a H, an O, a M, and an A to spell his last name.  Max, I’m sorry if this back fires.

Also, PR is still wearing RF’s jacket… 

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Will Scottie hold his lead to win his second green jacket in three years? Will Max Homa notch his first Major championship and cement himself as one of the best players in the world (no extra reason needed IMO)? With Morikawa looking like an older version of himself with his irons, can he overtake Scheffler? Can Bryson regain his first round form and make a run? 

All should make for must see TV in today’s final round!

I'm enjoying watching Tiger playing with Shipley right now, it's good to see the big cat laughing as he's walking down the fairway and talking to the amateur ass u have a feeling this is something Shipley will remember for the rest of his life. 

[GolfSpy MPR]

We'll be watching a bit later this afternoon. But for the morning, Kirke's donning his green jacket:

I really wish Tiger would have dropped the mic in 2019… hopefully he can regain his killer instincts.  But I think we are finally seeing the kryptonite take effect…

[Nickygolf]

I feel for Tiger, I know what triple bogeys feel like

Mine came this morning, don't know when I will get to use them since it was still spitting snow on the way to the mail box. Here's a couple of pictures, so excited to try these since my biggest issue is trying to watch that beautiful shot before I even hit the ball.

Oh yes it has always been super fast at Augusta.  Sometimes it's just too fast and the players really complain.

The only time it's not super fast is if it's been raining. That dials it back to only ridiculously fast.

I mentioned that I was working in Augusta about a month ago, and drove to and from work along Washington Road, which is how you get to ANGC. Southeast of the course you go across a bridge over a body of water which feeds into the nearby Savannah River. I had my suspicions what that body of water was, but finally checked it out last night on Google Earth. I was correct: That bridge is over Lake Olmstead, which receives water from... Rae's Creek. Wonder how many golf balls have washed down into that lake.

Shipley seems to be well in his comfort zone especially given the crowds tiger attracts on a Sunday even at +15.

[TJ Hall]

I’ve already informed my wife not to expect much out of me today!  Excited to see what the final round holds and who will ultimately come out on top.
