2023 - 2 US Open
2022 - 2 Masters, 3 Open Championship
2022/2023 7 top tens in Majors, and MC in 2023 Masters
Does Rory or Jordan get the career grand slam? (Rory needs a green jacket, Jordan needs a PGA)
Other players who are 1 major short of a career slam (and still playing)
Phil - US Open
Brooks has 5 majors but lacks a green jacket, and an Open Championship
Watching replay of a few of Jason Day today - and he seems to be wearing baggy pants (I'd guess 2 sizes too big) and a quarter sleeve garbage bag windbreaker.
I am sure this is the review his outfitter was hoping for
Yeah - it would have been great/funny to see a Tiger/Phil pairing (maybe tomorrow), Brooks/Patrick Slowly, Rory/Phil but the real thing everyone is waiting for is to see what Jason Day is wearing today.
Rory looking like he might not play AGNC this weekend, then again couple more people slip and the cut could reach +5 (actually likely with the wind blowing)
It would be interesting to see the course in the fall, or even a few weeks before the Masters; because the aim at getting into prime shape for this week. Pretty sure the azaleas are kept in greenhouses, conditioned to bloom this week and transplanted to the course for the players/guests/TV audience enjoyment. No telling what else is done to make for prime time viewing.
Not that I would ever get an invite during one of those times; hell I can't get an invite to be part of the general public. Now that I think about it, they treat me like I am Greg Norman & what did I ever do to them?
I have 2 thoughts as I've watched some early play today
a) Watching Jordan is almost painful, seeing him miss the green on 15 with a wedge in his hand makes me wonder where the magic has gone. His short game and dropping bombs on the putting green was amazing. He seems like he is a high level grinder now. Sure help he can find the spark again (but I'm not hopeful)
b) I have to remember to watch Freddie today, because I am not sure how much longer he will play here. And from my days as a young adult, I've loved to watch that swing. He is about my age, and I have enjoyed his career (and that he was the king of the skins game, winning more than $4.4m in skins)
13 & 15 pins are in about as safe a spot as you can get, 12 who knows - yesterday shows how hard that hole can be with wind, 11 pushed all the way back and away from the pond (there is no place to make 11 a "gettable" location
Gotta love the green complex at AGNC, really challenges the best players
Intra-day rollercoaster is dizzying, I need to back away from looking & thinking I should do something. And yet that isn't a comfortable feeling either. Fuck me

And Steven Hawking, cheating on his wife with his nurse?
Saying physics shit that only 10 +\- people on the planet could understand?
- oh crap, google tells me that Hawking was a 1 time guest on Epstein Island, I give him mad props if he went (was taken) there to have a sex weekend
And why is the queen mum on the collage twice, again maybe they are different people and I can't differentiate white haired white royalty
RIckie threw that chance away yesterday, with the Par 3 jinx - nobody who has won the Par 3 has gone on to win the Green Jacket in that year. No way Rickie is going to have the mojo to break that kind of voodoo.
All that being said, I am okay if they get some good shots of Mrs Fowler
How has this not been posted yet.
Only tour event that we know what it means when AGNC pin placements are posted
13 & 15 balls will be in the water, 11 in the front is a tough pin/chip from the bail out area
Thoughts and prayers to his family
but
I've had him on my list for a number of years - patience pays off with 24 points on the real killer of Nicole and Ron
I have to say that the Masters has the best traditions with the Champions dinner and the honorary starters.
I wonder who will fill the spots for Gary & Jack when they can't hit a tee shot anymore - they are more than past champions, they are icons
Gary (88) stripes one, hope I am still swinging a club at his age
Jack (84) looks like he can barely walk, putting the ball on a tee is accomplishment, but he finds the fairway (which is pretty wide at 150 yards off the tee
Tom (74) is a youngster in this threesome, hell he almost won the British only 15 years ago
