2022 Masters - The Return of Tiger

[tbone_ 14278]

He should stop bogeying

[Cairn Horn88 8435]

The wind and/or cold seems to be having a negative affect on Scottie.

[dcar00 14609]

ballooned there.  need 2 putt badly.

Bold strategy, Cotton!

Looks like the point in the Masters where everyone is screwing up because they're intimidated by Tiger.  Only TIger intimidated himself.

Oof.  Charles with no es.  You wouldn't miss those if your parents sprung for 2 more letters in your name.

i thought Lowry was "Mr. just happy to be here" guy.

I think that's the food concession's motto for him.

So they made an adjustment to try and maintain the historical vision of the hole (a superior shot will be rewarded; substandard will be punished). And they are desperately trying to get the next generation to have to land at least a mid iron into the green.

Mother nature didn't play according to plan. So what? The course is a living being. That's the rub of the green and the best golfers will adjust accordingly.

Do you enjoy this set up more or those in the past?  This is such a dumb back and forth. I said I hated it. It’s less fun. I guess some of y’all like it which seems inconceivable to me but it’s a matter of taste at the end of the day. Ok. Cool. Hook ‘em.

yep.  15 is still reachable in 2, but not if the wind is howling and the ball isn't flying because it's so cold.  so be it.  supposed to be much warmer tomorrow.  guys will hit it in 2.

and yeah, Gene Sarazen made his double eagle there with a 4 wood for his second shot.  that's the way the hole was designed to play.  not driver, 8 iron.

Too small a sample size to judge.

-20 aggregate is too much.

Birdies should mean something.  Eagles should mean a shitload

[dcar00 14609]

stuffs it.  that was stone cold.

you are acting like it will never be reachable in 2 again because they moved the tee back.  its 520 yards.  these pussies can't reach it?

Literally I just meant 15.  I do agree completely with everything you said though. This tournament is at its best (in my opinion) when there’s about 6-10 guys somewhere around 8-12 under entering the back 9. They’ve got to hang on through 12, hit the gas on 13-16 and then 17 and 18 are really hard holes that can be birdied with 2 very good shots.

I agree but it's not the US Open.  there have always been opportunities for more eagles at the Masters because Jones wanted it that way.

[Sbbruin 21912]

Only 7 of 17 pars for Scottie.

[dcar00 14609]

oh shit.

[Pato del Muerto 52886]

Need a pith helmet and a lantern to find that

[Cairn Horn88 8435]

That’s not a good sign.

Of course, and thats why there is zero rough too.

Better to happen today than tomorrow I guess.

He’s not going to make it 8 out of 18 here without an absolute miracle. 

[Sbbruin 21912]

It’s amazing.  When I hit it in that kinda shit, I always find it, and it’s always lying perfect.  Pretty remarkable.

[MirrOlure 14949]

Surely he’ll drop it

[clapclapclap 9000]

We sure that's his ball?  It looks like Cam Smith's nest.

Correct.  He will be lucky to bogey this hole.

[dcar00 14609]

wow.  he's got a shot with 2 club lengths.

[Sgt Hulk 14094]

Dude just kick it out like I do 

[Cairn Horn88 8435]

This is the reason why I always hit my drives in the middle of the fairways….

[phdhorn 6224]

Scottie:  "Can I do a buncha shit here?

Official:

Winter rules

[Sbbruin 21912]

So he’s lying 2 here yes?

[Wulaw Horn 19253]

Just now, Sbbruin said:

Yes. One in- 2 to drop and hitting 3. 

[pops 7044]

Wow

[MirrOlure 14949]

Wow.

[Jive Turkey 12723]

thank god they cleared out all the "patrons" so that there were no shadows in Scottie's way.  🙄

[tbone_ 14278]

Damn

[jeevsie 3740]

Nice shot

[Surly Bevo 25529]

All in all....not terrible

[perfectchaos007 6717]

Scottie has a chance to save bogey

[phdhorn 6224]

That shot reminds me of me.  Except his wasn't shitty.

[4th&Five 41705]

 

[MirrOlure 14949]

Is that a car alarm in the background?

[Sbbruin 21912]

A 5 is pretty damn good after that tee shot

[phdhorn 6224]

Pickin' another buger.  But a satisfying buger.

Where do you think the tee will be tomorrow?

Jesus, what's better than having a traditional birdie/eagle hole on Sunday bring some scar tissue from earlier in the week?

[Tex-19 2886]

Frustrating that Scottie and Smith hit the same shanked tee shot on 18 but Smith’s bounced into the fairway and Scotties dropped into a bush

[MirrOlure 14949]

Jeez. I thought it was gonna lip out!

[perfectchaos007 6717]

3 stroke lead heading into Sunday. Cam playing with no pressure tomorrow so should be a good finish.

[tbone_ 14278]

Hell of a bogey save

No idea. I have no idea what they are trying to do with this tournament.  Are they pissed bc the November Masters was a pitch and putt complete with clown cars and wind mills and then it got a little loose last year too?  Or do they want the traditional Sunday set up?  I hope the tees are up and it plays at 520 and you have to hit the right spot off the tee (or lay up bc you are out of position) and then have somewhere between a 4 iron and 6 iron in. That’s been what it was for pretty much all of my life watching this tournament. 
hope it plays to about a 4.5 score on the day with 3 eagles and 5 or 6 others.
