Unreal that this didn’t drop. 

Painful for Clark but just Scottie doing all time great things, nbd

I know that the Saudi PIF is "investing" hundreds of millions, really billions - what is the end game for that as an investment? Players are getting paid more, PGA Tour says they are committed to their Charity partners, are advertisers going to pay more for naming rights, or more in broadcast fees  It isn't like the can get greens fees to go up because of this.
I just don't see it as anything more than sportswashing; and PIF is looking at tennis too. Maybe the PGA board was making more than I can imagine, I know there were allegations of a ton of money not going players & charities. 
( I know this probably belongs in the LIV thread - but that, like their tour is kinda dead)

That lip out on 18 was brutal. That ball was dead center 

scheff needs to save some for the masters 

The evidence suggests otherwise.

[Jive Turkey 12,673]

Glad Wyndham Clark missed that putt. Dude is very suspect. Approaching Patrick Reed levels of shadiness.

Rahm's Masters dinner menu.

Rahm knows how to put together a dining experience

[MrX 743]

It’s not a Champions Dinner if it’s not haggis.

I think this is my favorite hole in golf. 

What hole at "The Masters" is Surly's favorite?

Definitely a few to choose from...

[4th&Five 41,619]

Hard to single just one out of Amen Corner but if I have to I’ll take 13.

Hah. 12 is my answer.

Guessing it's high up your list. 

[conVINCEd 21,474]

13

Yeah I really can't decide either, that's why I put the question out there.  I always enjoy the 15th and 16th back-to-back.  All 3 holes of "Amen Corner" are so much fun to watch.  

Love that we now get to watch all 18 holes.

Wonder what hole on the front 9 most folks like best at "The Masters" ??

The front 3's and 5's are fairly boring I think. 3 and 9 would be my pick. Also, #1 just because it means the Masters has started. 5 is great for the carnage. 

Back - 13 is a common answer but I love short par 3's and there is no better short par 3 than 12. Love 16, too - all of the hole locations there make for exciting tee shots. 

I think 10 and 11 are vastly underrated holes. 

I just named half the course... Hence why this tournament is so awesome.

[alincoln 2,385]

It really depends on conditions on the day but I love when 15 plays a pivotal role (Seve 86, Sergio 17, Molinari 19).

[dieucla98 2,942]

The tee shot on 15 is the only thing holding it back, especially compared to 13. Otherwise, ya, it's a fantastic hole, too.

10 is an incredible hole. I like it better than any hole on the front.

Even though it was the site of one of my least favorite meltdowns(Jordan), 12 is my favorite. 

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Speaking of Jordan, he’s a featured group today, starting at 1:00.

[ConferenceRoom 6,147]

I like 13, but 2 with traditional Sunday pin is pretty good.

parking your chair on the rope at 13 green just short of the creek keeps you close to 14th tee, 15th green, 16, 12, 11th green, 4, 3rd green, the hill under the 6th, and the restroom and concessions

 

[CycleTex87 2,991]

I particularly enjoy watching the Amen Corner feed the first two days of the tournament.  12 is such a precise shot, it may be the toughest shot in golf, even more than 17 at The Players.  

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Jordan’s round this morning…

 

[4th&Five 41,619]

Looks like another MC...really rounding into form for Augusta!

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Yep. Don’t think +1 is going to make it. Afternoon would have to be brutal to get it there. Even may not be in, either.

 

[TonyTexas 10,537]

It’s no wonder Scottie is so good. His distance control is unreal. And he’s not even hitting his own dialed-in clubs. 

 

[thunderlounge 7,980]

The only Malnati I’ve heard of is Lou, but props to him for using the yellow ball. Way easier to see on TV in the air.

Other than that, good thing Cink is playing, else I don’t think I’d recognize any names in the top 9 other than Cam Young.

Hope Glover and JT are playing well... 

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Last I saw, about an hour or so ago, JT was -4 and not up to snuff. 
 

He may have turned that  around, I think he was on 5 or 6 at that point. 

[YGIFS 19,453]

Is cheating at golf considered bad form?  

[msucolt45 4,103]

Jordan Spieth just committed to play in next weeks Valero Texas Open. Very solid field this year.

Other notable commitments: McIlroy, Conners (2x winner of VTO), Fitzpatrick, Fleetwood, Fowler, Harman, Homa, Morikawa, Ludwig Aberg, Matsuyama, and Adam Scott. Players have until 3/29 to commit.

Hook’em!!!

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Scottie is -2 -> 8*

 

Leaders at -4, for now.

[thunderlounge 7,980]

[4th&Five 41,619]

On TV it looks and sounds like nobody is out there. 

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Scottie’s featured group coverage starts at 3 today. 

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Scottie just hit off 1. His group is currently being shown under Clark’s group, who just finished. 
 

Why they couldn’t start it under Scottie’s group, who knows. 
 

He’s 4 back, with Finau smoking it and just turned in a 62 to hit -9.

 

[Jimbaround 975]

I went out with the kids today and there were pretty good crowds following the bigger names.

Weather was great as a spectator; wind is blowing for the players though.

[thunderlounge 7,980]

[Dilligas 666]

Scotty lips out 2 on 18 to drop 2 strokes 😳

[4th&Five 41,619]

Lulz at Scottie’s shot rolling back into the water there. Kinda silly.

Even the masters food shipped to your door is reasonably priced. I don't have a need to feed 14 people, but I could see ordering that if I was hosting a final day shindig. Might suck, but I'd roll the dice. 

[JGrayDBU 345]

playoffs today?

[cactusflinthead 27,609]

Man what a shot

[Pam Cummings 9,689]

Anyone else hope the Tosti era is over?

[dieucla98 2,942]

He makes Patrick Reed look huggable.

[thunderlounge 7,980]

Not that most people could get their arms around him, or want to even try. 

[4th&Five 41,619]

JT and Bones split.

[Jive Turkey 12,673]

Bones sees the writing on the wall.  JT is finished.  he's just not a serious threat anymore.  hope Bones goes back to on course reporting full-time.  he's fantastic.
