The Masters

[ADS]

A 70 for Tiger in the first round isn't too bad. Sergio Garcia starts out pretty hot.

[QMany]

Should have been 68 for Tiger. 70 isn't bad at all.

 

3 of his 4 Masters titles have started with opening round 70.

Been watching the 14 year old kid from China, Tianlang Guan. He is a golf freak. +2 for the day--even par on the back nine. He could easily be the low amateur this year. 14 freaking years old. Wow.

 

Edit: Correction--he sinks a putt from the fringe on the 18th to finish +1. Played the back nine in one under. Wow, just wow.

[Omaha-Husker]

Can't wait to watch Phil tomorrow. He just said he will get really aggressive tomorrow morning, glad I have the day off.

I'm pulling for Freddy, always do, as that's who I grew up idolizing. Hoping to get to Omaha for the Senior US open.

Come on Freddy!!!

Y'all aren't rooting for Tianlang Guan?

Have always been a Couples fan. But yeah, what that young man is doing is bananas.

On a side note, why can't they get the Masters coverage right. Start the broadcast in the morning. This is why the US open is better to watch.

Building I work in has a gym. The guy that runs it said that Tiger & Lindsay Vonn showed up this morning and worked out. They go to a different one in the area everyday so noone will be there waiting on them.

He was assessed a one-stroke penalty for slow play...

Im ok with this. The only excuse for slow play is if you run out of beer and the beer cart girl is smokin hot!

 

Side note- probably didn't help the young man having to wait for old man Ben Crenshaw to swing 84 times today.

What's the cut line going to be?

 

 

EDIT: Never mind. Projected cut is +5

I bet it finishes at +4. So the 14 yo will make it.

Projected cut now +4. They upped the number of players making the cut this year. It used to be top 44 and ties. Now it's top 50 plus ties. But they also take anyone within 10 strokes of the lead.

 

Right now the top 50 and ties would put the cut line at +3 so if someone makes a move below -6, the cut line could easily move to +3.

[RedRedJarvisRedwine]

Yeah. Quite a few of the guys inside +3 still have 10 plus holes left. I look for enough to drop out and make the cut +4. Btw. Tiger could play hell with the 10 stroke rule. He might just shoot 67 today for a -7. My guy Freddie Couples is killin it. Look for him to be near the lead all weekend.

[RedRedJarvisRedwine]

I get annoyed at the media for forcing a Rickie Fowler and Rory McElroy comparison. They aren't on the same level. Can Rickie win a major someday? Absolutely. But he reminds me of Mark Calcaveccia in that if they get hot, look out. They both have the ability to string birdies like crazy. On the other hand, they both have a way of going full retard as soon as their name gets on the front page of the leaderboard. As far as Fowler v. McElroy. One guy is gonna win 10majors and the other guys name is Rickie.

 

Thy tries this crap when Sergio almost beat tiger one year. Sergio < Tigers B game
