Halloween Land Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Will anyone be watching this years Masters Tournament? Any predictions? I would love to see Phil win but I would be shocked if he did. My top picks are Bryson Deshambeau, Patrick Cantley, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707BillsFan Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Definitely will watch, just gotta etch out some time to sit in front of the TV to do that (golfing Thu, hiking Fri...so weekend is best bet). Definitely not a Phil fan, but I'm hoping DJ or Xander wins. I think someone like Tyrrell Hatton will win though. It looks like the weather is going to be ugly, so I think a Euro that's used to playing in the rain will take the Green Jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm in a pool (for entertainment purposes only) and I took Fairway Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Will definitely be watching. Thankfully the Bills have the late afternoon game Sunday, unless there's a playoff the Masters will be over before kickoff. My pool picks are DeChambeau, DJ, Oosthuizen, Rahm, and Wolff. Best 4 scores win the pool, if 2 of your picks miss cut you're out. Pool is for fun, Bragging rights only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The Masters will look so different without the patrons. Xander and DJ are my picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, maybe he can pull one out of his ass. Or a really long shot, Fred. The course won't look like we are used to at all, way different time of the year. It'll probably look kind of bland. I'll catch what I can before the Bills game, have to show up at work the next 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different for sure, and maybe in some ways better. We were lucky enough to go on a Thursday a few years ago. I found myself wishing we’d hit a practice round instead if it meant fewer people. Every year friends in Hilton Head, SC would make the trip before the tournament started. I’m sure they got a better look at the course than when it’s more crowded. (I also suspect there was less of a draw back then.) The golf is great, but the grounds are just unbelievable. Television does NOT do it justice. I’ll miss the azaleas blooming. The Masters is a rite of spring, so this will be..........weird. . Edited November 11, 2020 by Augie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I backed Patrick Reed @ 28/1. My logic? 2020 is a giant cesspool of horror so it seems apt that the guy to win the Masters is someone that most people can't stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the late 1970s and early 1980s my mom and step father attended the par three tournament and they said the same thing about television. TV does not do the grounds justice with all the beauty and all the terrain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBillsFan Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I watched a little yesterday and will continue to throughout the weekend. Course looks incredible as always. The fall colors don't bother me as much as the lack of "patrons." I know the rain made it a little hard to manage but I don't like when courses, especially majors, play easy. I am sure the course will get tougher as it dries out but I don't want the winning score to be -20. (This was discussed in a different thread somewhere. On a side note, I know the equipment and players are better, but I think the PGA likes it when scoring is better. Going the way of the MLB, NFL, and NHL.) I threw some money on Webb Simpson, Kevin Kisner, and Lanto Griffin to win. Webb doing good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I am enjoying the camera shots from the drone ESPN / CBS is using. The drone can capture angles the blimp can not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I need some wind. This is way too easy right now. Soft course, no gallery to put pressure on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrW Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Amazing that a 63 year old will make the cut - Bernhard Langer (-3). He won his first Masters 35 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I think DJ puts up another under 70 today and seals the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
