T&C Posted April 10 Posted April 10 ⛳ Who do you like? Going with Phil even though the odds are pretty low. But, that's why we watch. https://www.masters.com/en_US/tournament/schedule.html Quote
Augie Posted April 10 Posted April 10 I’ll take Jon Rahm. 🤷♂️ Walking that course a few years ago on a Thursday was surreal. I recently saw they play the women’s amateur tournament there or something (no sound in a bar for lunch). THAT would be the way I’d like to see that course, with fewer people. Yeah, it was cool when Tiger walked past with the crowd and energy, but the magic is in the golf course. Television does not begin to convey the extreme topography. It’s much more than tricky greens. 1 Quote

Pretty sure it's going to be delayed so a Sunday finish could be a little dicey. Have never been there but yeah I'm sure it's a small paradise in person. Closest I ever got was being stationed at Ft. Gordon lol. "According to Weather.com, Thursday calls for morning thunderstorms, a 100 percent chance of rain and winds hovering between 15 and 25 mph, including the potential for strong gusty winds in the Augusta, Ga., area. The hour-by-hour forecast says there’s about a 50 percent chance of showers beginning around midnight on Wednesday. The chance of rain slowly increases on Thursday morning, with the forecast escalating to thunderstorms and a 99 percent chance of rain by 5 a.m. Thursday. Thunderstorms, a strong chance of rain and wind around 16-18 mph are present until about 11 a.m., when the forecast begins to improve. After 2 p.m., the rest of the day will be partly cloudy, with little chance of rain and winds around 17 mph." https://golf.com/news/masters-weather-thursday-storm-threatens-delay/ Quote

stuvian Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hard to bet against Sheffler but thinking Wyndham Clark could challenge. Longshot favourite is Fleetwood Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I’m going with Fowler …. I mean, he’s got to win something at some point, right?? 😂 1 Quote

Augie Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Did anybody else see Tiger get sandblasted in the face a while ago? That was pretty funny with the wind trying to empty that bunker! 😂 That is basically our weather and the HOA sent landscape crews to get all the fallen branches out of everyone’s yard. I can’t IMAGINE golfing in that, but they are the best of the best. Quote

Growing up in Buffalo I remember telling my mother “I HATE WIND!” Okay, I was young, but I had a point. Rain, cold and snow don’t mess up every sport! Try to shoot hoops, play tennis or throw a frisbee in a nasty wind! It can become comical! 1 Quote

Projected cut keeps going up, I would say due to the wind=rotten scores... it's at +5 now. My man Phil is done for the day at +3 so he should be playing this weekend. 1 Quote
