Is it just me but wouldn’t she be a breath of fresh air compared with old Stirky?

Mod note, title has been edited , originally Cara Lane....??

I'm afraid I found her interviews at The Masters to be nothing much more than a series of banal questions.

I accept that it isn't easy these days with pro's reluctant to offer much more than stock comments but there is no need for the interviewer to serve up one dolly after another.

Completely agree.

When interviewing Woods after his 10 she didn’t even mention it.

I wonder if one of the men in green jackets that oversee the media area probably suggested it wouldn't be the done thing and the same reason all of the questioning was banal. Not sure who the female commentator was in the ET coverage but not sure she really brought too much to the table, Better to let Boxall and Johnstone do it between them. They definitely have a natural rapport

I think The Masters is very tightly managed by the green jackets. Remember Gary McCord who got booted for some remarks on TV commentary? I assume that part of it was also the very restricted press access and the need for someone who was probably doubling up for US coverage which is much more bland and deferential.

What questions exactly do you all think a golfer should be asked after their round of golf in a golf interview at the golf course?
?

Tiger is obviously ageing and slightly struggling, yeah he scored an unlucky 10, I think the term "out of respect" comes to mind when being magnanimous enough to overlook that when he agrees to answer a few questions when he could easily swerve the interviews.

Well, if the interview is only intended to stroke his ego, not really much point, nor showing much real respect. Football managers get asked about losses or missed chances. Was his 10 "unlucky"? How many pieces of unluck were there? US golf interviews tend to be rather soft, and most of the players aren't worth listening to.
 
She’s relatively new and finding her way with the top names.

Be really good for her career if she hacked Tiger off and he refuses to do interviews with her.

Btw was good to see Tiger a bit more laid back and smiling ?
 
Amanda Balionis did an interview with Tiger and asked him about the 10 on 12 I’ve seen it. Tiger was fine with it and answered with a smile on his face. Maybe this was before the interview with Cara Banks and the green jacket brigade said don’t ask him that again when it was Cara’s turn.

She didn't need to do a forensic dissection of each shot on the 12th, but even acknowledging the elephant in the room by saying 'Can you tell us what it felt like to bounce back so strongly after 12?' would have acknowledged it.
 
Tiger's 10 had to be asked about. It was the story of The Masters for a short period, what his round and perhaps tournament will be remembered for. For the question not to be asked surely had to be about Augusta National restricting the interviewers. If not......you are in the wrong job.

Cara Banks was uber slick in that American style of gently lobbed questions which seem to be standard over there, she has worked in America for a good few years now. Slightly different role to Sara Stirk who is more European based, it seems, where as Cara Banks is very much embedded in Orlando by all accounts. Stirk performs the studio holding role a little more now rather than post round interviews.

She may just have been freelanced in for The Masters?
