Masters 2017 thread

Past champion Schwartzel 40/1 is only four shots back and I fancy Hoffman to run leaders close as well.

E/W on those I think to make it even more of a spectacle tonight.

Well done Sergio (and Charl) 😊

What a tremendous finish. Made up for Sergio. Even had a couple of quid on him @ 6s yesterday morning

now to pick up the worst trophy in sport

And a nice £50 return off a £1.00 e/w bet, cheers Sergio :cheers:

One things for sure next year i'm backing the winner in Dubai for the Masters;
2016 Willett
2017 Garcia

Been a long time coming. I was there when he won his first pro tournament. Been a favourite of mine and my father ever since.


Well done Sergio. He would wreak your nerves with a putter in his hands.

On Seve's birthday too , you couldn't write a better ending :whoo:

 

[MegaSteve]

As good as it gets...

 

[Jimaroid]

I had Pieters each way, netting me a whopping £28. Without that I'd have made a loss.

 

[Dasit]

Wondering people's thoughts on Sergio moving his ball in the pine straw after the drop.

I thought it moved.

 

[grumpyjock]

What a finish, had JR to finish in the top 5 . £1 ew bet.
Tired now and have to be up at 5 for work.
Why are we all golf fanatics?

 

[Slab]

Well that was well worth losing sleep for

I doubt there's anyone that'll grudge him the win (unless you put your house on Rose)

And Willett looking really really pleased for him when putting the jacket on

Great entertainment with the fans rooting for both

Shame its dark o'clock before they do the jacket thing outdoors meaning most fans have gone

Almost immediately after they showed the clip on BBC it was stated that the Committee had viewed the footage and declared No Penalty.
That's all you need...

Pure Class from both players

This is quality from Rose

Congrats @TheSergioGarcia
Incredible battle out there. Sport in the moment can be tough. But it's just sport. Hope you guys enjoyed it.


Enjoyable last day - great battle between the two

Also sad to see it's Hazel Irvines last Masters for BBC - she has been a wonderful host

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Hate to say it but Westy and Garcia aint got what it takes to win a major.

You were saying...

Brilliant from Rose keeping things in perspective and no doubt he was happy for Garcia. They both played their part in what was a very memorable Masters in the end.

It is sad that Hazel is leaving, agreed she has been superb. Hopefully she will still continue with the snooker.

Yeah I was waiting for that one I was wrong
Re Garcias ball moving,indeed the committee did deem that his ball didnt move in the pine straw but it did,if you pick a fixed point above the ball you can clearly see the logo drop down,as for the camera moving again fixed points around the edge of the frame show the camera doesent move.I can understand the Augusta committee deeming that there be no penalty as the match was just too good to mess up also after the farce with Lexi Thompson they didnt want any repeats of that.

Great golf made even better by the fact that my bets started the last day in the first three spots, Ricky Fowler collapsed big time but it was great going to the play off with Garcia at 40/1 and Rose at 25/1 E/W, money in the bank :whoo:

 

[Crazyface]

OMG my heart was racing from the first putts on the 18th 'till Sergio dropped the putt to win. 74 attempts and you could see just what it meant. I'd be on a lap of honour round the crowd!!!!!! Dead chuffed for the lad!!

 

[Wilson]

Incredible golf yesterday, great theatre, and nothing better than seeing two players going head-to-head down the stretch.

Really pleased for Sergio, I thought the crowd chanting his name was a nice touch, not something I've ever heard an Augusta crowd do before.

 

[pokerjoke]

Fantastic finish from both players and great respect between them both.

Really pleased for Sergio as I would have hated to see him go his whole career without a major.

One thing I did notice yesterday more than other days is how long he is off the tee time and time again longer than Justin.

Also really like the way Augusta sets up on the back nine with all the risk and reward holes makes for great drama.

I did think that Sergio would have been a bit more emotional though I mean Rahm cried after 4 putting.
