Masters 2020

Classic Rory scraping something back but too little too late. Infuriating player to watch, no consistency. I respect his laissez faire attitude but also gaaahhhhhh sort it out you numpty.

Sorry wasn't trying to be arsey?
All the tours are basically playing as normal since they restarted, but they are living and mixing (or not mixing) under extremely closed and strict conditions.

Most of the time they can't leave the hotel, they can only sit and eat with their caddy, etc etc.

All the players, caddies, officials etc "in the bubble" are tested daily, the caddies often carry wipes when they handle the flag.

It probably looks a bit slack to casual viewers but it's been really strict. There's been a few players during the season, men and women, who have actually withdrawn and gone home rather than live under the restrictions week in week out.

A lot of that isn't true of the US Tour though it is on the European tours (mens and ladies). Bit like football US golf isn't really a bubble - though they are very careful around the tour venues.

Didn't deserve to treble that. Think he'll come good and still make the cut though.

He did though.
He must have seen how soft it was there during practice rounds.
He chose to play it knowing that.
Then he knifed his second ball over the green
A triple was always on the cards .
Asking if the cameras saw where it went is an advantage to the ones on blanket coverage and not others down the field.
It shouldn’t be allowed imo of course.
 
No idea what the App was doing for BDC 3rd hole

2 over now - going to have to go some to make the cut


For his drive on 2 he took just over 1 minute to play the shot - shockingly slow and makes Cantley look quick DB2BC645-6DC0-4B89-A23D-E6AF1DD3207E.jpeg
 
Anyone noticed that there are 4 English golfers at -7 just 2 off the lead?

Not heard a single mention of that on here or am I following a different tournament?

He was three yards off the fairway. Hardly in the bundai. There were people down there as well and it looks like he landed in a wet bit that was about 4 sq ft in size. Very unlucky.
And yes I agree. Asking for camera help is not on IMO

His ball got lost just in the rough, only slightly off the fairway.
Of course he didn't deserve to lose it.

I never said he deserved to lose it.
He took on a risk and reward shot that he got wrong , he was unlucky.
But read what I said. And what I answered!
He got a 7 because he took it on and paid the price.
But his 7 was because he knifed his fourth over the green.

He got a 7 because he knifed his fourth over the green.
He was unlucky with his drive that’s golf.
But the way he plays that is on the cards if you can’t see the ball land.

Not sure I follow the logic. He got a 7 because he lost his ball. If he didn't lose it he would have got a 5, would he not?

If he hadn’t knifed his fourth he would have scored better.
Great players don’t compound one mistake after another.
If he chipped on and sank his putt he would have got a five ,but he didn’t.
He lost his head a bit because he was unlucky with his original ball.
 
DeChambeu all over the place at the moment -just looks in pain mentally, on the opposite scale Rahm looks very solid

You've obviously never heard of the catastrophe theory. As it happens DeChambeau is currently a sports psychologist's wet dream.
