Masters 2020

[sunshine]

I’m guessing the greens will speed up during the day. They won’t want DJ obliterating the scoring record.

DJ hit all 14 fairways yesterday which was a tremendous example of leading from the front and taking the competition away from the field. His to lose today, but I think it will be a procession. The heavyweights in the chasing pack are too far back to pressure him, except for JT maybe.

Shame someone like Tiger is not breathing down his neck to make it more interesting. Talking of Tiger, I think he’s played so much better than he’s scored this week. He hasn’t holed a thing. Could easily be 6 shots better for R2 and R3 with a hot putter.

How many major chokes has Johnson had when leading Rd 4 in a major? I remember Sandwich 2011 when Clarke won, a shank I think, any others?
Confident he'll win by a few today, doesn't need to push, just fairways and greens and pick up a few on the par 5s.

Surely the most memorable was Pebble Beach in 2010. Went into the final round with a 3-shot lead and dropped 5 shots in the first three holes. It was painful to watch.

A different DJ these days, methinks.

Back left position is boring, funnels in so the hole in one is a strong posibility

So a hole in one is boring? Read back what you have written cos it sounds ridiculous

Of course, remember sort of celebrating, just so Gmac could benefit.

5/6 times he has led going into the final round of a major - not once has he gone on to win - 2011 he went OOB on 13th

His only major win he came from 4 shots back to win - when he was also penalised for ball moving

Of course not but there is a strong possibility of multiple holes in one due to the way the slope feeds to the hole....

Pitch in the right yardage on various lines and in she goes.

Personally, I have loved watching the Masters this year. The course looks amazing with the autumn colours, the views have been opened up without the galleries, and we’ve been able to enjoy some new camera angles which have hugely helped us understand the contours.

True, the atmosphere is more subdued without the energy of the crowd, but this is golf not football, it’s no big deal.

You gotta love the skill with which these guys can gob
That's not something that you're born with, that's a learned practiced skill
Well done lads ??

Think I might quite enjoy todays play as hopefully there will be a bit less TW and BDC

DJ already showing the early sprouts of a bottlejob. Cam Smith seems to be the main challenger at the moment. Classy player.

Harsh critic if this is a bottlejob at this stage......

? Butch's comment "some days you're the windshield, and some days you're the bug"
Quality.

Shamelessly stolen from Mark Knopfler;

Unless Knopfler stole it from someone else...

Rory looking good for yet another top10 to add to the stats.

I bet it'll be top 5 In the end.

Rancid coverage as usual.

DJ definitely nervous, duffs one pitch into a bunker, then stiffs it, then almost thins a pitch on 3 but holes it for birdie ?...

It's not over yet, but after that birdie on 3 I think he'll settle down and walk it now.

Yeah he's making hard work of it, but recovering very well each time it has to be said.
