Masters 2020

Post 830 ?

Rory at the start of the year was cruising in lovely form, highly consistent and was looking very nicely and think his whole start was geared up to being prime form coming into the Masters - it potentially would have helped his Thursdays form - but lockdown appeared to knock him as since then he hasn’t had any sort of form at all so coming into Thursday he just looked way off and it took him 20 holes to get going .

With the next Masters only 5 months away it’s a chance for him to go again quickly.

There is no doubt he will be trying everything he can and I certainly hope to see him win further majors

You must have missed his interview Thursday where he said he felt fantastic and his form was brilliant especially in the practice rounds.

How does the green jacket ceremony work this year? Hopefully tiger just chucks it at him or dangles it from the end of his SIM

It's America. Tiger will slip it on him, bump fists. The club chairman will shake his hand, stand right next to him for the photo. I could be wrong but.......................

I do like the idea of dangling the jacket on the end of a driver ?

I'd rather see them going for shots trying to win, even if it doesn't come off.

I'm not sure i'd want to miss out on a x hundred thousand dollars.

Had anyone heard DJ shout / groan 'mudball'? ?

He must be using specially coated golf balls.

I have a new theory about Rory, he goes into majors saying he’s relaxed, isn’t focusing on the outcome or records and only thinking about things one shot at a time. It’s classic sports psychology thinking. He starts in this relaxed mental state but maybe that’s not best for him - his big wins came from his carefree days, before his head was polluted with the “staying in the moment” mentality. He’s a scrapper and when he’s fighting for something he’s great but when he’s relaxed he makes constant errors. I think the pattern of poor Thursdays and a solid fightback may be a symptom of him trying harder to not try as hard.

Great up and down by Im to reduce the gap to just 5. Processional now and not been a classic Masters Sunday but you can't knock what he's done

4 up the last for all 4 rounds in the 60s, and not a chance of winning

Fair play to both Im and Smith, both have had excellent weeks, but run into DJ in form that no one could touch. Both have stayed strong on Sunday rather than wilting in the chase too which bodes well for their futures

As for DJ, hats off sir, best player in the world currently and just too good for a world class field. Monkey off his back, every chance he wins a few more in a streak for me now.

At least Tiger will get his 10 cut to 5 on his WHS handicap (I guess he doesn't get a shot there) ??

4 up the last for all 4 rounds in the 60s, and not a chance of winning

Mischievously hoping he bogeys the last so the record stays intact.....

Only remaining interest is if Cameron Smith can become the first player to shoot 4 rounds in the 60's.

Congratulations DJ.

youll have people mischievously hoping DJ makes a birdie up 18

 

[USER1999]

So, will DJ go back to back in April, and become the first to book end the same major?

 

[USER1999]

Each post-round NLU podcast I've listened to this week (the following morning), they always say they're "live".
Where can we hear it live?

Thanks ?

I think it's on a subscription patreon type feed. Could be wrong.

Congratulations DJ.

He has, and looked very good doing so
