Unless Woodland knows the loft of Koepkaās 5 iron, and how much of a āfull shotā he hit, and how far he hits a 5 iron, I canāt really see how Koepkaās club selection is relevant to Woodland or his caddy.
They clearly indicated what club was used but I still wouldnāt consider that to give any real help to Woodland.
If he said āwe played it as X yardsā then yes, that helps.
Do they put their fingers in their ears on par 3 tees to avoid hearing what their playing partners are using?

To be honest no player/caddy chat is particularly covert... How often do we hear their chats on TV, so to think that their competitors standing a few feet away can't hear would be naive.
The cynic in me wonders if this particular occasion blew up due to the leader of the event playing for a particular tour...

Finding this a very dull watch tonight compared to last night. Just hoping Rahm remembers how to play.

Plus side of Rory going out Is itāll give my EW bets an extra spot as I was concerned heād do the typical Sunday run through the field and cost me
Maybe Greg should give him a cheeky text .. remind him he could play without a cut for good money

Brooks is playing at a level above everyone else so far. Can he maintain it? What about the fourth round? He's a different animal in this form & I don't think he'll be caught.

Reports no one has been hurt, which having just seen a video of one of the trees coming down is mighty good news!

Sandy Lyle at +19 makes a mockery of former champions getting lifetime exemptions. What's the point of him being there more than 30 shots off the lead? It's a bit like Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe getting an invite to play at Wimbledon just because they won it many years ago when they were good.

Why not tho? They don't kick anyone else out so not like their costing someone else a valid place
Couples is 63 and on plus 1 at the moment for the tournament
4 shots ahead than the number 2 golfer in world finished
I think it's brilliant, it's up to them aswell, faldo doesn't do it but if at any point he decided yeah I'm gonna give a go for the craic would be great to see

Each to their own, but I watch professional golf to see the best players in the world competing, not to watch some washed up has-been hack it round a golf course. The Masters is meant to be one of the top 4 tournaments in the world but they let in any former winner that wants to play. I've no problem with an exemption for past winners but in my opinion they should limit it to 5 or 10 years. If Lyle wants to continue playing then that's what the seniors tour is for.

But thatās part of the enigma of the tournament. Iāve no issue with it.

Yet it's no affect to the event at all. He can play either way and it doesn't stop someone else so him being there if he hacks it round doesn't overly matter
How much have we seen of him being so far behind?

How can anyone take issue with watching Fred Couples? What an absolute boss.
Faldoās been great, not sure iāve always liked him too much, but his insight has been fantastic and heās been on top form.

Faldo is pissed here
If Lyle wasn't there, or Larry Mize for that matter, then they could invite two others who might actually compete.
Having past champions play for ever more is either part if the charm or an embarrassment/weakness of the tournament. Take your pick as to your view.
They don't take anyone else's spot so it makes no difference. Freddie cCouples has just outplayed Rory and many others.....

That's completely not the case
If those two turn down the invites they don't invite a single other person because if it.
It's a common misconception that it costs anyone a place
