Masters 2023

It's going to be a late one

It's good that it's become a 2-3 horse race. Much better than a parade

This bollocks is creeping in to most sports. Complete nonsense stats to make them sound smart. xG in football is the main one that rips my knitting. Expected goals don't win games, ACTUAL goals do.
Saw someone eulogising about Chelsea having 1.57 xG to Wolves 0.53 xG... Aye, very good, Wolves won 1-0, they get the three points. Chelsea get bumpkiss for their superior xG.

Anyways, to the golf, straight shoot out between Rahm and Koepka for me, think Hovland's sphincter will start to wobble (despite that excellent par save on the 1st) around 6-8 holes in.

And there it goes, right on cue.

And there it goes

Was just about to come on and say you were right. Shame, I quite like Hovland.

Do you have the lottery numbers?

This guy knows his Hovland!

I like Viktor too but he just seems too edgy. You can see his legs often go like laccy bands when he gets nervous.

Like how Rahm is keeping calm, normally he’s moaning like a good un, but today doesn’t want to show any mental weakness to Brookes.

Is that a race track I can hear in the background? Sort of belies the cathedral type serenity of Augusta National.

On TV Augusta looks like an enormous estate in a rural setting.
On Google maps it's a tight 18 with busy roads around it

Spieth and Mickelson has been a decent group. I certainly wasn't expecting that form from Mickelson

Koepka really seems to be struggling playing this 4th round of golf for some reason...

Is it really 4 rounds tho? He basically played most of it in 3 days with these stops lol should suit him

He’s probably confused as to why he didn’t get the trophy earlier today

Well as we are currently watching the “4th” round then yes it is really 4 rounds

As you drive by one of the entrances the only giveaway that you’re passing ANGC is a six foot high gate in Augusta green with a tiny golf club emblem on it.

We drove by 20-odd years ago en route to Atlanta and, if you didn’t know the club was there, there is very little to give you a clue. The surrounding area is just not what you expect at all.

I watched a fair bit of the amateur Bennett in the 3rd round. Obviously having a great tournament but didn't look like someone to speed up the tour when he joins

 

[BrianM]

Tight Margins, but a lot of golf to be played yet.

Apologises Phil I forgot your sense of humour had a failure about 3 decades ago

There has been some particularly poor putting this week. I can’t recall seeing so many six footers missed at a Masters.

Scheffler’s putting has been especially grim all week.

Scottie doesn't know...
