How on earth does a 14 year old shoot 73 round Augusta - hats off to you young man

Especially when you consider how 'short' he is off the tee compared to the rest of the field. Was very impressed with him and how he handled himself. Just hope there isn't a media fanfare after the tourney so he can focus on his development...

He's moaning, saying the greens were too soft! Looked fast from my viewpoint although we did see more short putts than normal so......

I doubt he's referring to the speed so much as the fact they were receptive. Receptive greens bring a lot more players into contention (but then I haven't seen his interview so may be wrong)

This is where he might struggle if they dry the greens out. He's coming in with such long clubs he could find himself in some awkward spots. Part of me hopes they don't dry them too much as I'd love to see him make the cut. What he did yesterday has to go down as one of the best rounds in masters history

Great first days viewing and nice to see a number of the players we felt would be in contention this week playing well. I know there will be a lot of people who will be pleased to see Garcia up there in the lead, I am not one of them though and I don't see him winning this week, for me he chucks the towel when the going gets tough in majors far too often and the fact is that he has made a score of 75 or higher at every masters appearance he has made which is a worry for his backers. I may be proved wrong I expect to see Sergio chuck in a stinker of a round on at least one of the next 3 days and give up on his game as a result, which is something we have seen him do far too often

Amazing yes, was 14/1 to make the cut - has to have a squeak now

cut is raised to top 50 and ties, plus they have the 10 shot rule as well. good chance 90% of the field will make the cut. Shame about the +10 from our Amateur champ

The 14 yr old Chinese lad - is that 14 Chinese years? Call me cynical if you like but the Chinese have been know to be somewhat free and easy with the ages of their athletes in the past.

Cynical? NEVER!.....................It was obvious the Chinese had developed a special ball with magnets inside. Before it started, they had strategically placed other magnets on the greens. They would only need to activate the right magnets to draw the ball closer to the hole.
A +1 score was decided so the cynics wouldn't question the achievement much.

ps: I have proof, t'internet never lies :mmm:

The weather looks like its going to play a huge factor today. I will wager now, that 33 players will not go under par today.. Looks windy, potential rain. i would rather play late today as the forecast is for it to improve late.
