The Masters 2018

Wow! This is incredible from Reed, there's plenty of holes still to go but I'd be happy to see him win. I like him. :)
 
Feel a bit sorry for Leishman. Had so many that have gone close but none have dropped, and playing alongside Reed can't be helping.
 
Just my opinion but I hope everyone remembers it is the Masters this week and the Ryder cup later this year.
Rory been a mix of riding his luck and brilliance today. I'll he rooting for him, but wouldn't begrudge Reed if he puts in anither gutsy performance. He plays a similar style of aggressive golf IMO.
 
Great third day, compelling viewing, Reed will have to be at his best to hold off Rory, even with a 3 shot lead.

Few players nearby could also take a run at him.

Hopefully it’ll be a classic final day.
 
Yeah that Saturday was fantastic. Apparently nobody has ever got all four rounds under 70 at the Masters, so on that basis Reed is due a last round of 71 I reckon! I bet on Bubba but he's probably too far back. So I'll be rooting for Rory I reckon. Wouldn't mind at all if he won it.
 
Almost, but not quite, a two horse race now?

If l were a betting man, l think I'd be putting money on Rory. (Ooops, just remembered, l already did:):) ) And Tommy Fleetwood set the pulse racing for a while but l fear he's too far back now. But at 55/1 each way, he could still earn me a few bob.
 
I'm not understanding the dislike for Reed. I know he was pumped during the Ryder Cup but then look at Poulter, McIlroy etc. I don't think he has ever overstepped the mark. I didn't like him winning but I enjoyed watching him play.

He has come across and played in European tournaments, not many top Americans do that. When interviewed he is incredibly polite and answers well.

What's the issue?

He has a history of behaving badly, especially when in college.

He also use ADHD medication under a TUE. So the Bradley Wiggins of golf. Acts to calm nerves and anxiety... Can't believe he doesn't get questioned more for it, but the septics are a bit more relaxed about these things as long as one of their own is winning. And the standard of investigative golf journalism is not so high...
 
Bit harsh holding college life against him. He has clearly grown up a lot since then. His behaviour since he came to the fore has always seemed very good.

As for the medication I can't really comment as I don't know about any condition he may have.

Agreed. Im assuming that everyone holding his college life against him behaved like an absolute saint the whole time they were at college/uni? Thought so!

As for drugs to calm players down, there have been rumours for many years that they are absolutely rife in golf at all levels.

True enough. But he's the only one documented as using them as far as I know. Mind you, an awful lot of players missed the Olympics...(which is where this came from).
 
It's Reed's to lose.
Looking at how he's played somfar this week, there's nothing to suggest he's not going to shoot another under par round.
If he shoots in the 60s again the Rory has to fire another low one just to make a playoff.
And that means Rory has to push, especially if there's still a gap coming tongue back 9.
Once you start pushing it's easier to make mistakes.
Much as I'd like Rory to commit, I'm thinking Reed will just have enough.

Exactly!

As fa'r as you know. And that is based upon a "lea" from a Russian propaganda/false news website that also threw mud at Farah and Nadal amongst others.

Plus there's no evidence to show that the drug in question would have beneficial effects upon the performance of a golfer.

Let's at least see some conclusive evidence before condemning.

ill admit to not liking him.

however someone said to me last night - if he was European you’d love him.

To be honest, he’s correct
