Well do us a favour.

Knock the telly off and walk the dog or somthing.

I think you are watching a different programme to me

Don’t like what I post then just ignore it pal - no one is forcing you to read it - there is an ignore function - learn to use it then won’t have to read post of you whinging about what other people are posting

Patrick Reed just the player to wake up the crowd - got the short game and putting well at the moment to get a good run of birdies going.

Terribly played hole by Woods but another huge save. He needs to really get to work on the par fives but an eagle and birdie and he'll be in touching distance. You can really see how the greens are speeding up. A lot of really tough putts from long range being faced and most doing a great job of getting close. Would love to see Stenson rattle a couple of birdies and get up towards the very top of the leaderboard

Question needs to be asked why Nick Dougherty is not working the masters but that useless blonde is.

Someone smashing it.

Big cat having a dip again, could be game over

Woods wet again at 12 for second day. Looks decidedly out of sorts with his game this week compared to what he's done in recent weeks. I wonder if the amount of golf he's played recently has caught up with him and his body and he's a little physically (if not mentally) tired. That said, some pitch to drop just one

Some shot from Bubba!

Or is it his overall game just isn't good enough or consistent enough now over 4 days to win a major? I think a little bit of everything.

I've said on here I personally don't think he'll win another major and so I agree he probably isn't good enough or consistent enough. Perhaps the recent results flattered to deceive

Exactly that - he is prob at a level where he can challenge for you weekly tour title but a major is just a step up and don’t believe Woods can make that step up - he is battling like mad but miles away

Probably trying to hard, needs to regain some patience I think especially around Augusta.

How is it any different?

Golf course? 72 holes? Stroke play.

He's won a few in his time.

No dig Phil, just looking to understand the logic.

Needs to stop dropping shots as he's on the projected cut line. Am I right in thinking he still hasn't birdied a par five yet?

Course set up is massively different , longer , tougher , greens quicker , pins in different positions , rough thicker and longer

The course set up for majors are vastly different compared to your average weekly tour event

And his last win was over a decade ago before all his major injuries

Didnt you state that you didn’t think that the Masters should be a major?
So surely that would make it a weekly tour event.
Also no dig Phil.

Isn't the course 'set up' diffetent/more difficult for everyone playing? Tougher, longer etc.

As they say you play the course in front of you.

Didn't people start writing Nicklaus off before he won again.

FWIW I agree with you regarding Tiger. Just not sure about the logic :thup:

 

[Pin-seeker]

I’d have a nervous breakdown on these greens.

Yes it is set up the same for everyone ? Not sure what that is meaning

When it comes to the majors the very best can step up their game and rise to the top - loads of PGA players win on the main tour but the majors are won by the very best in the main - there will be players who can win on the tour but will never be good enough to win a major - just look at players like Donald , Westwood etc - multiple winners on tours but just fall short in a major

Nicklaus was written off but he didn’t go through the same sort of injury history that Woods has

 

[HomerJSimpson]

But how different is it really in terms of distance to some of the other tour events. Certainly no thick rough to contend with and not like Woods doesn't have the experience on these greens. I'd say given it's the same layout every year it really doesn't differ from other events with the exception of the contour of the greens and their speed
