The Masters 2025

We've been at a golf simulator in town tonight, playing Augusta. With the Masters on the big TV. Every time I looked round, McIlroy was another shot better. Great start. Imagine what his lead could be with a decent caddy :)

When he's hot we all know he is amazing.. a decent caddy isn't for the good times.. it's when it's tough.. stepping in once or twice a round just if needed.

Just think what his lead would be without the doubles on Monday
 
Well we have the duel we wanted for tomorrow. That BDC putt on 18 gives me nervous feeling for Rory. Still, since that famous last day collapse at Augusta, he’s converted every single 54 hole lead he’s had at a major, so can’t deny he learned from that and sorted that aspect mentally.
 
Rory could make it a boring Sunday, with a similar start.
Bryson probably made the most out of his round, needs to improve his irons.

Be interesting to see which way the US fans lean, Rory looked to have plenty of support today (chance of historic outcome)
 
I really hope Rory wins.. He was a class above the rest today . If it was down to quality of golf from today Rory would be about 5 shots clear.. BDC short game was quality though...No pictures on the scorecard as they say....I luv how Bryson interacts with the crowd. Come on Rory..

Yep. He drove, chipped, and putted very well. His approach play was really poor though. I can't see how he'll realistically be able to play so poorly with his irons again and get away with it.

Of course it is relevant. The situation adds to how memorable the shot is. If someone holes out from 160 yards on 18 for an eagle to finish tied for 40th, no one will remember it within a few years. If someone hit that exact same shot and ended up winning the tournament by 1, it would never be forgotten.

The entire tournament became a big thing because of Sarazen's albatross. If that hadn't have happened, we probably wouldn't be watching this right now.

Appreciate what you're saying but you don't have to win a tournament to hit the greatest shot.
 
Looks like Bryson is the man of the people judging by the responses to Iona’s post on X…

Happy for either to win it myself, but if Rory doesn’t - it will hit him hard.

Should be a great final round.

I think it’s Rory’s time, I can see him going low again today and running away with it.

I hope he does, more so to stop all the same will he won’t he rory chat every year
 
I'm in bed by 10:30pm so I watched the youtube every-shot recordings for Rory and Bryson this morning. They are great - whole round in 12 minutes and no commentary.
Massive putts for Bryson on the first and the last.
A three-putt for Rory mid-round.
On the whole however, I think that Rory was putting better than Bryson yesterday.
The winner will be the one who putts best on the final nine holes - often happens that way.
There's not much between them as they bash it round, but Rory appeared to have some better judgement of distance with irons to the green. That might also clinch it for him on the back 9.
