US Masters 2024

Just imagine if Danny Willett went on to win his 2nd green jacket.

What happened? I read he got very lucky on a few holes but it didn’t describe how.

Scottie was indeed REALLY lucky on those holes.

Dumped his tee shot in the bunker at the back of 12. Then his bunker shot came out slightly hot, yet disappeared down the pipe. Was going 6ft+ past.

Then on 13 he underhit his second into Rae’s Creek. However…it didn’t drop into the water and stayed on the bank. Cue a simple chip and another birdie.

So -2 over those two holes when at best it was +1. A HUGE difference!

The Masters would have its very own Andy North.

Spectators at the Master are called patrons.

Simply because the first two spectators on the inaugural competition were called Pat and Ron

Are seats banned in the studio? Faldo and Laura Davies look to be getting tired after having to stand for an extended time. Bet they can't wait for full coverage to start again

I know right.. professional players who can draw or fade a ball basically on command so can control in the wind (that's a light breeze)

Compared to the average golfer who pays good money to play in 30mph gusts where the ball flight is 70% chance

To be fair. The average golfer isn’t try to hit exact yardages into small areas very difficult greens.

It does look properly windy today.

Scheffler and McIlroy on the par 3 4th. The wind is howling right to left and Rory has just watched it carry Schefflers ball way left, and then hits the exact same shot. Far be it for a hacker like me to tell a major champion how to play golf but surely, you've just seen his ball sail on the wind, hit a cut against it. Or is a cut too girly? (sorry ladies).

Scottie tried to fade it and Rory hit it right to left.

Maybe he did, and didn’t get it right.

That tee shot is playing 250 yards today. Where they missed was not that bad a shot.

Yes, it's everything that golf has supposedly moved on from yet people still fawn over it.

Exclusive, artificial (they even pipe in the sounds of birds chirping ffs) and full of stupid "traditions". It's not even a full field either, I just don't get the love for the place.

They have great PR people though, I'll give them that.

edit: I'm sure I heard a commentator saying yesterday "His ball is in the patron observation deck." No, it's a f*cking grandstand ffs.

I get the feeling you dont like it?

At least its a full 72 hole competition and not a mickey mouse 54 hole pimped up golf competition.

One has to wonder why some of you are watching. Are you doing just to complain about it?

I was wondering the same. All the moans about the commentators, what golfers are wearing.
Just watch the flippin golf and enjoy it.

I’m loving it. The course looks absolutely stunning. The sun is shining. There’s some great golf being played. What’s not to like?

Apart from Laura Davies, obviously.

Sand storm on the 18th green, bit blawy indeed.

Goes without saying.

For all those doubting Tiger making
The cut. I hope you all put money on him failing!

 

[Pin-seeker]

Tiger needs to give up the ghost & shave it off

Nope,personally I just didn’t think he would.
Glad he has tho

Victor Hovland is rather letting down my Masters Fantasy endeavours.

 

[GreiginFife]

Goes without saying.

McGinley as well, its like his eyes, brain and mouth aren’t all connected up.
Says the biggest load of nonsense whilst watching the opposite happen.

But I realise I have the option of turning the sound off.
