@mariner4life played against a dude one time, on a par 3, I hit mine to about 10 feet, he shanks his out of bounds, I'm grinning...he puts the next one in the hole, we halved it

yeah, when it gets really dry up here, you can get some shitty shots with a great result.

Par 3, i hit what was a pretty decent iron that faded away and landed just off the green. felt pretty good about it though, had an easy chip on

My mate smacks his hard but tops it, and it shoots along the ground. I started laughing but the fucking thing kept going (elevated tee to elevated green). Rolled on to about a metre from the hole. He promptly drained the putt. Jammy prick (i of course topped my chip and went to the other side of the green and settled for a 5)

Golf. In a nutshell.

Results based industry

If you believe in fate/omens or whatever, then Tiger is where you should be looking.

According to TV1 News...

When Jack Niclaus won his 6th Green Jacket, he was ranked 33rd in the world, and did it 23 years after his first win.

Tiger is sitting on 5 Green Jackets, he is currently ranked 33rd, and 23 years ago, he won his first Green Jacket...

Probably not a popular opinion, but I'd love to see Tiger win it

@voodoo yeah I dont mind Tiger either.

A bit familiar for Tiger too...but this one is Taylor Swift apparently:

I would also like to see Tiger win it. If only for the omen thing.

Watching on Kayo in Oz, and it's the best golf coverage I've ever seen. Shot after shot after shot, barely any ads, a great variety of golfers. No filler, no lingering shots of the azaleas, no long interviews. It's how golf should be.

Justin Thomas is looking ominous.

what happened to Jordan Speith? It's only a couple of years since he was the guy. Now you just never hear about him, and he went 2 over today.

@barbarian must look great without all the people too!

@taniwharugby That's the slightly depressing element to it all. Patrick Reed played a phenomenal shot from the trees on the 9th and was greeted with only a smattering of light applause. It deserved a full gallery roar.

@barbarian yeah I guess theres that aspect as opposed to the constant 'get in the hole'

I believe you get ejected if saying that at The Masters. It's much more civil

Looks a perfect opportunity for Tiger, a course he knows well and accuracy more important than big hitting. Leaderboard is stacked already ....

Must be the same coverage everywhere. As I also noticed how quick it was between shots and lack of bollocks.

Certainly the easiest I've ever seen Augusta play. Tournament is wide wide open.

I was wondering the same thing last night. We have a family joke about that, as when my daughter was 3, I was watching Jordan play golf on the TV over dinner once, and she asked me if John Beef played at Foxhills (our local golf club where she had swimming lessons) ...

It seems a very narrow line between being a top player and one of the pack. A whole series of players rise up to join the elite for a while then fade back into the pack. Molinari is another. For a year or so, he was at the top of the leaderboard and then he rejoins the pack.

With 13 and 15 playing like tricky par 4s and not par 5s, the back 9 looks vulnerable to a guy who's playing well. Plenty of players going on birdie streaks through there.

Cheeky triple for Bryson de RoShamBo ....

Cracking wide open leaderboard

You guys are right about the coverage. I've never seen golf like it

Feel like I'm watching my first sweeping shot through the trees behind a leaderboard graphic all morning.

Fuck off bryson enjoy watching the weekend with the rest of us

Hows par 67 looking now?

No crowd yelling stupid nonsense is another plus

DJ 4 shots clear and the names at 4 and 5 behind him are not big ones!

It was a Masters winning final 6 holes!

Can anyone point to footage of every shot of the 10?

Meanwhile Dustin is making no contest of this.

@taniwharugby 10? Ouch

@canefan said in US Masters 2020:

@taniwharugby 10? Ouch

On a par three.

1. Tee shot into water.
2. Wedge into water.
3. Wedge into back bunker.
4. From bunker into water.
5. Wedge onto green.
6. Missed putt.
7. Successful putt.

Although two shots hit the green and spun off. Awful.

golf can be a cruel, cruel game, given his 3rd shot was a very good looking shot, and musta been so close to sitting on the fringe, but no....

DJ wins in a canter, the last 36 holes were a bit of a fizzer.

Very soft greens, colder weather and rain made the course so different to how it normally plays.

Couldn't get over seeing guys bomb it into the green on 15 and have the ball stop dead next to the pin, rather than bound over the back like it usually does.

Not many would have the mental game to bounce back and birdie 5 of the next 6!

Danny Lee aside of course...

Three woods bouncing and sticking to a foot of impact. Was incredible.

Also worth mentioning is how amazing the Masters online leaderboard is/was. You could track every player in real time, and see every shot roughly a minute after they hit it. Any player, anywhere on the course. And now you can go back and replay every shot.

I could watch my favourite players so much more, given they are Aussies and traditionally don't feature much on the coverage.

Watch Cameron Smith's second shot into 9, or Tiger's meltdown on 12 in all its glory.

It puts every other golf tournament to shame.

I loved the interview at the end there. He is Joe Cool on the golf course and that natural swagger when he walks makes him probably the coolest cat playing golf of all time, but that interview, seeing the emotion and what it means, makes him even more endearing.

Easily my fav golfer. I hope he gets home and has a few top quality lines to celebrate!

@Hooroo not to mention a smoking hot missus!
