Not quite Sunday pins but not much in the middle of the greens either. Slightly harder than yesterday. I like 12 and 13 especially

There’s not a cut between round one and round two.

I meant they have to play 27 holes in a row and fatigue could be a problem. For example, Collin Morikawa played 9 holes this morning and just started the second round.

This kind of thing happens all of the time.  Go look up how many holes Tiger played in one day, while winning the 2005 Masters.  Go back a little in history and you will find that playing 36 holes on the last day of an event were common.  Then there is the US Amateur, which still plays a 36 hole match for the finals.

If playing 27 holes is a problem for a player then, IMO, they have no business being a pro golfer, let alone playing in the Masters.

Yeah, I think yesterday the holes were cut in the high spots of many greens given the rain.

DJ is looking pretty sharp this morning.

That makes sense.

He is looking serene, could shoot a low, low number today.

Is there anything better than the Masters' website? I submit to you that there is NOT.

I picked JT in the one conversation I had with someone where they asked me to pick someone. That person picked Rahm.

JT hitting a tree and the ball ending up further away from the green on a punchout makes me feel better about all the times it happens to me.

Im and Ancer are doing well for their first Masters. I've heard that data predicts players don't start playing their best at ANGC after around 6 tournaments or something.

He seems laid back enough to absorb it:  "Whatever."

Yes, but it also reminds me of the time I was in the trees and was going to have to pitch out to be about 30 yards further from the green than where I was in the trees.  I pushed my pitch out, hit a tree, and it ricocheted into the fairway, 20 yards closer to the green than I started.  I went on to bogey the hole, IIRC.

Anyone else enjoy the sight of BDC being driven back to the tee to reload as much as I do?
