Did you see the one yesterday? Not such a good shot, and the ball was barely covered with water. And I noticed he was wearing darker pants...

I must have missed that somehow.
I'll look it up and check it out.

When? They were waiting for the green to clear on 15, 17, and 18 IIRC.

They definitely waited for the green to clear on 15. 

But I think Xander's triple on 16 slowed them down a bit.

I found yesterday pretty boring:

  • It wasn't really that close. Once Hideki got through 12 with the lead, it was going to be really hard for someone to catch him. Xander was within 2 shots after 15 and then immediately put his ball in the water, which ended any sort of intrigue. 
  • Hideki doesn't do much for me. I find him pretty boring to watch, partially because he's really slow.
  • Nobody besides Rahm made any sort of charge. Nobody who was close to Hideki at the beginning of the day broke 70. 

Just a bit of a meh day. That was always in the cards unless Hideki collapsed. It's too bad because every other day was great, and it was setting up for a great leaderboard on Friday night.

Hm... interesting. I actually though Xander was slower. But I don't remember either of them being too bad. I don't think either took anywhere near as long as Brian Harman. His putting routine with his caddie takes for ever.

Every Masters after 2019 is going to feel like a letdown in comparison. Always fun to watch, but yesterday lacked some of the "magic" that is typical of a Sunday at the Masters. I think Zalatoris making a birdie at 18 on Saturday and being in the final group with Hideki would've been a LOT more fun. The thin crowds and lack of roars also takes a bit away from it. Hopefully next April it's back at 100%.

Had Xander not Norman’d the 16th it would’ve been quite intense. A par would’ve had XS one back with two to go.  But when a leader has a six shot lead at any time....you’re gonna have to have some Faldo luck to overcome that.

I don't consider him slow. His swing is methodical.

Interesting stats on what worked at the Masters as far as putting grips.  Obviously not strokes gained putting (as Masters doesn't stat that), but probably some info in these numbers.

Expand  

Most of strokes gained will be tee to green. Tough to say that there is any correlation there. 

There has been compentant putters with almost every type of grip. Maybe except long putter since they took anchoring away.

Congrats to Hideki - he earned it -  but I think the big story is the young kid in his first Master's outing finishing second. Very well done.

Expand  

A fine achievement, yes, but the winner is clearly the bigger story.

Another way to look at it, those missing and making the cut by putting grip (excludes anyone over 60 years old to weed out old champions).  Agree with previous comment that strokes gained driving / approaches could be a factor here, but still pretty interesting.  Wish I had strokes gained putting stats to really nail this down.

    • Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.
    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂
