Is it just me, or do the greens look browner than they have in the past?

I agree that the course is fine as it is. IMO, the reachability of the par-5 holes at Augusta National makes them more interesting. On 13 and 15, there are plenty of things that can go wrong too, which makes them exciting to watch.

I was just getting ready to say something about how brown the greens look. They look more like US Open greens.

The most important part of the Masters Tournament has just been decided.  I'm there for the lobster & corn fritters, miso-marinated sea bass and the peach cobbler.

How can you not root for Viktor Hovland?

Are you guys watching this kid scramble? He's hit it all over the place, but he can grind like nobody. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Classic annoying leaderboard ....Simpson, Leishman, Matsuyama. Pure bores who always come around in Majors...then fizzle. Hopefully they’ll disappear.

Some of the top guys not having a great start.

Lee, Day and Rory +5

Bryson, Koepka +2. Bryson seems to be more in the woods and weeds than he’d like.

I haven’t seen much yet, but how are they coping with the greens?

Terrible start for Hovland, but he’s fought back and scrambled around. Getting in at +1 would be fine.

Those predicting winning score of -15 or better needs to get something going.

Rory hit his own dad with a shot at the seventh. 😅

Here in Michigan we have had one of the more milder, drier end of winter into spring that I can remember. I haven't followed Georgia's weather, but wouldn't be surprised if it were similar. I remember playing in March with many comments on how dry the course was, almost like in the heat of the summer dryness.

Don’t forget Reed. He’s even won here before.

I hope Phil The Thrill can stay up there. He’s always fun.

They said thirteen's scoring average is 4.3. So clearly the guys take that hole apart relative to the others, but at the same time, that does add some pressure on everyone to collect birdies there. Par is essentially bogey as you're giving up 0.7 strokes per round, historically. 

 

Edit: I still really like the hole of course. I think it's a nice reward for the field after navigating 10-11-12 and to a lesser extent, 9.

Add Justin Rose in the mix too. I'm actually a Rose fan though, so I don't mind.

I don't want everyday to be this hard, but this is fun to watch. Those greens are fast and crispy.

      Justin Rose

      I like Justin Rose and I wouldn’t mind seeing him win another major, I just didn’t want him to win this one 😃

      I think Rose might have the most zeroed out putting stroke of anyone out there, although as golfing superpowers go that would be one of the most useless.

      Justin Rose

      By iacas ·

      He's been a top 100 golfer for almost his entire career, yeah. That's not easy to do, especially as you get into your 40s. And, all without any real "superpowers." He's not incredibly great at any one thing. He's very well rounded.

      Justin Rose

      By Zeph ·

      Always been a fan of Rose. He seems like a decent human being first of all. When there's some chatter at the tee he says "Quiet guys, please. Thank you" in a friendly tone. He's always given the impression of being a stand-up guy, supportive of his colleagues and competitors. A friendly face. His performance as a golfer is more about consistency through his entire career than the large number of wins. He's always around, but had the potential to win more. This Masters they made a point out of him having almost twice as many lead/co-lead rounds without a win than the next guy on the list. 11 wins on the PGA Tour, 11 on the European Tour and the single major, but a lot of top ten finishes. Erik's comparison to Adam Scott is on point, as the stats demonstrates in the images below. Starting their careers during the reign of Tiger didn't make things easier, but there are few players with more than 15 wins on the PGAT the last ~30 years. I only counted eight from this list. I'd love to see him win at Augusta. Rory is one of very few players I'd pick over Rose.
