Horns blow. Everyone coming in.

They make everyone leave the golf course, too. As in actually get off. No shelters, no hanging out in the merch buildings… etc.

Players are staying in place? Dottie just said that, but I see a lot of people walking in.

Did that happen when you were there? Are there any local bars/restaurants that score big when this happens? 🙂

Cameron Young swings the bejeezus outta that driver!

Most just go to their cars, or the entrance near the parking lot… and most walk as slowly as possible. If you're smart, you get down to Amen Corner, because that's the longest walk back to the gate.

The rest of the field isn’t playing bad (apart from Rory). I think it will tighten up tomorrow.

[iacas]

Seriously, Rory, woof.

You had to beat like 38 people. 36 actually after two WDs.

And most of those 36 are old/amateurs/Bryson.

[iacas]

Well, this one will be longer. The players were driven in.

Tiger is E on the day through 11. Still +2 and T50.

Hopefully this reply is correct:

Re: Rory, looks like his driver showed up this week but everything else didn't. Pretty pathetic IMO.

[Zeph]

Dang. The course is difficult enough in windy conditions without trees falling over. Hope noone got hit.

Sandy Lyle is playing his last Masters this week, he’s at +19 and got four yards left on 18, but he wasn’t allowed to putt it out.

Jeez.

 

[iacas]

They just showed a live shot of them clearing the trees away. At least two.

[boogielicious]

Glad no one was hurt

Tomorrow morning two new trees will be in place, or will look like they have never been there.

Well, early night for me, so it’s not all bad.

[Vinsk]

Criminey! What kind of goat ranch are they running over there !? 😃

Trying to remember my soil mechanics classes from college. In the video, it didn’t seem all that windy. Hope everyone got out of the way.

You know, I was thinking the same thing, root structure doesn't seem that wide but what do I know lol

I wonder if Augusta’s tree planting has affected this at all. I’m guessing the root systems for the added trees are not as deep as natural trees. I also wonder if there are so many trees that none of their roots go very deep. Granted, I know very little about this stuff, but those thoughts went through my head.
