2025 Masters

And they’re off! Should be an interesting tournament. Pulling for Rory to finally break through.

One of the best weeks of the year! 

Rooting for Rory as well, but I'm also bracing for the sad letdown. He's had a great season to this point tho, so maybe this is finally it.

 

Pretty optimal conditions right now. 67F with 10mph wind.

Scheffler at the top? How odd…lol. Come on guys! Let’s change it up! 😃

Rose heard your call.

I’d be happy with Viktor or Rory. Preferably not a previous winner, but most important is some excitement and multiple players in contention.

I just realized we’ll be watching Garcia, Reed etc. for decades to come. What fun.

Why if you're just going to wait next? Are they behind? Rounds took over five hours yesterday.

Rory at the crime scene again from yesterday (#15).. Let's see what he does after this piped drive. If he mangles this b**** again, Imma go out and jump in a puddle.

Announcing;  it bugs me when they ask “Are you proud of yourself?”  “Are you proud of the way you played?”  “Are you proud of this or that?”  In what other sport do the announcers-interviewers ask this annoying question?

And then the golfers have to answer… “I was really proud of myself when.. yada yada"

Tyrell Hatton, 16th hole;  Following his reaction to his tee shot, after his first putt I thought his head was going to explode.  He’s kinda entertaining that way, I think he’s the top contender for ‘most likely to explode'

Rich Hunt has as usual (since 2013) predicted the 20 players most likely to win based mostly on data. Here's the state of things after two rounds. "Top 10" means it's his personal predition of the 10 mostlikely to win of those 20. Rose was filtered out based on lack of distance off the tee, but with his 300 average he's just over the tour average and longer than several other players that made the top 20 shortlist (Lowry, Hovland, Cantlay +), so I don't understand how that works. Maybe certain metrics overrule other metrics?
