If I remember correctly, a playoff at the Masters is #s 10 and 18, in that order, in sudden death.

Yeah, if Tiger doesn't get up-and-down for birdie on 12 I think his chances are done and it'll be on somebody else to catch Rory. I think if Rory keeps driving it the way he has been he'll end up holding on. Brandon

I assume you mean 13 since 12 is a par 3 and Rorys driver seemed to have left him on 10.

Thanks. Yes, I meant the par 5 thirteenth hole. It appears Tiger will have a very good approach chance on 15 to set up an eagle putt. Adam Scott turning it on as well. Brandon

Oh poor Rory.  :(

I make no secret of my Tiger fandom, but ... poor Rory! :(

And now Tiger's approach on 15... I started screaming "make it a double" mid-swing.

wow. that was epic.

in the Ogio Grom stand bag:
Driver: Ping G5 9°
Wood: Taylormade V Steel 15°
Hybrid: Callaway x series 24°
Irons: Taylormade r7 4-SWWedge: Mizuno MP T 58° Putter: Taylormade Rossa Modena 8Ball: TopFlite D2 Feel & recycled Titleist Pro V1x's


Alright, looks like the meltdown is complete and Rory is looking up at the leaderboard. Tiger has about 4 foot for eagle at 15 after his approach. There is a four-way tie for first, and he can claim the lead with the eagle. Brandon

Disappointing birdie for Tiger. What a squandered opportunity. This is going down to the wire my friends. Brandon

If I had to make pick right now I'd go with him.

Driver: i15, 3 wood: G10, Hybrid: Nickent 4dx, Irons: Ping s57, Wedges: Mizuno MPT 52, 56, 60, Putter: XG #9 

Yeah I admit I wouldn't mind seeing Scott win, even though I hate looking at that putter :-). Tiger is going to have to hit some great approach shots at 17 or 18 to win, because there are too many scoring opportunities remaining for the people he's tied with. As much as the putter was on fire on the front 9, it's failed him on the back. Good drama though. There are still 5-8 guys in the hunt. Brandon

Ugh I hate those putters, but it seems to be working very well for him.

EDIT: Wow, Ogilvy has a great chance to share the lead.

    • Day 11: 2/16/2025 Rince and Repeat: Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.   
    • Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
