I didn't get to see it, just the putt for quad. I assume he put it in the drink multiple times?

Was long on his 2nd, chipped down to the creek but stayed out... Duffed his 4th and it went into the creek...  Dropped for 5.  Duffed his 6th shot short of the creek.   7 went long onto the green.  2 putted for 9.

LOL, no kidding.  Rory's isn't much better.  The colorblock style looks a lot like the new apartment and condo buildings that keep popping up around here ...

My man GMac is hanging in there.  He is not making too many mistakes. As they say, "You can't win the Masters on the first day, but you can lose it."

Yes, good point.  If he shoots a 59 tomorrow he'll be right there! ;)

Yup, I'd say he played a lot better than even par, from what I saw he got quite a few bad breaks (pun intended) on a couple putts. So close to going in.

Hopefully those fall in tomorrow and he posts low.

So many players are missing short on 12.  That is surprising considering the low wind.

But going long there is a huge miss too.

But short is a definite 4. Long still has a chance for par.

If the shirts weren't like $100 each, I would buy the Rory collection...  And that sweet white jacket he had earlier.

Hehe....OK, I debated making this post because I thought it might be better to let you stay blissful in your picks, but in the end, decided you'd thank me later... still, please don't shoot the messenger... but I think you missed a critical clause in the contest's rules....

Quote:
In other words, if someone chooses Joe Smith for their first choice - at any score - and you choose him for your second choice, you've wasted your choice.

So taking Scott and Kuchar 2nd and 3rd were wasted picks because people have them as their 1st selection. Your only live horse is Jason Day at 6-under.

Don't shoot the messenger, @Hammer 4

Lemme buy you a digital drink :beer:

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
