Rory appears to be taking the scenic route on this fourth hole.

Brutal, but he did just birdie 5. [quote name="RandallT" url="/t/73499/2014-masters-discussion-thread/570_30#post_975425"] That was a weird slice swing with a wood on that par 3 by Rory. Looked kinda OTT and awkward. [/quote] He was setup well left and clearly trying to cut it towards the hole. The announcers were saying maybe he just didn't feel the wind or something, because it was really flying.

It's still possible that the cut will move to +5.

It's possible, but I think that's unlikely at this point.  There are 5 guys aleady in at +4 and if it ends now, thats 51 players.  There are 4 more still out on the course at +4, so all of them as well as 2 of the guys at +3 or better would all have to drop back to +5 to get those guys all in.

I think +4 is pretty safe at this point ... but then again, you never know.

Correct. Wasn't clever for Reed to say it the first time, let alone all the others

Haha!  Touche.

There are 4 guys on the course at +4, 4 guys on course at +3, 3 guys on the course at +2. It's playing tough now it seems. But 6 of those 10 need to drop to +5.

Whoops, sorry Randall.  It took me 5 more minutes to say the exact same thing you said.  What can I say ... I'm slow. :beer:

Haven't seen much of Rickie Fowler, but he just started the back 9. Still at -1 for the tournament.

IS number 11 the hardest hole on the course or what?  Maybe there are some tougher ones on the front that I haven't seen?

Looks like so far there have been 2 birdies on that hole (Senden and Garcia) compared to 6 double bogies and a triple.

Freddy is like a greenskeeper out there...he's picking up every leaf, tapping down marks that aren't anywhere near his line with that walking cane of a putter lol.


John Senden is getting amongst it @ -3

Hope he does better than Keegan did with that lie.

Damn it, Dufner! When I entered our contest here, I had Bubba Watson -12 typed out and before I hit submit, I replaced him with Duffy. I do the same damn thing in Daily Fantasy Basketball and Football! :censored:


I'm not totally out of the driver contest!  My man Fdez-Castano shot a tidy little 69 today to put himself at level par (trying to sounds European there) and in a tie for 14th!!

LOL did you guys see Weir's caddie shake his head in disbelief when he hole that putt just now? He can't believe Mike's playing well either. :-D

I'm sure ( as a Canadian ) Weir apologized immediately to his caddie

    • Man.. reading back through the thread, it’s understandable how my thread starter would be taken negatively, especially for those who really like Rory.  But for those who are calling out Troll or incorrect facts, etc etc, I’ll make a deal. If Rory wins (and I count myself in for those who would like to see him win), I’ll come back and grovel, begging for forgiveness, acknowledging how wrong I had it, etc etc But if Rory loses, and for any reasonable connection to the factors I listed, some sort of similar acknowledgement coming back the other way would be nice! 😊 👍 
    • 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?

    • 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'
    • Update on my prediction!  Standing by it, regardless of my mangling of the divorce item in point #3. As to where we stand, Rory’s turnaround, wow.  His talent is undeniable, and as he puts it himself - he’s resilient.
