Who would you put a significant amount of money (say, 10k) on if you HAD to?? I'm usually pretty savvy when it comes to sports betting, but this one has had me stumped for hours now...

I'll tell you around 8PM Eastern Standard Time tomorrow. ;)

It's not the weather, though, as you may expect ... But rather, Phil Mickelson is just starting his practice round. ;)

I also am pulling for Ricky F. to win it, but deep down, I know it's prolly not gonna happen. I would take Bubba first, then Jordan, then Matt. Jordan really impressed me today, does that kid not have nerves, or what..? He seemed so Calm in his interview. If nothing else, my guess is, he's a Champion in the making.

Pretty much how I'm seeing it as well. Miguel is tempting at 20/1 but I haven't seen him put 2 rounds like that together in awhile. Ricky and Jordan are gamers...I'd love it to come down to those two. A changing of the guards of sorts...anyway, unbelievable tournament.

Well, at this point the odds are basically meaningless. Since you're talking about a large sum of money, it's only a matter of who you think is going to win. Mainly because I'm hoping to jinx him, I'm gonna say I'd bet my money on Furyk. ;)

Watching the end of today's round now ... Verne Lundquist just told us that a girl from Spieths high school is Roger Staubachs granddaughter. Umm, okayyyy. The significance of that is?????? That was the randomest anecdote ever.

LOL I'm watching as well and just heard the same thing.

Holy crap Bubba certainly left a few out there from where he was driving it.

I think it's kind of hard to have a changing of the guard without Tiger playing, though.

Maybe that's part of the change..... With continuing health issues, he's not playing as much, and when he does, he's not always competitive to the level that he used to be.

Bubba started getting a little yippie with the putter yesterday, leaving a lot of putts short. Nerves might be getting to him.

I'm liking Jordon Speith, that kid is playing lights out right now.

Its gonna be a great final round, so many players with a chance to win. If Tiger was out there, he would be in the mix too. So sad he's not there.

That's just another way of saying he's only [Lottery Megaphone]twenty... years... old...[End Megaphone]. And you lot out there - you're old. :-)

I guess in my opinion, changing of the guard requires the young gun beating the established king on the big stage.

I'd like to see Speith win. The man has been playing lights out since winning the John Deere. He deserves a green jacket. Plus, we need somebody like him for the future of the PGA Tour. What are we going to do when Woods and Mickelson retire? Youngsters like McIlroy, Speith, and Fowler have to generate some interest.

I'd rather see the winner of majors to be the best, who have been the best, and who'll continue to be the best in the game


If Speith is truly going to be a long term great player, winner of multiple majors, Ryder Cup player over and over again - then I'm all for him winning.  I think he's going a to be  great one (hopefully).

Seeing one hit wonders win the major and disappear, struggle with making cuts, etc (Lucas Glover).  I'd prefer they not get that lightning in a bottle and win (Blixt also comes to mind if he wins today).

If that doesn't happen, I'd like to see the winner be someone who has done a lot in the game but hasn't found the peak (Westwood, Stricker, Jimenez come to mind).  Almost a capstone to their long career.......Furyk won his major awhile go, but this one would be great to cap his career. Kuchar fits the category of being among the best as well and would be a true champion.

So that's what that was. I'm in NY and got the eye logo for 5 minutes, I got back late. Thought the broadcast was cable only or something. http://nypost.com/2014/04/12/cbs-masters-coverage-suffers-20-minute-outage/

Did anyone even notice? Word is that since Your Highness TW isn't playing, sportsfans are watching NASCAR instead.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
