Really interested to see how Rory answers right now. One of the 1st majors where he was a decided favorite; the chance to make history. Now he's on the cut line.  No realistic shot at winning. Let's see how he fights it out.

It's not that they don't ever show the first nine, they just don't show it much, at all... If not, explain why the live streaming starts at 11.  They have live coverage of Amen Corner and 15,16.  Nothing on the first nine.

Streaming coverage is not intended to be comprehensive; that's why AT&T; Uverse, which carries the streaming views as part of my cable television package, calls it "Masters Extra." I was watching ESPN at the gym a while ago. I saw Phil, Rory, and Ryan Moore's approaches on the fifth hole, and the entire group's play on the sixth hole.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I[quote name="Silent" url="/t/80870/2015-masters-discussion-thread/870#post_1126960"]McIlroy is messing it up, in danger of making the cut. [/quote] I think he will miss it now.

Whoops, my bad.  That's going to change things drastically.  I apologize  ...

Haha, it has gotten a lot better lately.  Just feel its odd they wont show the whole course during the "Featured Group" online.

So Tiger makes cut and Rory may not. My guess is nobody saw that coming.

And if not for Spieth/Hoffman, Tiger would be in serious contention.

1st is not a surprise.  2nd one is.  There are other surprises like Charile Hoffman in 2nd place after 36 holes, and JS breaking the 36 hole record.   But I am guessing every year, there are surprises when 100 players are in the field.   My disappointing surprise is Fowler.   I figured he'd in top 10 by now.   Well, he has 2 more rounds to catch JS.

Fowler brought it back nicely from 5 over...  I thought he was playing himself out of the weekend for a while there.

Fowler saved his weekend by making 4 birdies in the last 6 holes..

Joost -2 today, and right on the cut line after birdies on 7 & 9. Eight holes to play, and maybe he's ready for a birdie run. Calling @Silent !

I thought that was a sore spot because the eagle was surrounded by bogeys!  He was all even after 3, despite that! :censored:

That's true, especially the bogey on 3rd seemed completely unnecessary.

And if Tiger had had two 67s, he'd be right in it !!!!!

Or, if Speith had missed the cut, you'd say Tiger had a chance!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

It doesn't matter.

The story is about Spieth

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
