2015 Masters Discussion Thread

Like I said, not saying it's going to be this week, but you're fooling yourself if you don't think the kid is on the verge of breaking out. Just look at his age and his recent finishes.

I'm not disagreeing I'm just saying that would suck ass.

Tiger in the water hazard on 12....

Damn too bad for Tiger. Was fighting hard and then came that shot at 12. Now it's going to be a tough fight these next 24 holes or so to make the cut. He's hitting it better from February, but he's not there yet.

Spieth is the real deal! Golf is in a great place and the Masters is where it's at.........love it!

Just say it, Chris.   He's the next Tiger. Let's see what he does the next 3 days.   The tournament has just begun.

Still think it's way too early to be talking about the cut..

Tiger's full swing may be a bit iffy, but his pitching has been class today

Tiger checks another money a$$ wedge again

Agreed. He's holding the fort while swinging poorly, and that's an encouraging sign.

[RJH999]

At least Anirban Lahiri shot 71 today, amirite?

Maybe, but I think come tomorrow he'll be in that ballpark. However, I said coming into this tournament I really don't care what he shoots, I just want to see his short game improve drastically. And so far it has. If he misses the cut but comes away from this week with his short game back intact, he can say the last 8 weeks have paid off. The rest of his game will come with time. He's just fighting some jitters and tournament rust.

Slightly OT, but what's the technique for the couple of hop then stop wedges?

Agreed - he's also had a lot of good long shots, but the consistency just hasn't been up to the demands of the course.

Yeah, that could be. There's no doubt the last 8 weeks have paid off. Honestly, he's showing flashes of brilliance one moment but rust with some of his approaches. Still signs that his game is improving from what it was earlier this year.

Btw, is Tiger's group held up? Seems they're taking forever to tee off each hole.

He's just +2 with 6 to play and all day tomorrow. He's not miles away from anyone except Jordan.

Tiger is swinging out of his shoes, he almost fell over.

[Chilli Dipper]

Spieth reveals he's human with that dead pull approach on 15. He's looking at a very tough up-and-down from near the pond at 16.

It just baffles me, almost looks like he's having fun doing it. How he makes pure contact with club is beyond me
