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

    • 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.
