Last week in Houston, Spieth started blocking shots at the very end when he was tied for the lead. Johnny Miller said it's his one flaw under pressure. Will a 4-5 shot lead keep him relaxed or will the tournament begin on the back nine on Sunday? Norman lost a 6-7 shot lead in nine holes.

All of the guys within 10-12 shots want to shoot 65-66 today to get within range of a collapse because it will likely take a collapse by Spieth.

History of The Masters has shown more often than not that Saturday is moving day and if a couple of players pull within a few strokes, Sunday's back nine will be where the drama begins. Augusta National is set up to allow the drama/theater to happen. Dustin Johnson's three eagles yesterday demonstrate the possibilities. What other PGA tour event has had three eagles in one single round? The winner not only has to play well, putt well, but has to have the psychological strength to bear the pressure of it all.

Jordan Spieth is playing lights out.  If he continues like this then he will win, but there is still a long way to go.  Norman lost a 7 shot lead in one day.  Mickelson made up 5 shots in 15 minutes in 2010 with his eagles on 13 and 14 and a near eagle on 15.  All depends on the course and how well Spieth handles things.  I think somebody will have to run him down with two great rounds, but it still could be interesting.

Charley Hoffman would have the lead in 73 of the previous 78 Masters with his score.

Tiger and Sergio paired together should be interesting.

Maybe this question should have been asked, "If Sergio and Tiger were fighting in the parking lot, who would you help?"

I'd let them duke it out.

I hope it puts some more fire in Tiger's game.

I'd love to see him come out swinging. Yesterday he had the chance with the birdie on 1, couldn't convert on the second hole. Missed some short-ish putts, didn't convert on the back 9 par fives...

Great, they will start showing Tiger once it goes on TV. How they don't show him for hole 1 , I don't get.

haha I called it yesterday. As soon as Sergio finished I said there's a 50 percent chance Sergio will be paired with Tiger. And he is. Might be a good thing for Tiger. He seems to always play better when he's with Sergio.

The way I read the schedule, it doesn't appear we will see Tiger play a shot until hole 7 or so......he tees off at 1:15, with CBS coverage and his featured group stream not coming on until 3 pm......so, there is 1:45 of play that we will be solely reliant on Tiger Tracker....

Am I missing something (I really hope I am)?

Stricker is on the course now but the starting times page showed him going off alone, so I'm wondering if the club will pair him up with someone, and if so then who? I recall from last year or maybe before that the club pairs up solo players with select amateurs who are either members or friends of members. Just curious.

nope your right, so we see TW once it goes on tv. What's the point of the stream? Not good.

Just curious.

They'll usually pair him with Jeff Knox; their resident marker. From all accounts, dude can play. He's beaten Rory and Sergio when paired with them.

CBS coverage doesn't start until 3:30, and that will be for all the players. If you have a solid chub for Tiger, the live stream will be a perfect fix for you as it's gonna be solely focused on his group.

Thanks --- I actually just saw that the "CBS Coverage" begins streaming on the Masters' website at 2 pm -- so maybe they will pick right up with Tiger at hole 3 or 4

      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.
