I'd like at my take of the event from a spectators point of view. I'm between a 9-12 index depending.... and play about 100 rounds a year. I've been in person to about 15 PGA events. I have never b

Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

Just got home and turned it on and just read through 200 posts lol.

So far I take away course hasn't played as tough as expected? Menefee sucks? Buck and Norman rather pleasant? Few kinks for Fox to work out but done pretty well thus far?

Also, I know I know this course isnt suppose to look as pretty as Augusta, but my lord I am seeing a lot of dead grass, splotchy bad areas. Is that just kinda how it will be with a course like this? I dont recall Whistling Straits having much of any noticeable imperfections like CB.

DJ very impressive from what I saw/read. Rory disappointing. Excited for Day-Rose-Spieth group right now and of course Tiger.

Holly Sonders does a good job but she needs to simmer on the makeup, facial work and nails.

Do we have any absurd long drives today to note?

A course like this to me is very distracting to watch on tv and also to play. There are so many things going on with cameras and fans in the background and even a player's view as they are playing. It really seems noticeably more distracting here than at other courses.

Yeah almost like these guys don't know each other at all.

Give them a few more tournaments, I would imagine more meshing will occur.

I don't believe Tiger is going to be anything close to what he was at memorial, he's going to be much, much better

Okay, Fox has a robotic cam of some type called the "chase cam."

I'm loving the feel of this course and the crowd. Something slightly circus like about it.

      Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer??

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
