Jordan vs Rory. Who goes lower in the 2 day pairing? *VOTE*

[ChrisP]

Damn Jordan's girlfriend is hot. She's 18, right? Don't want to feel like a creep.

As for who will shoot better, I say Jordan mostly because I think Rory may be a bit worn out after last week. As good as Rory played last week, if it were a stroke play event, Spieth would have probably ended up winning. My only concern with Jordan is the pairing. Rory seems to be "hungry" right now and I think wants to show everyone he's still #1. Jordan may be a bit starstruck yet. We'll see.

I don't yet see that.  I suspect Rory is still waiting for a real rival to show up.  It keeps changing every couple months.  He'd probably really like it.  Jordan is next on the list, but he has to hang around longer than a season.

Hope so - would be nice to see two people as decent as these seem to be and nearly the same age - then a rivalry would have some legs.

Spieth is my pick, he is playing awesome

[Thrash13]

I voted for Spieth in this one. Rory was awesome this past weekend, but he also played 7 rounds in 5 days and had a birthday Monday. I think he'll be in the top 20 or so going into the weekend and will end up in the top 10, but I think Spieth will be in contention from the start and is my pick to win this weekend. I hope they both play great and finish 1-2. That's what's best for golf right now!

Jordan! He was -16 during the matchplay rounds he played last week.

They are both fun to watch.  I picked Jordan because, with absolutely no data, Rory tends to have his worst day on Friday.  Jordan is usually good the first three days.

I voted Rory because I'm a McIlroy homer. :-P On any given day it's a toss up between them, but if they are both bringing their A game Rory comes out on top. Speith's A game is spectacular, but Rory's A game is otherworldly.

Wouldn't -18 at the masters be considered otherworldly? I'll go with Jordan I'm not a Rory fan.

Fair point and I'll admit it was pretty impressive. Rory didn't bring his best to that tournament. May have been a different Sunday for Speith if he was paired with a red hot Rory on the final day or he may have kept it together and won anyway, who knows. Just to be clear, I REALLY like Speith too.

Depends on how you look at it. Clearly Augusta was playing easier this year. They got a good amount of rain and the greens were soft.

Rory shot a -12 with two mediocre first rounds. Since Tigers -18 in 1997, -12 would win you this tournament 11 out of the last 18 times, not including 3 ties (-12 was winning score 3 times)

Look at it this way, when Tiger shot a -18 in 1997 the next closest guy was Tom Kite at -6. The highest score for the guy who made the cut was +15 in 1997 compared to +9 this year. There was 10 players between -6 and -18 in this years masters. The whole field played this course easy even compared to last year. So, no it wasn't otherworldy because of how easy Augusta played this year compared to previous years. I would say Spieth had one out of this world round with that 64. Besides that he only shot -4 over the weekend.

Also for future reference, the votes are now 20 for Jordan, 10 for Rory.

[David in FL]

No reason, but I'm calling it for Jordon.

[Crim]

1st hole, Jordan missing the green, Rory hits it to 10 feet.

Birdie time?!

[Crim]

Rory makes par. Jordan makes bogey.

BTW, pga.com votes.

[Crim]

Before round

and now 3 holes in....LOL

[Crim]

Now Rory has had 6 birdie putts in 6 holes, majority within 15 feet, none have dropped but this one is really close. COMMEEEE ONNNNN

EDIT: BIRDIEEEEE!

[RFKFREAK]

WHO GOES LOWER??

Jordan & Rory are paired up for the first two days, who will be lower by the weekend?

Not sure if it's just he angle from the picture or not but Rory seems to have more definition in his upper body.  Rory is a pretty sick gym rat.

I voted Rory because I'm a McIlroy homer.

On any given day it's a toss up between them, but if they are both bringing their A game Rory comes out on top. Speith's A game is spectacular, but Rory's A game is otherworldly.

I'm a big fan of Rory, too.  Besides Phil and Tiger, generally speaking, I'll root for him.

Is it too late to change my prediction?

I bet mods have ways...

I wanted Rory to do better, so I'm happy. But yeah I thought for sure Spieth would have a good day.

To be fair though, I did say first TWO rounds, we have another day!
