I'd skip the tournament. Not a single doubt in my mind.

It's not like Danny Willet's gonna win the Masters anyway. ;-)

Nailed it.

I wouldn't ever consider missing the Masters for the birth of Danny Willet's first child. Also, if I were a professional golfer with the desire to have a child, I'd probably aim to make sure that

After having had 3, we joke about the things done differently each time.  The less and less "care" that is provided for the third.  As an example (This is obviously meant to be silly, but I swear this

So did he play?  All I'm hearing is about this Jordan collapse, not sure who actually won. ;-)

Duh - We won't know until tomorrow, Willett didn't play due to his newborn baby so Spieth & Westwood are having a 17 hole playoff tomorrow (skipping #12)

Players play, tough players win!

True enough, I is a good prognosticator, with the exception of the 2014 Super Bowl, when I call it, I is correct, just like Jamo here.

What are the Vegas odds that Willet would finish Top 20?  He's not a top player, factor in that this will be his first Masters and that his focus will be split between golf and his wife giving birth, what are the chances he even makes the cut?

 

Thanks for the cool breeze provided by this gigantic whiff!!!

I don't think I would have had this problem. I would never have attempted to impregnate my wife in early July. You gotta think ahead with these things, amirite? That's what good parenting is about.
