Nope, I'm pretty happy with Willett. Hasn't hit many loose shots over the week, has played some tight golf and putted seriously well.

You picked me up wrong,I was replying to Skydog,I love his patiotism but there are patriots all over the world.I am ecstatic that Willet has won this ,for me,the best part of the Masters is that Spieth didn't run away with it.

I realize a big part of why it annoys me is that a disproportionate amount of TV coverage is taken up with his ridiculously slow play, depriving us of the opportunity of seeing lots of other golf.  CBS deserves a lot of blame.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Also, the camera in the face of Willett when he's trying to contact his wife is poor form. Give the man a little space...

Smylie made a birdie earlier today at #2 along with Jordan.  Then he made only one more birdie, at #12, where Jordan didn't make a birdie.

I think he is happy he was able to tee it up this week!  Great Sunday round and well deserved Green Jacket.

Oh, I would guess he's a good kid, and I understand it's mostly the media's fault that I'm not a fan of his, but the media has made tons of people fans of him, moreso than turned people off from him like me, so, I'm ok with not liking him.

You make a good point.

Had CBS, TGC, etc. not force fed and been so over the top with him since in and around when he won the John Deere, it might not bug me.

But it does.

And his slow play bugs me, too. 

They probably did exactly the same thing with Tiger's & Rory's wins at a young age too. It's rare for really young golfers to win Majors.

Oh sure, now Jordan has a perfect drive on #18.

Willett realized he was on national tv I think when he looked at the screen while the AGNC official was to his right.

Waiiiit did this really happen...

No.  This was one of his "top 10 things I'd like to say" comments on Letterman the next day.  But it was more like "Now I don't look so foolish for trademarking Immelmania."

If you haven't already done so, check out (probably on YouTube) Geoff Ogilvy, Immelman, and Z. Johnson's Letterman top-10s after their first respective major wins.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
