2016 Masters Toonamint Discussion Thread

The scary weather forecast that looms....

 

 

[nevets88]

The theme will be playing in my head all week.

How does Day do in the wind? Not well, I'd have to imagine, with how high he hits it...

Also, anyone watching the DriveChipPutt contest? It's such a joy to watch those kids.

Not sure Day can play badly at the moment. Still likely to be top 5 whatever the weather. This is one of those years where I just can't see past the favourites - Day, McIlroy or Scott, for me. As with every major, I would love to think that Stenson, Westwood or Garcia will break their duck, but that's probably just a hope at Augusta (especially given the detriments of their games)

GMac. 15th/Firethorn. 236 drive. 282 approach?

 

[ChrisP]

From the looks of things, this Masters is gonna play a lot more like 2007 than 2015 when it was windy and cold and ZJ won with an over par score. 30+mph gusts expected Thursday and Friday. 15-20mph with cold temps on Saturday.

[nevets88]

Virtual walk through the store.

In fairness, it is an uphill drive and an approach to a green way below the brow of the hill. Still, a very cool round to see on Game Golf!

Would love to see Ricky break through and win a major this week.

Me too.  If I'm rooting for anybody in particular more than anybody else, it's him.  I was dead set on picking him in the contest thread too until I saw just how many people had already done so. 

[colin007]

I'm rooting for one of the following - Rory, DJ, Rickster, or Day

[Noles20]

Rooting order- Spieth and Fowler tied, then Rory, Day, DJ and Zach Johnson.

[ChrisP]

I like Rickie this week given his ability to play well in windy conditions. I think those kind of player with low ball flight are going to do well. Rory is not so good a wind player and putts really poorly in those conditions so not sure I like his chances.

I hadn't thought of that.  Very true.

Glitterati TST member @Phil McGleno got some airtime on Live From The Masters this evening, re: The Golf Machine, vis a vis Bryson Dechambeau.

Both Frank and Brandel had some nice things to say although Brandel not quite as fawning as Frank was, which stands to reason.

Ummmmmm no.

Does anyone know if CBS all access subscribers will be able to stream the weekend round coverage?  I see on the website they're showing featured groups and Amen corner on the cbssports site, but it doesn't say anything about the weekend CBS broadcast.

[Chris E]

lol Brandel leaving Bubba off his list.

I think he is the next favorite right behind Day. He obviously disagrees.
