In his words, before both of their third shots "I think I'd rather be where Rickie is than where Zach is for two.". Cue a Zach birdie and a Rickie bogey.

That was beautiful. Sad that they'll never learn...

I'm not convinced that either of these commentators have ever played golf before. They sound like they should be working the mic at Scores...I can hear both of them exclaiming "Give it up for Candy on the center stage"...

I was thinking the same thing.  At least 3 times I've seen a putt roll a foot past the hole, just missing right or left, and the announcer is screaming "Leaves that one JUST short!"

Spieth better not win this thing.  seriously.

As someone with free bets on both Day and Rors, I really hope not either!

[pumaAttack]

Spieth can win it.  Just not going away.  I want to see a tight leaderboard on Sunday.

Would anyone really be surprised? I have money on Day and Rickie, but you know Jordan has been prepping for this tourney all year and it looks like he's ready. And he's not that bad a wins player coming from Texas so that will only help him the next couple days.

Not sure who the commentator on the Masters live feed is, but clearly he needs to read LSW... In his words, before both of their third shots "I think I'd rather be where Rickie is than where Zach is for two.". Cue a Zach birdie and a Rickie bogey.

That was one of many dumb things they've said, yeah.

I have $5 each on 11 players at these odds:

Paul Casey 350
Charl Schwartzel 165
Justin Rose 90
Rickie Fowler 65
Adam Scott 55
Dustin Johnson 75
Henrik Stenson 90
JB Holmes 800
Marc Leishman 350
Hideki Matsuyama 160
Patrick Reed 165

Right arm above left indicating a fade?! Hard to imagine anyone even beginning to put that into action... You're right, there's too many!

Bets look good - Reed hasn't started brilliantly, sadly :(

"You want your hands past the ball at impact because that means you are hitting down"

Close, but no. Just means you are delofting the club; it says nothing about AoA...

Adam Scott at 55? Wow. Where did you get that?

It says that hitting down is more likely, but not that it's guaranteed.

Wow I need to visit that sportsbook. I bet Fowler but he was at 16-1 for me. Didn't play Scott but he was at 10-1. Bet Day but he was 7-1. It's very early yet but starting to regret not playing Spieth. Runner-up two years ago...big win last year....just a wild hunch, but he may know something about how to play this course.

I'm pretty sure those are the $5 odds. So 13:1.

[skydog]

I think DeChambeau might have a screw loose or two, but I like the guy. Odd for sure, but pretty entertaining and genuine.

Ahhhh...I gotcha. I misread it. I thought you got Scott at 55-1 odds. I was like "Woah" lol

+1

But no one is going to be surprised if he's in the mix on Sunday.

I'm rooting for Phil, Rory, and Day in that order.
