Would he be the first back-to-back, wire-to-wire winner?

A lot of guys crapping out early, lots of long faces really doesn't make for an entertaining Masters. It's Friday and they're getting beat down by a soft course I don't get it.

He's fixing to bogie 4. 94 ft from the pin.

He put his 94 foot lag putt within 4 feet...

AND 

Drains the par.  Biggest difference between Jordan and Rory is Jordan's ability to putt.

That wasn't the question.

Yes, he would be the first back to back wire to wire winner. 

I did answer it - I just thought it was clear because neither Woods, Faldo nor Nicklaus were on the list I posted.

There is only 10 players under par today on their rounds.  Spieth hopefully will come back a bit.

Crazy. He parred, on these greens from 94 feet.

Understood. No worries. 


Didn't know you could mark your ball when its off the green like that. 

Kaymer just had Rory mark his ball on number #11.

What stream are you watching? Maybe Rorys ball was in the way.

Yes you can mark it, but you can't clean it.

Amen Corner stream. 

His ball was in the rough/fringe and he marked it for Kaymer.  It was in the way but didn't know you could mark off the green.

From the looks of it Spieth isn't going to be expanding the field with the those within 10 strokes clause; however it is still early in the round.

Players play, tough players win!

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
