My lord Stenson won't ever win a major putting like that.

What exactly happened to get Bryson to hitting 4 behind that shack?  Did he take a drop or punched out?

He hit two wide left.  I believe he found the second one.

Ohhhh.  I didn't know he hit two tee balls.  Thanks!

150 for me. I think I would be "fine" off the tee, but leave myself with fairway woods and layups on all 4s and 5s. Then I would expect to 4 putt at minimum every single hole. Throw in a solid 10 on #15 and #1. I would not be happy and my 7 iron would be snapped in half on #8

One of the great things about ANGC is that it is very playable under normal conditions. Unlike some courses it is actually enjoyable to play from the regular tees.

Yes.  I believe the second was a provisional, which became the ball in play.

I think that putt exemplifies why Spieth does so well at Augusta. Stenson and others like him are used to powering putts through the break, but the speed plus the severe slope on the greens at AN make that very costly - more break than you expect on short putts and more roll out on misses long.

Stop whining about the clock Jordan. You do take alot of time. While we are young.

[Chilli Dipper]

For all that Jason Day's been through since the turn yesterday, he's only five shots back.

There are more than a few players in the morning wave who are back in contention, which is not where they thought they'd be when they finished.

CBS and its tendency to hagiography seeps into ESPN.

Faldo and the "pull of Rae's Creek" affecting the putt on 18.

Agreed. I decently like Spieth but the amount that he and his caddie belabor every decision has got to stop.

Yeah, poor Jordan had to deal with not everything going his way at Augusta.

Wow Bryson is an impressive young guy when the mic is in his face. Major props to him.

I like his demeanor a lot more after that interview.  Took his bad bounce and is moving on.  Would love to see this kid compete over the weekend.

[skydog]

Watching Bryson swing the golf club is like nails on a chalk board for me, but I like his personality and would love to see him contend this weekend.

I think you could put Day in that category as well. His shot routine is not exactly speedy.

The coverage is atrocious. Who chooses what to screen and what not to?   Surely a non-golfer.???

[sarena1594]

Did Phil make the cut?  Why is ESPN not showing him on 18?
