Masters.com leaderboard has Sergio at -1, but their broadcast has him at -3.

I came to TST to find out what happened, I've seen somewhere (twitter, another board, ???) that there was a provisional played by Serg on 10; and that he was approached by a rules official.
If I can't get an answer soon, I'm certain it will be covered in a 30+ minute interview, which will be immediately followed by a 2 hour summary on the GC

Players play, tough players win!

I love what I'm seeing with Jose Maria right now.  Hit a ball way left on 13, immediately hit a provisional (OK, I didn't like either shot, but I love what happens next).  Found the first ball, apparently its unplayable, so he goes back as allowed, and drops.  No need to call a rules official, he knows the rules, no delay required.  Competent professional golf, knowledgeable about procedures and rules.  Bravo!

It is a system of do that when you are playing 2 fun rounds.

This seems to be the twitter consensus re: Sergio

And confirmed:

Aside - I'd like to see Sergio make a run at it.  If not, if would be cool to see Bernhard run deep into Sunday.  More fun when an old timer scares the leaders.

I guess Freddy has showed up for the first couple days.  That represents the old timers just fine too.

Sad to get to the Masters week and realize I haven't played golf since Thanksgiving :-( But at least I'm able to watch the game, and I have an event to get ready for in a few weeks that should motivate me.

But at least it's the Masters.  Hard to be in anything but a good mood when watching.

Fred taking a double at #6.

He loves getting in contention and getting us all excited and then goes and rips our heart out.

He's made a 13ft birdie putt on #7. Don't count him out quite yet...

I would love to see one of the following three to win: Sergio, Rickie Fowler or Rory.  Looks pretty good so far...

I've counted him out. We all have seen this story play out so many times.

Would love it to be any of them. If Rory has a day where he's on, I think he'll win it, but it all seems a bit too scrappy at the moment. 

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

He's not in contention until he sustains something to the back nine Sunday.

His most frequent MO is a couple missed short putts and loss of concentration sometime midway through the round on Saturday. Let's hope that isn't the case this year.

    • Shot a +1 73 today. Pretty pleased with the round even though it could have been 3-4 strokes lower without hitting it much different. 1 topped tee shot, a thinned wedge over the green from 40yds, and 2 putts that hung on the lip all could have made this a phenomenal round. 4 birdies total. Had an interesting back 9, 3 birdies, 3 pars, 3 bogeys and a penalty stroke. Birdied 1 and 18 so that was a fun way to start and end the round.
    • Try some Tour Balatas and an Alien wedge….😏
    • Fresh out of the box. Grooves look fine.
    • Day 17 (18 May 24) - after band rehearsal this morning got home to a rainy afternoon so no outside stuff today.  Had some things to tackle in the shop, so I took the time to roll some putts on the rugs in the shop.  Able to work on tempo and distance control as I have a rug that rolls really well…so it makes for some fun work with the putter. 
    • What ball were you using and how fresh are the grooves on your wedges? I practice chip shots with my gamer, and while it's a lower spin ball I'm still able to hit it. Not necessarily the one hop then stop on a dime, but a low one that hops once with a ton of spin and trickles maybe a few feet.
