Tiger just doesn’t have it today (like a number of others who are surprisingly scrambling).  Just needs to finish the round with minimal damage and regroup for tomorrow.

If he can somehow finish at 72 or 73, that won't kill him. But a 75 would, basically.

On a positive note, if you are at the Master's this year, you are getting some close up and personal experiences with Tiger...

The fairy tell hype is coming to reality once real bullets started flying. I like my 5 dollar bet a month ago on Leishman. He may not win it but should be there through the weekend.

 I'll bet he's sprained that ankle 100 times.

This being the social media age, Finau's ankle on Instagram.

I don't especially root for him (although nor do I root against him) - but, on this occasion, I'm kind of hoping Rory does well today and tomorrow, and then catches fire over the weekend.

Right, right, right. At least he's consistent.

It would be the only straight thing he did after #3, :-P

Oh how quickly you forget his tee shots on 2 and 3.

Finished watching the par-3 contest just in time for ESPN's live coverage to begin.  I guess I didn't see the ceremonial starters?  I'm sure I can find footage.

    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
