Faldo already giving the jacket to Rory. I think Reed is probably better off playing with Rory tomorrow than he would be otherwise. He likes that underdog role and showed in the Ryder Cup he's not afraid of Rory. He also has a 3 shot advantage helping him. 

Hoping Reed wipes the floor with the field tomorrow.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

What is Tiger Woods's profession? Answer: he is an entertainer. That's how he makes his living. The entertainment he provides is playing golf, very well. Somehow, society has determined that playing g

I find it very strange -  and I doubt that I'm the only one -  that you seem to see anything that Woods does as a personal victory for you when it doesn't live up to the hopes of others. My hunch is t

Hoping Reed hangs in their and wins. I am glad he is not wearing those pants with the stoopid looking back pockets anymore.

I hope Reed and Rory fall back and put a bunch of guys in play. I just don't want a snooze fest in cruise control.

Buy you almost never get that. There can be  a swing of 8 shots on the back 9. And a 2 shot lead on 18 tee is no guarantee of a win.

Well...Faldo sees it that way because he’s used to winning by the leader folding completely. Faldo pulled a “Danny Willet” win on all three of his wins. Not just your average slip and Faldo taking the win, Faldo was served up historical chokes by the leader to get his wins.

 I would call the “Hoch choke” the only one of Faldo’s 3 wins where he truly backed into a victory. The other two no doubt he had some help but he also played great rounds and made a strong charge. Most don’t realize in the year that Norman collapsed that Faldo shot a flawless 67. It was a great round of golf.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'm kinda hoping for Reed to shoot closer to even par to make it exciting tomorrow.

I haven't read through to see if somebody mentioned this but Chamblee sucking snot up his nose during the entire Live From show is incredibly annoying.

Ray Floyd choked his guts out in 1990. Huge gift to Faldo from a guy with 4 majors before that.

“Some help” With Norman? No it was more than that. Norman could’ve shot even par and won. That’s not asking for anything amazing. Norman shot a 78. I agree a 67 was (is) a great Sunday round...but when you’re down 6 strokes...something miraculous has to happen....and it certainly did.

Welcome to the board - and great point.  One of the worst things Reed and Rory can do is get into a match play mentality, particularly early in the round.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Yes, two pretty big EGO's on the course you just know it's going get hot out there and just maybe for the guys behind they push a few shots ... I hear if REED scores sub 70 last day it will be the first time in masters history ever a player scores sub  on all four rounds >>> I don't personally think he will be the first

If that's the logic being applied, some might say that five of Faldo's six majors were "gifts." Does that make him a one time major winner?

But this is great news for Mr. Willett. All he has to do is play himself into contention on a regular basis and maybe he can become the greatest English golfer since Sir Nick Faldo.
