This has probably been mentioned already, but how in the check do we watch Tiger tomorrow? You'd think he'd be in a featured group online at the very least. I'm seeing 3pm est on ESPN and then some special cameras on CBS sports.com

 

Tiger is in the featured groups on Masters website/app. We will see if their streaming server can handle the demand.

??? what about the grandkid? I'm not watching...

The tradition is to let the caddies, most of whom are family members, hit a shot at #9.  Jack's 15 year old grandson holed his.  Great moment for Jack and the kid.

And Tom Watson won, at age 68, at -6.  Jack was 3rd at -4 and Gary was 9th at -2.  Pretty special afternoon for these guys, with the kid's ace being the cherry on top.

Even more impressive given the strength and depth of field!

This can't be real but what did I miss with Sorenstam and trapeze?

 

Obviously not real, but I do hope that the security people are encouraged to remove anyone who yells out anything that is obnoxious. And I think that does happen.

Definitely not real. I had a "JUSTICE FOR HARAMBE" sign yesterday and all I got was fist bumps.

Golf digest is saying that finau dislocated his ankle but the x-rays didn't show a break.  He's getting an MRI tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up. I got to see the replay tonight. The grandson must have GOAT blood coursing through his veins.... LOL

He's married with kids. Paige is engaged to a former minor league baseball player. (it's scary that I know this...) I saw a You Tube video where Finau and her fiancée combined to set a world record for catching golf shots over 100 yards.

Man tomorrow can’t come quick enough...I’m ready to get this thing started! So much potential for a truly great tournament.

Oh yeah? Guess the punctuation/grammar was off in an article I read. “Finau and fiancée Spirinac ....must’ve meant Finau and Fiancé of Spirinac...good call...now I can go back to liking Toni...lol.

[Shindig]

Okay, I didn't get to watch at work and I actively avoided spoilers.  I TiVo'd the Par-3 challenge and will now set down to watch.  I am turning off my phone and will not be live posting the way I would if I were watching it... well, live.  I miss everyone and will be watching tomorrow!

If Finau's ancle didn't hurt, he would be kicking himself pretty hard right now. What a way to potentially drop out of the tournament. If he plays, the ancle could still hinder him.

The Finau Paradox

He'd kick himself if he hadn't dislocated his ankle; but if he didn't dislocate his ankle, he wouldn't want to kick himself.
