It's Masters Thursday.

Here in Ithaca it's snowing. In Augusta who knows... It's definitely better than here. What the hell?

Can't be too warm there, I can see Jack's breath.

It's pretty warm here (Tampa).  Don't worry northerners, Spring is coming. And you have the greatest golf tournament in the world to watch this week!

That was hard to watch.  Ouch

Tony Finau, who dislocated his left ankle while celebrating a hole-in-one during the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday at the Masters, had an MRI on Thursday morning and has been cleared to play, his agent told ESPN.

Chris Armstrong, Finau's agent, told ESPN that Finau's plan is to tee off at 12:43 p.m. ET with Bernhard Langer and Yuta Ikeda in the first round of the Masters.

I think it's like 41 degrees.

Saturday could be interesting.

Sadly, the live coverage sucks to everyone outside of US. Those with Sky can watch featured groups with the red button, but without that you are left to shadier websites to watch anything. It baffles me why they don't add a subscription like PGA Live, or even better, let PGA Live stream it. It's being filmed and distributed, just to a small portion of the viewers.

I think it's a bit to early for Tiger. You will need your A game to win at Augusta. I think he is not really there yet. My hopes go out to Ricky Fowler.

You can't even watch the featured groups on masters.com?

Here are the results of his last 3 events. What about those statistics indicate to you that he is not really there yet?

The dialogue on Clubface Control on the masters.com live warm up session is actually pretty good....and accurate.

Rumor has it they saw this guy sneaking out of Finau’s house last night...

Just look at the way he misses his drives and greens. It's not just a miss it's a big one. something you just can't do at Augusta.

No, that's limited to US residents only.

Even though he is 23rd in strokes gained tee to green and gains more than a stroke per round against the field tee to green... and 6th in strokes gained around the green, so when he is missing greens he's still doing just fine. 

He also has better scoring averages than Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose, Paul Casey, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and John Rahm but you are trying to say that he's "not really there yet"??
