2018 Masters Tournament Discussion Topic

Pin positions today from what I've seen so far are setup for some good scores. Pretty easy pin on 12 and 15 from what I've seen. Should see a lot of birdies on 13 again. Softer conditions will make the front right on 16 a little more accessible. 18 will be tricky with the back left. The back pin on 9 isn't all that difficult as it takes away the danger of the front falloff. Just need to be careful of spin. But overall, doesn't seem to be as difficult as the pin setups from the first two days.

Agreed - from watching Mickelson and Hatton, 10 and 11 also look much more manageable due to the rain.

How is Phil's caddy's jumpsuit long on the shoulders and flood pants at the same time? Does anyone know if they taylor these for the caddys?

[Dr. Manhattan]

Jason Day with a great start at -3 through 7 holes and -1 overall for the championship. Hopefully he can keep it going the rest of the round. 

[Zeph]

The jumpsuits can't be the favorite attire of caddies out there, but at the same time it means they are out there at the Master.

 

I hope Rory will be able to get something going today. Not the same level of excitement in the crowds following Tiger today.

Lovely chip in for Phil. Even if he took the flag out... Silly man.

[Zeph]

Can Tiger get the spectators to uproot a few trees? 

 

Nice shot. He's pretty good at those big curvy shots. If only the straight ones were as good.

This is where golf is just depressing to watch. Second shot into 15, Phil as the ball massively below his feet with 263 yards to the flag. Ends up flying the green by 10 yards. I can't carry it that far with my driver on a flat surface and a tailwind...

You’re really depressed that the best players in the world are better than you?

No. That they are so much better than me.

[ChrisP]

 Looking at the scores, 63 is definitely out if someone is clicking on all cylinders today. 

[Zeph]

Jordan, Rory, Patrick. They can shoot something low out there today with some stellar iron play.

[b101]

This is set up so nicely. Come on, let's have a great afternoon/evening's entertainment

[Dr. Manhattan]

Spieth with a billion times better tee shot at #1 today compared to yesterday. Hopefully a good omen for him.

@colin007 is about it.

Yup. Teasing? Just friends.

[Dr. Manhattan]

Bubba and Fowler are already -2 on their rounds very early. Let the games begin! 

[colin007]

God Tiger has made so many unforced errors...His chip by the green on 13 for instance.

I really don't understand why he has so much trouble slinging a big hook off the tee there...
