Does someone have a shot on Henrik Stenson's face after he hit his approach to #18?

Just love Stenson. So, so good.

1. This could be an interesting Sunday for sure. We are getting a new Masters champion, unless Bubba or Spieth does something from 6 and 5 under.

A 54 from Tiger might not be enough for him.

And Nantz and Faldo really liked how Rory put all that "topspin" on his bunkershot on the 5th hole today. 

It probably did have topspin. It hit the front wall of the bunker.

You guys love to jump the gun on predictions. He could shoot 75 tomorrow. He could make a double on 18 today. Rewatch the 96 masters or the one Rory blew.

Plenty of time for errors and someone to go low.

:sigh:

He wasn't being serious. Duh.

I really like both Rory and Reed. I'm torn cause one could get his first major, and the other the Slam. I don't see anyone else winning, can't see both of the top 2 folding. Should be fun Tomorrow

I'm going to nitpick. Lundquist mispronounced Satoshi Kodaira's name rather badly adding a sharp K in the middle of the pronunciation. I'm a little biased about this I admit. Still recovering from all the mispronunciations during the Olympics.

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.

Point taken.  I stand corrected.

I was thinking back to that pairing as well.

Rory with another bogey-free round.  I still haven't had that six-free round.

Me neither.  And the courses we play may be just slightly easier.

Isn’t this what he looks like after most shots?

Yeah, probably. But a lot of the time he's got sunglasses on so his eyes aren't visible.

Maybe that’s why he wears them.  Of course my comment doesn’t mean I think it’s any less funny.

Add that to “Dustin Thomas” just minutes before.

I’m in the same boat. Reed has grown on me this week. Was never really a fan but he seems like he’s matured a lot and has gotten a lot more positive about things. He used to be too serious and immature for me a few years ago. Plus I got a couple bucks on him. But I also like Rory and think it would be neat for him to complete the slam. 

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I have a suspicion Rory is going to win. I just think the experience factor is huge, but I would not be surprised if Reed is able to hold him off and win the green jacket. I don’t think the winner will come from anyone else.
