I'm liking Oosthuizen.

I think him and Molinari are dangerous  this weekend. Could see either of those two winning.

In our law school 3-round Masters snake draft I picked Molinari, Kisner, and Schauffele.  Looks like I did pretty well at the halfway point.  Nonetheless, I hope Tiger wins.

Yeah.  I'm thinking, with weather coming, that the tortoise has an advantage over the hare.

No one talking about Day?! Idk why but I like him. Injuries plague him a bit yeah but he has a game when he gets going. Heck bad back and happening before round 1 and he is still tied for the lead.

Rose missing the cut killed my pool. Can’t believe how bad he did this week. My other wildcard pick besides Day is Schauffele and he caught a bit of fire today. Im excited for this weekend.

The only person I’d be ok if they ran away with it would be Tiger. I mean that would be really cool to watch.

The guy no one is talking about is Justin Harding. I mean come on. There’s the sleeper in all of this. He’s ready to pull a Ben Curtis and leave all the big names in the dust.

After the first round I put money to WIN on Molinari 23:1  Kisner 35:1 DJ 7:1 ..... and for top5 Schauffele 3.25:1

Would be HUGE for Tiger to win ... also both the Aussie boys looking good 

sadly no NZ'er in play

Watching some of the replay, the par at 13 really hurt

And the pars at 17...and 18. To be fair, I saw a terribly high number of putts from all manner of players where putts rolled right over painted holes. 

On the flip side he made the bomb on 9 nobody should have made. A two shot gift. If it hadn't gone in he would have been lucky to have a 15 footer for par. Yeah, she taketh some but giveth too/two. 

And then how about this leaderboard??! I mean...damn.

Does anybody have an extra Master's ticket for the weekend?....Anybody? Will do your and your entire family's laundry for a year. Anybody??.... No? (chirp chirp chirp).... ok, alrighty then. Just thought I ask.

I presume if you look hard enough you will get a chance to see Jeff Knox today - Eddie Pepperell is first off today at 9:05, with a marker

Yeah that's true. Gotta say I've pretty much had my fill of Knox. Yeah I get it, he's the best golfer on the planet and can beat anybody at Augusta. Heard it a million times. Great. Got it. I'd have much more interest having them choose someone else as a marker and have him caddie for one of the players. His knowledge of the greens would be epic.

Don't know if this has been posted already -- Augusta.com reports  Ian Woosnam has announced that he's done as a Masters competitor.

I'm guessing (mildly and wildly) that Larry Mize, Jose Maria Olazabal, Sandy Lyle and Fred Couples will follow suit -- maybe next year if not this year. As for ageless wonder Bernhard Langer -- who knows?

Just saw Tiger paired with Poulter. Ha ha.. Theater. Theater.

Freddie and Langer have a while yet. They can still compete. Freddie had a rough year but he'll go to 65. Mize and Sandy are probably done soon. Cabrera and Olazabal seem to have lost their games but they may still tee it up til they're in their 60s since they have the right to.

Rory's window to win may be shut. Had chances to score on the front 9 and instead gave strokes away. Looking at his demeanor, he seems to know he's cooked. Probably the most shocking result of all as I really thought he would be in the hunt. Even after yesterday I thought he'd shoot himself back in contention. But now I think he's finished.

And just as I say that...he bogeys again.

Damn...every player out is under par for today’s round. This is gonna get nuts!

I'm not watching. Assuming the course is still soft?

McIlroy is having a rough day.  4 bogies thru 11

Classic case with him where he's trying to force things and second guessing a lot. Long game has been awful by his standards - it's not been the putting this time around - he made a huge putt on four as well. So many mistakes over this year's tournament for him.

[dennyjones]

Cantlay has 7 birdies so far thru 15!   WOW!
