2019 Masters Tournament

Well, being Canadian and I watched Corey Connors 1st PGA victory last week to get him here, It's great to see he made the cut and is now only 4 shots off the lead. Not likely he's going to win but I guess you just never know. Great to see Day doing well despite his injury. Every time my wife see's me watching golf, the first thing she asks how's Tiger doing so of course hearing he's only one shot off the lead made her day.

Edit: Rory has just made a birdie from Sergio territory on the 13th though. His race feels run, but who knows if he can eagle 15 and then go stupid low tomorrow. Don't see it happening this year though.

I hate McIlroy. Picked him in my golf pool and he plays like this. Ugh. Can only pick him in one major (plus Players) and chose him for this and he lets me down. Casey also didn't do me any favors this week. Depending on Tiger and Rahm.

Finau has birdied the first three holes!   One stroke off of the lead!

I know the feeling. I pick him every year, watch almost every shot and just need to stop... Would love to see him get the green jacket, but it always leads to me getting frustrated each year.

Geez, is the course playing this easy? There's birdies all over the place. Pin positions didn't look to be that easy today. 

[ChrisP]

Jesus, Finau is tearing this course up. And he hasn't even played the par-5s yet.

[b101]

Phil -2 through 3 as well - what score do we reckon will lead tonight? My bet is on -12.

[Vinsk]

TIGER has just got to birdie the par 5's. Ridiculous. This is moving day, no bs mistakes, no wild drives. Damn it's so hard to watch sometimes.

[b101]

Wow, just seen Patrick Cantlay's round... Eesh. It's out there - what a day this could be!

[ChrisP]

Hate seeing Augusta play this easy and give up so many birdies, like this, but the course is pretty wet and guys are sticking these shots. Tomorrow (and maybe Monday) should be interesting with 20+ mph gusts in the forecast.

This better not be one of those days where Tiger makes 16 pars, a birdie and a bogey.

What would they delay because of? Wind or lightning?

[Vinsk]

I hope Tiger realizes today is not a day for pars. He's gonna get left way behind if he doesn't balls up soon. Geesh. Get the heat on damn it!

[ChrisP]

Eagle for Finau. Wow. He's got 62 or lower on his mind. You know he's going to tear up the par-5s on the back.

Eagle for Simpson, too. He's in 2nd.

Finau is on a roll, and not on his ankle this time. 

[ChrisP]

Ahem...Tiger...the gas pedal is the pedal on the right. You're hitting the one to the left of it.

[Vinsk]

Well it was a good run for Tiger. Maybe next year.

Poulter's driver swing is not a thing of grace, but it did the job.

At least it clears up Colin's weekend.
