By my count, Tiger has drained twelve putts today.  ;-)  As per the ruling in the 1962 U.S. Open playoff, in stroke play you must hole your shot to finish the hole. 

Haha by my definition he’s made tap-ins not putts.

But he made one there on 13. Finally.


Am I hearing people booing Kuchar or are they just saying "Kooch"? On the tee it sounded like people saying "Kooch", but when he drained the eagle putt it sounded a lot like booing (but could just be because the mics are a ways away from the patrons).

If it's booing, I feel bad for the guy since I don't think he did anything wrong. It's open for debate as to whether he did or not, but booing someone is just poor taste and I'd be surprised that Augusta isn't removing patrons for it since they're known to be so strict with etiquette. 

I imagine Phil's jabs at Kuchar this morning probably didn't help with public sentiment towards him any, at the very least.

Whoa, 10th tee start for half the field tomorrow.  Is that the first time in Masters history they have done this?  I understand why.

Wow Augusta National going against the wishes of TV and teeing off early. Never saw a major do that. Usually television has the final call with majors.

I'm just making a dad joke ;-)

I think they're just saying Kooch, his nickname.  I can only remember players chanting boo at two different players:  Weekley and Poulter, and that didn't happen at the Masters.

The weirdest part about the Sunday tee-times to me is that on a Sunday at a major they're starting people on the back 9 AND going in 3's.

I can understand the threesomes, but splitting between holes 1 and 10 just seems weird to me.

Going to have a British Open Sunday feel to it. 

I forget where you live but I'm on the west coast and am going to have to change my day plans for this.  Happy to do it.

I’m really shocked they’re doing it but applaud them. I remember past years when tournament officials went against the forecast and teed off to please the tv executives. Only bad part is the wind is supposed to really howl tomorrow.


Oh sure, that one doesn't go right ... (Tiger, tee shot, 15)

Tiger is in shock he hit a 5-iron and the ball went 240 yards.

In fairness to Tiger, I'd be shocked if I hit a 5-iron that far, too.

Probably just going to be the bottom half of the leaderboard teeing off at 10.

Tiger is now one shot off the lead.  Double digits under par in a major.  C'mon Tiger!

I had to look up what you meant.  Figures I'd get cable TV after the show stopped.  Anyway, Tony Finau was in Big Break Disney (I had to look it up).  I don't think anyone has.

I mean, guest stars -- Lorena Ochoa showed up at Big Break Mexico at one point, I think.  But she wasn't a contestant.

Noticed Woods has maybe the pin position sheet in his front left pocket. I can’t play with anything protrusive in the pockets.

The cream rises to the top on moving day. Don’t write off the big cat though.

Remember its just a game.....more serious than life and death.

Going out in tbreesomes gives Tiger a good shot of getting in last group if he can get in at -11.

Jesus does this Molinari have a weakness?

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
