I didn't know until this past week that Rose holds the record for the most times having the lead after day one of The Masters. He must really love those Day 1 pin placements.

Good to hear you are back out there. 8 GIR's doesn't suck. To my untrained eye your swing looks pretty much how I remember it. So, I'd be surprised if you loose too much ground. BTW - You probably got injured because you were too jacked. ....

Oh, I'm sad now. By his definition I am "jacked". Do I have to go back to being described as "in not too bad of shape for a guy of my age"? 🤣

The first one in almost 60 years who isn't named Tiger Woods. 👍

Schwarzenegger never won The Masters either... Think about that. .....💪

So, @klineka and @Zeph are you guys trying to imply that winning majors is difficult? Perhaps, that's why Rory becomes the first golfer (not named Tiger Woods) in almost 60 years to win a career Grand Slam?

Honestly, I was so confused by their argument. I didn't really respond. I'm not exactly sure. Start times the first two days were mentioned, and so was course layout, but neither of those made sense to me.

I can't believe this happened. I went to the range today on lunch. (Okay, that I can believe happened.) Here's the unbelievable part: Two guys at the range were trying to convince anyone who would listen that The PGA intentionally set up The Masters so that Rory would win it. Because they "needed" Rory to win The Masters. I've heard some whacky conspiracy theories in my life. But this one is on the list of the whackiest of them all. This is even better than the frozen envelope theory. 🤷‍♂️

I have to say I agree with Ben. It was impressive. I enjoy the Masters every year, I feel like this year gave us something really entertaining, but it's also possible I'm just a prisoner of the moment.

I'm going to pile on @TommyRude. The more I think about this take the funnier it gets in my head. Colin Montgomerie lost at least three majors down the stretch that I can think of. 1994 US Open shot 78 in a three-person-play-off losing to Ernie Els (and Loren Roberts). Montgomerie pulled drivers left and pushed them right the entire play-off round. 1998 Masters; pulled three of his last five approach shots left. Ended up finishing tied for eighth. 2006 US Open was tied for the lead (with Phil). He was sitting in the middle of the fairway on 18. Hit his approach short, pulled his chip shot long left, 3 putted. Therefore clearly, Colin Montgomerie's reliance on bulky musculature and overly testosterone driven attitude obviously caused these issues. 😁 If you want to go the other way, I know Brooks Koepka has credited all five of his majors to the fact that he's powerfully built. ... I'll suggest DeChambeau may say the same thing.

This happened to Jordan Spieth as well. He won 3 majors. 2 in 2015 and 1 in 2017. Then he got all buffed up and now he doesn't win majors anymore. It's his huge muscles that are ruining his game. 💪

Here's a drinking game for you. Every time the announcers say "The influence of Ray's Creek" or "Take your medicine" you take a drink. Just so you know I've been watching it for 10 minutes and I'd already be drunk.

I'm not sure. What could this do that any of the documentaries on this dude haven't already done? I will say, I remember this unfolding in real life back in the day. My sister and I watched this as it happened. Then we heard about the fact that the studio wasn't going to pay him. But then they finally did pay him.

Congratulations! That's awesome!

Another reason I'd take second place with the meltdown at the end is, at least for our tournament, second place prize money is pretty good. Where as outside the top 25 gets nothing.
