Delayed by a couple of hours due to weather meaning a few will need to finish their first round tomorrow
Bryson DeChambeau setting the pace posting a -7 65 round. Fairly certain Danny Willett is only ever seen in Augusta
Tiger started well (-1 through 3) and Scheffler poised behind the leader
Who we got winning it this year?

Fancied Aberg for this one. Usually a couple of pre tournament picks then a few in play each round to keep it interesting

Thought he was a racing certainty this week, albeit it’s nowhere near done yet obviously.
Incredible player.
Oh and Cantlay, because that’s my habitual back these days.

Speith with a 9 at a par 4 was quite amusing to see.
Woods looks completely immobile. He can hardly walk.

Amazingly tiger will play out the weekend. Think they said he's played 24 holes today
Incredible

Woods did brilliantly given his lack of competitive golf and the state of his body.

Rory...
He's so in his own head. I almost feel like he has to 'give up' and lower his expectations going forward, and just accept that he might not win one in his career. He will definitely scoop a PGA/US Open at somepoint but some of his decision making at Augusta is baffling. I think the only way he wins the Masters is if the conditions are perfect all week, and he has a bit of luck added in.
I think it was 12 yesterday where Scheffler hit a low draw into the green, clearly the right shot to play in the conditions then Rory having watched that decided to go for a high one and plop it went. Crazy decision making.

I agree with what you've said otherwise. I'm a huge mcilroy fan, but he's so frustrating. He's arguably the best player there is but he beats himself so often.
I'd start by making him get a proper caddy on his bag, someone to talk him through and help him. Harry is his mate but there doesn't seem to be much guidance from him. He almost needs what Billy gave Fitz at the US. Steady hand.
How many times have we seen Rory play himself out it and then on Sunday play unbelievable golf to fall short? He just needs to manage his game better at times.
Let's see, he's 10 back with two days left. We'll know a lot more tonight.
I can't see anyone except Scottie winning though.

I don't see him winning at Augusta anytime soon, hence the comment why I feel he needs to 'give up' in his mind. It might just be the catalyst that relaxes him, to the point where he almost doesn't care about it...and then guess what happens after that.

Had he won that I think his whole attitude would be different.
The pressure they heap on him pre masters is ridiculous.

He's bogied the first. Pack and up and go home Rory.

Morikawa has come flying out the traps. 3 under through 3
1 behind Scheffler who took the outeihbt lead after a ridiculous chip in on the first

A double bogey followed by a bogey dor Scheffler takes him back to -4
3 way tied for the lead on -6. Ideally for me, aberg is one of them who I backed @ 20/1 with a fiver

Looks an absolutely class Sunday back 9 with the 4 leaders in the final 2 groups all within a shot. Almost turns it into a match play!

Bit of an anti climax tbh. Deserved winner but he's just so... dull.

For "dull" replace "professional"?
I like Scheffler. Way different from guys like Cantlay. Brilliant performance yesterday. And the others just withered away.

It was a great tournament overall though and plenty points of interest - including a very strong first major from Aberg, who looks very much like he can be a regular challenger to Scheffler over the coming years.

I actually really like Cantlay too.
On Mcilroy (and it probably ties in a bit with the above.. he’s more exciting as he throws in so many poor shots and misses) I don’t buy that he’ll definitely win a major again. I’d say it’s more likely he doesn’t… I like the guy and he’s shown in the past he’s capable of absolutely awesome stuff. But he seems a long way away from putting 4 rounds together of that play and dominating a big tournament, and there are so many players currently ahead of him now compared to maybe 10 years ago.Last edited by WeeRussell; 15-04-2024 at 01:45 PM.

In terms of Rory wonder if all the liv chat has taken its toll. Seemed at one point it was him against the world. Assume he must have felt a little letdown by some of the players jumping ship. For a guy of his ability does seem to make so many errors.

Saw a question online earlier.
Do you think you could win the masters if you started every hole on the green, at the furthest point of the green from the pin.
I’ve only played golf properly for about 6 months but it’s a resounding no from me.

I just can't take to Scottie - the constant slip thing he has going on with his back foot is bloody ugly (now I've realised it's intentional).
