Golf - classic or dud

meant to come and post this here last week - was a great read. can't believe it was 20 years ago.

That was great

that four-stroke penalty yesterday is a true disgrace

Wrongy come lately, hush

the ability to call in and snitch on other players is probably the worst rule in any major sport

It's the best.

When football (real football, ie involving each) gets video refs I'm gonna start pushing for this next step

Deems amassing a cache of burner phones now for one-off uses in crucial matches.

nobody has broken 70 so far...and the wind is only getting stronger.

tangent's boy rickie going well, as was thomas pieter's until he went bogey, d-bogey at the start of amen corner.

willett started with a double, somewhat predictably given how useless he's been in the last 11 months, reckon he might get done by his amateur playing partner today.

adam scott's 4 ft putt for par blown by the wind before he putted to leave him with a 12 footer. lol.

amazing

nobody can reach 15 in 2 shots today and have seen at least 4 players rinse their 3rd shots into the water!!!

man they just showed Spieths meltdown from last year...still painful to watch

I still remember tt's glee with horror

toss up what was more extraordinary last year..the melt down or the fact he was 5 shots clear playing not all that well in the first place.

dj looks really injured on the practice area right now

Gaaah I just remembered his Postage Stamp aaaaah

Whyyyyy

woudl be cool if angel cabrerra would hang around the top of the leaderboard this week.

postage stamp spieth

shoudl DJ just sit or what?

nah bro it's the masters

yeah he's withdrawn i think

doctor told him he wouldn't do any more damage if he plays and 30 mins ago dj told butch harmon he'd give it a go and walk in if he can't play properly but now graphic on screen says WD

aw boo

olly level par thru 7. i'd love it if he could make the cut.

masters.com video not loading for me ughhh

don't make me study

'fell down the stairs' man idk

poor dj

jordan parred the 12th! now he'll have to answer a million questions about it.

pieters shitting up the back 9 now with the power lip out at
15.

So excited to start watching this when I get home. I have a genuinely good feeling about Rickie this time, founded on actual prospect rather than the usual mixture of lore and superstition.

No, he will be ground under history's heel YET AGAIN

was just reading about jeff knox, old news to u all I'm sure but very enjoyable

spieth butchering #15. has to get up and down from 10 yards over the back of the green to save DOUBLE BOGEY!

Today is just about survival

although i think every player will have a hole like that over the first 2 days with 30 mph winds. weekend should be calm tho.

xp

spieth just avoids a TEN

and wind or no wind 3 of those last 4 strokes were flat out awful

pieters -5 for his first 10 holes, +5 for his last 8.

jordan gutted those last 3 holes out really well after that quad. 75 ain't that bad.

pieters, rickie, matty fitz all doubled the last. ouch.

never even heard of this dirt mggirt fella

won at memorial last year, in sports illustrated anonymous player poll voted biggest overachiever.. not sure if thta's a compliment or not really.

interesting

jason day in Nike gear is kinda sad to me idk why

yeah should be adidas. matty fitz in under armour playing with spieth means i keep mistaking them when over their putts.

langer is indestructible.

would be awesome if he could make some noise

was in one of the last groups come the final round last year iirc

thats right he as hanging around.

what a putt from Bubba.
