The Masters Golf

[LangleyBlue1970]

Just turned it on. Is Rory having a stinker?

Dechambeau looks excellent at the moment. Really good front nine. Just a shame we have to watch these featured groups and we can't see the actual field until 7.30

Just made 4 straight 3s to open the back nine! Not that I root often for the little rag but I'd love to see him have a shot here.

Yep third tee behind the roses, that Spanish lad got of lightly ;-)

That's true for golf generally . . . but not the Masters. Small field and 20%+ have no chance whatsoever (amateurs, older former champions, many though not all LIVers who are just coasting).

While Lee Trevino is the best player never to win it (and he played a fade; Augusta National requires a draw), Rory is arguably the second best player ever to never win it, along with perhaps Ernie Els.

It's a big hole in his resume, and a tournament he should absolutely have won by now given his relative talent.

Still a field of 90 odd players.
No one has won it consecutively since Woods 23 years ago, can’t see it happening again.

I had a free £1 bet from my bookies for The Masters and put it on the rag, reasoning being I love to see him crash and burn as his hope fads away but, should he actually manage it this time I'll be comforted by a few quid.

Not really. Started off 7 back, he's cut that deficit to 3.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Caught up now. Hotting up.

 

[N1985]

Anyone but the rag gnome please

 

[meltonblue]

He was very unlucky on the first one. Second one was dumb though.

I wouldn’t write him off yet though, before that he was playing the best golf of anyone I saw yesterday including Rose.

Ahem ;)

Bonkers start for the third round leaders.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Seriously good chip in for eagle from the rag ****, has to be said he’s looking ominous early on

 

[RobMCFC]

Incredible start for McIlroy. Every shot has been perfect so far.

As with Rose. Maybe he's hit the front too soon.

It's the psychological pressure that makes the leader play safe and the following pack play aggressive. Rory needs to keep this going.

Ps I know he's a rag but Bryson D... is a grade 1 arsehole so I'm rooting for anyone who can beat him.

 

[discopop]

Fucking hell he’s ripping it up

 

[waspish]

Well I might end up eating mega humble pie if Mcllory ends up winning this major especially after that double double bogey late in day one!

There still way more golf to play but Mcllory last 24 holes been perfect!

 

[JRockBlues]

1st player to start a Masters round with 6 straight 3's

He spammed that last drive big style he’s a rag but if Rose can’t win it I’d rather he did.

He is but with so major bottle jobs he frustrated me then lost belief in him for any major about 5 years ago and always expect him to balls up! Just maybe he has mastered his mentality and go on win it by 3/5 shots!
