The Masters Golf

[Don Karleone]

I assume this is done now, yeah?

 

[RobMCFC]

3-shot lead with 5 holes to play? You’d think so the way Sheffler has been chipping, but you never know.

 

[Don Karleone]

Wow

 

[andyhinch]

Wow

He had a great round tbf

 

[N1985]

Some shot from Mcilroy that. Rag ****

Midget Rag ****.

Little wobble on the last from Scheffler but a well deserved win. Nice little $2.7m prize too! Gulp.

And people complain how much footballers earn.

Not a bad wage

 

[Banshee]

Did I hear right, that's his 4th win in 6 starts so far this year...that's some going

not bad at all, however it is a bit different with golf. Golfers actually earn their crust from week to week. if a player is missing cuts left right and centre they'll be getting bugger all.

And will have some costs as well presumably for travel, hotels, caddies etc (unless they are covered by sponsors). The top players will do very well but not sure about those outside the top 100 or so.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Got this years on now. A pleasant evening with the patio open, a few beers and nobody here to annoy me.

McIlroy tees off in an hour.

 

[big gaz]

Wow hope you all enjoy ;-)

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Got a few quid on Morikawa which was looking good till the last few holes! Still just about in contention though so hopefully get some value from it if nothing else.

How many times does Justin Rose do this in the first round of The Masters? Incredible.

I reckon he's going to be around top 5 or 6 on Sunday,so should get a run for anybody who's backed him myself included

From BBC Sport before he tee'd off:

So watch out for Jordan Spieth and especially Justin Rose (17:00 BST), as they're right up there with some of the sport's greatest ever players who have held the most leads at Augusta after the first round.

Most first round leads at the Masters

• 4 Jack Nicklaus
• 4 Justin Rose
• 3 Jordan Spieth
• 3 Arnold Palmer
• 3 Gary Player

Bit of good news when I looked early evening that Irish rag wanker was doing well, shame a round of golf is 18 holes eh Rory?

Can already cash out for 9x my stake on him, but will get that anyway if he finishes top 8. Also backed Conners, so a decent start!

He's too good not to win another (barring injury)
