Gotta post a low score today...​


Weather today is wonderful and is getting better for the weekend but still not great. Chilly, windy and wet. Big names are scoring today with Koepka appearing to make a run today. I am going with Spieth to win it. He has been playing well but no one is talking about him this weekend. Tiger was looking his age but is starting to make a comeback and went birdie birdie sitting at +1 right now playing 18

Your first sentence, “the weather … is getting better for the weekend,” you sure about this? I’m reading 70% chance of rain Friday afternoon, and 90% rain, over an inch, Saturday afternoon, drying out by noon Sunday.

Edit: the forecast has improved from what I wrote here.

Yes it is better... much better than what was modelled 2 days ago. The rain should hold off until the afternoon tomorrow with spotty showers possibly in the morning. Saturday is going to be cold and miserable with a steady rain. Sunday it should clear out before noon. Percentages of rain don't necessarily mean a steady rain. Looking at the computer models tomorrow morning until about 1pm there is about a 10% chance of rain, if it does rain most likely will be a shower. Not until the mid afternoon that steady rain moves in and saturday is going to be a mess (if they play saturday). Feel like temp saturday will be in the low 40s.... ouch that is chilly.

You can't win this tournament on Thursday, but you can lose it.
Usually that holds true but with the weather many of the pros are shooting at the flag today to make scores and the round shows it. Greens are receptive still from earlier rains and its warm there so many are flag hunting today with so many unknowns for the weekend.

Koepka looking good and healthy. A lot of big names at the top of the board.

Also of note and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not. Rahm with one major and Hovland without a major both were interviewed in Butler Cabin after their rounds ended. Koepka with four majors was interviewed in what looked like the locker room area. I would really like to see Koepka win - I've always liked him and the way he plays in the majors.

Or like usual, they list them in the order they finish the round. I know we all want it to be a PGA vs LIV thing but does not appear that way.

Nope. Try again. Hovland finished first then rahm then Koepka. Rahm listed at top.

Tiger hit the ball ok but putted as poorly as I’ve ever seen him, surprising, especially at Augusta. At one point was 0-6 under 10’! 😵💫

Got a bad break on his drive on #18, 18” to the right and he’d have had a normal stance.

Fun fact -- 16 of last 17 Masters champions have been at/within 4 shots of the lead after 1st round. There are 16 players who fit that bill after today's round:

Hovland, Rahm, Koepka, Young, Day, Lowry, Xander, Scott, Woodland, Scheffler, Bennett, Burns, Rose, Morikawa, Spieth, Finau.

Interesting....I live in Augusta and my local weather says 80% rain Friday....100% Saturday, and 50% Sunday.

Phil with a quiet 69 today and heads to Saturday at -4. Per usual a very nice leader board. Currently in a weather delay, but looking at radar I can't imagine they won't finish the 2nd round today. An amateur looks to be playing with Koepka late tomorrow afternoon. All in all another great weekend of Masters golf coming.

Koepka got a major break teeing off at 8:18 this morning. He got to play the round before the conditions got rough. Now we are in another delay, and the wind a cold is coming in for the weekend . Going to be touch yo catch Koepka…. But I am cheering for the college kid!

Rory will be joining all of us watching on the couch. Tell you it is hard to watch brandel chamblee and his good ole boy mentality. He is the Tony romo of broadcasting. At least Tony has a sense of humor.

Had the opportunity to go to the Wednesday Practice round and Par 3 contest. Truly a great experience just being on the grounds and seeing all of the sights that I have been watching on TV my entire life. It was amazing.
You had a hell of a day to be there with the bright weather (though a bit warm for those of us hauling tripods all over the yard). You pretty much got the full experience with the par 3 and being able to take pictures. The only thing you missed was Tiger since he took the day off.

Just watched the finish of the 2nd round. To say the 3rd is going to be a challenge is an understatement. Can't believe how long this course is now. Seeing players hit woods for 2nd shot from the fairway on 18 is wild.

I saw the forecast a few minutes ago. 1-2 inches of rain with 25mph - 30mph winds.

Rory should have spent less time running his mouth and more time working on his game. This baby is a 2 man race.
Yeah Rory will have the whole weekend to criticize the LIV golfers who are playing the final 2 rounds.

Going to be more than a two man race with conditions. We will see how it unfolds today. If they call it the leaders will have better conditions tomorrow. Rory on his couch with the rest of us.
