SPS:

The only place where you can have active threads on The Stones, Wrestlemania, Talladega, and The Masters... Surely we have at least 1 person on the board that has been to all four live. Yep, an SPSer and Jon Daly are the only 2 humans to have completed this fourplay.

Gold is hard to pick a single winner but:

There are 3 favorites - Mcllroy, Scheffler & Rahm . Who you got, one of those three or the field?

The field includes a bunch of former Major winners, former Number 1s, a plethora of young talent, the LIV Golfers wanting to prove something, talent from across the pond, a Tiger and basically the deepest field since late last year and before LIV golf. Who you got in that scenario. I think I am going with the threesome of Rahm, SS & Mc.

Also, here's a cool video on the 12th hole.


Shmuley's predictions.

Jason Day will be lying down in the fairway at some point.
Will Zalatoris will double clutch a 2 and 1/2 footer at a critical juncture.
Elin's punching bag will not contend, but you'll think he is contending.
Cam Smith will say "17 you" on TV to the PGA again like he did on 18 at St. Andrews.
Nance will reference "that other tour" without calling its name at least 14 times.

There is absolutely no program on tv that I sleep better to than Jim Nance whispering about Amen Corner in the background as soothing music leads you into a Buick commercial. Only Bob Ross painting "Happy Little Trees" comes even close

My favorite Masters moment was when Fuzzy Zoeller opined on what Tiger Woods would serve at the champions dinner.

Cool video. I'll go with Scheffler
Hard not to pick him. He has an entire bag full of shots. You have to wonder if the weather will affect the tourney and which Speith will show up for each round. Rory has a shot as well as Rahm. After that you have a small group who might contend but Scheffler and Rory are playing a different game than the rest when they are on.

My luck someone unexpected will jump out of the pack.

Scheffler is the most obvious pick. But I'm going with Spieth. What I want to know is did the LIV and PGA tour players have a food fight last night at the Champions dinner?

It would have to be ATT, IBM, or Mercedes Benz.

Buick can’t make that ANGC rent

I saw Tiger doing a presser and after seeing him my money would not be on him. He looks like what Magic Johnson should have been looking like in ‘92-‘93

I'll take JDay or Zalatoris(leads the field in Masters overall scoring per round)...

It was really fun watching the par three today and seeing guys like Rory and Spieth with their kids. Gary Player was great!

Watching their mood on the greens today I will throw out three more names.
Justin Thomas
Bubba Watson
Bruce Koepka

Yeh, he may not make the cut. I’m pulling for Rory to get his slam but think JT is going to post an early number Sunday that no one else playing later can get to.

I dont know what the temp is in Augusta right now, but Tiger is already sweating like a ***** in church. Shirt is completely soaked! I am guessing he will prefer the cooler temps of the weekend.

It is quite humid over here today...but Tiger was already sweating through his shirt on #2. I felt confident he would make the cut, but right now it doesn't look too good.

Speith appears to be collapsing already. Nice to see Jason Day back on a leaderboard.

Watching the replay now. Rory doing interviews while playing. Wow. Can’t believe a player is doing that during a round, especially during a major. Announcer alluding to it being something new this year. Pretty cool to hear him talking about his yardage and what he’s about to hit. Gotta believe that doesn’t happen without LIV shaking things up.

I'm guessing Fuzzy had a few drinks at that point and regrets saying it. BTW, I'm white and eat turnip greens on a regular basis.
