Seriously. I don't get this. I know he's looked sharp so far and that is good. But aside from the unknown whether or not his chip yips will return under tournament pressure ( I speculate they will) he hasn't played any comepetitive rounds in forever. 15 to one seems like a stretch...Originally posted by DFSNOLE:
Bettors have moved the line on Tiger from 50/1 to 15/1.A fool and his money......
well, it was only the front 9 because he got DQ'd (let his kid tap in).
it will be an accomplisment if he can make it to Saturday without a WD, or even break 70. How many years has it been since he broke 70 at Augusta?

I like where their head is at.

Tiger still hasn't broken 70; is tied with Brooks Koepka and is a stroke behind Jonas Blixt.
Jonas is even and 6 strokes off the lead.

Spieth has his eyes on a course record--and may get it if he keeps hitting fairway irons off the stick. The kid is on fire right now.
Was there today. Probably the craziest shot I saw today was Mike Weir hitting his second shot on 9. He was in the pine straw and hit a driver. Was a good shot but no way I could pull that move off.
Tiger showed he has the guts of a burglar today. Could have been a lot worse...Originally posted by Lemon Thrower:

What are fairway irons? What is "the stick"?
Do you mean hitting irons off the tee?

Good first round. Great seeing Spieth continue the great golf. Hopefully he'll keep it up the next three days.
Around here, the long irons are often called "fairway irons"; the stick would be the flagpole in the cup.Originally posted by RunRonnieRun:

Maybe it's just a local colloquialism.

The Atlanta exurbs are a strange place. In town we just call them long irons.
The stick = the pin everywhere though. Fair 'nuff

Looks like they're going to get really lucky with the weather. Rain coming in late and should be out by the start of the round tomorrow. Hope it's not enough to soften the greens.
Really? In 25 years of playing golf, I have never heard anyone say "fairway irons".Originally posted by seminoleed:

Yep, thinking the same thing. I was waiting for the bomb to drop on his first round but it never did. I think at this point he could go either way.
After yesterday and getting over the Masters first round jitters/first tournament in a while jitters, I don't think he repeats that performance. He either goes to 4 under or crashes and burns and misses the cut.
Spieth was on fire, if he plays the same today, he can coast Saturday and Sunday and win the thing.
How about Ernie Els? He showed up out of nowhere.
When Tiger won The Masters in 1997 he won $486,000. Last year, Bubba took home $1,620,000. Nothing to do with today's conversation, but wow.
More topically, Spieth needs to be wary of the R2 slump (see Freddie in '10). If he can post any number under par he's got a great shot at running it wire to wire. The last wire to wire winner was Immelman in '08. With opening rounds of 68-68-69 he was able to limp in with a 75 on Sunday and still maintain a comfortable lead throughout.

same here. and have always heard stick refer to your club, not the tee and certainly not the pin that is in the cup (not the tee box).Originally posted by ncnole1975:

Forgot the cut is top 50 and ties. Tiger is right on the line now. Anything over par and he probably doesn't make it.

I wouldn't mind Spieth winning but I want it to at least be a competitive four rounds. Seems very possible he wins this thing going away.
