If you were going to bet on which was going to miss the cut, Tiger or Rory, I think most of us would've lost money.
Rory needs to layoff the weights and take up surfing....Dudes getting thick.

There has been some great golf played the last few days but I am not too happy with the lack of coverage. I know they want to show the leaders but their coverage is all over the place and doesn't flow well.
That being said, it looks like Tiger is slowly getting his game back in order. Didn't like the F-bomb yesterday. He needs to relax and take it one shot at a time.
Jordan should pull it off which would be nice for the game. Anybody but Phil!

Not relevant to this year's Masters, but awesome video at the top of this article. I believe it was aired at the end of the round Friday.

16th
Just about all of these guys Fbomb their way around the course nowadays. Listen to Bubba, he does it. Jason Day dropped a quad-Fbomb on his 2nd shot out of the fairway bunker on 18 on Thursday. They're competitors, and that's just the way it is nowadays.
Is it just nowadays or is the mic just a bit better with more coverage of sounds around the course? I have a feeling guys have been f-bombing pull hooks on tour since the good ol days...
Dude is definitely different. Constantly crying, it seems. Hey, emotion is fine -- within reason -- but I don't expect to see athletic celebrities balling every time I see them. This guy is a multi-millionaire whose life is relatively cushy. Sack up, dude.Originally posted by rhurner:
I don't get this either. Bubba is as genuine a db as there is. Just ask the other guys.Originally posted by seminoleed:

As odd as the crying, he was at the 18th green on Friday when Crenshaw came off for the final time. Kept his hands locked behind his back. No handshake with Ben, although that was obviously in order. Not sure if he is a germ-a-phobe or simply does not know how to conduct himself. Odd.
Yet he came down to congratulate Spieth's parents and shake hands with them. Maybe he's too young to realize what kind of player Crenshaw was, I dunno. But don't get the db references at all.Originally posted by JohnnieHolmesNole:

Dude is 36, so he's not exactly "young." Understand that his appearance at the 18th green -- both for Crenshaw and today -- was highly orchestrated by The Masters. Maybe after his odd exchange with Ben someone coached him up for today's appearance.Originally posted by seminoleed:

He won a landslide poll of PGA players as the person the other players would ignore if he was being beaten up in the parking lot. Not very popular with his peers.

He shook Crenshaw's hand.

Not really. His point was that Tiger played as anticipated today and better than expected Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
I will say I am in disbelief of his chipping this week. After what he went through his last few outings I would have sworn he was done. That very thing has been the downfall of many a player. For him to be able to do what he did this week is remarkable.
Here's the poll and Bubbas response.

If this same group of players was teeing off tomorrow morning at Augusta for a fresh 4-round tournament, who would you bet on?
I think I'd put my money on McIlroy. What Speith did was extraordinary, but he sure was missing a lot of fairways and short puts the last two days.

A backdoor leaderboard finish is a totally different challenge than holding the lead after each round and still winning.
Rory is incredibly talented and will win many more majors but comparing his weekend to Jordan's is like comparing your driving range swing to what happens on the last two holes of your round when you are on track for a new personal best round x 1,000.
I thought this was one of the best Masters we have seen in a very long time, although the coverage for the first 3 days was not all that good. The camera angles were not that good and it seemed the producer had ADHD with who they would cover. Jim Nantz could be heard cupping Phil's balls with his comments about him.
I was happy for Jordan's win today, it's good to see some fresh faces. Golf is doing well as indicated by the huge galleries. It will fun to see how this season unfolds.

Not sure what you mean by this. Typically, pre Tiger, they skipped around to get in as many shots as they could. Mostly shots of the leaders and some taped clips of notable shot elsewhere.
It wasn't until Tiger came along and they showed every shot of his did they follow one player.
I agree that there's a different kind of pressure when you're in the lead, and playing the "what if" game is nothing more than entertainment and speculation.
Having said that, you could argue that Jordan played much better when the pressure was less (the first two rounds) and that he had a lot more misfires when the pressure was higher (the last two rounds)...both his weekend scores were 5+ shots higher than Thursday and Friday. He was having trouble getting his tee shots in the fairway on Saturday and Sunday, and he missed several short putts...the latter may have been due to his unfamiliarity with the Augusta greens. Also, Jordan's not very long, and it puts a lot of pressure on the rest of your game when you're constantly 30 yards behind your competitor off the tee...and even more pressure when you're hitting from the rough.
So I stick by my choice of McIlroy if these guys were teeing it up this morning to play another four rounds.
Whatever, Jordan's win was a tremendous accomplishment and was wonderful to watch. It's going to be fun to see how he does in the coming years.
