Thanks NiA, very helpful.

My initial post was more throwing shade at all the TV stations (ESPN, CBS Sports, Golf Channel) for making it seem like only Tiger was at the venue. I eventually went to Masters.com to find actual coverage of the guys on the course.

Based on the first hole, I don't immediately regret subbing out Rahm. It's ok on the four-putt, Rahmbo. It happens to the best of us - in my case on almost every single hole I play!

Sorry, I am stuck working this am( damn it), so just following along on the scoreboards and not watching coverage yet, but that is the least surprising thing I will hear today, It is going to be Tiger-saturated coverage the next two days.


Update to the first group out, KevinNa is a WD, Weir will play back nine by himself.
Na must have gotten a bad case of the +4s after that front nine

Interesting. With Na out, does that mean Weir plays the entire second round by himself? That would suck.

 

[cmanole]

You gonna play the back 9? Na.

 

[NoleinATL]

Yes he will play 18 by himself. One writer said, they have already stated he will have a marker tomorrow but they are not changing groups

 

[NoleLizards]

Hovland gets a tidy little 31 on the front.

 

[NoleinATL]

Hovland is on fire, 5 under through the nine

This aged poorly. Smh.

 

[NoleLizards]

He's trying to disprove the adage that you can't win the tournament on Thursday. Now he's six under through 11. 😳

 

[NoleinATL]

Woods will need a couple on the back to see the weekend. His split tomorrow will be in the uglier part of the weather and Hovland is sprinting out in front. Might not have to watch a full Tiger round Saturday am.

 

[NoleLizards]

Sam Bennett's like "This is easy. 🤷‍♂️"

 

[NoleinATL]

The only thing I can see wrong with Hovland, is that damn shirt-

 

[NoleinATL]

damn, hate it for Zalatoris--that back is giving him problems

 

[seminoleed]

The only thing I can see wrong with Hovland, is that damn shirt-

Down here in Cape Coral, that's pretty much what most of us wear every day. Golf course of otherwise.

 

[NoleinATL]

What a fantastic day one leaderboard

Koepka is coming, to 5 under with both par 5s left-

 

[Bobcat07]

Was nice to see Fred Couples play well this morning too.

 

[NoleinATL]

Of course Homa and McIlroy are doing nothing-damn it

 

[NoleLizards]

Scheffler's putting from 5-10 feet has gone to 💩.

 

[Bobcat07]

I was surprised they are doing the walk and talk at the Masters. Surprised the powers there allowed it. A feature added to golf coverage that I've enjoyed greatly (minus the one with Horschel at the Honda Classic) this year.

 

[QuaZ2002]

Scheffler's putting from 5-10 feet has gone to 💩.

He could easily be -5

 

[NoleinATL]

There is a lot of chatter on Twitter that there could be a penalty on Koepka's group, something about Brook's caddie telling Woodland's caddie what club they hit.

Anything mentioned on the broadcast?

I haven't heard anything.

 

[NoleinATL]

3 65's, and both Rahm and Koepka left shots on the course

The guys on the course now should have an advantage in the morning before the grounds get saturated.

Boom Boom was always one of my favorite. He designed my home club out in the Atlanta 'burbs.

 

[seminoleed]

Oh, how I wish Brooks hadn't deserted us for the Saudi money. I SO wanted to pick him this week.

Sweetest swing I ever saw. (Freddie, not you. 😁)

 

[NoleLizards]

Not what prevented me from doing so... I was just skeptical over how battle-hardened he'd be. Not a problem so far at least.

 

[NoleLizards]

Scottie better be hitting the practice green before dinner.

 

[Bobcat07]

Boom Boom was always one of my favorite. He designed my home club out in the Atlanta 'burbs.

He was the reason I started watching golf in 1991 when I was 6. I remember being so excited when he won the 1992 Masters and equally as deflated when O'Meara beat him in 1998. I always think "what if" with how many more events he could have won if he didn't had constant back issues that limited him.

 

[NoleinATL]

Scottie better be hitting the practice green before dinner.

Yeah I just heard his stats 16 of 18 greens, 32 putts, damn

still shot 68, and he is on the better side of the split, so if he gets some to drop early will put pressure on the late guys

tomorrow should be very interesting

 

[Bobcat07]

Scottie better be hitting the practice green before dinner.

32 putts and still shot -4. These guys are good.

I would kill for a round where I shot 68 (not in 9 holes) and/or only 32 total putts.

Guys,
Honestly, you play the course. You have a plan and hopefully with your course management skills you go from spot to spot to spot. It’s what makes Scheffler so good.

 

[QuaZ2002]

It’s going to be a nightmare getting this tourney in. Not sure how hard it will rain tomorrow afternoon so maybe they can get it in but Saturday may be a complete wash. They haven’t had a Monday finish since 1983. I guess once every 40 years isn’t bad but seems highly unlikely they’re done on Sunday.

 

[NoleinATL]

FYI

Here is the Brooks video and the committees decision.

This is truly discouraging, especially with Brooks being involved. My problem here is, caddies are always letting the on course announcers know what club players are using; seems like competitors could "steal" that info pretty easily, unless the caddy is going up and whispering in the reporters' ears. THis is a bullshit rule to be
gin with.

 

[NoleinATL]

DeChambeau will never live that par 67 comment down.

+4 on the day and +6 for the tourney through 6 today
