OT: The Master's. Tiger's In. As of Now

[uconnfan68]

Hey @QDOG5 All good pal. Met a couple buddies last night at a local course at 3:30 and got 18 in. A little inconsistent with the weather but getting some rounds in. Hope you get your round in Sunday and the weather gets better for you now.

Thanks on the grandfather deal it’s pretty cool! Hit them well and enjoy the Masters!

Welcome to the club! Boy or girl?

What a par on 18 unbelievable.

Still has never broken 70 at the Masters in round 1. Nice -1 round considering I am sure he’s thrilled.

He shot 68 in 2020 in the first round.

Aged like milk.

You may notice I was the first one to note his solid play today. Concerned with how he'd hold up. So far so good.

Lotttts of talk on Tiger not making the cut, not being able to walk the course. Guy just went out and scrambled his ass off. He sprayed the ball everywhere off the tee, hit a couple duck hooks, and proved over and over again he is the best recovery player and big score avoider of all time. Tomorrow there will be high winds but that is where he thrives. Tiger won't win this tourney if it gets to -15 but if the goal is par you can bet Tiger will be there. He just knows this course so well and can get up and down from a trash can

Still gotta get by tomorrow w strong winds forecast

Looks like? I take it she’s not here yet. They’re all great! The best part is you can leave the dirty work to their parents. ;^)

Hopefully he’ll make the cut.

Cool and windy next two days.

Augusta National can turn this in to a US Open course if they want and make 72 a phenomenal score.

My prediction?

Five or less players will be under par starting Sunday and almost every player would take 280 for a final score right now.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Hopefully he’ll make the cut.

Seems a solid bet he will at this point.

Today's weather forecast for Augusta. It's spring time and early April. Playing in wet conditions, windy conditions and changing temps is the norm for us hackers. These guys are pros, they can handle it.

She's going to rock your world! Can see it now.. Grandpa caddying for her on the LPGA Tour.

Seeing the world through the eyes of a Grandchild is transformational. Enjoy the ride.

These guys are better than you. Saw this because Orlovsky replied to it.

This guy is brilliant. I think he also has a video explaining the difference between whether the wind is coming from your left or your right.

The respectfulness of the galleries is noticeable. Think the fairway cameras and microphones seem to be backed off some too.

Like David Feherty said... the ball fainted going uphill.

Louis Oosthuizen withdrew so Tiger in a twosome now....probably alot of standing around & waiting since everyone ahead of them a threesome. Could be an issue with his leg but we'll see.

Could also mean he doesn't have to walk as fast and can take more time over shots. It might actually help him.

Bubba's second shot on 18 today was more otherworldy than the shot out of the woods on #10 in the playoff when he won he green jacket.

100% YHGTBSM shot.

If he's going to make the cut he needs to turn it around quick...4 bogies through first 5 holes. Margin for error is diminishing quickly.

 

[Kathy]

Surprised the ball went that far after losing the club head.

 

[Hi-Low]

Wow...nice approach shot on 10. Birdie will give Tiger some cut cushion for the back 9. Looks like winds have died down as well.

Seems as if he had to get some stiffness out, which wouldn't surprise me. Looks more fluid now.
