OT: The Masters

6'2", 165

Things just got interesting.

 

[aburks41]

Disastrous shot lmao. If he has a Spieth-esque meltdown this will get very interesting

Hideki seems like a cool guy, but I want some drama on the final few holes

 

[XLCenterFan]

Turned into a snoozer of a tournament.

Hold that thought. Hideki just went splash!!!

 

[XLCenterFan]

This thread is hilarious. Not one person named the guy who routed the field, only time he was named was to say he'll blow it. I think XLCenterFan named every player on tour to win except for Matsuyama.

No one had Hideki. He has one top 10 since November. Guy is all over the place. Also I listed 6 guys I bet on, and another 6 I thought had a chance. That’s like 10% of the field. Heck, I bet there’s guys here who thought Tiger was playing.

And Xander returns the favor.

Not even going to attempt a Billy Horschel.

You are also the guy who described his tee shot on one as a shank. LOL.

 

[aburks41]

Lol Xander implosion...we had hope of a great finish for all of 10 seconds

 

[Jaker]

Sooo difficult to stay focused for 18 holes let alone 72

 

[Jaker]

Stick a fork in this

Wow Zalatoris

 

[storrsroars]

Zalatoris has a sense of humor, too.

Many people are comparing Will Zalatoris to Happy Gilmore's caddie. Zalatoris embraces it with this hilarious custom wedge.

Xander is going to be kicking himself

Helluva time for your first-ever triple bogey in major.

 

[uconngb]

Should have bet me. Easy to post now isn’t it??

Wait, was it not? They held their arms up to say it was going right and it ended up in the woods. He had to punch out. For a pro, that’s a shank.

It was a shank.

If you think that was a shank I seriously question your knowledge or understanding of golf.

I guarantee I watch, bet, read, consume, and play more golf than you. Guarantee.

When is the last time you heard you heard of a pushed golf shot with a driver described as a shank?

For you that was a push. For a pro that was a shank.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

A shank is a ball that hits off the hosel. If you think that driver was a shank you are incorrect.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Very happy. I do a lot of business in Japan. Hidecki did what he had to to finish! Japan will go nuts!

I’m being less specific with my definition. By “shank,” I mean a shot that was way off, left or right. Blocked, pushed, whatever. There’s courses on tour (and not) where that ball is wet, OB, or lost. Thank you for the clarification though.

I could absolutely be incorrect. I am a total hack and golf ignoramus who plays a couple social rounds a year and watches the final rounds of majors. I thought they said it was a shank when he hit it but may have misheard. Whatever it was I knew it wasn’t good.
