The Masters

[Rohirrim]

Well, here it is. The first major of the season. Looks like some the young turks (Immelman, Snedeker) are grabbing the opening rounds. Mickleson is climbing the board as well. Tiger Woods starts today 9 off the pace.


Here's the updated leader board:

I would have taken the field over Tiger. Doesn't matter though, as Sunday comes the scores will starting getting worse. If Tiger is hanging around par that will probably not be that far off.

[24champ]

Phil is tied for third. Should be interesting, but if Tiger can hang around and creep up tommorow. It will be very interesting...

I have a Masters stick flag from 2000, pretty sweet.

Good tourney so far. I like seeing the young guys playing well. Tiger needs to leave his driver in the bag. I don't see Tiger pulling it out with the weather forecast. It's going to be a little cold come Sunday.

Just stay out of my way or you'll pay, listen to what I say.

[Bronco Jamus]

Now Tiger is playing conservative. Come on TW.

[Bronco Jamus]

TW even thru 13.

ahh, good ol' Happy references never get old!:notworthy

[Rohirrim]

I just can't get over that sig, BMF. It's awesome. :thumbsup:

Meanwhile, Tiger is about as lackluster as I've ever seen him. He can't buy a putt.

I was glad he finished in the red today, what a save on 18, huh?

[orangenblue2]

Immelman has played well, but IMO, the smart money has to be on the Mickster now. He's got them right where he wants them...

[Bronco Jamus]

Well, it's suppose to wet and windy today and colder tomorrow.

sadly not alot of masters discussion on the masters thread.
lets get back to it shall we?

phil missed TWO short putts for birdies (on 15 and 16) yesterday and STILL fired a 68 to get to 5 under.
yea, immelman and snedeker finished the day at -8 and -7 respectively (screwing some people out of making the cut given the 10 stroke rule) but does anyone really think they can keep up that insane pace?
or will they go justin rose and card a triple bogey....or two?

this tournament is phil's to win unless tiger somehow fires a 66 or 67 today...

.....which of course is entirely possible. after all, it is saturday.

so, where are the rest of the golf fans?

Stephen Ames is a guy I will be watching today. He has been hanging around late in a lot of majors lately. I would agree Phil is easily the favorite and the leader board should start coming back down today and tommorow.

[Bronco Jamus]

Phil just got robbed on 6 with bogey, and his 1st since 14 on thursday.

Brandt, from Vandy, is playing well. I mean the guy chiped off the green yesterday and holed it. Impressive.

[OABB]

Thanks for the update guys!

I haven't a had a chance to watch the masters yet because I have been too busy watching the paint dry on my neighbors house.

[Dedhed]

I love Masters week. I think Tiger is all but out of it unless he makes a monster move on the back 9, and his game this week hasn't shown any signs of a monster move all week. If Phil shoots a 70 or better today, he'll have a very good chance tomorrow. Don't count out Snedecker, Casey, and Immelman though; all those kids have the game to win this thing.

OOHH. Phil just got jobbed by hitting the flagstick on #8. That's a tap in birdie of it doesn't bounce off the stick.

And yet you have the time to post a negative comment here.

[Bronco Jamus]

TW to minus 4, minus 3 on the day, and as the commentator said. "Not even remotely playing his best golf."

The field has to come back to him but Snedecker is playing very well.

[Bronco Jamus]

These greens are relentless.

[Bronco Jamus]

TW is going to -5 with a sweat approach on 17

had phil's ball not hit the pin it wouldve tucked within a couple feet and possibly even gone in.
a definate 2 stroke swing, and the later bogey that followed affirmed that it indeed affected his psyche.

sadly, he may have lost the tourney with that one bad break.

.....and tiger is still moving.

[orange 4 life]

true, though the man may not sleep tonight.
visions of rocco mediate (remember that monumental collapse?) dancing in his head, and a tiger in his rear view mirror.

damn shame what happened to phil.

[orange 4 life]

imagine what phil couldve done this week if his flat stick was working for him.

[silverwing]

Golf sucks!

[Bronco Jamus]

He's still got a chance.

[Bronco Jamus]

Maybe not.

I think he might be a more tested than that, but I always want to see Tiger win.

[Bronco Jamus]

Snedeker with two straight bogeys

[Bronco Jamus]

Immelmen is playing like he owns the place.

[BMF Bronco]

none of the guys above tiger have won a major so it will be intersting if they can handle the pressure.

[baja]

What's the board look like now...

[BMF Bronco]

leader at 11 under, tiger 6 back at 5 under

[baja]

Thanks. Wouldn't that make him 5 back???

[BMF Bronco]

I edited it, I realized my oops

[Bronco Jamus]

I agree. But I think Immelman will keep it together. He's playing the course so well up to now.

[azbroncfan]

Guys without big names actually have played him much better. Beem, May, Cabrera, etc.

[Dedhed]

That's interesting, and true now that I think about it.

Tiger's never come from behind to win a major, and the kids out in front have the luxury of not having to play in the same group as Tiger.

Snedecker and Immelman will get to play together in the same group again, and that should add another level of comfort for them. Immelman will be trying to make history by being the first player ever to shoot in the 60s all four days. I'm expecting a 70 at best from him. If he manages that, Tiger would need a 64 to put him in a playoff. That's a tall order even for Tiger.

I think that Snedecker and Immelman may run off and hide, and turn it into match play down the stretch.

[orangenblue2]

I love Masters Sunday! Should be a shootout. As composed as Immelman and Snedaker have been, TW will put on a charge...let's see if they can handle it. As everyone knows, "The Masters doesn't begin until the back nine on Sunday".

7-8 under is going to win this tourney today. Book it. The players at 1-2 under will even have a shot.

[Rohirrim]

Tiger has never come from behind and won. I don't know why anybody expects him to do it. That was Jack's specialty, not Tiger's. Tiger has always been the kind of player who grabs an early lead and then holds onto it.

This is what it looks like to start the final day:

1 T. Immelman 2:25 PM -11
2 B. Snedeker 2:25 PM -9
3 S. Flesch 2:15 PM -8
4 P. Casey 2:15 PM -7
5 T. Woods 2:05 PM -5
6 S. Cink 2:05 PM -4
T7 P. Mickelson 1:15 PM -2
T7 R. Goosen 1:25 PM -2
T7 I. Poulter 1:25 PM -2
T7 R. Karlsson 1:35 PM -2
T7 S. O'Hair 1:35 PM -2
T7 P. Harrington 1:45 PM -2
T7 A. Romero 1:45 PM -2
T7 Z. Johnson 1:55 PM -2
T7 B. Weekley 1:55 PM -2

[baja]

never say never

[Rohirrim]

never say never

I'm not saying he can't do it. I'm just saying he hasn't done it yet. Actually, I'd like to see him do it. It would be a hell of a lot more fun to watch. That's why I used to enjoy watching Jack Nicklaus so much. He would put on the pressure until the guys in front of him crumbled. Like Elway. There's something about the "come from behind" victory that everybody loves.

The difference is that in majors now the leaderboard does not keep climbing. It comes back to the field. He does not even have to play great to win. He post two under that could be good for a playoff. Its bound to happen one of these days. Immelman is due to shoot mid seventies.

[Bronco Jamus]

Immelman will have to play bogey golf, which he has hardly done in 3 rounds. If he can survive the pressure, he'll win unless Tiger plays lights out and plays almost 180 degrees from the 1st three rounds.

[Cito Pelon]

The greens will still be soft, soft greens mean confidence, and that's a big deal. So the top guys on the leaderboard can stay at even par easily, and attack some greens. That means the guys that are chasing will have to take chances. How that will work out, who knows? I'd expect to see Immelman shoot one under, and that will win it.

Nobody, major experience or not stays at par easily, especially in sixty degree weather with 20-30 mile per hour winds on Masters Sunday. Flag hunting will not be the norm.

Yeah, I hear it's windy today. Zero eagles, 20 birdies, 28 bogies so far today. Winds expected to increase. The winds sure put a hole in my analysis.

[Bronco Jamus]

Tiger is killing me.

[Dedhed]

I don't see Immelman and Snedecker posting 75 or 76. The Masters isn't like other Majors that set up the course as hard as they can on Sunday. Tradition at the Masters is to set up the course to play fairly easy on Sunday. Someone would have to fold completely for -7 to win this thing.

[Inkana7]

EDIT: Nevermind.

Weather + experience will play a factor. Back nine is coming, we shall see.

[Bronco Jamus]

As bad as I want to see Tiger win, he's not going to do it.

[Rohirrim]

This was one of the worst Masters performances I've ever seen out of Tiger...



and he still finished second. Ha!

[Bronco Jamus]

Good job Immelman. Great tourney

[BMF Bronco]

Immelman played good all tourny, made it interesting in the final three holes, but was definitely entertaining to watch

[titan]

Amazing Immelman won. He hadn't finished in the top 40 for any tournament this year and missed the cut the previous week. He played great.
