Welcome to the (I guess) official thread to the 73rd playing of the Masters Golf Tournament from the Augusta National Golf Club. Now the game that we love and it's season is now officially, let's see who will be walking the 18th fairway ready to slip the coveted green jacket on late Sunday afternoon.
We all know who's in the field. While I'm posting this thread early, we can discuss and predict who's going to win.
(Excerpt) Read more at masters.com ...
Campbell is tearing it up. -11 through 11... Tiger is 9 back at -2 after 5 holes...
Although Chad ia playing great, it looks like course it starting to toughen up.
The powers that be will never allow that record to be broken again.......
Woods now 3 under
Tiger birdied 6 to go to -3...
Campbell bogies 11 to drop back to -10...
Tiger gives it back on 7...back to -2...
I am...very good pictures.
Campbell bogies 12 to drop back to -9
The HD is incredible.
Wind looks like it is picking up...Campbell laid up on 13 and left his pitch 40 feet short for birdie. The afternoon starters are going to have some difficulty.
Tiger birdies 8 to get back to -3, 6 behind Campbell...
Thanks. I’m on it.
Guess what golf fans, the National is continuing to show it’s teeth.....
Chad somehow survives a scorecard full of different numbers......
Kenny Perry is right behind......
Rory McIlroy is making a big move, as is Vijay and Steve Stricker.......
Meanwhile, Tiger ids plodding around, trying to get into the mix.
Looks like Tiger really had to work for anything today. But at -3, he’s in the mix for the weekend.
How bout the 67 by Kenny Perry. Or the fact Sandy Lyle is making the cut. Anthony Kim shooting 66(I think)to be right there?
We’re not done yet today, but the weekend promises to be fun fun fun!!
Back to beisebol..... Indians 2 Canada 0......
No problems running the Amen Corner video feeds...get this, I was using my iPHONE streaming video from the CELL Signal, NOT the wifi lan at work...about every thirty seconds tho, the buffer would need filling and it would pause for a second or two...
Amazing technology...sitting at my desk watching the Masters on my CELL PHONE!!
Made home early !! Got the Cubbies on vs. Brewers, down by 2 BOO!!!
Masters on the HiDef...
I am sorely bummed by Tiger’s poor performance today. birdie-bogey-birdie-bogey to finish the front nine tells me he’s having concentration problems...???
Norman just doubled bog’d too...may not make the cut!!!
Things are getting tight...
Frank Urban Zoeller finishing his LAST Masters hole...
Fuzzy joined Gene Sarazen as only the second player to win the Masters in his first appearance. Sarazen did it in 35 and Fuzzy did it in 79...
Hope I got the years right, typing and listening.
Another “old fart” who can’t play the game any more...HA! I say let them play until they can’t or won’t accept the invite.
Norman at +2? Cut line still at +1???
Indians blow 3-0 lead, now losing 4-3 in the 5th and it’s raining out!!!
Mickelson TRYING to stay in the game, SHOULD make the cut.
Norman...is +3 and isn’t going to be playing on SAT...too bad.
Cubs 3 Brewers 2 in the seventh...
Mike Tirico doing a final interview with Player and Zoeller.
Both gents having tears in their eyes, GREAT interview by Tirico.
Player and Fuzzy both talked about how much love the fans have shown them over the years and how hard it is for them to give back to the fans. They emphasized how ALL the pro golfers participate in charities and involve young kids in the game.
Very hard to think that these two pros are done with their careers for the most part.
