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.

2 at 12!!
THAT”S HUGH, KP!!!
FIRST DOWN, KENTUCKY!!!
Boink!
Right off the tree.
You dont see that too much (well, actually I see it a lot when I play ;-)
KP! KP!! KP!!!
wow... how dissapointing. Two straight bogies to go to a playoff. Has anyone ever recovered from such a collapse to win a playoff? I can’t remember one...
I guarantee ya Kenny Perry is the coolest guy on the tee right now.
Kenny has completely lost his irons.. It’s Angel’s match now..
Quick! Somebody check his scorecard!!
Dude.... you are either smoking crack, or simply not a golf fan.
The Master’s has something the TPC is greatly lacking: Tradition.
The TPC is played on a completely forgettable, and butt-ugly track. One tricked up Par 3... and, you think THAT is the most famous hole in golf? Hardly. I’ve played on a dozen courses as pretty as the TPC. Heck, there are probably a dozen just in Florida.
The TPC is a great tourney, due to the deep field. Someday, it may be considered the “Fifth Major”. But, the year the Master’s is no longer considered a Major, is the year they no longer have Majors.
Ask professional golfers: If you could only win ONE tourney, which would it be. I doubt 1% would say “TPC”. I’d wager my most trusted putter a large majority would say, “The Masters”.
And, the winner is... CLEVELAND GOP!!
Why not, indeed.
Sorry, I am a fan of golf not so called tradition. The real tradition is that majors were THE CHAMPIONSHIPS OF SOMETHING. The UK, the home of golf, amateur and open or the US the place where golf grew, amateur and open.
Majors have never been the NEGBJI type events. Only for a short time have people pretended this fraud of an event run by a bunch of old cranks in Ga was a major. On the other hand the TPC fits in nicely as a professional major with the champtionship of British golf association, the US golf association, the US professional golf association and the US touring professionals association.
So face it, just like with the claim Bush was AWOL from TANG, CBs is telling you the NEGBJI is a major out of their own self interest. They want it to be so they say so. Too bad NBC does not have the balls to promote the real major, the TPC, that they cover like CBS does the fraud major.
Take your opinion somewhere else.
We really don’t care what you think.
The Masters is a Major, always has been, always will be. Fore!!!
I guess in the end, Angel was the most unflappable and made enough shots to win.
Did KP and Chad give this to him? In a way, sure. Consider that Cabrera is in trouble on 18 in the playoff and KP and Chad are in the fairway. AC doinks it off the tree to get back in the fairway. The others had to get their balls to the green but couldn’t. Angel still had 10 feet downhill to stay in it and delivered.
I honestly think 5 hours of golf wore Kenny out. It’s a shame cause Golf Channel just did an interview(Jim Gray). Kenny’s devestated......
Tiger and Phil were exceptional. And I know Phil would have taken a full swing on 12 with a lot of green behind that flag.
This sucked not at all......
Amen my brother!!!
I have to go back up thread to see when it was I started talking about Angel.
It’s too bad cause my friend is in Vegas and I could have made some cash.
OH SNOT!!!
The TPC is redundant... We have the US Open, and the PGA... we don’t NEED another US “Championship”....
Nothing, anywhere.. matches the majesty of Augusta National. And, nothing you say can change that.
No question, this was Kenny’s to win... Two very poor iron shots on 17 and 18.... no other way to see it.
But, I’ve always liked Cabrera too... he seems like a cool dude, and very friendly. I love the way he plays without thaking FORE EVER to consider every shot...
All in all, a pretty damn exciting weekend.
My g_d, I did bringzAngel up, ON TUESDAY!!!!
Now I’m really mad I didn’t call my friend in Vegas!!!
You realize, Phil wins this out-right just by:
1) Missing the water on 12, and
2) Making ONE of TWO 4 foot putts... (15 or 17).
He’s got to be feeling a little ill right now...
Some where there is a picture of a choking dog.
Of course Angel did his press conference in Spanish.
Sergio just made am ass of himself, again. He was bitching about how there was mud on the balls in the fairway and the greens were too fast.
Well they interviewed Padraig and let’s just say he didn’t agree with Sergio’s assessment.
I can’t wait for Serge to get to Bethpage. If you think Monty had to absorb crap, Serge better wear a helmet, not a hat.....
lol... I used to really like Sergio.. but, the longer he goes w/o a Major, the whinier he gets...
