2019 Masters running thread

[Michael_ Gee]

Justin Harding in with a 69 to be clubhouse leader. At 350-1, I expect Krug or at least Bollinger at the big post-tourney party at Dan Oregon's house.

The guy who Monday qualified for Valero last week and won just to get to Augusta shoots 70 and is a shot off the lead. I love that.

Talk about a heater. And I thought I heard he survived a 6-for-1 playoff at that Monday qualifier.

 

[Cosmo]

Correct

 

[Chef2]

OK.
Let's say you have $100 on Harding at 350-1.
If I gave you $1500 right now, or let it all ride for $35000........whaddya do, whaddya say?

 

[playthrough]

I'd take that $1500 out of your hand so fast it would burst into flames.

I'd take that $1500 out of your hand so fast it would burst into flames.

In that case - seems like a good argument for letting it ride. Can't buy much with a small pile of ash.

Paul Casey +5 through 6.
oopsie.

Augusta ain't no Snake Pit.

Tidy 2-under 70 for Woods. Could have been a shot or two better with a couple of makeable putts and a "bad" par on 15.

Loving the Masters app on the Smart TV. Fun to see a helluva lot more of the tournament.

I'd take that $1500 out of your hand so fast it would burst into flames.

And then put $100 on Harding.

As per my prediction, Koepka is going to win this.
And then, he's going to send that no playing panty-waste little sawed off Nazi Chamblee a thank you card.

BARNRAT ONE SHOT BACK. LEGGO!

Got to hand it to Phil, 68 at 48. Hope he keeps it up.

Koepka, damn he's good at majors. If he does this??? Wow.

Can anyone remember someone so young, so in control, losing it like Speith? He's just another guy now who just visually looks like the guy who won 3 majors in 3 years. He looks lost. Seriously, take away the name and go with just the masked player, 18 holes anywhere, you taking Speith or Kevin Na?

Guess Rose is just going to struggle to make the cut.

Tiger had oh so many chances. It was like last year at Open and PGA, just when you think he's there at the top, he stumbles. I know that's a lot to ask but I only demand this of the GOAT (maybe).

Rickie righted the ship and has still got a shot (-2).

 

[Deskgrunt50]

Damn impressive by Koepka and DeChambeau.

As for Spieth, definitely lost right now. Still, a long way to go before he reaches David Duvall territory.

 

[MileHigh]

Spieth has been lost for a while. Can't quite put a finger on what the problem(s) are but it's been a big tumble.

 

[swingline]

Speith looks like the guy who held quicksilver in his hands — only to see it slip through his fingers.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Spieth can't put his drives in the fairway and can't make those 15-footers that were why he was so hot for so long. If he could just do one or the other, not even both, he'd be OK.

 

[qtlaw]

I feel for that guy because he was such a great story. When he won the Open after gagging the Masters, I thought wow, what a set of onions.

 

[Chef2]

I said a couple of years ago on this site about DeChambeau......"whatever IT is, this kid has it."
I fully expect a Koepka, DeChambeau, Fowler, Woods race on Sunday.

 

[Chef2]

Oh.....I adore Rinaldi, but he has the dorkiest laugh in sports television and its not close.
