If they had had Friday's wind on a course set up for a US Open nobody would've broken 80.

You're not the only one who says that about Scottie. He's pretty robotic and rarely shows much emotion. That's just who he is, I guess.

His back leg shifting during the swing is kinda interesting, I guess.

Many Sundays after football season, I put the golf on as background while I am doing work/paperwork, especially the more important tournaments. Yesterday, I watched a little and took a walk after Homa **** the bed on 12, which effectively ended the tournament. So for me, also a snooze.

Scheffler looking like the Pete Sampras of golf.

Scheffler seems to show more personality in the interview room that Koepka, which isn't saying much.

I'm not fighting a Texas Death Match over this, but I thought Sunday was a snooze. Never a lead change. Morikawa couldn't make a birdie putt to save his life on the front nine. At one moment there was a four way tie for first, and then guys immediately started systematically dunking balls in the water, and nobody gave themselves a chance. Tiger wheezing and wincing and sweating up and down the course was depressing. I'm not personally invested in Scottie Scheffler. He seems like an okay fella. He doesn't move the needle for me. The whole thing was 'meh'. Just my opinion.

Yeah, I found it to be pretty "meh" myself.

The issue with LIV is its created this whole subclass of people for me to root against. So, as long as Patrick Reed, Phil, Brooksie, etc don't win there aren't a lot of PGA guys I'll be disappointed to see win.

 

[DanOregon]

They really shoulda brought him up to 18. And they really HAVE to name that thing the Lundquist Tower on 16 right?

 

[poindexter]

Yeah, I found it to be pretty "meh" myself.

The fan slapping the Power Bar out of Ludvig's hand was the thing I rewound to watch again.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Aberg certainly looks like a Swede cyborg but I believe he’s Austrian. (Guess I was wrong)

Austrian? G’DAY MATE!

 

[Cosmo]

To be clear, I agree with everyone who says the back nine back was a total bust. I had a hell of a lot of fun watching on Saturday, though.

 

[playthrough]

You're not the only one who says that about Scottie. He's pretty robotic and rarely shows much emotion. That's just who he is, I guess.

He's about to have his first child ... if he ends up with a minivan full of kids and turns into Mr. Family Man who is also a tactical assassin stacking up wins, doesn't that make him the next Nicklaus? I know, I know ... just trying to think of a way where he'd get some more respect outside insular golf circles.

 

[poindexter]

The problem is, we have this "next Jack" every couple of years. Rory. Spieth. JT.

 

[qtlaw]

I don’t think JT or Spieth dominated the stats like Scottie (Rory in 1012-2014, yeah)

 

[swingline]

I had no idea Rory was Moses.

Nick Saban, untethered from football, is living his best life at The Masters

Just watched Saturday's show that aired before the live coverage on Tiger's 2019 win. Some cool footage from the truck of when he was hitting the final putt and the crew telling Nantz and Faldo to be quiet after the return to glory comment and just let it play out, which they did in spectacular fashion, for two and a half minutes, followed by Nantz finally breaking back in after Tiger and Charlie had made their long walk.

Made me think about Nantz's other partner and if Romo had been in the 18th tower that day.

"The return to glory!"

1.2 seconds later...

"Oh Jim! You talk about return and that is another way of saying someone's back and Tiger Woods, bad back, didn't think he'd win, Jim, and here he is, back to glory, returning to glory at the Masters where it all started. What a round and on 12 you think no way he can win but you think yeah he's going to win for sure, right, and then the water with Molinari and seems like Molinari is so solid, so steady--you think of Spaniards always being good around water, going back to Ponce de Leon of course--and then that happens and how's Tiger going to win when it's been so long, and you still have six holes left after that and on 15 Molinari hits that tree and, boy, Jim, a tree is kind of what started this, right? You think back to Elin and the car and that tree and here we are, what a steady round, you think of Jordan and Brady and just that steadiness and no way he's going to get another major and speaking of Army ranks you can't help but think of Earl, the lieutenant colonel, and naming his son Eldrick but really Tiger and that's how we've known him now, gosh, his whole life right, when you think about being on with Fran Tarkenton--scrambling Fran!--and being on TV at such a young age and then with Mike Douglas and Bob Hope and all those All-American football teams and you hear Mike Douglas and you think of another sex addict, of course that was Michael Douglas not Mike Douglas the host, and really nothing beats this in America today when you think about former champs, right, a former champ rising up and winning again even though you think they can't win and..."

"Uh. Well, I never thought we'd see anything that could rival the hug with his father in 1997, but we just did."

 

[BTExpress]

Peyton Manning . . . former Masters champion? Suck it, Brady!

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Scheffler's a good, boring guy at least. I don't get the slightest whiff of d-bag from him.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Considering I've seen Justin "You know" Johnson, Brooksie, Bryson and Patrick Reed all win Majors in the last 10 years, I don't get the knock on Scheffler being "boring."
