Golf: 2016 Masters thread - "Literally every top player is in good form" edition

[Raging Bull]

He certainly was.

Quite a feat. He's earned it.

 

[bombers15]

Was Willett bogey free today?

Yes. Pretty good looking card today.

[John Price]

Speith is a strong lad and he'll be back. It happens.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm not worried about his ability, its that fat shot on 12. Thats 100% nerves, a choke, whatever you want to call it.

 

[Live in the Now]

Rory hit the ball nearly into someone's house on 10 in 2011 and came straight back to win the US Open as well as three other majors. Spieth's collapse isn't likely to have any long term effect.

 

[Shrimper]

Fitzpatrick and Kaufman will be more known and prominent know. Well done to them.

Nah, it was just one really bad hole. Happens on this course.

 

[Dr Pepper]

See? Again, cameras everywhere. Gotta think it gets to the pros at times.

 

[joe89]

Wasn't just a come from behind, he won with three freakin shots.

 

[Shrimper]

See? Again, cameras everywhere. Gotta think it gets to the pros at times.

Yeah, Spieth just asked them to step back.

 

[Shrimper]

5 English players on the top scoreboard.

Great to see.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Would it surprise anyone to see Spieth win 6+ Green Jackets in his career? Certainly not me. That prediction of double digit Green Jacket wins by Jack could possibly even come true. Just not for who he envisioned.

Shrimper, you need to go to an Open Championship already.

 

[KaylaJ]

The way he bounced back and really had a legitimate chance to force a playoff is yet another example of his resiliency. He'll file this one away and use it for motivation, I'm sure.

This just goes to show how difficult winning a major is and why what Jack and Tiger have accomplished, and what Spieth did last year, is incredible.

Exactly. I mean everyone has a bad shot here and there, it's golf. Even off the course you never know what could happen, Willett's had back issues before. But if you're betting your car and not your house, you don't bet that that is the shot that takes down a 22 year old who's done what he has.


Also, usually it's not one hole that does a player in, it's a combo breaker of things.

Uh, that would surprise me.

 

[Roughneck]

Also, Spieth's winning the US Open by 7.

With the greens at Oakmont he's as good a bet as any to do it.

 

[Shrimper]

Shrimper, you need to go to an Open Championship already.

They're always so far away in Scotland.

I do want to go to one one day.

They had one in Kent in the past, would hope they host it there again soon.

 

[GKJ]

If Oakmont plays like it did last time, Spieth won't break +7 much less win by 7.


But he'd still win.

 

[Raging Bull]

Good interview.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Hard not to feel for the kid. Can tell how down he is.

 

[Roughneck]

Troon, Birkdale, Carnoustie, and Portrush are the next four. Hoping to go to the one at Portrush in 2019.

 

[Raging Bull]

Jordan has to get his driver figured out to contend at Oakmont. Much tougher rough than last year @ Chambers Bay.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Exactly. I mean everyone has a bad shot here and there, it's golf. Even off the course you never know what could happen, Willett's had back issues before. But if you're betting your car and not your house, you don't bet that that is the shot that takes down a 22 year old who's done what he has.

Yeah, that's an excellent point. Very true.

I'm learning a lot about Willett today, more I learn, the happier I'm for him winning this tournament. Such a feel good story.

 

[Shrimper]

Troon, Birkdale, Carnoustie, and Portrush are the next four. Hoping to go to the one at Portrush in 2019.

Yeah, too late for this years one. £60 too!

Portrush would be good as I've never been to Northern Ireland.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Why put Spieth through this? Gotta be torture.
