Golf: 2024 Masters Tournament - Scottie 'Tiger' Scheffler Edition

[Dr John Carlson]

There goes Jordan again.

Saddened to report that Jason Day has taken the torch from Adam Scott, representing the way-too-baggy pants club. Difficult to watch.

It would have been really nice & respectful of them to let Tiger have the early tee time Thursday, knowing how long it takes him to prepare the next day. Instead, we have a stiff as all hell Tiger having to deal with 23 holes today. Ridiculous.

Scottie a casual 6 under.

It's going to take a peak performance from somebody to beat him. Bryson will need his putter to stay hot.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Scottie's going to be up against the highest winds today. Could keep him from separating.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Love to see Max up there contending!

Ah ESPN Masters Coverage. Nothing screams golf and Georgia like Nick Saban commentary.

Scottie vs. the field you want the field?

Yeah, would you want Scottie?

He has 8 career wins and has only won 2 of 8 tournaments this year. It's very hard to win. Golf isn't like Tennis where the #1 ranked guy wins most weeks.

I'll take Scottie.

I agree with you in general, but he's gone W, W, T2, now leading. Great results at Augusta previously.

I would say its about even money on him winning this week. I think he gets it done, tough conditions generally suit him as he doesn't make the mistakes other guys make.

As I say this he misses a 3 footer lol oops hopefully that doesn't linger.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Yeah, I think it's too early to take Scottie over the field.

Happens allll the time with Rory. On his approach shot into 11 after a huge drive. The broadcast is talking about how this has to be a knockdown shot, and that he can't go high with it. He goes high with it anyway - dunks it into the water way short.

So frustrating. And it's a double bogey...

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Back to the solo lead.

Major kudos to Tiger for gutting out 23 holes of golf today & sitting in the top 25 at the moment. History has been made.......24 straight made cuts at Augusta!

 

[Dr John Carlson]

JT in majors since his win at the PGA in 2022: T37-T53-MC-T65-MC-MC-MC.

Still crazy to me that he's only ever contended in two majors, and he won both of them.

It’s really incredibly impressive.

Basically played one competitive round this year. Comes out and beats the last 4 major champions through two rounds

Not sure if his health will keep up this weekend but watching him fight is awesome.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I don't know what Tiger's doing right now.

 

[GKJ]

He is such a bitch boy. One of the more unlikeable players I’ve seen.

Looking like Tiger is gonna be lurking at the bar tonight.

 

[red devil]

I don't know what Tiger's doing right now.

It seems he can only play 36 holes now physically and his body just isn't ready to do the 72 hole grind anymore especially on a hilly course like Augusta

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Scottie fumbling the bag right now, from his approaches to his short game to his putting.

Masters: Viktor Hovland withdraws from next week’s RBC Heritage after missing cut at Augusta National

Viktor Hovland had two doubles and a triple on Friday, and he missed the cut at the Masters for the first time in his career

Idk if he can catch Scottie, but wow, Bryson might've just salvaged his chances of winning.

Holeing out on 18 from ~100 yards after punching from the woods for a 3. He looked like he was gonna drop to all the way to -1 after really shitting the bed on the back9

 

[Dr John Carlson]

So glad that Bryson's still going to be a factor tomorrow after that bomb. We are better off because of it.

Going only off of eye test, Aberg appears to be the most in control of his ball of the leaders, despite his inexperience. I think he's got a real shot. Otherwise, I guess I'd like to see Scottie close it out and validate his play over the last year.
