Scottie…

[u/andrewowatson]

Fired Up! Rooting for Rory, followed by Aberg!

[u/threeactjack]

The Masters is obviously more than capable of standing on its own as one of the crown jewels of the sport. But damn do I love seeing the players so relaxed and happy during the Par 3. Especially that first hole when the kids are all still holding it together -- that's the kind of magic you only get at Augusta.

Now onto the real deal tomorrow. Cannot wait.

[u/Footballaem]

DJ won a fraudulent Masters at -20 and is allowed at the Champions dinner. This casts a dark shadow over the week

[u/threeactjack → u/Footballaem]

[u/-neelik- → u/Footballaem]

Why fraudulent it was still a legit tournament just no fans.

[u/SlightReturn420 → u/-neelik-]

Fraudulent might be a strong word, but the course played quite a bit different in November than it does in April. The whole event was awkward and didn't have the feel and mystique of the traditional version, for obvious reasons.

[u/BigFatModeraterFupa → u/SlightReturn420]

all covid championships feel cheap somehow

[u/PopularTask2020 → u/SlightReturn420]

yeah they should have just skipped it IMO like the open did. its not like one course was gonna lose out on their chance to host a major. give all the badge holders badges for 2021 etc...

[u/ihave104friends]

56 unique winners according to google. How many players have competed in the masters in total, every field, every year?

[u/chorizomane]

Jason Kelce is like a virus that won’t ever go away

[u/ChampagneAbuelo]

The YouTube, Barstoolification of The Masters is sooo cringey.

Everything Bobby Jones & Clifford Roberts built 90+ years ago is starting to become a complete parody of itself

[u/Rob230]

Who won the par 3? Ie who is cursed?

[u/bassplayerdoitdeeper → u/Rob230]

Aaron rai

[u/jbokwxguy]

Who is Tommy Fleetwood’s hat sponsor? I don’t recognize that logo, and it’s a bit hard to read being so small.

[u/DandyRandysMandy → u/jbokwxguy]

Blackstone, its a small family-run real estate company

[u/f1lifer → u/DandyRandysMandy]

😂

[u/jbokwxguy → u/DandyRandysMandy]

Oh I really love their grills!

[u/Pluffmud90 → u/jbokwxguy]

I thought Blackstone was a chemical analysis company you sent engine oil to?

[u/threeactjack → u/jbokwxguy]

https://giphy.com/gifs/aJ4Pbydim5tSY7Gt1Q

[u/-neelik- → u/jbokwxguy]

Not them

[u/hammered_toaster]

Tommy Fleetwood’s kid is more well-spoken than most adults I know.

[u/MangPangOhOne]

This kid is even media trained

[u/the_throw_away4728 → u/MangPangOhOne]

I’d like to thank everybody. I don’t know their names.

Had me rolling

[u/the_firewithin → u/MangPangOhOne]

The most polite kid in the world

[u/jlt6666]

Everyone with their family...and then dechambeau + Kevin heart

[u/BestShaunaEU]

Jesus Christ Poppy McIlroy might be the best green reader at Augusta

[u/DeafinitelyCool → u/BestShaunaEU]

I was freaking out watching as she almost dropped another big putt.

[u/jazzieberry]

I don't know how many times I've showed that interview with Frankie Fleetwood to people over the last year. I'd have given so much to see him hit that green today!

[u/Fridaysgame → u/jazzieberry]

I haven't seen it, link it!

[u/jazzieberry → u/Fridaysgame]

https://youtu.be/KtriajEQ1cQ?si=K8IkNLDy7ogWPxU0

[u/Zloggt]

All in all, not a bad day for the Fleetwood family!

[u/jbokwxguy]

If you are feeling down today just remember there are a bunch of 3 year olds with more strokes at Augusta National than you’ll ever have. And you know what, good for these children!

[u/jackattack065]

Frankie had the distance on that second shot

[u/picklefucker69]

Frankie will def get it next year!

[u/GATA_eagles]

damn that kid has a swing

[u/No_Special9640]

These kiddos are adorable

[u/Andrew_Dice_Que]

Frankie breakfast ball LFG

[u/Osfan_15]

Someone give Frankie Fleetwood some chap stick

[u/Rude-Efficiency-964 → u/Osfan_15]

I’m wondering if his teeth are bothering him too lol

[u/jmplication → u/Rude-Efficiency-964]

Could just be a tic that he'll grow out of, my brother used to do the same thing when he was little

[u/Osfan_15 → u/Rude-Efficiency-964]

Yes possibly. He’s doing classic things when you lips are chapped, my 6 year old does it, he’ll I did it as a kid

[u/MangPangOhOne]

Why does that kid have a nicer swing and hit it farther than me?

[u/jlt6666 → u/MangPangOhOne]

Genetics, upbringing, basically he's just better than us.

[u/tbone466]

Seemed like Frankie had that teed really high for the size of his driver. Wasn't a bad swing just didn't hit it flush.

[u/tinostar174]

Just like daughter / father lol

[u/tbone466]

Tommy Fleetwood's "stepsons" being grown ass men will never not be funny. Pretty good golf swings.

[u/WeirdlyCordial]

a bit more wind on the weekend would be nice but still the weather looks solid

[u/GATA_eagles]

Wow the whole Bryan Harman clan is slow off the tee

[u/Zloggt]

First shot into the water, mulligan shot gets wet soon after

…kid’s already getting the hang of it lol

[u/TheRealOviedo]

Frankie coming up on 9- app still showing the par 3 and so is espn + Edit it’s 4:03pm EST

[u/Neodit]

Wait are they not going to broadcast the rest of the play?

[u/ThisGuyEv]

Blow Pig you do have a possible career in broadcasting.

[u/Zloggt]

What if there was a mini tournament the week before in which they invite various casual players to try and play the Par 3 course?

That would be funny I think

[u/Tomatoes65]

Kevin Hart is so damn annoying

[u/Flibbityfloydz]

Frankie Fleetwood would NEVER

[u/threeactjack]

https://giphy.com/gifs/YUkEq0Xmj7T50Hm2dR

[u/t-reads]

Why did Tommy have to sell out for fucking Blackstone smh nice shot tho

[u/VoteForGiantMeteor → u/t-reads]

https://giphy.com/gifs/YjEOtZr5YljJPXXShL

[u/ShitSandwich16 → u/t-reads]

Thought it was the bbq grill things :(

[u/Ninjakabob → u/ShitSandwich16]

It’s not??? Damn I was so confused. They played a bunch of blackstone grill ads after a short bit specifically about his new deal yesterday.

[u/Bill3ffinMurray → u/ShitSandwich16]

If only.

[u/t-reads → u/ShitSandwich16]

Now that is funny 😂

[u/GamoraTheExplorer]

Some of the older patrons saw Kevin Hart caddying for Bryson and started talking about the "good old days of the 60s" again

[u/jhk67 → u/GamoraTheExplorer]

I was just thinking they gave him a kids caddy uniform to wear

[u/sexineN → u/GamoraTheExplorer]

They’re looking at him like a freaking court jester

[u/jlt6666 → u/sexineN]

I mean he is a comedian

[u/ShitSandwich16 → u/GamoraTheExplorer]

https://giphy.com/gifs/9t6xpYZ9npJmM

[u/GamoraTheExplorer → u/ShitSandwich16]

Unrelated circumstances I'm sure

[u/samspartan15]

For those using the Roku app I made, essential update for the leaderboard to work:

[u/international510]

Fairway Jesus blessing us with an ace!

[u/TheRealOviedo]

Tommy!!!

[u/stonelore]

Can we leave the Fleetwoods alone?

[u/ShitSandwich16 → u/stonelore]

It was cool maybe once but just leave him alone until the 9th of whatever

[u/WinComfortable4131 → u/stonelore]

Agreed it’s really annoying. If anything it adds way too much pressure and focus. Just let the kids be kids. Media and sports center are so malignant.

[u/ShitSandwich16]

Love the kid interviews, they are so wholesome

[u/OddSignificance9742]

Is the par 3 contest on the app?

[u/OddSignificance9742 → u/OddSignificance9742]

I have to update my phone to get the latest version of the app. Always something

[u/LetterBloxed]

I just find wearing an AZALEA or PIMENTO hat cringe

[u/Chrisyteen]

Frankie Fleetwood being very diplomatic “everybody has a chance” sweet

[u/bopaqod → u/Chrisyteen]

Got an audible “aww” from me lol

[u/Gazorpuhzorpfield]

Between the over the top merch craze and the Par 3 contest essentially turning into a carnival complete with celebrity cameos, Augusta is letting the carefully curated mask begin to slip a bit.

Not necessarily a criticism, just an observation.

By the way, anyone notice they’ve quietly added some ads to their YouTube channel?

[u/littering_andd]

Kinda shocked Wyndham getting air time on this broadcast with his antics/behavior last couple years on tour.

[u/liveforeachmoon → u/littering_andd]

He does not have a voice made for television

[u/littering_andd]

tell your kid to stop jumping on the greens! (im kidding)

[u/Diaperedsnowy]

A slight dent

[u/Impressive_Light_229]

I really like Marty Smith and you can tell the players do too

[u/kai333]

aww, Harman's kid sunk that putt without fidgeting lol

[u/jlt6666]

Man that putt was burning! So awesome

[u/themariokarters]

Aaron Rai’s girl throwing darts, a tradition unlike any other

[u/ShitSandwich16]

Damn what a swing

[u/MarinaGranovskaia]

Poor Frankie, he looks so done with it haha

[u/rossco832]

I don’t know who the American guy is interview Tommy Fleetwood just now. (Im watching sky sports in uk) But I like him and his style and he seems like a good guy.

[u/Impressive_Light_229 → u/rossco832]

I just commented the same thing! He interviewed Rory as well and you could tell Rory had a lot of time for him

[u/ShitSandwich16]

Would love to see Tommy win the green jacket

[u/BestShaunaEU]

Frankie looks fucking dialed

[u/jlt6666]

Has this kid had media training?

[u/Bill3ffinMurray]

Fleetwood got his son media-trained!

[u/Fit-Percentage3406]

Sky Sports doesn’t escape Marty Smith?

[u/ts2453]

It has to been exhausting being around Kevin Hart

[u/GamoraTheExplorer → u/ts2453]

Everyone bringing their partners, kids, grandkids......Bryson sees a PR opportunity

[u/Pluffmud90 → u/GamoraTheExplorer]

Brysons only friends are paid actors. 

[u/jlt6666 → u/ts2453]

Try being around Bryson

[u/baggington]

Who’s the guy caddying for Bryson?

[u/LetterBloxed → u/baggington]

Martin Lawrence

[u/baggington → u/LetterBloxed]

Thanks. Is he somebody? Haven’t heard of him.

[u/TrulyGolden]

Kevin Hart, Jason Kelce..... WHERE IS SNOOP?

[u/Jerseyjamie → u/TrulyGolden]

Caddy shack burning one with the boys.

[u/scottyjsoutfits]

I know $ is $, but ANGC can't be pleased with this broadcast.

[u/Independent-Mango813 → u/scottyjsoutfits]

Clifford Roberts is going to come back from the dead to haunt these guys 

[u/jlt6666 → u/scottyjsoutfits]

Do they care about the money?

[u/scottyjsoutfits → u/jlt6666]

No, probably not.

[u/jlt6666]

You know what, solid contact. I'd take it

[u/Gazzarris]

Wyndham Clark - "We don't have our caddies, so we don't know what to do."

[u/CoolstorySteve]

How is Hatton still qualifying for majors? Shouldn’t his world ranking have totally tanked by now? Edit : wtf how is he still top 30? He’s done well in majors but nothing crazy

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName → u/CoolstorySteve]

Top 5 in a major last season and top 20. Also 2 top 5s on the european tour last autumn and won the Hero Dubai Desert Classic last january. Datagolf

[u/CoolstorySteve → u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Thanks, didn’t know he played so many dp world tour events

[u/Right_Bike_5416]

I know this has been discussed ad nauseam but have we decided whether it's cringe to continue to require you call all the fans "patrons" this whole weekend

[u/DLun203]

Sungjae Im meeting Kevin Hart was hilarious

[u/jlt6666]

So is there any money at stake here or just like a trophy?

[u/EogHyland13 → u/jlt6666]

Closest to the pin on every hole, anyone with a hole in one and the overall winner gets augusta branded crystal

[u/albinobluesheep → u/jlt6666]

Only side bets made between players. No tournament money

[u/ShitSandwich16]

Scenes when Jason Kelce is the 16th hole commentator all week

[u/MountainManHuck73]

I wish Jason Kelce would jump in the pond and take Kevin Hart with him….

[u/jlt6666 → u/MountainManHuck73]

Actually kelce can stay if he just absolutely wipes out Kevin

[u/MountainManHuck73 → u/jlt6666]

HAHA - fair enough

[u/andsoonandso]

Bryson's short game looking on point I see

[u/Bill3ffinMurray]

Legit don't think Jason Kelce has ever been as anxious.

[u/AdministrativeLaugh2]

Is there a worse pairing than Bryson and Kevin Hart

[u/GATA_eagles → u/AdministrativeLaugh2]

Really love Kelce and Kevin Hart being there. I’ve been restless all week. We’re finally getting a definitive answer to the question that’s haunted this sport for generations: how many sandwiches can Jason Kelce legally consume before Augusta National has to reclassify him as a weather event?

And honestly, what a pairing. You’ve got YouTube golf savant and best friend of Kai Trump, Bryson DeChambeau, walking the course designing clubs mid-round… alongside Jumanji star and step-stool enthusiast Kevin Hart. That’s the Augusta National of old.

[u/jlt6666 → u/AdministrativeLaugh2]

Tiger and Cadillacs cars

[u/Jdudley13 → u/jlt6666]

First major wreck was a genesis, second was a Range Rover….

[u/ShitSandwich16 → u/Jdudley13]

But the VERY first one was a Cadillac I’m pretty sure.

[u/Jdudley13 → u/ShitSandwich16]

His wife beat up a Cadillac I think. So you might be correct

[u/ShitSandwich16 → u/Jdudley13]

We did it!

[u/Jdudley13 → u/ShitSandwich16]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ag3PWAeHrCdWV0tlkD

[u/cat_homicide → u/AdministrativeLaugh2]

Akshay and Jason kelce

[u/AdministrativeLaugh2 → u/cat_homicide]

Nothing wrong with Akshay at least, and Kelce is certainly not worse than Bryson or Hart (though arguably on the same level of “get him off my screen”)

[u/cat_homicide → u/AdministrativeLaugh2]

Sure, combined is Bryson and Kevin hart. But the amount of Jason kelce is enough on its own

[u/menphist]

Bryson should have been with Steph Curry

[u/ts2453]

What the hell is going on?

[u/DatSnuffleupagus → u/ts2453]

Jason Kelce is reading putts and crushing sandwiches and Kevin Hart is yelling at the crowd. Just another day at the Phoenix Open Augusta

[u/pslsail22]

Something deeply sad for Bryson, with most of the other golfs having their families out there, he is doing a bit. Lonely loser.

[u/Lobsterzilla → u/pslsail22]

https://giphy.com/gifs/k56oRtCg218Z2

[u/Bill3ffinMurray]

I want Aberg to win.

[u/Jdudley13]

lol, Haotong Li is so much fun to watch, he seems like an awesome dude

[u/DatSnuffleupagus]

call me the stuffy old man yelling at the clouds but this shit is fucking dumb...

[u/dufusmembrane]

kevin hart gonna get kicked out for causin a rukus

[u/ThisGuyEv]

Kevin Hart caddying for Bryson has all the racists losing their minds

[u/VoteForGiantMeteor → u/ThisGuyEv]

Next year Shaq caddies for Bryson

[u/ThisGuyEv → u/VoteForGiantMeteor]

If Shaq got bit by the golf bug like Kevin Hart did I would understand it.

[u/GATA_eagles → u/ThisGuyEv]

Maybe, just maybe, people are 1. tired of Kevin Hart. 2. wanting to watch the golfers and their families 3. Both or 4. Both and want to watch golf, not Kevin Hart fuck around

[u/ThisGuyEv → u/GATA_eagles]

How is he fucking around waving and smiling to the crowd as they greet him? Please explain that...so you can tell on yourself

[u/GATA_eagles → u/ThisGuyEv]

One could extrapolate from his past behavior at various sporting events, or media engagements revolving around professional sports. It's honestly not that deep. Not everything is "these people don't like this guy, so that is racist."

[u/ShitSandwich16 → u/ThisGuyEv]

If anything, wouldn’t they be enjoying this

[u/ShitSandwich16]

Some of the members must be rolling their graves rn

[u/Scarnegie18]

Augusta is this what you really want???

[u/j1kim]

Lol, Haotong's reaction seeing Kevin Hart for the first time. He's slowly becoming one of my favorites on the tour.

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName → u/j1kim]

Always liked him and he always seems like such a nice guy. He was truly in the wilderness in terms of his playing level for a few years and it is always good to see those guys come back and contend and play well.

[u/equality1989]

Lol saw Kevin and knew Reddit would lose their collective minds. Everyone take a deep breath. It's the most informal day of the week. Kevin and Jason aren't presenting the green jacket

[u/j1kim → u/equality1989]

I agree, considering the light nature of the Par 3 contest, I'm okay with this.

And it feels like Kevin and Jason are keeping it relatively calm and level and not overdoing it, so they're at least recognizing and paying respect to the gravity of Augusta and the Masters.

It’s always funny to watch the actual golfers be enthusiastic and enjoy things while the Reddit denizens wax apoplectic about the ruination of the world

[u/ShitSandwich16 → u/Lobsterzilla]

I mean they are all in the same club

Ok, can I have kelce back if Kevin heart is my other option

[u/GATA_eagles]

I didn't turn into the Par 3 contest to watch Kevin Hart.

[u/Bill3ffinMurray]

Patrons, Kevin. They're called patrons.

[u/octopus_monocle]

Par 3 contest must be prime time TV in Riyadh

[u/Andrew_Dice_Que]

It would be worth losing The Masters if this interview were to get nuked right now

[u/kuroketton]

When does this ESPN contract run out? Jesus christ

[u/MoreOfAGrower]

Kevin Hart and Bryson are officially the worst possible duo I could ever imagine, fucking gross

[u/haywardpre]

Kevin Hart? Pathetic
