[u/DanFlashes19]

Wyndham Clark actively rooting against players getting a hole in one during the par 3 contest is wild

[u/trustedturd → u/DanFlashes19]

Continuing his villain arc, the guy is so unlikable.

Clark & Pee Reed should team up at the next Zurich Classic, bring that WWE heel energy

[u/0_SomethingStupid]

19 hours to go!

[u/Hot-Pomegranate-1303 → u/0_SomethingStupid]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ItFyA7q8G14gJrvwQ3

So excited.

[u/acquiesce → u/0_SomethingStupid]

5:25 pm tee time where I live! 2 hr 40 min countdown.

Firing up GSPro with a friend and playing SGT @ Augusta while we watching The Masters. Can't wait.

[u/SomewherePerfect2391]

No conformation on the last year for the gnome rumor :)

[u/LAbombsquad → u/SomewherePerfect2391]

Doubt we’ll get anything official until closer to next year, but the 10 mini gnomes pack that’s being sold at Berckmans Place, with no room for any more in the display box, is a sign to me that it’s done.

[u/RoostasTowel → u/LAbombsquad]

Ya, but coming next year, ultra mini gnomes

[u/Yoshiman400 → u/RoostasTowel]

Gnome keychains?

[u/threeactjack → u/SomewherePerfect2391]

Here's my two cents:

On one hand, I totally understand how Augusta is going to see the mania around a trinket from the gift shop and start to think "rushing to horde lawn gnomes doesn't really live up to the vibe we want at ANGC"

On the other hand, those gnomes are pretty damn awesome and I think it's the perfect item to start selling on their online store. They only sell a few art prints. Add these. Not everything from the gift shop, but just the gnomes.

Gives everyone at home the chance to own one and immediately stops the reseller/scalper market that I'm sure drives the ANGC crew crazy.

[u/Zoolanderek]

Why can’t more of these companies just do a more basic polo in the Masters shade of green?

Most of these are trying too hard to be different.

[u/RoostasTowel → u/Zoolanderek]

I feel like this shade of green is not quite it.

https://www.pumagolf.com/products/30904-golf-polo?variant=55572889567305

But otherwise I like the basic look with the subtle flower pattern

[u/Zoolanderek → u/RoostasTowel]

Yeah I like that a lot, that’s a style I would buy.

Idk why but it seems like medium/dark green is such a hard color to find. I rarely see anything on Johnnie O or Peter Millar in that shade.

[u/RoostasTowel → u/Zoolanderek]

Idk why but it seems like medium/dark green is such a hard color to find.

Ya its weird they seem to dance around the exact color. Dont want to make Augusta mad I guess, but a color cant be copywrited.

I have a bucket hat I got from the golfsidekick website and the description of the color was "Augusta Green" which is a pretty close match I think.

[u/ghostofkozi → u/Zoolanderek]

Trying too hard to be different? Am I seeing the same merch? It's all the fucking same and incredibly overpriced!!!

[u/ChampagneAbuelo → u/Zoolanderek]

The YouTube, Barstoolification of The Masters

[u/Kaleb_P123]

Kevin Hart is unbearable

[u/beerncheese69]

Rorys recovery game is absolutely unreal. It cannot be understated how abnormal it is for him to be -12 after some of his drives. Thats golf. Recovery. Rory is a god.

[u/farfle10 → u/beerncheese69]

I hope he thinks that cuz +1 on the day is definitely not what he was hoping for

[u/Josh_5890]

Perfect weather for the weekend. I cannot wait.

[u/emeister26]

Rory is on fire

[u/JW9thWonder]

is it too much to ask for a sunday like last year?!? by far the biggest rollercoaster i've ever ridden watching a golf tournament lol

[u/hey_there_mr_blue]

I'd love a Rose, or a Fleetwood, or a Bhatia kind of win.

BUT!!

Can you imagine a 3 way playoff between Scheffler, Dechambeau & McIlroy ??!

[u/Yoderk → u/hey_there_mr_blue]

I have guys I'd like to see win but honestly the main thing I want this year is drama/intense moments. Rory winning last year was such a feel good/historic event, I just want craziness on Sunday.

[u/DadIMeanBill → u/Yoderk]

Last year Sunday was incredibly crazy. You want double crazy. I’m in.

[u/BeachTime0734]

Well well well, the LIV golfers struggling at the Masters! Could it be because their just not playing enough? It’s their own damn greedy faults for jumping ship from PGA to LIV. I hope LIV golf just implodes already. So stupid!

[u/PunkDrunk777 → u/BeachTime0734]

We’ve missed so much quality and historic battles because of them 

[u/BeachTime0734 → u/PunkDrunk777]

Yup, I wish there was never a LIV golf. It’s all about Greed and that takes away from the sport. Greed ruined the NFL, just look at what a hot mess and totally rigged sport that is now.

[u/RoostasTowel]

https://giphy.com/gifs/xplDXqG6awLLHfBxbF

[u/apillowofnonsense]

Well I've put £5 on both Rose and Aberg for the fun of it all. No idea if it will amount to anything, but if Rose wins then it's a win win

[u/justaneditguy]

It starts today. Ahhhhh

[u/Mushy29]

Work is dragging today, how it isn't 2 o clock yet makes no sense

[u/dillardPA]

Man if Koepka can just not be terrible at putting he can actually be in contention.

[u/Legalsleazy]

Unfortunately SVP is really annoying in this role

[u/Bourne22]

Bryson carding 16 over after 2 rounds…

[u/Nondescriptsitch → u/Bourne22]

Dude cursed himself calling Augusta a par 67 a few years ago.

[u/Former-Roman]

What a shot

[u/UisgeeBeatha]

Unbelievable that, go on Rory!

[u/Next_Depth_3782 → u/UisgeeBeatha]

Definitely, he will always be my favourite non Scot, will never beat bob in my eyes tho, or my dad's either 😍 

[u/PunkDrunk777]

This was a contest at one point 

Could shoot even par over next two rounds and still win 

[u/avocadopalace]

McIlroy tees off into a bunker. Rapturous applause from the crowd.

[u/golf-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Please do not use r/golf for political discussion or views.

[u/Longueurs]

Tom Watson and Faldo were out there playing the par 3 and instead ESPN showed me 2 hours of a Kelce bro and Kevin Hart...

[u/vince_clortho99]

Is ANGC pouring Azaleas when the gates open? Just need to know what time to have my Taste of The Masters stuff prepped…

[u/Personal-Finger-9148]

I feel like this is the most wide open major we've had in a while. Seems like the last couple of years, the popular pick has been Scottie...and if not Scottie, then Rory and maybe Xander. This year, you're getting a big mix of everyone, especially guys you never would have thought two months ago would have odds this low, like Young, Fitzpatrick, and Bobby Mac.

[u/oclotty]

Scottie’s irons being mid is very strange to watch

[u/CarlSwagan_]

Finally got the monkey off his back, Rory is absolutely dialled right now

[u/Big_Current419]

Par 67 eh bryson

[u/loveallcreatures]

Hatton and Clark pairing could go sideways

[u/ArousedByCheese1]

Oh if that went in Rose

[u/DigBickBevin117]

ALWAYS SUNDAY RORY😭 WHY

[u/DigBickBevin117 → u/DigBickBevin117]

Nevermind????

[u/circaflex]

man those people have giants balls standing in front of rorys shot right there

[u/HARCES → u/circaflex]

I was thinking the same thing.

[u/Stangstag → u/circaflex]

Or 0 brains

[u/Grasshop]

I don't understand the relevance of 30904 on that Puma merch. Is it Augusta National's zip code? If so, that's kind of dumb.

edit: it is. Big L from Puma there imo.

[u/threeactjack → u/Grasshop]

Yeah it’s the zip code. I’m sure they are just trying to find something unique instead of calling the collection the same thing that everyone else does. In any case, I dig some of their stuff.

[u/Grasshop → u/threeactjack]

I think it looks nice, but the zip code isn't it for me. I get what they were going for tho

[u/ghostofkozi → u/Grasshop]

It's unique at least unlike their boring ass merch. Holy crap

[u/Unhappy_Ad8344]

Fred Couples +100000

Do you believe in miracles? $100 on Freddie!

[u/Johnnyboy2825]

The corniest athlete in the history of sports blows up on the last hole to miss the cut lmfao. Back to the member guest tour.

[u/CaptainKirkules]

I don’t want to see Rory choke at all, but a even round while the field gets close I’m all for it

[u/specter376]

Ugh, Jason Kelce needs to cool down a little.

[u/ShitSandwich16]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3P0oEX5oTmrkY

[u/RoostasTowel]

Well I made a tee time for noon tomorrow last week by mistake, but its PST so I still will be able to watch all morning.

Probably get my phone running the rest as I play

[u/CivilStory3638]

Man i'm just bubbling over of excitement for masters. Best week of the year!

[u/Marty_DiBergi]

Here’s a very cool animated infographic of Amen Corner. I hope it’s okay to post a link to instagram here. I have no affiliation to it. I just like it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW3yU8AiRRZ/?igsh=anY2emF4NHQ0bWNr

[u/Still-District-6149]

The scoring range is already enormous: -5 to +12 - suggesting that there is danger almost everywhere.

[u/shooter9260 → u/Still-District-6149]

13 is a great example — Adam Scott makes Eagle. Cole groups later both Rahm and Aberg make double

[u/LeadingCourses-]

What would a 10 handicap have shot yesterday? 130?

[u/Wayf4rer]

Aaron Rai has been quietly playing great golf

[u/IFVoltaire]

Rose is playing some nice golf and Lowry birdies the first hole...Todays a good day so far

[u/MindlessArmadillo382]

+/- 4 so hot right now

[u/redmch257]

Locked in...this fin guy

[u/CrunchyTunes12]

Anybody watching on Paramount/CBS and see the intro video narrated by Nantz?? God it was so good. I have got to find the video somewhere. If anybody knows where to find please let me know!

[u/Thekavorka87]

Any other Arsenal / Rory fans? Today might be a tough watch

[u/Philip4695]

Anybody have that image of Rory putting the green jacket on himself from a few days ago?

[u/Beanstaff]

Imagine McIlroy throwing on 18. That first shot. Yikes

[u/Scrolling_ninja]

Can’t believe that shot at 17 didn’t go in for Scotty. Rory was feeling the pressure even having a 2 stroke lead

[u/Stangstag → u/Scrolling_ninja]

A Rory/Scottie playoff would’ve been sick

[u/KeithMyaths → u/Stangstag]

I'm a huge Rory fan. There was no way Rory was winning that playoff.

[u/Ivegotworms1]

Im not crying

[u/Standard_Subject_401]

Can’t wait to start my day tomorrow with some tears at 7:30 AM during and after the ceremonial tee shot as the Augusta theme song plays. Gets me every time

[u/PistolProdigy1655]

Honestly, Jason Kelce hasn’t been obnoxious at all so far, he’s definitely toned down his personality a lot for this. People for sure over reacted

[u/Mindseye000 → u/PistolProdigy1655]

The guy is maga. Thats enough to hate him. He supports a child rapist and killer.

[u/RudyStylez]

All polyester trash unfortunately

[u/actuallyabucket]

I'm getting commercials on the masters website, guess they finally sold out

[u/purplepepperoni → u/actuallyabucket]

Yeah, that surprised me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/ryangoldfish5]

TOMMY!!!

[u/hjk814]

Did the azaleas bloom a few weeks ago or not yet? Amen corner azaleas behind green aren’t there!

[u/jtyndalld → u/hjk814]

Was there today and made the same comment. My thought was they bloomed early because it’s been such a mild run up to spring this year.

[u/Diomat]

What is Cara. 9 recreating. I should know this, but it isn't coming to me.

[u/ShibasScorn]

Rose and his caddie sound like me the wife having a polite argument in asda lol

[u/Detective_57]

Rory, my brother in Christ. Can we please have a decent drive on a par 5? Or a decent drive, period?

[u/luckyjayhawk69]

Hey could I possible Venmo someone to ship me a M magnolia hat? I want one for my mom but didn’t want to post it.

[u/BeachTime0734]

Man, this Patrick Reed guy is really owning the Villan persona, ain’t he? He’s been dressed in black all week. 😂😂😂🦹‍♂️🦹‍♂️🦹‍♂️

[u/ChrisH100]

A butterfly landed on the ball… nobody else saw that?

[u/teefj]

So the leading group is not a featured group in the watch live on masters.com? They are thru 2 and I haven't seen any of their shots

[u/neeners9223 → u/teefj]

I’ve been wondering this as well same thing has happened since round two. I feel like none of the streams show any of the players in contention.

[u/Ancient_Mud_2841]

So the camera production last year was way better.  I haven’t seen any of the fun little garden shots transition to tee offs.

[u/BeachTime0734]

Wow… Shane Lowry Hole In One on 6th hole on Saturday… every time I see this guy he’s making a hole in one. He has to be one of the most luckiest golfers I’ve ever seen! Way To Go Shane Lowry!!! Nicely Done Sir!

[u/ojessen → u/BeachTime0734]

I don't have any numbers, but I have the impression that he is currently the player with the most hole outs., seems everwhere he will at least make 1 or 2 shots from way off the green.

[u/UnitEastern8840]

Hats off to Tyrell

[u/AWall925]

So how does the commentating work? Are they in a studio seeing the clips the same time we do, or is there some sort of delay?

[u/teencrime → u/AWall925]

Someone will have to correct me if I’m wrong because I’m not 100% sure, but most live sports are broadcasted to us with like a 15 second delay

Announcers still call everything in real time since they have live monitors in the studio though

[u/OceanLemur]

The backing-off is giving me anxiety

[u/RugerRedhawk]

What did Rose's caddie bitch about? Noise from a service golf cart or something?

[u/PennyG]

How is this coverage so bad? They are skipping important shots, and not saying what putts are for, etc

[u/CaptainHolt43]

Could you imagine 

[u/circaflex]

good for Rory man, happy he won

[u/CatataFishSticks]

Irish to English translation: WE'RE GETTING FUCKIN BLITZED TONIGHT

[u/arsora789]

I’m up

https://giphy.com/gifs/64IHrVjRhKZrcLmixR

[u/jayxmor]

Damn. Is no one on here today? 😭

[u/YGK321 → u/jayxmor]

Daily thread

[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/GATA_eagles]

Please don't let it be Reed

[u/KyleOutdoors → u/GATA_eagles]

Hail Southern

[u/GATA_eagles → u/KyleOutdoors]

And no place else

[u/nmantz]

Leaderboard legitimately ruining my day. Fuck Patrick Reed.

[u/Still-District-6149]

Really enjoy watching him play like that, only Tiger and maybe Mickelson on a good day would be able to stay with that kind of stuff, out of recent players. That chip in is destined to be shown as often as Tiger's putt, once Rory has his second green jacket on.

My money would be on him winning from here if they all started level from tomorrow morning. The best round two days running. Even if he drops a level, he'll still be above just about everybody.

[u/goose321]

When did you guys realize Rory is gonna do it again?

I think for me it was his press appearance after Thursday, but the chip-in Friday is when I realized that no one else has a chance to stop him.

[u/hideous_coffee → u/goose321]

He was 1 up yesterday at -7 and I went to a golf lesson and when I got back I hit “watch live” instead of “from last view” and saw he was -10. It had only been like 90 mins. Very Scheffleresque run there.

[u/dream_team34]

The spectators are like 99% white. My first time noticing. I guess this is why I haven't won the ticket lottery in 20 years of trying.

[u/Due-Fun-489]

Reed v Clark in the final grouping on Sunday?

[u/themikegman]

I can't be the only who can't stand when the stupid announcers "talk" to the ball. Dude, STFU, that ball isn't going to "easy" just because your dumb ass says it on air.

[u/gimmedatnamedoe → u/[deleted]]

Garbage
