ITS MASTERS WEEK!!! (Page 2 of 5)
| Todays wind is going to make play interesting. Ideal playing is right now. Wind to pick up this afternoon. And it's cold here. Was in the 50s this morning. The greens should harden up as the day goes on also. We got a decent rain last night. |

https://nypost.com/2025/04/10/sports/jose-luis-ballester-i-peed-in-raes-creek-at-2025-masters/ Enter Jose Luis Ballester, the 21-year-old reigning U.S. Amateur champion from Spain, playing in his first Masters and paired with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in Thursday’s first round. He peed in Rae’s Creek at the 13th hole. Asked if he was concerned there might be some blowback from tournament officials, Ballester said, “They saw me. It was not embarrassing at all for me. If I had to do it again, I would do it again.’’ |
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

You have to set up a "My Group" with the golfers not in the featured groups you want to follow. I have the featured groups playing on one screen and then the other golfers (Min Woo, Bryson, Sergio, etc etc) in the other screen in a My Group stream ETA: But I agree, not having Bryson in a featured group with more coverage is really dumb |

No LIV players have been in any of the coverage on the website yesterday or today. Bubba Watson, Dechambu, Patrick Reed, Duston Johnson, Cantlay. You wouldn't even know they are in the tournament. All are playing well but I suspect something is amiss when it comes to "picking" the players that are to be featured. |

Cam Smith has sunk me. I need to quit picking him.

| Yeah I like Cam but he’s been very disappointing for a couple of years. I was all in with Liv from the beginning because all the banning and canceling pgat was and is doing is BS. Not to mention most of the pgat players have zero personality. And they hurt themselves at the Ryder cup over it. That said, the Liv guys have not done much in majors except Bryson. |

And they hurt themselves at the Ryder cup over it. That said, the Liv guys have not done much in majors except Bryson. I can only imagine the amount of practice and maintenance it takes to be able to compete on the PGA tour and in the majors. I would guess that many of the LIV players do not keep up with that strenuous of a regimen now that they have the guaranteed money. I think it is hypocritical for PGA tour players who signed $100M or $200M with Nike and Jumeriah when they were teenagers to be critical of a 42 year old doing the same with LIV. I think for the top 50 players on the PGA tour it is a pretty good gig, the guy who was 125 on the money list last year won about 1.1M in prize money. If he played in 30 events and spent $10,000 in expenses per week (airfare, hotel, food, caddy) he paid out $300,000; After taxes on 1.1M his take home pay was maybe $700,000 ? So he had $400,000 left over after expenses. I bet the 125th best attorney in the united states last year made a helluva lot more than $400,000 |

Bryson winning here would be bad for everyone. I'd like to see Rory pull it off then retire in his acceptance speech. I suspect Scottie will march on as he does though, if today was his bad round, he'll be well clear by Sunday afternoon. Originally Posted By Sean124:LIV broke Rahm. Sad, he was one of my favorites. Ooops. Now it's "Jon who?" while Scottie takes World Number 1. |

(Grip...release...grip...release...grip...release...grip...release...grip...release...grip...release...grip...release...grip...release...grip...release.) Kind of joking, but remember when the New Yawkuh's started counting his grip cycle at Beth Page Black? |

But what is it with these Spaniards? I miss Seve...

I suspect Scottie will march on as he does though, if today was his bad round, he'll be well clear by Sunday afternoon. Someone lied to him, he clearly thought he was doing a quick money grab just before a merger or whatever. Ooops. Now it's "Jon who?" while Scottie takes World Number 1. Rory is the commercial favorite, Bryson is the organic favorite. Bryson is the future of golf, pga is the past. Duels hit 1.5 million views in 8 hours. Younger generation likes that accessibility and format that pga squelched and controls/owns. Pga is going to go the way of the buggy whip or Harley Davidson. It would be best for the game of golf if they worked out a deal to get everyone back together, and then just let the players cook. Maybe have Chamblee be a moving target on the driving range? Now this tournament, Rory went bogey free yesterday. He has some fire in him... if he keeps it up he might get it. Either way it is an entertaining win for us on such a nice course. |

One thing that stands out with the Masters app is the lack of commercials. I didn't grow up golfing, or watching much golf. Really didn't watch much sports at all, and still don't tune in until NFL playoffs, college football/basketball conference championships and national playoffs. The thought of spending four days watching 8 hours of golf is...unappealing. So I catch the highlight reels. And it definitely feels like the PGAT highlights are continuously pushing a product. Too often you don't see the guys in contention in the highlight reels, but a screen full of the "chosen" even if they're having a crap day. Getting to watch every shot from my favorite players, with no commercials, on the Masters app is heaven.

| Would love to see Bryson win it. I wouldn't hate to see Rory win as it would be a shame for him not to win a GS. It will likely come down to those two. But of course there are a few close behind that could definitely still be in it. Bryson's putting has been great today. If he can keep it in the fairway and hit the par 5's in two, he will likely get it. |
