the masters is off to a ?? start
« on: April 06, 2017, 05:06:31 AM »
  dustin johnson, who has won 3 straight tournaments heading into the masters, an 11-2 favorite has dropped to 7-1 along with jordan spieth and rory mcilroy after falling down a flight of 3 wooden steps, onto his back. 

  http://www.espn.com/golf/masters17/story/_/id/19086664/dustin-johnson-injures-back-falling-stairs-eve-masters

  i changed one of my draft kings teams because of this news; it better be accurate because has been head and shoulders better than anyone else.  ok, he may have been on many other rosters as well which in draft kings, can work against you.  the key to draft kings is, well, i almost liken it to a lottery-you must pick the right combination of golfers who not only do well, but are chosen by fewer draft kings opponents.  that is why i've argued with some that this isn't really gambling.  it's luck of the draw with a little skill, awareness and knowledge of the sport.

So sounds like...uhh, well, gambling to me.

Anyone else and people are like "dang, thats a really unfortunate accident".  But given DJ's history, everyone is playing for the story behind the story.  I think Occam's Razor is probably correct here.

Maybe he can play his rounds after he recovers, and have a fan email a video of it to the officials, who can add him to the leader board after the fact.
Have some patience, FFS.

That was quite a 9 by Spieth.

As a hack, it's nice to see these guys eff up a hole like that every once in awhile!

I think Rickie Fowler is going to step up and win this tournament today.

No TV coverage and listening on the radio. Sounds like an awesome finish.

Should have been five under in last five holes. Sergio has missed two six footers on 16 and 18 and didn't touch the hole either time.  He has missed six putts under ten feet today.  Putting is whats its about.

Sergio has to be deflated now and would be shocked if he won this.  Good stuff, rooting for Sergio, but Rose is nicest guy on tour and a green jacket would look great with gold medal.

Uh oh, Sergio.  Well done.  And on Seve's 60th birthday.  Congrats
