If he makes the cut, should be a huge win for him and will definitely add to the Tiger intrigue in this year's majors. No reason for it to be a disappointment based on the pipe dreams, as you said. Winning the Masters is an insanely tall order especially for a player still on the comeback trail.

Just happy for him to seem healthy and really competing.

Completely agree. He just isn't far enough along in his comeback. BTW, maybe Reed is due. I thought he would have made a double by now.

Tiger winning this week was always a pipe dream. Based more on heart than head.

But it was a dream a lot of dreamers were dreaming. Crazy.

Weather is supposed to move in bigly tomorrow. Nearly 100% chance of rain for several hours. So who knows how much of tomorrow's round will even be played.

There are some very good names within striking distance - Stenson, Spieth, McIlroy, Johnson, Thomas, Watson. I hope they get to do their thing tomorrow.

I am a fan, and I'm an even bigger fan of the food prices. I was stunned by how low they were.

Beer was $5. I’m told that’s up quite a bit from past years.

Rickie was about 1.5" short cumulative today of behind 6 under on the round. His luck turns around tomorrow.

Nothing good at the moment, but most guys made the cut. I wac is great shape in the 3.5 million one at about noon yesterday, but things move quickly at The Masters. Good luck!!

CBS has got some young guns in the final two groups. Rematch of the Ryder cup between Reed and Rory.

Final pairing of McIlroy and Reed is going to be fun to watch. I expect both to be firing at pins.

MU82 · « **Reply #41 on:** April 08, 2018, 09:38:59 AM »

I will enjoy watching today as I work on my taxes and other stuff in the background.

With Tiger not being a factor pretty much from the get-go, unless McIlroy, Reed or somebody else makes an incredible impression today, the lasting memory from the 2018 Masters will be of the defending champion getting a 13 on No. 15 on Day 1.

Funny how many people work on taxes during the Masters. I thought the best part of Garcia's disaster was on how he was willing to meet with reporters and be forthright about what happened. A lot of guys would duck that interview. Hope he does well at the other majors.

Sergio has grown up a lot. He used to be very pouty. I'm sure finally winning a major helped him.

He was great to deal with when he was a kid, though. I was at that 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah when he hit that blind shot from the roots of that tree. It was an electric moment. Many of us thought he and Tiger would be the two young guns challenging each other for a couple decades - kind of the new Nicklaus/Palmer. Well, half of that equation didn't work out so well!

You were right the first time. This isn’t the Ryder Cup.

Reed is cracking already. At least Spieth waited until the back nine.

Respectfully disagree. You have either arguably the best young golfer post-Tiger in Rory completely the career Grand Slam, or the first for Ryder Cup hero and burgeoning tour heel Patrick Reed. It’s not like it’s going to be won by a little known golfer or a semi successful Euro player with little name recognition (unless Rahm pulls a miracle)

Rickie going to to Rick this Sunday up.

Fair point.

I do think that if Reed wins, history will judge how "big" it was. If it's his only Masters and he turns into Duval ... meh. But if he wins this dramatically and goes on to have the nice career most think he will, then you're probably right.

Still, I do think everybody who was there Thurs or who saw it will be saying this in 2038: "The 2018 Masters? Wasn't that where Sergio Garcia dunked 5 in the water and got the 13 on 15?"

It would be nice to see Spieth make a comeback on the back nine.
