Tiger, shut it down.   Too cold, too wet, too much back and leg pain, too much rough.

I hope golf fans truly enjoyed that Masters performance. It was a magical moment. Perhaps, in the right circumstances it can happen again.

But, he looks 60 years old out there. His body will never allow him to compete in events like this moving forward. He needs warm and dry conditions.

It was lightning in a bottle.    It was magic for the Tiger fans.    And it is possible he will catch lightning in a bottle again.    But all of the stars have to align.

Pretty sure he’ll be happy to go home early during the playoffs.  Everything after Augusta is gravy

Rahmbo is playing very well right now.    Will he be able to control his emotions when a couple of shots go astray?

JB Holmes.   A one round wonder historically.    But a very good first round, nonetheless.

The guy can control his ball in the wind so he may hang around a while.

JB was freakishly long before everyone was freakishly long.   Then the brain surgery.  Has won a few tourneys, but hasn't really gotten close in a major.  Other than the brain tumor, it sounds like Gary Woodland.   One round.   Let us see what the weather does.

Koepka may be one of my least favorite athletes of all time.

I know he's a decent enough guy, never been in any trouble, and the best golfer in the world right now, but there's something about him that just irks me and I just can't figure out why.

  harmless.  has a chip on his shoulder and so would i.  tiger texted/asked him if he would do a practice round with him after congratulating him on his us open victory.  never got a response=weird.  but he did say that he only practices before majors-kinda weird again, but that's what brooks and i have in common ;)

  once again, we don't know the rest of the story-maybe tiger tried showing brooks girl his putter err sumpin ::)

Tiger wanted to pick Koepka's caddy's brain. 1500 rounds at Portrush.  Koepka takes the majors very seriously.

Wow, I did not know that. That knowledge could be quite helpful.

What's not to love about IJP?  Grinder, good guy, loves the Ryder Cup.

He once bragged about never having read a single book in his life.

I felt exactly the way you describe about him....couldn’t put my finger on it....maybe because he’s just too buff, too machine-like, and too good....then i heard something that confirmed my weird loathing of him...on the Asian tour, he developed a liking for horse meat.

If I could’ve pegged one guy on Tour who just looked like he committed that one mortal sin for the NDC, it would’ve been Koepka. Any tournament he wins tears me apart from the core....it’s almost like being forced to watch Tom Watson be scalped at the wire again and again by Stewie Cink.

Brooks is just pissed because he won 4 majors and has no media love. 

The guy comes from great athletic genes. His great uncle is Dick Groat, two sport athlete who was College Basketball player of the year in 1952 and NL MVP in baseball in 1960.

Excellent observation. He's simply not a very good golfer any more compared to his peers. They hit it farther, hit it more accurately, hit it more consistently, have better short games, are better putters, are just as mentally tough and are far healthier. Winning the Masters was a ridiculously amazing performance.

Needs to be hot for Tiger to muster a performance. No need for him to even travel to The Open anymore.

Tiger winning this past Masters had the feel of like when Babe Ruth hit 3 HR and drove in 6 for the Boston Braves in a 1935 game or Jerry Rice had 8 catches for 145 yards for Seattle in a 2004 game.

It was an all-time great giving everybody one final moment of greatness.

That's probably extreme, because those 2 clearly were at the end while it isn't preposterous to think Tiger could do it again. Then again, back then it might not have been preposterous to think that Babe and Rice could keep going, too.

Maybe better: Michael Jordan hitting several last-second winners and having numerous 40+ point games for the Wizards. He could still occasionally hang with the young'uns, but he clearly was no longer MICHAEL JORDAN!

Lee Westwood doing well through 2 rounds. This may be one of his last chances at a major. Would like to see him win this.
