It is over.  But I will watch to the end to avoid football.

Heck no. Panthers playing well.

Setting themselves up for another Lions-type loss at the end, probably.

I just prefer golf.



I do not remember seeing so many balls on 15 ending up in or near the pond on 16.   All week.

Glad to see Dustin win this Masters. He has been playing exceptionally  well for a while now and has definitely earned it.

Continued to be surprised that Rory has a hard time pulling together four good rounds in a Major.  Easier said than done for sure.

Looking forward to next years Majors when hopefully there are some fans.

I love great, competitive drama in the majors.

Unfortunately, the "drama" part didn't happen this year.

Meanwhile, the Panthers just gave up a 98-yard TD run on a basic handoff up the middle.

So yeah, I wish I had just been watching golf right then!

Rory is such a mystery. He's got 4 majors already, he's only 31, still so young, but over the last 5 years he's just been struggling mightily in the majors. But otherwise he got his mojo back, 2016-2018 was rough for him, but he was POY last year and the FedEx champion.

Outside of Amen Corner in Round 1, he was the best player at the Masters not named DJ. Hope he gets it together fully and is contending every time going forward

Cameron Smith first player ever to shoot in the 60s all four rounds at the Masters .  He may be a factor in the future.

Bernhard Langer at age 63 finished 3 under . Very impressive.

You can't win a tournament on Thursday, but you can lose one.   Rory and Koepka lost it on Thursday.     DJ was not going to get beat this week by anybody having an over par round.  Cameron Smith shot 4 rounds in the sixties and all he gets is the knowledge he had the best second place score ever.  A lower score than his countryman, Adam Scott, had when he won. 

DJ won it.   Nothing less than perfection for four rounds would have beat him.

You are making a very good point. Once you get deeply behind in a major it is hard to recover. This week the way the course played, it made it even  more difficult to come from behind, as the leaders were not giving up many strokes to  par.

Bernhard Langer at age 63 finished 3 under . Very impressive.

Among those Langer beat (not even counting those who didn't make the cut):

DeChambeau ... Woods ... Mickelson ... Spieth ... Scott ... Westwood ... Morikawa ... Watson.

Had those guys been at the top of the leaderboard going into Sunday, folks would have been talking about what a great leaderboard it was. And the 839-year-old guy beat 'em all!

Sadly, a large swath of Americans think anybody Langer's age and older is worth sacrificing to COVID-19. But that's a whole 'nother thread.

This is a legit question. How old are you?
