Seizure.   Syncopal episode.

This has been reported?

It's possible.  It's inconceivable to me he was perfectly fine but speeding and lost control.  The fact that he did not brake could very well mean he fainted or had a seizure.  People fall asleep at the wheel all the time every hour of the day.   I'm not sure why that would be covered up if that's what happened.  He could have had the cruise control on at 80+ mph, before the curve  and fell asleep before going off the road. The idea he hit the gas and not the brake isn't plausible at all.  Even if that happened you would quickly take your foot off and find the brake pedal.  Why are they seemingly  covering this up?  He is beyond lucky that he didn't kill people or himself.

Fun leaderboard heading into the weekend.

Rose with a 1-stroke lead over a young upstart whom some in the know say will be a great champion. Spieth 2 back. Finau, Thomas, Matsuyama and Champ 3 back. Plenty of other notables in the hunt, including DeChambeau at -1.

Among those missing the cut: Johnson, Sergio, Rory, Koepka, Kuchar, Scott, Westwood, Day.

Should be a lot of fun this weekend.

Gonna be a great weekend. Pulling for Finau, don't know if he can get it done though.

I cashed in Rory to miss the cut at +400, thought that was the best bet pre-tournament. Also took Adam Scott to finish as top Australian at +350.

Weekend plays:
Kim Top 5 +400
MacIntyre Top 10 +1100

His par putt on 18 yesterday was brutal.  I think he has to be leading by at least two heading to the 72nd hole because that flat stick of his is no bueno

Keying early tee times today to top 20.

[rocket surgeon]

so the rules allow si woo kim to use another putter.  his manufacturer sent him a steel graphite composite shaft putter overnight.  the one he usually uses but the one he broke had a steel shaft.  wonder why he wasn't using the steel graphite to begin with?  was it because of the masters greens? a different touch or feel? 

as for why he did it?  broke the club?  hey, it's stressful...jon rahm is like hey dude, let's have a couple

he must have been off the green cuz that would have left a mark(a big masters NO-NO)

[rocket surgeon]

lost zach man but hoping to cash in on jordy, zalatoris, reed JT and correy connors

Yeah, I liked that rationale a lot to get guys before the wind really kicks up. Phil taking advantage thus far.

[MU82]

I was thinking that it must be playing pretty easy because Phil is -3 ... but then I see that DeChambeau is +2, so maybe not.

Sucks that the Masters folks don't let CBS start televising at 2 or even 1.

Eh, the Masters website is so good, it doesn't even bother me.

Probably the best in-house streaming platform out there.

Their app is also fantastic. Like really impressive

I%u2019m not a DeChambeau hater or one who revels in his misfortune, but his play isn%u2019t always the best indicator.

Talking to my golf pro BIL, we best equated him to a really good 3PT shooting team who relies heavily on it, given his super aggressive style and the risks he takes based on his approach.

When he, or a team like the Rockets, were on, they are a juggernaut and put up wild numbers, but if they are off, they look rather pedestrian.  Boom or bust. Both are super fun world beaters when clicking, but frustrating on the other end

[MU82]

Spieth seemed rushed on every shot he took at the 7th.

Killer double.

[MuggsyB]

This thing is wide open.  Hopefully they get the 3rd round in.

[MuggsyB]

There's no wind.  Someone has s chance to really go low on the back 9 if there are no delays.  Should be fun.

[MuggsyB]

Terrible shot by Speith on 12

Zalatoris looks really solid.

[MuggsyB]

Matuysma is in full attack mode.  He's really the only one taking advantage of the conditions.  Tremendous back 9.  He's always been an amazing ball striker but poor with the putter.

[4everwarriors]

Mugster, its like your talkin' ta yoself, aina?

[MuggsyB]

Sometimes I talk to myself....touche.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Sometimes I talk to touch myself....touche.

FIFY

[MU82]

Matsuyama and Rose were the only two golfers who could make a putt. And Rose had to keep making 6-10 footers for scramblin' pars, while Matsuyama was getting birds.

[MuggsyB]

Do you think Matsuyama holds on?
