Rahm and Kopeka are not playing good golf right now.  I know they have a cushion but maybe someone posts-8 and that's enough?

Lol

[MuggsyB]

Koepka with a complete meltdown which I foresaw!!  It looks like Rahm won't be caught.

Huh, weird how he seemingly fell apart after 54 holes.

Wonder what the reason for that could possibly be...

And Phil with a just plain silly run.

Phil playing the villain is so fun. All black and his LIV team logo on everything today.

3 LIV golfers in the top 5 right now.

All three of those guys are pretty boys. And that's from before they even went to LIV

Lots of golf - and water holes - to go. One bad shot and he could be tied or worse. Not predicting that, just sayin.

Maybe he read my comments?  I never cared for him and we're talking well before the LIV stuff.

Now explain Mickelson and Reed

[MuggsyB]

Rahm just dropped the 🔨 on 14.  Tremendous shot there! 

[MuggsyB]

Brooksy!!!  You're Cooksy!!!

Not fair that they added an extra day on to the tournament.

[MU82]

OK Muggs, NOW it's over (barring a catastrophe).

Now explain Mickelson and Reed

They faced no pressure; neither had a realistic chance to win. Koepka had a chance - hell, he had a 4-stroke lead - and folded like Origami.

I don't know that the 54-hole thing had anything to do with anything, though.

Brooksy was -13 and is now -7.  That's called gagging as the course is very playable and yielding low numbers.

Two years ago, even last year, I would have been team Brooks.  LIV has changed my perspective.   Koepka basically admitted he took the money because he did not know if his body would recover.   And that if he felt as good a year ago as he feels now he might not have gone.
  So today, as I watch the Masters live for the first time all week, I find myself conflicted.   Root for the guy I used to root for who went to LIV, or root for the guy I almost never root for specifically because he remained on the PGA tour.

Turns out, I am not ready to move on from LIV.  Took no joy in Phil's run, enjoyed Brooksie's hooksies.

[tower912]

This could become a laugher.


Would that be a Rahm-com?

This joke holds up.

Lol.  I enjoyed this meltdown Tower.  Koepke looks very unhappy.

Funny how major events will do that to sports fans. You learn real quick which side of the line you fall on.

Was a pretty easy call for me though, never liked Brooks or Lefty.

[tower912]

I was a fan of both.  For now, the operative word is 'was'.

[CreightonWarrior]

As a chrome soft and Travis Mathew enthusiast I couldn't be happier (unless tiger won).

[MU82]

¡Vamos!

[Herman Cain]

Over the last few years, Rahm has consistently been at or near being the top player in professional golf. Excellent to see him put another major on his resume.     

I think Koepka will be a factor in the rest of the majors this year. This Masters was his first major playing healthy in quite a while.  Going wire to wire was probably too big an ask .

52 year old Phil places second. Very impressive.

[Uncle Rico]

That's a shame

[MuggsyB]

Rahm and Scheffy could dominate for some time.  Their best is just better than everyone else's right now imo.  Congrats to a very worthy champion.

Muggsy:
They both are at top form, however there are still a lot of strong players who can get hot during a major week. Lets see what happens at Oak Hill at the PGA. That course will be very tough in May. Rough will be thick and it will play like a US Open
