2023 Masters Thread

Only 3 players have gotten to -12 during a major after two rounds and not won.

Brooks joins the Great White Choker who did it twice.

That's a shame

Looks like Brooks received Sunday at The Masters tips from Commissioner Norman. Good news, it looks like the Aces won the team event and won $26 million a guy that goes against their signing bonuses.

Rumor has it Phil played so well today because after skipping the Masters last year, all the new faces he saw as matches for Amy revved him up

I know we have said this about Rory, Speith, and Morikawa but I don't see any weaknesses in Rahm or Scheffler's game.  Obviously golf is golf and things can change on a dime but these two are that talented and seem to have unflappable demeanors.

Rahm is the best of that group.  His record since he turned pro is as good as anyone not named Tiger.  The game is deeper than it has ever been and winning majors is harder than ever.  Despite this, Rahm has been a winner and top-10 machine. 

He's avoided the scar tissue that Spieth found at the '16 Masters.  He doesn't have the putting woes Morikawa does.  He doesn't twist his mind the ways Rory does.  Scottie might be close but I'll take Rahm when it's all said and done.  If he's determined to be a legend of the game, he's going to be a contender for a long time

I hadn't really thought about it, but maybe that is why Commissioner Norman leads a golf league that has 54 hole tournaments.    His 54 hole record was awesome.

I think that's accurate.  The thing is when I watch Rahm I never worry about him driving it all over the place. Then you add his two knock down wedges today from 80-85 yards, plus his touch around the greens, and he's a nightmare to beat .  I also love his 4/5 swing and club head speed with that wicked/badass power draw.

I'd think the compactness of his swing versus other younger players holds up longer, too.  So many of these young guys are going to breakdown physically at a young age.

That's a great point.  I think he has that swing because of physical limitations but still generates incredible power.

His swing always looks a tiny bit too quick to me ... and then the result is effen perfect. Which is why he could end up being an all-time great and I'm a 20+ handicapper!

it's extremely rare when he doesn't hit a ball flush.  I can't hit with that pop but similarly don't have a huge hinge.  Now if we're talking ping-ping I can unload with heavy lumber with my forehand at will and inflict tremendous damage.  :)

I was surprised to hear that Rahm is the first European player to win both the Masters and U.S. Open.

Lots of greats over the years, including the much-mentioned Ballesteros and Olazabal, as well as Faldo, McIlroy and so many others.

I read somewhere, I think it was seth greenberg from ESPN had trouble with what Freddie couples was wearing at the masters.  He referred to it as a sweatshirt or something?  I was following the masters pretty closely and I am also attuned to proper golf attire especially in proper places.  we have to remove our caps anytime we enter our clubhouses and whenever I go into any other clubhouse it's just a habit to remove my cap and/ or ask 

In any event, did anyone else here think bam-bam was out of line?  It never really crossed my mind.  He looked just fine even for the masters which along with the open, are the elite events of golf

Boom-boom.  Old guy trying to stay warm.  Hernia surgery upcoming.   Non-issue.

What's ping-ping?

Lots of hate for Michelson here. Other than Rahm's dominance (so,so solid) and maybe Rory's epic fail, Phil's performance Sunday was the highlight of the tournament. What he did given his age was amazing.

Two years ago, I would have been ecstatic.

Typo, my bad.  My 🏓 game used to be lights out Lenny.  Unless I matched up with a pro of course.

Rory opts out of RBC?  A very expensive decision...unless he's picking out his shorts for the LIV tour😉 and half a chuckle

Many of those who played in masters don't seem to have a problem playin this weekend rahm!  Spieth morikawa, Scott, etc etc.
