Masters 2024

Amen corner eating these pairings alive.

How quickly it went from a 5 horse race to Scottie running away

[tower912]

Fewest mistakes.

[Herman Cain]

Scottie doesnt go backward.

Will be interesting to see how many years he can sustain this level of Excellence.

If he decides to take the Saudi blood money, he'll lose that level of excellence.

[PGsHeroes32]

Always a bummer when the finish is anti climatic

But good for Scottie though. Hes the current best golfer in the world and showing it.

[Skatastrophy]

I was rooting for Morikawa and Aberg the past couple of days. Nice to have so many talented young golfers coming up.

[Uncle Rico]

Looks like a heckuva defense by Rahm.

[rocket surgeon]

Any bets on the gender of Scottie's first born? 

Regardless, the dude is going o be a great daddy to either

Me thinks he has a boy followed by 2 girls

Morikawa and Scottie are the same age and both have two majors.   Scottie was a machine for most of the day.  Tiger-esque in how he kept the pressure on until the other players made mistakes.    If this was a US Open, Scottie is the only one to break 280.

It looked to me, granted watched on TV, but the Liv guy received a muted response by the fans and TV coverage. Rahm looked like a lost guy to me.

The TV interview with Morikowa after told the whole story of the point you are making. Colin flat out admitted he got greedy on the Doubles he made at 9 and 11.

Masters requires a bit of U S Open type strategy. Morikowa was hitting ball well on front just couldn't make a putt. Could have player conservatively on 9 and made the turm 1 under which would have kept him in the tournament . Certain holes just get the par and move on. The Birdie opportunities on the backside are  on 13, 14, 15 and 16.

Scheffler was on cruise control the whole back nine.

[CreightonWarrior]

Rahm looked like the poster child for "Money Can't Buy Happiness" yesterday.

[tower912]

Yes.  But he gets to go back to playing resort course in shorts against Talor Gooch, so he has that going for him.


Betcha Rory is kicking himself for suggesting Scottie should switch to a mallet putter.

How many scoopers putt with a mallet?   I putt with a center shaft Bettinardi.  Larger version of the classic Anser-style weighting.   No offset.

Yeah, but if you play Doral after getting a guaranteed $500 million or whatever ridiculous sum it was, you are as prepared as you can be.  It's an excellent tuneup for Augusta.

Looks like the LIV guys simply wanted to honor Greg Norman and no-show on Sunday at a major

They should be used to muted responses, they've been muted by their masters from Jeddah

I use an odyssey 11 mallet. Love it. Feel so much more confident than I did with my old blade.

Scheffler's dominance, from Yahoo Sports:

++ Scheffler won by four strokes thanks to seven Sunday birdies, the most in the final round by a Masters champion since Nick Faldo had eight in 1989.

++ He joins Woods as the only players to win the Players and Masters in the same year, and the only players to win multiple majors while ranked No. 1 in the world.

++ Entering the Masters, there was a strong argument to be made that the 2024 version of Scheffler is the best golfer we've seen since peak Tiger Woods. Now that he's won, it's hard to argue otherwise. He still hasn't shot a round over par this year.

++ Scheffler has made $12.7 million in on-course earnings over the last 35 days (~$361,500 per day). He's been so good that his caddie, Ted Scott, has earned $1.2 million this year based on the standard 10% cut, which would place him 54th out of 200 PGA Tour players.

I judge golfers based on how they communicate with their caddies. It was easy to dislike dechambeau because every mishit he would seemingly round on his caddy. Like, dude, you're supposed to be partners. Super unlikeable even though I don't know anything about him.

I've enjoyed hearing the discussions that golfers like Scheffler and Spieth have with their caddies.

It's not like Rory would've won had Scheffler missed a few more putts.

Same, especially Spieth. Because you know Greller is probably thinking "JFC dude" to most of the things Jordan puts out there.

Bubba was such an ass to Ted Scott it turned me on him immediately.

For the bad rap Fox got for their golf coverage, I thought this was a cool thing they did. The Greller-Spieth pairing will always bring fun content.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the preconceived notion of Joe Buck, I'm guessing it would have been viewed more positively.

Definitely happy for Ted

I'm a little surprised this is only Scheffler's second major. With as good as he's been the last few years, I was certain he got another since the Masters. It looks like he's been close.

If he can get his putting squared away, I'm guessing he will get another in short order.

Winning majors is hard.
