Just barely enough room for all the picks. I should’ve gone with Reed. I’ve picked Justin Rose in the past but he wasn’t even on my radar this week. :sigh:

Bryson DeChambeau, lauded as The Mad Scientist, nicknamed The Professor, so-called smartest guy on tour, said it was too hard to calculate distances from downhill lies into elevated greens and uphill lies into downhill greens.

Ancer got penalized for touching the sand. I saw it live and thought, is that still a penalty?

Laird whiffs a 6 foot putt.
Shrugs, stares at it a bit comically, scratches his chin a bit, looks to his caddie, scratches his chin again with an exasperated look on his face, like, he's obviously just goofing off.

Color commentator on Masters.com feed "He's looking to his caddie. I'm not sure if that's a look of 'We mis-hit that' or 'you mis-read that'. Either way, the result IS the same, and he's not happy.' Like it's 100% the caddie's fault that he loving blew a 6 footer past the cup and he's obviously just making a doofus face at it. That loving caddie!!!!

This featured group coverage is so so much better than the afternoon broadcast. I have it on while I'm working and hearing the birds and frogs with only relevant commentary and plenty of "dead air" is awesome.

I need him around for the weekend for some live action schadenfreude.

e: Feature Groups this morning have been great, like yesterday. My key take away is that I don't like watching Scott Scheffler play golf. Fleetwood has been Steady Eddie.

That Ian Woosnam 1991 win was my first Masters. If you get the Sports Illustrated from that year, you'll see me sitting next to Olazabal on the 18th as he waited to watch his putt. I was 12 and wearing my SpaceCamp jumpsuit lol.

Wait, so Rory just full shanked a mid-iron into the woods, played a provisional, and then Si Woo Kim broke his putter to the point where he's now putting with his 3 Wood?

Big Beef City

Si Woo Kim broke his putter after a three putt, then putt with his driver on the next hole, then whipped the ball into the pond after sinking it. Smooth, my man.

e: 3 wood, my bad

As I suspected Kim uses one of those graphite-steel hybrid putter shafts and it broke right at the interface

Ah yes, the Denis Leary "Suicide Kings" special.

e: Okay, my favorite thing about this now is the commentary crew agreeing that they've all done this before, but disagreeing with his use of a 5 wood as a replacement over a sand wedge or lob wedge.

drat, if there’s one club I wouldn’t want to break. He slammed that thing though, kinda asking for it.

poo poo, are those hybrid shafts notorious for snapping easily? I've been eyeballing a set for my irons...

I mean, granted, he slammed that into the ground and I don't PLAN on that, but who knows when you're gonna take a nice chunky divot or something right?

e: lol the announcers now talking like him breaking that putter was just disgraceful.Horrific. I mean, yea, he jammed it down. It's not like he gave it a Stone Cold Stunner and then flipped it off as it lay in 4 different pieces.
ee: "Champ here for birdie. He was the long hitter here on Tour, before Bryson put on 40 lbs. That sorta...changed things around." heh

BDC really turned it on today, and definitely had a few other putts that could have dropped.

But also had some like 10-20 foot putts that were like a foot or more off line.

In general, the hosel on a putter is WAY shorter than in a normal club and the putter shaft probably also has a softer tip.
