At this point playing 72 holes would seem like a win

How did Homa ball stay dry?

They’re really laying the fake birds on thick right now.

Nice to see Tiger play well, but now he has to play 23 holes tomorrow. Doubt he can hold up.

My mom used to smack gum and wore prescription sunglasses that made her look ridiculous. Phil Mickelson is the closest facsimile to her that I've ever seen in my life.

I hope we can last the 25 or whatever it is tomorrow and set the record.

Has anyone here ever been a spectator at The Masters? What's the scene like? I am fairly new to golf, so I wasn't aware of the concession prices. How "diverse" is the gallery?

It's as diverse as you would expect from watching it on tv. Are you thinking people would try to start something. Didn't see that when I was there.

 

[culdeus]

I don't know what Thurs to Sun passes go for but Thurs to Fri if you go with a club was like 4k and that includes a bunch of stuff like nookie girls driving you around, booze off-site, hotel, and bartenders pretending they don't care if you look at their cans.

Just give Scottie the jacket now.

 

[gump]

Most big names started well. Today and Sat could be wild.

His ball-striking is at a level only Tiger has achieved in recent history…the greens need to grow some teeth.

The wind is going to dry them out and cause problems in its own right. This afternoon could have scores more typical of a US Open.

Uh oh.

Just saw on the news that Scottie Scheffler's wife is pregnant and he his prepared to leave at a moments notice if she goes into labor.

Jason Day, wait.

Let's get some pitocin in her system.

Very promising start…the way these chips are rolling out.

It could be some residents but probably club members, friends/family of the club staff, PGA execs, players etc. A lot ALL of the residents rent their homes out to players/families, companies sponsoring trips, etc...

Fixed

Folks in Columbia rent their homes out for the Masters for $1500/week and they are an hour away. The folks in Augusta make insane cash this week.

trainwrecks all over the place right now

I thought Jordan was going to pull a AAA and launch that putt in to the lake while it was still rolling. He barely let it stop before he marked it.

My parents lived in Aiken, SC for several years. They didn't rent their house out, but had several friends who did and they were going for around $2k/wk. This was 15 years ago. Crazy.

Not a good start but maybe the short break will help him loosen up.

 

[Zow]

Colt Knost with a funny as he called Day's approach shot on 18:

"He needs to hit about a 30 yard cut... which is the majority of our viewers' regular ball flight."

Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Colt.

10:18 2nd round start for Homa’s group’s

 

[AAABatteries]

Early morning is doing basically nobody any favors. Tiger played well overall but could see him blowing up and missing the cut. If he keeps driving it well though maybe he could get a top 20.

I'd bet heavy against that

Yes. I have been on two corporate sponsored trips and they rented out a gorgeous house on the river on the South Carolina side.

I agree but he drove it well enough it could happen I think. Problem is he needs to do it for 54 more holes. I'd definitely wager on him missing the cut over getting a top 20.

 

[falguy]

I see Harman had a rough back nine. 34 on the front, 47 on the back! He's one of us.
Spieth with a 9 on #15!

 

[bcat01]

Would you bet Scheffler over 4.5 birdies today? Or are conditions going to be tough?

The early session scoring was brutal. Maybe the warmer day will help, but it’s playing tough.

wind is blowing harder than @Studs & Duds

Yeah, will be interesting to see how the wind continues. At a minimum it will dry things out and make the greens even faster.

I'm not joking...i have it on my big computer screen with sound cranked in my office...with doors open out to pool patio on this gorgeous Tampa day...a bird just flew in the open screen door to my office. Never happened. Had to have heard those Augusta chirps.

 

[NutterButter]

He needed it. You heard it here 1st.

 

[gump]

Tiger looks rough but is really grinding this out.

 

[AAABatteries]

Tiger can go bogey-bogey to end and make the cut so the record appears to be his. I've been mildly impressed with his game. He's left several shots out there and his putting has been so-so. He could easily be 3-4 under.

ETA - I want to be clear. He hasn't been unlucky. He's been off on some "easy" shots. Further clarification - I'm talking 3 under over the 2 days. He especially missed some shots yesterday.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I love SVP. "Tiger at +1 with a projected cut around +4. Something I know many of you are watching with interest."

 

[Phil Elliott]

Tiger looks rough but is really grinding this out.

Agree. I think he grinds it out to get the cut record and will end up pulling out at some point sometime tomorrow..

It's impossible to know how his body will react tonight - he could easily withdraw but I don't get the impression he's seriously struggling like we've seen in other tournaments. He's grinding because he's old and the conditions are really tough on a hard course - or that's my take.

 

[ChiefD]

I love the Masters and all and can appreciate the tradition and all that, but do they really have to play that funeral parlor music for every in and out of every commercial break?

 

[BobbyLayne]

well done Tiger

 

[General Malaise]

Did Tiger save any Botox for the rest of Orange County? Jesus....

 

[Grahamburn]

Time to just own it and shave that head, Tiger. The monkey butt look is not a good one.
