2011 Masters

[Snoogans]

I figured Id make a thread for this. You can go to Masters.com (www.masters.com) and watch live either amen corner, 14 and 15, or the featured groups. Tigers is the featured tomorrow I think.

[TheGameHHH]

So ready for this

[Justice4all]

So ready for this

Same here...first big golf event of the season. Looking forward to it.

[Snoogans]

Rory in with a big number early. -7 65, currently in the lead by 2. TW is even thru 13 or something

[Furtherman]

GET IN THE HOLE!!!!!

[Contra]

There's a new black guy to root for

[Snoogans]

There's a new black guy to root for

Vegas isnt black if thats who you mean

[Contra]

Vegas isnt black if thats who you mean

Joke, he looks about as black as tiger

[TheGameHHH]

So I've decided to TiVo the first two rounds and watch them when I get home from the gym. As long as I avoid espn.com things will be fine. It was a fun first round today, loving that Rory was a stud today. I'm def pulling for him during this tournament. I can't wait for the weekend though.

I loved it when someone in the crowd yelled out after his drive on 17 or 18, "Be good Johnny! Johnny be good!"

Much more original than hearing those hacks yelling "Get in the hole!" constantly.

someone yelled at him during the match play after he made a long eagle putt "Whatever happens with Vegas stays in Vegas". I dont know why but i started cracking up

people that yell "Get in the hole!" at golf tournaments should be taken behind the 18th green and immediately shot in the head. And possibly raped first.

[CountryBob]

tiger mother fuckin woods yall!

wouldn't be very immediate then, would it?

[Snoogans]

i watched tiger through 6 holes. He looked awful. that run came outta no where. but it is augusta, and even last year he made a run like this. He is always gonna play well here. But i think he really has a chance now with all the youth and inexperience ahead of him

[TheGameHHH]

I loved that group of McIlroy, Fowler and Day. They were really fun to watch

[TheGameHHH]

Jason Day just made the best putt I've seen all tournament thus far.

[Jayw]

Jason Day just made the best putt I've seen all tournament thus far.

That was some quality shit

[TheGameHHH]

somebody stop mcilroy

[King Imp]

I must have missed this one you are speaking of, but Saturday was a horrendous display of putting overall. I hope today offers more drama because yesterday was a bore. :sleep:

[Jayw]

Ya mostly due to a slumping tiger. I was so pumped to see him make a run after friday, and he just couldnt make a putt. I did like how you could tune to an all tiger channel and watch him prep for shots and shit. That first short putt he missed he spent about 10 minutes prepping for it, he definitely over thought it.

i wouldnt call him slumping. in fact, he has hit the ball as well as he has hit it in like 18 months. He just couldnt make a putt. Thats alot better than the past few months where he just couldnt do anything. He isnt far off. He should go back to his Cameron putter

[Snoogans]

if it keeps up like this im gonna feel so bad for rory. he looks terrified right now

[Jayw]

That fairway wood tiger just hit was fucking amazing, was this his 3 wood?

[Snoogans]

5

[Snoogans]

game fuckin on

[Snacks]

Tiger is making his move. I would feel bad for Rory but Tiger really could use this! He looks like his old self today. Red shirt, fist pump and the crowd is going nuts.

[Jayw]

This just got really interesting. thanks tiger!

[sailor]

Yip!

[KnoxHarrington]

Right now there is a 4 way tie for first and 5 more guys within 2 shots.

This is kicking all kinds of ass.

[Snacks]

This is the worst collapse I have ever witnessed. Rory is on pace for an 84 or 85 final round.

Pretty much. And McIllroy shows the difference between a youngster and a vet. you rarely, if ever, see a veteran collapse like that.

Yea....RARELY = never. What school did YOU attend?

[epo]

Fuck him. He's acting like a bitch.

Maybe he should get his fat ass in shape.

[underdog]

You said rarely, if ever.

[epo]

I so wish Johnny Miller was calling the Masters. I'd love to hear about his final round when he won the US Open.

[TheGameHHH]

Rory absolutely defined the term bedshitter today

[Tenbatsuzen]

You said rarely, if ever.

This. The term "if ever" means that it hasn't happened in recent memory.

[Justice4all]

This. The term "if ever" means that it hasn't happened in recent memory.

And HOW long ago did Norman do his collapse?

[Justice4all]

You said rarely, if ever.

Right....thanks for proving my point.

I don't remember any time recent that the leader board was this crammed with people so close to each other. -10 for the weekend and you might not win the Masters....wow.
Great display of golfing today from many players.

[Tenbatsuzen]

And HOW long ago did Norman do his collapse?

15 years. Velverde was 11. That's "recent memory".

[KnoxHarrington]

15 years. Velverde was 11. That's "recent memory".

Actually, if your'e talking about Norman's collapse against Nicklaus, that was 25 years ago.

Holy shit knowing that was 25 years ago makes me feel old as hell. I remember watching that on TV. If you weren't rooting for Nicklaus there, that was proof positive you're a psychopath.

So the last two were over a decade and a quarter century away......you're right...that's not rare...what was I thinking?:dry:

[Tenbatsuzen]

OK, you want to get into Mickelson's meltdowns? Rocco Mediate? (which was less of a meltdown and Tiger willing his way to win)

Norman had TWO meltdowns. And let's not forget Roy McAvoy.

[sailor]

you do get people are only taking issue with the "if ever" part, right? no one is disputing it is rare.

[underdog]

sailor to the rescue.

[epo]

I feel terrible for Angel Cabrera. It's almost impossible to concentrate when you are playing with someone who is acting like McIlroy.

[ihaveabadmonkey]

Was that Shane McMahon shaking Rory's hand after the 18th?

[Snoogans]

And HOW long ago did Norman do his collapse?

norman collapsed a bunch of times. AS did your boy phil, who has blown like 6 US Opens as a veteran. Just accept you are wrong, Tom

[Snoogans]

i missed like from 4 o clock on. can someone explain to me what Rory was doing on the course that has everyone killing him? Everyone says he acted like a bitch but no one describes what he did

[underdog]

He was crying.

[Snoogans]

He was crying.

HA. Stop it. come on

[HBox]

HA. Stop it. come on

He triple bogeyed a hole, held it together, then shanked his drive on the next hole. After that he dropped his head into his hands and lost it.

[underdog]

Yeah, it was sad. It went on for a couple holes.

i feel so bad for him man. he might never get it back

Fuck him. I know he's an amazing talent, but he was acting like he was 12 years old.

[underdog]

Fuck him. I know he's an amazing talent, but he was acting like he was 12 years old.

Eh, he's young and he had a lot of emotion going. People cry. He realized he was blowing it.

[KnoxHarrington]

Eh, he's young and he had a lot of emotion going. People cry. He realized he was blowing it.

And it wasn't like he was blowing some bottom tier nothing tournament no one cares about and only airs on the Golf Channel to a couple of hundred people...he had the fucking Masters wrapped up and it slipped away.

I doubt I'd be acting very well in those circumstances either.

[epo]

Eh, he's young and he had a lot of emotion going. People cry. He realized he was blowing it.

Which is a great excuse, accept that he's a professional and he acted far from it.

I said it earlier, but the real victim here is Angel Cabrera. I have no idea how he was supposed to concentrate with Rory acting like that. His 37 on the back is more impressive to me than Johnny Miller's 63 at Oakmont.

The guy was shooting like shit and crying. How the fuck does this effect anyone else? Professional athletes cry all the time, especially after losing big games. There's a lot of emotion going and it just explodes.

Angel Cabrera is a professional. If he can't concentrate because the other guy he's playing with is crying, maybe he should stop playing golf.

[Tenbatsuzen]

WHOA WHOA WHOA WAIT a second

This is the same Snoogans who fucking KILLED a guy who gets drafted in the NFL and is caught on camera crying?

Just checking

[Tenbatsuzen]

Work with me on this guys:

Twitter blew up tonight because a female reporter for the Bergen Record tweeted this:

Bad enough no women members at Augusta. But not allowing me to join writers in locker room interview is just wrong.

So by reading that, people automatically assumed that no women are allowed in the locker room. Never mind the fact that other women have covered the Masters. NO ONE has ever said there's a rule preventing women from covering this.

Twitter fucking BLOWS UP.

Apparently, it was two rent-a-cops who said women were not allowed in.

Later she tweets this:

I am on deadline but here is convo w/steve ethun of masters media committee: It was a complete misunderstanding by the tournament week security and you should have rightfully been given access per the standard practices of major sporting events.

[Snacks]

Until men reporters can go in to female locker rooms then women reporters shouldnt go in to mens locker rooms. Why is this such a problem?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Men reporters can go in to female locker rooms, but that's not the point. You're missing it.

The reported tweeted that Augusta has a phantom rule about female reporters in the lockerroom - or that was the implication - when it was, in fact, an overzealous security guard.

[TripleSkeet]

I LOVE the fact they still dont let women join Augusta. Regardless of whether you agree or not, its nice to finally see someone who says "Tough shit." To people that whine and complain about how they run their business.

[TripleSkeet]

Was that Shane McMahon shaking Rory's hand after the 18th?

Yup.

I know your point and what happened I was just stating my opinion about the subject in general.

yea lets check. something happens the guy knew would happen for 2 months thats really good vs a guy who is in the middle of choking the biggest tourney and maybe having his whole career slip away too. Yea same thing

[Donnie Iris]

Wait, did he actually cry? I never saw that. He certainly collapsed and gave it away but even in the interviews I saw post-round he seemed relatively poised and direct. I actually really felt for him.

[keithy_19]

I cried when I was drafted 3rd overall and tripped while walking to the podium and blew out my knee.

[Snoogans]

"I think it's a Sunday at a major, what it can do," he said. "This is my first experience at it, and hopefully the next time I'm in this position, I'll be able to handle it a little better. I didn't handle it particularly well today, obviously, but it was a character-building day. Put it that way. I'll come out stronger for it."

he better hope so. it could end up ruinin him

[Donnie Iris]

he better hope so. it could end up ruinin him

One round (3 holes really) at Augusta (Sunday no less, still right in contention) and he's 21. Ruining him? Really?

[Snoogans]

its happened before. I dont mean ruin him like he never plays well. But just anytime he has a lead late or anytime in a major, it might creep up. He did it at st andrews last year too. shot an 80 in the 2nd round after taking a decent lead. That shit can stick

[A.J.]

Eh, he's young and he had a lot of emotion going. People cry. He realized he was blowing it.

Yeah, never heard of not crying being part of the requirements for being a pro-golfer. The only thing you need to be a pro at is hitting the ball and walking.
