Unless you're @TollBros, I think I speak for pretty much everyone here when I say that I'm glad his Scotty chalked up #15 and not the paint-flaking Ardmore. I'm sorry, I mean, ahhhhh, it's not bad, and it's totally ok if you're into that sort of thing....lol.

[TBD203]

Almost surreal watching this. The most emotional I’ve ever been for a sporting event.

Since 1998 or so.

Absolutely. Stock for GSS Cameron’s with vertical stamped faces just went up 30%! Lol.

He didn't hit a branch on 18, that was a cold shank. Watch it on the Masters app tracker, clear view.

I’d say “ somebody call in some food , a expresso machine and a massage team. There’s sheep to shear tonight “!

It was just a lay up bender...

He said there was mud on the ball, so I dunno if that was a shank.

Tiger has 16 Majors now with the CBS replay.

Not gonna lie, missing my Byron 615 replica of it, so last night I just re-ordered another in a 612!!!! ha!

 

Maybe that'll be my cover to tell the wife if she gets clever, commemorative Masters win putter. Then I'll get her to agree that any future majors necessitate a new order as well!!!

Well, the PGA just went from being "hey it's crowded here" to- "holy schniikes I can't move crowded" - He is the needle!

[Konklifer]

Call it a comeback.

Yes, but only for the last 20 years or so... :-)

I play an Ardmore, and I agree. It’s only right that Tiger uses the Scotty. And yes, the Ardmore is flaky.

He used a Ping putter before 1996. His junior days and into Stanford. I think he switched over to Cameron sometime in 1996 and used a Cameron putter at the US Amateur in Newport, RI.

[ebrasmus21]

What a day.

 

Congrats Goat.

[BearQ]

Thanks for giving me first 'abuse' for asking to ban you @"Cool Runnings". That's a great honour. You simply aren't going to trick the whole board though, the victim act is too little too late. Your posts are there for everyone to go over and so are mine. You literally fought over a 2012 ryder cup match for at least 20 posts in this thread alone. Directing anything towards you for to understand how difficult its been to deal with you, is essentially useless because you arent hearing/accepting ANY of us.

 

We've been here a long time. People dont do what you do. No one is truly abusing you dude. You have legitimately angered so many people, Ive never seen anyone do this here.

 

So I'll take that abuse rating with pride from you. But you will not manipulate me into thinking we hurt you or acted against general wrx behaviour/courtesy. You've been called out by the biggest WRX veterans and golf enthusiasts for WEEKS. I dont really have to prove my case against you.

 

I stand by you being banned. Give me another abuse rating if you must. I'll take one for WRX if need be because I can't stand another tournament thread with you fighting with EVERYONE.

The PGA of America says thanks to Tiger - now the move to May will be thought to be brilliant! It's not, but don't get me started, lol.

[ex0dus]

Low score of the day was 67 by only 2 guys. I think the course was playing tougher than it looked.

Pretty sure the top players didn't conspire to tank and let Tiger win.

Well, heck. I thought I was on to something.

I only knew that because I'm old. :-)

Apparently I’m the last to know.

I’m old, too. But not very observant.

Things just don’t get better than they did today. Very smart decision to move up the tee times and avoid and delays, Monday finishes and protect the safety of players and spectators. Tiger showed why he is on a completely different level than everyone else currently out there. The meltdowns by almost every pro once they sniffed the lead was once again on display while heavy favorite Rory is probably somewhere with his team telling him how it was a successful week because he had a decent last round once there was absolutely no pressure on him to perform. Brooks was really the only one who stood up and challenged. He did make the one mistake on 12 but overall he didn’t let the pressure get to him. Xander also kind of didn’t completely fold and DJ did the classic slow start and get back in it at the end. Talent wise these guys all have incredible skills but they just don’t get it done on Sundays. Great tournament. Maybe my all time favorite but I will have to decide on that after the excitement dies down.

But could a scratch golfer break 85 playing from the Sunday tournament tees, Masters condition, never seeing the course, no caddie (meaning walk the course by themselves) and only 1 hour to warm up?

 

(sorry in advance for bringing this up ..... total tongue in cheek response)

When Tiger was in his prime, I was at the age where I didn't fully appreciate the magnitude of his achievements. When he won previously, I just thought "Wow. Another win for Tiger."

 

I even remember him winning the U.S. Open 11 years ago (when I was also 11). I had no idea golf would be different _without_ Tiger. And then, he disappeared from the game. It seemed every step forward in his recovery was followed by two steps back. There was a palpable difference between watching a golf tournament with Tiger and watching one without Tiger.

 

I've never enjoyed watching a golf tournament more than watching this year's Masters. Tiger needed a victory like this, and so did golf.
