2017 Masters Tournament Discussion Thread

[Noke]

Regardless of the miss-speaks and missteps of his youth....this is a popular win.

 

Even TW congratulated him. If Tiger can forgive and forget....maybe the rest of the world can give Sergio a pass.

 

A win for the ball strikers.

 

Those Spaniards....they can play the ANGC.

 

Tiger congratulated him. That isn't the same as forgiving and forgetting.

[whr]

The internet is a horrible place and it reflects here a good amount of time. People like to bring up TW's tipping and call him all sorts of names. SG disrespects and entire race of people and we're told to lighten up. This is typical and comical at the same time. Telling me I can't have my own personal feelings towards someone......only in 'Merica. SG is a POS and ten years later I'm going with he's still a POS. Check with me in 30 years I can pretty much guarantee my answer will be the same lol. I'm not the "turn the other cheek" Black Man.

 

Why are you searching for validation of your feelings on an internet golf forum?

Thats not what I'm doing at all. I'm answering questions that you and others have raised. The last thing I'm looking for is validation from you my friend.

 

Let's see, in this thread you've wished Sergio to fail, called him a POS multiple times, and proudly claim you'll do so 10 years down the road. I "feel" bad for people like you.

[Noke]

Christ on a bike I come here after watching a phenomenal tournament and I have to read this drivel? You don't have to like Sergio. But to come here specifically to put the guy down for a solitary mistake he has clearly grown from after he won the effing Masters? Come on man

 

Christ on a bike. That's funny.

 

No one is forcing you to read this thread.

Correct. But this is the "Masters Tournament Discussion Thread", not the "Is Sergio a Racist?" Thread.

 

Oh, the sin of thread co-mingling.

Lol. So true. Must we never forget all of the atrocities Sergio Garcia has committed against black people in America. Give me a break.

[GwrxMod]

Some of the mess cleaned up.

 

For those derailing the topic....Cut it out!

 

Consider this fair warning. We will start issuing warnings and suspensions to anyone who is unable to do so.

Im so glad this episode about Jack is on. I need something to watch I'm still on a masters high

[deadsolid...shank]

Glad to see it back open.

[Hawkeye77]

Again ---- awesome win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well earned, classy acceptance speech.

[green.tea]

Heck of a final 9

[Strike Force]

Congratulations Sergio!

Sergio's press conference is live on GC.

[knock it close]

I like Sergio but I'll admit I was rooting for the collapse, when he bounced back and gutted out that par on 13 I felt dirty and began to hope he could bring it home. Fun fun Sunday especially considering it was a two horse race most of the day. Also Sergio needs to buy the persons bag it hit on 11 a bottle of something dusty.

 

Also Serg's Champions Dinner is going to fuq.

 

Vamos!

[whr]

Happy for Sergio. Heck of a win!

[cvhookem63]

Great sportsmanship shown by Justin Rose today. I know he wanted to win, but he was classy in defeat.

 

[mjen43]

It would be nice if the whole "have to hit draws at Augusta" thing dies. Sergio seemed to be exclusively be hitting fades all day and week. Not to mention all the greats of the past who won playing fades.

[Yzmerf]

By the way make sure you watch "Seve " if you haven't. I saw it was on GC when CBS started coverage. It's on AmazonPrime as well.

[Just looking]

Agreed still a POS with a green jacket

 

"We'll have him 'round every night," Garcia said. "We will serve fried chicken."

 

He apologized. Get over it or find yourself a safe space. If you can't, I have a box of safety pins I can send you.

Sorry. I've lived in Europe for almost half my life. He knew exactly what he was saying. They're not stupid. He thought he was safe to say what he wanted. He apologized out of necessity. As a black guy, I can still make him wear that shirt if I want to. But this is about golf, and I can let it go to a point.

 

I'm black as well, and I love fried chicken. I don't know many black people who don't. Something's wrong with you if you don't like fried chicken, in my opinion. Since when is saying someone likes a certain type of food racist? If tiger were Italian and Sergio said something about him serving spaghetti and meatballs would he have gotten such flack? I think not

[LittleLeftToRight]

Next year I am betting the farm on Spoof dunking it again at 12. Figure it is a lock.

[cardoustie]

What a Masters!!!

 

Great win

 

Superb ballstriking ... except a short blip on 10. This guy hit lasers at the pins all day ... missed some short putts and still pulled it out

 

Hall of Famer now

[NV825]

Bummed that Rickie collapsed, but the silver lining in today is to never give up. Bravo Sergio!

[Holy Moses]

It would be nice if the whole "have to hit draws at Augusta" thing dies. Sergio seemed to be exclusively be hitting fades all day and week. Not to mention all the greats of the past who won playing fades.

 

But he almost lost the tournament on the draw holes of 10 and 13 where he couldn't place a drive

[egr2teup]

This is an intriguing press conference with Sergio. He has matured leaps and bounds.

[miboy]

That was some great playing by Sergio, congrats!

[Holy Moses]

This is an intriguing press conference with Sergio. He has matured leaps and bounds.

 

I've been saying for months that it's good to marry a younger, attractive, American woman. It would do wonders for Sergio's golf. And that was one of the first things Brandel said in "Live from the Masters." He knows from experience too. I bet Brandel is breaking 70 again.

I agree that there are a few holes where draws are optimal but there's also other holes where fades are preferred. There's much more to golf and winning than the ideal tee ball shot shape.

"I liked being called the best player to never win a major because that meant people thought I was a good golfer - a positive thing. Now I guess I will have to hear if I am the best player to only win one major, but I like the new title better."

[Strike Force]

Sergio Garcia - Masters Champion • A Sunday to Remember!

[doublepar93]

That last putt really was icing on the cake. Super classy ending handshake between the two as well.

LOL Brandel Chamblee...More like Brandel Cucklee.
