The 2018 Masters Thread

[Jackhammer993]

This is one of the smallest fields in recent Masters, I believe 87 players. When you cross off a few of the older champions the odds become pretty favorable for almost all big names to make the cut. The biggest thing to be worried about is the Saturday weather messing up the finish. Other than that everything is in place for the most epic golf tournament in a long time. Really want Tiger to be up towards the top from start to finish. He doesn’t even have to win just be up towards the top all 4 days. Last 3 groups Jordan, DJ followed by Rory, Bubba and the final group Tiger and Phil. If anything close to that happens I’m not sure how I will handle it. Please golf gods let this happen!!!

ESPN reporting it will be Tiger, Phil, Freddie and Thomas Pieters on the second 9 tomorrow.

My buddy and I made the masters website and Facebook page a lot today. We’re on the left. I’m in green, buddy is in pink. Such an incredible day!

Cool little stat they showed during Jason Day's press conference-

One would think all those guys would have green jacket with a stat like that.

Looks like Spieth is 70.375 in 16 rounds.

Damn, Augusta is set up tuff! With par as 72, this would mean that the number of guys who can break it during Masters is less than a pro football roster for sure all-time.

I’m pretty sure Arnie and Jack and a couple of other guys belongs up there, thinking both of equipment and golf rounds over the age of 45. That said, Jason is always on my radar, he seems always to be in contention at the Masters.

Tiger Woods' peers say "it's a joke" that he's a favorite to win the Masters

 

Does anyone try to ride Tigers coat tails harder than Hank Haney?

[Valtiel]

This guy is GOOD.

All this expectation and yet Danny Willett will probably end up winning by 15 shots...

Jason is right at 25 rounds in his Masters career thus far, so he has been playing that course as a "young gun," and lately right in his prime years.

 

I'm sure the numbers start going up rapidly as players get to 40 years of age and higher, which kind of makes Phil's average pretty significant. He has played 94 rounds at Augusta. Tiger 78.

 

I'm sure Jack and Arnie had pretty good averages at 75 rounds.

This year all the stars have aligned for the greatest one ever.

 

Imagine Tiger Phil Rory Jordan in a playoff! I could only peep at it from behind my sofa.

[imakaveli]

Go Poults! Make it two in a row and make WRX spicey again! :D

 

Remember if you want your side to win the Ryder Cup, you need to root against them at The Masters.

 

No Masters winner has played on the winning Ryder Cup team since Langer in 1985.

 

Go Poulter!

 

 

So? Records are meant to be broken. Go Poults!

Nicklaus' scoring record is pretty exceptional considering he only finished competing in 2005 (at age 64 I believe).

My local course runs a pick-em where you can pick 10 golfers, doesn't matter who, and the best combined total fedex cup points wins. I had a damn hard time deciding on who to choose. Everyone is on their game and peaking at the right time. On paper, this has the chance to be an awesome tourney.

 

I went with: Jordan, DJ, Tiger, Phil, Rory, Rahm, Rose, Bubba, Pieters, Noren

Hard to argue against those picks. At the top of the leader-board on Sunday only Pieters would be a surprise, in my humble opinion.

Had to slip in a guy or two that a minimum amount of people in the contest would be picking, so as to stand out because everyone is picking some combination of the same people.

 

Also considered Fleetwood, JT, Hidecki, Ricky, Paul Casey, Reed, Poulter, Stenson and Day.

This just proves this point that so many guys can win this tourney. Thursday can't come quick enough!

So many guys have a chance. Optimus, that Pieters pick could be the dark horse. We will find out in a few more days!
