I said HERE. At Augusta. He putts poorly here annually. This week is not a fluke it happens every year. If I had shot trackers from last masters I'd sit and show you the data on that too.

[Cool Runnings]

I thought you'd be interested in the facts:

 

Rory is ranked #56th inside 10 ft in 2019

Tiger is ranked #141st inside 10 ft in 2019

Spieth is ranked #161st inside 10 ft in 2019

Jack loved the sans-a-belt slack....

He tended to go up and down a few pounds thru each year and they put elastic in the top....

Actually a genius idea I wish they would bring back...

Check out my pic of Kite at Birkdale on the page before...same style of pants...

Really a great design

Poults and Tiger doing some color coordination. Bizarro with this lilac, gray, white scheme.

Cantlay started the day +2 now trails by 2 at 5 under.

Who cares, he choked when it mattered the most. This is why he will never be an all time great.

He's already an all time great. 20+ worldwide wins 4 majors 1 away from the slam.

That's not an all time great in my book but I guess we all have different standards to what we call greatness.

[eddie_max]

Another par 5 tee shot putting him in a defensive position. He finds a par 5 fairway bunker every time it seems.

[bladehunter]

Louis and now Adam Scott bringing back the pleated slacks!

[PZero]

Phil off to a hot start.

My innitial thoughts were that he was too loose to be a great...then he dominated. Something in his walk put me off.

 

And regarding being a great. At a chat with Gary Player once, he said that he considers the numer 7 as being a great (majors)

[PZero]

I was hoping for a tough test today. It seems it is a birdiefest out there.

4 majors not an all-time great - pray tell in the annals of professional golf the % of players who have more? Less than 1%.

[PZero]

Phil came to play today.

Noooooooooo! Ernie Els never stopped... I guess if you wait long enough things will come back...

[nosedive32]

Now that is why Phil Mickelson intentionally plays to the left bunker on 4 when the pin is front left. If only he had hit his target in 2012 on Sunday

Count me in as happy about this. I’ve never actually owned a pair of NON pleated pants or golf shorts. I guess I’ve been hopelessly out of style for a very long time. I dig the pleats.

28 men have 4 professional majors. Only 18 have 3 legs of the slam.

As a matter of speech. Don't literally think he is the worst putter in the world inside 10 ft . Probably many amateur golfers are worse than him as well as TW and Spieth. Maybe just this tournament he might be one of the worse, though..

[bladehunter]

But all time great suggests top 15 ish player all time. We aren’t there minus the grand slam.

[Apathy_Overdose]

Another wasted par 5 and then not taking advantage of the easy 3rd hole for Tiger.

Anyone else found it a little odd yesterday when he declared himself to be in the mix for a 3rd straight major...on a Friday?

Would be embarrassing if he stays at -6 or moves backwards and is out of it in few hours because it's a birdie fest for the other players out there today.

 

 

[pheenomz4774]

Rory desperately trying to save his chances to get back in this tournament. Still got a bit of fight left in him.

[Jagpilotohio]

Hummm. Weather forecast looks hideous.

Looks like a Monday finish unless they tee off at dawn.
