To me it’s wins and multiple majors but that’s subjective for sure. Plenty of guys with 3 and 4 I think are all time greats that would be out of a top 15, but that’s me.

[bladehunter]

Weathers bad now. Just spotty. Bad bad cells floating around. I had 40 min of yard work to knockout. Went outside in direct sunshine. 20 min in was forced back inside with lightning and thunder. And a black sky.

[Pent08]

Why hit driver if it puts you way out of position even if you're in the fairway? Unless it can put you on the green, why not just leave yourself a full wedge?

[eddie_max]

Not a good start for Tiger on holes everyone else is birdieing (2 and 3 at least)

Less than 1% of golfers have a major so big deal. I don't consider someone who chokes and chokes and then chokes some more an all time great. He got lucky with 4 majors thanks to rain and the soft greens,.

He can't even deliver now even with the soft greens at Augusta. Try raising up the bar when it comes to greatness lol

Yes not good at all. But he can make up for it by not bogeying 5 today and birdying 8, if he gets through the front 9 one under for the day, I'll be happy.

[mejmo]

Henrik was rolling his potato on the back nine! I've never been a big fan of his, but he was dialed in from distance again and again...

At least we know you aren’t concerned with perspective or reality. Rail on!

[Hawkeye77]

Tiger fans already losing it - aren’t there 30+ holes to go?

[bscinstnct]

Whoa, TF!

[Konklifer]

There are very low scores to be had. Tiger needs to make something happen here. Finau and Simpson on fire.

[Birdie pirate]

My wife just asked how Tyler Woods is doing

[legitimategolf]

Tiger got no answer for #5

[Jagpilotohio]

Tony 6 under through 8. Wow.

[Pent08]

Tiger's driver is not cooperating so far. According to his history, he'll need to have the lead after 54 holes to win. Better start hitting it closer.

[BobMorris]

Tiger seems to have a love affair going with that fairway bunker on 5.

[Hawkeye77]

> @legitimategolf said:

The number 6.

[Apathy_Overdose]

2 makable putts in on 17 and 18 yesterday to tie for the lead, not taking advantage of the easy 2nd and 3rd that everyone else is making birdies on to start his round today. Already 3 back right now and looking at a bogey on 5 to fall 4 back.

 

F this.

[Konklifer]

Kuch let’s a gosh darn it fly. Just no need for that kind of language on the hallowed grounds.

Enjoy the coverage, your lawyer ain’t working during The Masters.

Moving day for sure today.

lol stop overreacting, lots of holes to go

[Christosterone]

Koepka bogey at 1

[Apathy_Overdose]

Looks like that Wednesday scouting trip to check out the 5th hole last week did him a lot of good. How do you hit into the same bunker 3 days in a row?

[Birdie pirate]

Tony chance for 29

I can’t believe that’s not censored here

Nope

No majors in 11 years, no masters in 14 years, currently 4 shots back when he had a chance to run away with it yesterday. I think my reactions are perfectly appropriate for the situation.

 

It's not like Tiger has a rich history of coming back in majors.

[Cool Runnings]

This exactly why Tiger has to get his driver under control... terrible bogey really. That hole has his number so far this week.
