90%. Another 67, what I rate his game on Saturday, might be good. He makes a couple more putts inside 15' and gets up to 95%, he'll be tough to beat.

Cmon TW, lets rest the great putt at Torrey in 2008 for the USO.. Gotta get this one done!

[A.Princey]

Assuming Jack is 'absolutely sure' his record of 18 is safe, how many folks here think Jack is secretly rooting against Tiger tomorrow???? Or, do you think he may possibly welcome it, genuinely excited at the site of him getting to 15, given all that he's been through?

 

I don't think I could honestly say that either sentiment is more likely than the other, but I know in future interviews the more supportive one is guaranteed to reveal itself, genuine or not....

[Apathy_Overdose]

It'll come down to the putter for Tiger. He didn't have too many short makable putts today, missed on 8, made on 13, made on 16. If he can have a day with less than 30 putts then he'll have a very good chance.

 

Really needs to birdie 2, and likely 3 to apply the pressure. Molinari is playing too well to shoot anything less than 70, and it's hilarious how there's hardly any mention of the guy who has won 3 out of the last 6 majors on this thread.

Probably pretty high up there. Brook and Molinari both have dealt with Tiger and the Tiger effect in a major recently, probably the two worst guys for him to be competing against. Brooks has the chip on his shoulder and doesnt care attitude, Moli is unflappable and just keeps going. If it were pretty much any other pair Id think there is some wiggle room for Tiger, not with those two.

[The winner]

I would really like someone from the 4 or 5 behind group to win it...love many of the players there. Any of them shoot a 64 or 65 they could do it. First 4 not my cup of tea really. Koepka and Molinari are dull and I can't imagine kids storming the ropes for a signature. Cannot stand Tiger Woods and his mere presence at the Masters have spoilt it a bit for me. I hope they can find a blonde prositute in Georgia, and have her knocking on his door before tee off Sunday.

I cant say much about Finau, but his round yesterday and his somewhat exotic look, he's ok and if nobody else moves will get my vote. So here's to hoping Augusta delivers a spectacular round from behind, in particular from a South African or sadly, an Englishman (Poulter). Too many Yanks on that leaderboard. If all else fails give it to Italy.

 

[Apathy_Overdose]

Does anyone know which dark web site I can visit to make an arrangement to hire that sliding security guy to take out Brooks and Molinari?

 

Bitcoins up for grab as finders fee.

[The winner]

Need a -4 from anybody in T7, before they reach the farthest reach of the Augusta National course down in the Amen Corner where Rae's Creek intersects the 13th.

May I ask where the inference about Jack being "absolutely sure" came from? Ive seen interviews in the past within the last few years where Jack is very supportive of Tiger passing him and believes it can still happen.

I would suggest the opposite sentiment. Jack is publicly supporting Tiger but deep down he probably wants to hold on to that record!

Jeff Knox.

 

Not bad to shoot 74.

Poor old Jeff won't get to play today because of the schedule change - always interesting to see what he shoots.

[elwhippy]

Despite lengthening the course again the scoring is very low. On a positive it is great to see so many top players in contention but the course is not scaring the younger players as much as it did say 20 years ago. Other major venue tracks are way tougher than Augusta despite the best efforts of the commentators saying it is super tough. As for a winner I cannot see past Francesco. He is a class act.

[Frostfield]

Hope Tiger wins but will be shocked if he actually pulls it off.

[BeautifulNice]

Too many loose shots from Tiger as compared to Francesco over the last few days. With the wind up, Frankie stands a better chance than TW. A Tiger win would be exhilarating, but he's never come from behind (little known fact, like the size of Casey's forearms) and unlikely to do it today. I really like Molinari. Simple repeatable swing, made himself into a great putter, and unflappable at the Open and Ryder Cup. If he doesn't have a mental breakdown, going to be tough to catch. If TW can't pull it off, I'd like to see Moli take it. Class act.

 

That said, all the stats at this point are meaningless. How a guy feels mentally and physically when he wakes up Sunday morning is just as likely to determine performance, and that's impossible to quantify/predict. What if Tiger wakes up with a stiff neck or back? Or Moli wakes up afraid? Or Brooks wakes up feeling unbeatable? Just as likely Webb or Finau or Ian James Poulter wins this thing as Frankie or Tiger. Whoever wins, should be an awesome day of golf! Can't wait.

The soft conditions has helped with the low scoring.

 

Approach shots pretty much stop where they land.

Comfortably the least interesting thing about the entire tournament.

Going to be a great day at Augusta. Probability that TW wins? Idk. But really enjoy seeing him in contention and hearing that roar from the fans. I appreciate the fact that the course is playing easier this week than it otherwise would with dry conditions....but all the players can do is play what’s in front of them. Love the Masters!!!

[OldTomMorris]

If Webb Simpson wins I'm sure it will be well received here.

[Lagavulin62]

Gm. Hopefully we see a Tiger 15th. If not still looking for a good final round. : )

[Whiskey_fire]

I’m going to predict tiger gets very cautious and lays way back off the tee, he will finish with a even par round. I’m a big tiger fan but his nerves are shot I think when it comes to staying aggressive. Hope I’m wrong but don’t think I am. Hope tony wins over frankincense.

Sip on the hateraide. Going to need a step ladder to climb down off that high horse in a few hours.

 

Loads of stereotype mention there. Wtf ?

[FIRs&GIRs&3-Putts]

No outdoor green jacket ceremony will take place today due to the weather, presumably, Bulter Cabin will still go on.

[Holy Moses]

What’s Tiger’s pre-round prep? Works out for an hour, runs 3 miles, plays call of Duty for 45 minutes, activates glutes, gets his feels, back massage, irons his mock turtleneck, and drinks a Monster?

One of the dumbest posts I've heard this year. And that's saying something.

[00steven]

Calling it, I expect Olsen, Thomas, and Kuchar to make a run today.

I'm sure there are also some bed-based shenanigans as well... or at least there used to be. Is his GF here this week?

[fowlerscousin]

Yes, everyone is saying its all resting on Tigers putter today. The tiger affect is in full mode because you can expect someone like Molinari to possibly crack under the pressure.

If Tiger makes 100% of his putts within 6 feet, he wins this thing.

Someone spit in your coffee? This will be one of the greatest Masters ending in my 56 years of life. This is unreal how many can win. I don’t see a problem with anyone within 6 strokes winning. I will say this. Whoever dons the jacket will have won. There will not be any gifts this morning. Frankie could shoot 69 and still lose. It’s that tough. As for Tiger, lets hope he can use some wisdom

from Jack, Sunday start with 2 strokes off the lead. Tiger may not win but he WILL charge. No safe play after the first few holes.
