2020 Masters Invitational champion is Dustin Johnson!

The stat that I am liking most from yesterday is this - Bryson and Larry Mize both shot 70. Bryson’s average driving distance was 334 yards. Larry Mize’s longest drive of the day was 266 yards.

Bryson does so much talking about his changes that I think it's starting to affect his actual execution. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him struggle today.

He is very candid,and from everything I've seen he's a great interview. But at some point I wonder if all the talking about every detail will get into his head. No other player is so open, and so exact about what they are doing. Most don't reveal anything. However as of now he does seem to handle it just fine. I'm a fan and pulling for him!

I don't know about you--but I could feel the pressure on him. Everyone was treating him as though he had the Master's won--and he just has to smash it. He said it himself--he felt tight--and his swing suffered. I think its amazing he shot -2 with how he struggled. It actually bodes well for him.

I haven't seen Tiger look so in control since....................last year's final round.

 

Despite hitting it everywhere, Bryson still shot -2. I expect something in the 60's today.

 

 

 

 

Im certainly not writing him off. I made it 4 truly bad tee shots, which is two too many for his style of play. Without doing anything else particularly well, I can see how he’d ‘expect’ a 68 out there.

im sure he won’t, but if I was the caddie I’d put that 3 wood in his hands a couple more times.

I honestly think that the likelihood of him blowing it miles of line with the 3 wood are just as high as the driver. Seems like the good ones are fine but when it goes wrong it really goes wrong just like the long drive guys. He got away, relatively speaking from some horrendous foul balls yesterday. It will be interesting to see if he does the same today and he gets so lucky again.

Cant say I watched it that closely, but didn’t see him in trouble with a baffy, and don’t really recall it in other tournaments either. His swing looks much tighter and more controlled with that than the driver, where he seems to fall over every time

Does anyone really think Paul casey can hang on and win this? I don't. Nice guy and everything but we've seen before he's not s closer ... Doesn't have that extra gear that ultimates winners have.

Honestly DJ is The one I’m watching right now. He scored while in neutral yesterday.  If he actually gets it in gear he’ll finish the first round in the lead I think.

I'm lying in hospital recovering from my hip procedure with the Masters live coverage on. Every time Tiger hits a bad shot I can press the bolus button and get a dose of happy drugs, it doesn't get any better than this!

[Imp]

Heh. Had the stream open ready to go and the video came back on when the resume play horns went off. The browser was in the background.... and then "horns". LOL

Away we go!

Get better. Hopefully it was for something planned and not a result of a "hey, watch this" moment. 😉 (but those make for better stories sometimes) 😉

Thanks, yep it was a hip arthroscopy to repair a torn labrum, take 8mm of bone off the femoral head and lengthen the iliopsoas tendon.

Yesterday I watched all day without commentary and it was glorious. Today I have commentary and can't figure how to turn it off. Any ideas gentlemen?

You know it's a strange Masters when Charley Hoffman isn't leading on Thursday.

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday.  He's not even playing this time 😞

Rory does this so often in majors these days. Starts off too hyped up, has a bad start and then makes mistake after mistake trying to force things.

[BlackDiamondPar5]

As usual the Masters.com site has outdone every other event site.

What channel do you guys like most on the Masters.com app?

I like all the channels but I tend to gravitate mostly to Amen Corner and Feature Group.  How about you?

Amen Corner for sure, then 15/16.

[Shriner]

Have never seen Rory hit a driver that bad as he did on #13.  Completely out of sorts...

Usually featured group but today it's amen because I can't listen to Michelle Wie commentate on Billy Horschel

Yep, but this feels worse.  It is the 1st round with no spectators so there shouldn't be the nerves he had in the final round in 2011.

Man, terrible break for Adam Scott on 15. Has to drop after hitting his 2nd in the water, then his pitch shot hits the pin and goes back into the drink again.

Awful, are there low COR flags out there that could be used? It's horrible seeing a great shot getting punished like that.

[TheMoneyShot]

Terrible break for Adam. Has Adam Scott put on some weight or is it the clothes he is wearing?
