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.

Scott Fawcett and Connor T. Lewis of the Talking Golf History Podcast have a bet for a few hundred to see if Mize can be within 2.5 strokes of Bryson today. We shall see.

Didn't think I'd get into it as much, but after yesterday decided to take the day off - wife off to work = make my own breakfast! No strawberries in a breakfast at Augusta!

Sports Business Daily is reporting that CBS would not cut into its NFL coverage on Sunday if that were to happen, and the Masters would instead be moved to ABC with CBS announcers and production crew. Additionally, CBS Sports Network, CBSSports.com and Masters.com also would carry live coverage.

With that said, it is still likely the tournament ends in time. The schedule was built with an hour space before the start of the 4 p.m. NFL games. They are Bills-Cardinals, Broncos-Raiders and Chargers-Dolphins.

“We do have

Does the Masters care or have a say if it moves to ABC for the last few hours should they need to? If Tiger or Phil is winning they are really going to go to ABC, huh?

Would be a good way for CBS to not have the broadcast ever again. 
 

on a year to year contract, they better tread lightly

Wow, just dumped one in the water. And, after this round he has to go right back out and play again...he won't have an afternoon or next morning to work on his swing. 

 

He’ll have the whole weekend

Rory should start thinking about his life post golf

I am pretty sure he already did in 2015, now he is our golden journeyman.

I love watching JT's short game at the moment, he's just so ridiculously good around the greens.

don't know ... nfl is ratings king, that's for sure, but missing 20 minutes of a tv game, which might be 5 minutes of game time or 20 seconds of actual playing time, seems to be a small price to pay ...

Love how Faldo keeps hammering home the equipment issues. Hope he’s right and something is coming, need to return the game to the most skilled.

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

 

Thought it would be Kokrak for a while, instead, with 8 MCs this year..

rory mcilroy, folks ... dumping it 20 yards left of the hole at 16, right into the water ... how does a pro do that? 

 

Corey Pavin - '86 Masters!  Always surprising to see balls in there, but they manage to find a way.

All part of the deal for this Masters, not really something I think CBS is shaking in its boots about after all these decades.

Jeff Knox! Bets on how many he beats?

[tiderider]

knox again playing as a marker ... that is one sweet gig ... 

[Ironman_32]

Don't want to say its unfair...but this is stuff they talk about "luck of the draw"...look at Phil, just finished his 1st, 2nd round at 9:52. Weather delay, smaller day light window...could be one of those British Open type things where it rains thursday afternoon/friday morning, and that draw gets killed

Rory.  Going down Jordan Spieth road.  Why ?  
 

 they said earlier he’s working on a fade.  Lol.  Hookers don’t see  a real fade.  I’m sorry. It just doesn’t usually work. Frustrating to watch him waste his talent. Why can’t a guy that’s as good as him Control a short iron consistently?

He’s trying to fuel 90s drab, loose-fitting clothing with natural tones. Don’t know why. We all know he still has the body of an adonis.

So my wife reminds me - "he's so handsome" . . . .

[GolfTurkey]

why does everyone seem to working on playing a fade, even Rory, I thought Augusta was meant to favour a RH's draw?

[Sean2]

Paul Casey doesn't tee off until 2:19. Doesn't look like the second round will be completed either.

Nice high fades work into those greens, and find fairways? Rory still will play draws.
