That's the thing, though, there is no "going for it." It is not a difficult pin. If you push it a bit, you have a 6 foot par putt. It is just not a difficult golf shot. It is a difficult shot under Masters pressure only.

 

I felt too that Xander had the best possible alignment of holes to catch him.  If you're down 2 shots with 3 to play the ideal scenario is three par 4s...the 2nd best is a 3 and two 4s.  You never want a 5 in there because even though you could make an eagle or birdie so can your opponent.  Par 4s are the easiest by far to pick up strokes with just one mistake

Without the triple on 16 and all the other bogies, Xander would have won this.

Shows that it happens to everyone...weekend hacker to top-tier pro. It wasn't a hard shot even for a high handicapper and yet into the water it went. I tend to hit pull hooks with my irons when I get nervous too...and Xander was nervous as heck.

yeah , but if HK had shot a 54, he'd have won even easier.

Nice tee shot on 18 from HM.

I think everyone here would agree that they would’ve preferred seeing Bryson DeChambeCau win.

 

Ok, gotta run. Later!

Can we pony up for an interpreter so we don't have to hear Bryson talk anymore? Even if he doesn't want one?

 

Announcer: Bryson, tell us about your round?

 

Interpreter: (Total silence)

 

Bryson: (Uncomfortably waiting)

 

Announcer: Well, back to the action ...

Hideki striping his last two drives is pretty clutch.

[Jay28]

On to the next major, hoping it's a LOT better.

If you look up, you might be able to see my joke going over your head.

Sometimes the order of play is a huge factor.  I don't know about Hideki if he has to go first on 16.  I think Xander and maybe his caddie made the call to go for it and put a ton of pressure on Hideki to have to make a huge shot.

 

Xander said to himself "I'm gonna knock this to 2' and he'll be rattled enough to bogey. I'll be tied with 2 to play."

On head to head Masters finishes, yes I did.

 

I loved watching Trevino play, but Xander's already got better finishes at Augusta than Lee ever did.

Did Xander ever have to change his shoes in the parking lot?

Then mid-swing he thought “I...am Xander Schauffele.”

IIRC, Lee chose to change shoes in the parking lot.

You added so much to this chat, can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Lee never had to, he just chose to, as he did it to make a statement.   But I am sure he never felt comfortable there.

Poor Scott has had to live with that his whole life.

Thanks.

Appropriate finish - bogie on 18

[bladehunter]

Glad to see Hideki hold on.   Very deserving Champion.

Live look in

[m d g]

To be fair to XS on 15, he had to really hook it around the trees...

No he didn't.

If you think you're teaching me something you're wrong. You brought Lee into this, not me. Lee never liked playing there for a lot of reasons. A big one was he hit the ball low and the course didn't fit his game.

 

Xander is better than Lee in the Masters. Thank you good night.
