Lion Kim Masters Update

Submitted by Wolverine In Exile on

Quick Lion Kim update from the last of the practice days at The Masters...

Par 3 competition is the highlight today. Lion finished T-30 right now with E after 9 holes of competition. Haven't seen any highlights of his outfit for today. Stat: No Par 3 contest winner has ever won the Masters. So Lion's got that going for him, which is nice. Wish he'd be sporting a Hagelin hockey jersey for the Par 3 but whatever. Stodgy Augusta.

And BTW- does anyone else think Ryo Ishikawa looks like a drunk anime artist picked out his clothes? Jeebus the light blue / pink / gray combo is not happening for me.

I say yes.

Taking a bad photo at Augusta is like taking a bad picture of Megan Fox.

I never knew, until seeing it on that scoreboard, that Matt Kuchar, like Lion, grew up in Lake Mary, Florida.  Nice for the two of them to be able to play a practice round together.
