OT- The Masters
Sunday at the Masters is always one of my favorite sports viewing occasions of the year, and this is shaping up to be a really fun final round. I think Speith holds on, 16 under after 3 is truly unreal at Augusta. The best score ever in this tournament was Tiger at -18 in 1997, so Speith has a real chance to make some history this afternoon. It'll be interesting to see if Phil makes a bit of a run today as well.

Tiger is tied for sixth at the moment, if I remember the standings - which recently updated on my laptop - correctly. Considering recent struggles, that's a decent showing and perhaps a sign that he's finding something he hasn't had in a while. Time will tell, I suppose. The OP is right though - Masters Sunday is usually an entertaining watch.

I think Speith can be the next Tiger Woods. He has golfed really well on the PGA tour and now is winning the Masters by four strokes. He's going to be a very good golfer.
Agreed, no need to give him the Tiger Woods' "Legends Jersey" and jinx him.
Jeez, Speith birdies the first. The guy is so good.
Dustin Johnson grounded his club in the bunker. All players knew that but he did it anyways. Unfortunate yes, but the onus is on the player to use your head. And the rules official did not say he could ground his club.

All dirt (AKA waste area) was ruled bunker for that week. Dustin is not the sharpest tool.

This is my favorite sports day of the year. Gotta beer, cigar, and actually have weather that allows me to fire up the grill. Ahhhh
I agree with Happy Gilmore on the masters. "Gold Jacket, green jacket... Who gives a shit?"
Will not watch until Lion Kim is on the leaderboard.
Rose has birdied 6 of his last 7 holes!

Jordan Speith is an incredible talent and I love watching him play, but we'll what happens once he gets to hole 11.
and as happy as I would be to see him stage a real revival--make a run for Nicklaus's record--and happy as I will be just to see him quiet the haters (despite not being that great a guy), I still find it a bit much that the media is so obsessed with him (CBS Sports: How Tiger Can Still Win It, Etc.) when he's ten holes back. . .
Guess he sells a lot of gear?
There have only been 3-4 golfers in the history of the game with the same abilities as Tiger and when they were on or at an event people watched them as well.
Exactly. I watch as much of the majors as possible every year regardless if Tiger is playing. Despite what the guy above thinks, the PGA did exist before Tiger and will certainly continue after he's done. While Tiger certainly broadened the fanbase of golf, it will always have a loyal following. The Masters has always been one of the, if not the most, difficult ticket in all of sports to get ahold of.
I'm not anti-Tiger, but more of a Phil fan. I just think the PGA and the media that covers it needs to move away from being Tiger-centric. He's just not consistent anymore and seems incapable of staying healthy throughout an entire season. Frankly, they shouldn't rely on Tiger to keep golf interesting for the masses. The depth of good and interesting players is better than its ever been. Guys like Bubba, Rickie Fowler, Rory, and obviously Spieth are all very young and capable of providing great and interesting golf for the next 10+ years. I'm not saying ignore Tiger, but treat him as he is - an aging superstar whose working his game back while a wave a young talent takes over the golf scene.
