OT: Masters Sunday

Submitted by VCavman24 on April 9th, 2023 at 4:51 PM

After horrible weather yesterday in Augusta, today is sunny and picturesque.  Koepka has bogeyed twice, allowing Rahm to take the lead with ten holes remaining.

Who do you think will wear the green jacket?

Also very oddly, the leaderboard graphic doesn't show the hole each player is on.  Anyone know why this is?  I don't think I've ever seen that before when watching golf.

Rahm is going to be hard to beat at this point.  He's playing well and Koepka seems to have lost his mojo from the first two rounds.  He's made at least two horrible drives in the front nine.

I bet golf every week.  I’m on a golf betting podcast.  Golf betting is amazing and I love it.  I just can’t bring myself down to the”tiger prices” on Rahm, scheffler, and Rory.  If I’m betting 7-1 on Rahm and then 3-4 others it’s basically an insurance policy and not the most +EV bet.  But I’m usually a 5-6 man card so my style doesn’t lend itself to betting favorites if that makes sense. 
 

I think brooks was screwed from the get go today because he’s a quick player. And so is rahm, but unlike rahm, brooks has been playing on LIV where you’re not used to the 5+ hour rounds where as Rahm was used to waiting.  I’m glad Rahm won, he’s an easy guy to cheer for.

I like Rahm’s chances.  And, how he played on Saturday morning - in very challenging conditions, illustrated just how solid his game is.

The fairways seem to be drying a bit.  I’m very interested to see how the final groups play 13 and 15 - and who will be in position to go for the greens in two.

Glad to see Jon Rahm win, he's a good guy.  I've volunteered at PGA tournaments at Torrey Pines, and I've seen Jon tell the kids that he'll stay there signing autographs as long as it takes until he signs for all of them and them proceed to stay there signing until its done.

In hindsight, Augusta played almost as tough as it can on Sunday afternoon.  About 1/3 of the field played below par - but, very few “super low” scores.

it was enjoyable to watch, though - by 15, it seemed like Rahm had a nearly insurmountable lead.

I thought that Cantlay or Hovland would have gone lower and pressure the leaders.
