OT: Thursday at The Masters Open Thread

Submitted by asstastic on

With the first group already going in Augusta thought I'd start an open discussion. Notable group tee times:

Zach Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Cheng Jin - 9:26am

Jordan Spieth, Paul Casey, Bryson DeChambeau - 9:48am

Phil Mickelson, Marc Leishman, Henrik Stenson - 10:43am

Bubba Watson, Branden Grace, Ian Poulter - 12:44pm

(Odds Favorite) Jason Day, Matt Kuchar, Ernie Els - 1:06pm

Martin Kaymer, Bill Haas, Rory McIlroy - 2:01pm

 

Work productivity will be down a lot on my end today and tomorrow.

to show me this clip.  Dammit, I was having such a productive afternoon up 'til that point!  It was like there was a magnetic force around the hole, pushing the ball off course -- never even lipped one out, just plain missed it over and over.  Great way to start your first round of the tournament . . . .

used to use a long putter but I didn't think he ancored it.  He may have though because they were discussing the change on the Golf Channel after this took place.  You can tell this is far more than an isolated incident because he gets really frustrated and just stops trying after the bogey putt.

Totally going to screw his round up. Right off the bat, on the first hole.

Rickie with a snow man!  Ouch.  I like the young man and expect him to do well in his career.  But an 8?  Still haven't seen highlights or lowlights of it yet.  He must've went OB.
