It's The Masters, so it deserves it's own thread.

Mike Weir is +5 through 8. Poor guy.

My favourite is Speith. That guy has been lights out lately.
 
Re: The Masters

Mike Weir is a great example of why I'd rather have one huge moment (ie have the Leafs win one cup), even if it's followed up by awfulness, than have a consistently good but not great team/individual to cheer for. His masters win >>>>

I'd rather be a Rory McIlroy, and have both, but to each his own.
 
Re: The Masters

Wish my dad was still around for this....he was the only guy I could talk golf with, im not a big golf guy but I like the majors.

Oh sure. I'm speaking as a fan. The topic of "would you rather be the Sharks or the Canes" come up around here once in a while. I'd rather watch a team win something and suck for a decade+ vs be good but never good enough.

Of course, we all wished we could cheer for a dynasty otherwise.
 
Re: The Masters

Awesome round from Speith. Only one wee blemish. Hard to resist watching this at the office today.

A 73 doesn't sink Woods. He'll come around eventually (not necessarily in this tournament though). He's just too good not to have a flourish before he's too old.
 
Re: The Masters

Yeah, in a sport where Nicklaus won a Masters at 46, Tom Watson was a single putt away from winning a major at 59.....and in which Ernie Els is only a couple strokes back at 45 years old.

Tiger probably isn't done at 39.
 
Re: The Masters

The problem with Tiger isn't his game, it's his body. I'm not sure his body, specifically his back will hold up.
 
Re: The Masters

That 9 iron from behind the tree he hit today was mental. I hope his doctor gave him shit for it.

I take it you don't play?

Golf is tremendously hard on the body. Wrists, elbows, back, knees...all under pressure and torque. Especially for guys driving the ball 300 yards.

played a big when I was younger, but by no means was ever an avid golfer.

can't really think of a sport that's any easier on your body than golf though.
