Super mullet too. I know how much you love the Aussie mullet trend

I love how he's not a Tiger clone, ripped etc. Looks like a regular fella (albeit from 1980) from the club. Shame about his double on 18 - pretty remarkable to DB both 1 and 18 and still shoot 68. He makes so many birdies it's nuts. Think he's the only guy ever to shoot 4 rounds in the 60s at the Masters.

Tough day yesterday!

Can't see Scheffler throwing it away from here. I thought he couldn't win after winning 3 of his last 5. Unsustainable, I thought. He's absolutely on fire.

It’s half way in the Masters - 5 shot lead is nothing…… he’s looked good but all to play for still. I’ll have to throw a few quid on Lowry now

Anything could happen but I don't think anyone's lost the Masters from 5 in front with 36 to go. Doesn't happen too often though - Spieth was the last to have a 5 shot lead at this stage in 2015. Smith still has a squeak imo.

Really - I’d have thought there were a few - McIlroy blew a huge lead, Speith, Norman and more. I still fancy DJ

Someone said it on TV last night so I assumed the collapses you mention are framed as final round blow ups - eg Rory led by 4 going into the final round, Norman led by 6 after 54, etc - and specifically everyone at the 36 hole point with a 5 shot lead or better has gone on to win.

Ah ok still, there is a first time for everything

That is exactly why you will see it

He's ****ed a potentially great weekend, could have been anyones.

[wiw]

Watching in America and the coverage is embarrassing. If you didn't know better, you'd think Woods was the only guy playing. They couldn't crawl further up his arse if they tried

[Liverpool]

Thursday/Friday coverage has been surprisingly good here. Seems Augusta are allowing a lot more shots to be shown.

Less scenic views with music, interviews, inane chat and pretty much wall to wall golf on the red button.

[Irishnev]

Haha yeah. Early days and a big ask to win the Players and this (only Tiger's done it) but I suspect he's not going anywhere.

He covered the bet - should’ve gone each way on the Irish McIlroy had two chip ins and a monster putt, Lowry had 7 birdies but also a triple! Scotty S just carefully made his way round…….

Quite enjoyable to watch them squirm.
