The 2018 Masters Tournament
- Thread starter Conigliaro's Potential
- Start date
Maybe 12 will be something that spooks him, but, yeah, he is insane here. This is his 5th time playing the place, been in the final 2 groups on the weekend the previous 4 times and here is leading on Thursday.
Tomorrow’s featured groups:
9:14: Couples, Li, Niemann
10:31: Mickelson, Fowler, Kuchar
1:27: Tiger, Leishman, Fleetwood
2:00: Reed, Hoffman, Hadwin

Fred Couples is still throwing darts out there, after all these years. And it's always fun to watch.
It’s part of their desire to grow the game. They are featuring a top player in the world from China, and the worlds top amateur who is from Chile.
I'd certainly enjoy watching Spieth in the featured group. Way more than an amateur, even if watching Freddie is cool.
I would have liked Rory in a featured group today. He was where I put all my betting money in pools this week, so a bit selfish wish.
I, too, love watching him play. He's awesome. But a lot of people hate him for some reason.
Not for nothing, because I shouldn't care, but Billy Horschel's pants are just horrendous and they are always horrendous and seeing him at +9 on Amen Corner makes me really happy.
Hate is a bit strong. I think some of the reason people don't like following him is that he doesn't have any sort of dominant skill. He's a very talented player who is also an exceptional grinder who wears down the course and the competition, but doesn't excite anyone.
Regardless, I like the kid and wish we were watching him.
Spieth’s ball striking/iron play is pretty dominant. He is known more as a putter, but I think a lot of his success is due to ball striking and course management more than putting. But those things are not stand out skills that jump off the screen like DJ hitting a 370 yard drive.
Seems like a lot of people dislike him. Spieth is a dominant iron player and putter, he's just not DJ off the tee. But he's also won 3 majors and he's 24 years old and he's leading in the Masters approximately 50% of the round he's played there. He's awesome.
If Kuchar had not pushed back there, the rules official would have had him take an action in violation of the rules.
How do they not have rules officials who actually know the rules?

I know everyone is pining for the Spieth group, but Phil, Fowler, Kuchar is not a bad alternative.
Second edit: Nope - I actually did I lose the feed. They just restarted me at the first hole, which is annoying. Switched over to the CBS feed and it was fine.
Anyone else having this issue?

I’d rather watch Rory than the Spieth group. More compelling storyline there, with a bonus that you are never far away from complete Rahm meltdown.
If Round 2 were to end right now, only nine golfers would miss the cut (thanks to the 10-shot rule). That's insane.
It's an incredible group to watch. The Couples, Amateur, Li group, on the other hand, is kind of a garbage fire.
