2019 Masters
- Thread starter TFP
- Start date
Is that really cruel as a par 4? Seems you can just aim for the left side of the green off the tee to give yourself a long eagle opportunity or if they opt for the fairway it's a pitching wedge with a ton of backspin in the middle of the right side of the green.
Just watched the tee shots. That's always pretty good and they didn't drag it out too much this year, which makes it all the more special.
Here’s some info on the updates to their website/app. It’s not live, but they will have “virtually every shot from every player” available.
Their TV windows are annoying but they do streaming better than anyone else.

7 tournaments so far this year for Spieth. His best finish is 30th. That's quite horrendous. I'm surprised his odds aren't worse but Spieth does have the best first 20 rounds at Augusta in the history of the Masters. So obviously he's had some success there. One thing that helps him is that you can be sloppy off the tee and still score. Spieth is sloppy.
10am, they have not shown a single shot of live golf on any of the apps. But I have seen the ceremonial tee shot 12 times already, so I've got that going for me.
Spieth’s been a disaster but he’s in a “don’t rule him out at Augusta until he proves otherwise” category for me, which is why I said the 20-1 could be as good a price on him here as you’ll get. If he has a good week here despite being a basket case, he’ll be a favorite pretty much every year going forward.
I had a buddy out in vegas throw some money randomly on a few guys.
Kizzire - 500/1
Hideki - 30/1
Kisner - 60/1
Molinari - 20/1
Rham - 20/1
Wise - 250/1
Will be an even more fun weekend if one is in the hunt on Sunday.

To your point, which I agree with, he admittedly played awful in 2016 and was leading at the turn on Sunday. He flew in his swing coach that Saturday night because of how poorly he was hitting the ball that week. He can definitely get around Augusta without his A game. The problem was that his miss all week (and his whole life) is short right. And on Sunday on 12 that's the one miss you can't have. He said his mistake there wasn't the shot he hit, it was not overcorrecting enough for the short right miss like he knows he should have.
I'll second chsea's recommendation to listen to his interview on No Laying Up. It's a really interesting look into his thought process and how analytical he is, sometimes to a fault. He goes through exactly what happened to his swing and why, how things worked in the past and why he got away from it, and how he's doing now. Very illuminating overall.

I just wished it didn't show the result on the virtual course before showing the actual shot.

Yes the app has it too. It’s incredible. When the Masters do something right, they really do it right.
That's awesome, gonna be bookmarking this one specifically... got a 50/1 on Stenson a couple months back (60/1 last I checked though, doh)
10" of snow and 50 mph wind gust in the Twin Cities today... but hot damn it is officially spring!!
I heard something this morning (not sure if I heard it correct) that a large number of recent Masters winners have been in the top 10 after the first day. It's so important to get off to a good start.
I think Tiger was the last time someone outside the top 10 after day 1 won it. Back in like 2001 or something.
No kidding, even with a solid second shot you're looking at 40' over a ridge half the time
That missed par put for Tiger reminded me an awful lot of all of the missed, makeable putts at last year's PGA. He used to nail those every time.
Corey Conners, who Monday qualified to the Valero last week and then won to get his Masters invite, goes birdie, birdie, eagle on 13-15 to get to -3.
Tiger threw his club. So he's at that point now. Those missed putts, I'm pretty sure, contributed to the rage.
