2022 Masters

[Freddy Linn]

Niemann is smoking the ball.

 

[Bergs]

Holy shit, Tiger.

 

[Dogman]

Tiger's 2nd on 14 from the needles with one window was so fucking good. Just off the back but 40 or so feet from the pin.

 

[johnmd20]

Niemann is smoking the ball.

He is a slight man and then just obliterates the ball.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

That was a vintage Tiger Woods recovery shot from the pine needles. He took a rip at it too. Seemed to react like he knows he has that gear but doesn't have many of those in him.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Short game isn’t what I thought would be causing Tiger issues.

 

[johnmd20]

You hate to see DeChamblees playing poorly.

 

[voidfunkt]

Short game isn’t what I thought would be causing Tiger issues.

Im sure he is a little rusty. He's doing remarkably well for a guy six months ago a lot of people thought would never play competitively again.

 

[Ale Xander]

And we got a birdie on the 7th
(IM)

 

[TFP]

He got up and down on 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11. With all different types of shots required. His short game has saved him today.

 

[joe dokes]

Wayback machine...Tiger tied with Langer.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Tiger might have a problem with the Molinari tree.

 

[Ale Xander]

Tiger showing a bit of ‘tude with the spectators

 

[Ale Xander]

Pretty good shot

 

[Ale Xander]

Cameron on fire

 

[joe dokes]

Spieth looks a lot thinner than I remember.

 

[Phragle]

Smith is going to run away with it

 

[Average Reds]

Cameron on fire

-8 since the opening hole. Absolutely sizzling.

 

[johnmd20]

It is worth noting that first round leaders rarely win the Masters. Only twice since 2000, Spiethin 2015 and Trevor Immelman in 2008.

 

[TimNJsoxfan]

Finally made a putt!!

 

[johnmd20]

That was hot. I yelled.

 

[Dogman]

Nice roll on 16 for Tiger to get into red.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

This is going to be a 5 hour round.

 

[cshea]

Is Dottie on the course? I thought they didn't allow the walking broadcasters.

 

[TFP]

Is Dottie on the course? I thought they didn't allow the walking broadcasters.

Yeah she's out there. Saw her on 13 in advance of their tee shots.

Also - these rounds are always slow. They have a very limited field so it's fine. But these are really tricky greens that take a long time to play, plus there are a bunch of guys shooting high scores out there too (the past champs, Ams, etc). This is normal.

 

[TFP]

Berger himself is really slow, especially his putting routine.

Also - this

 

[Average Reds]

The DeChambeau “How did that ball not go where I wanted it to?” face is the best.

 

[Average Reds]

That was a pretty horrible drive for Tiger. Not a good way to end the day.

 

[joe dokes]

That was a pretty horrible drive for Tiger. Not a good way to end the day.

Every time he's hit a bad shot so far, it's ended up in a salvageable spot. (like not right behind a tree, etc.).

 

[johnmd20]

Bryson, "This course is a Par 67 for me."

Also Bryson, "Cards a 76."

Tough finish for Cam Smith.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Watching Oosthuizen's round you would think he would be way worse than +3 right now.

This is gold.

he's pretty unflappable.

Congrats to me on a properly executed jinx

 

[cshea]

The man broke par. Unbelievable.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

'Tiger is back and he's back BIG!' - Don Orsillo, probably.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

-1 is pretty, pretty, pretty good.

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s one impressive security force for golf
2 cops even

 

[cshea]

Bryson shot +8 to Bryson par

 

[voidfunkt]

Bryson shot +8 to Bryson par

Time for him to cash in on that Saudi tour. He may have destroyed his body and game in the pursuit of distance.

The obsession with the long drive crap too.

 

[cshea]

Just noticed Scottie's shirt has the TW logo on the back. Don't think I've seen a player wear another players logo before? Not to mention he's world #1

 

[Freddy Linn]

Varner almost makes a deuce from the pine straw on 13.

 

[cshea]

Didn't know "shank" was prohibited vernacular at Augusta.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

The post-Tiger silence in this thread is deafening. (Quite justifiably, in large part - it's not been the most thrilling afternoon I can remember - but man, Tiger really is the straw that stirs the drink. Still.)

I'm trying to not jinx Rory's decent start.

It's also 6 on the east coast so lots of people leaving work / commuting / dealing with dinner / etc

I suspect the thread will be pretty busy this time tomorrow...

Spieth's swing rehearsal is quite ugly looking.

Spieth's swing rehearsal is quite ugly looking.

It is brutal, agreed.
