2022 Masters
- Thread starter cshea
- Start date
Quite. Rory and Spieth are so clearly in their own heads at the moment - it's really depressing.
Good first day leaderboard. Tomorrow the broadcast keeps saying the wind is coming in the afternoon, so the guys who finished late today may have the advantage. Im, DJ.
Surprised JT had a 76 but I don't think I saw any shot of his all day.

He was -2 on the 11th tee and and shot 75. He was my pick coming into the week and just a brutal back 9 for him.
This thread & replies are going to be a fun follow. A benefit of recording every shot. Some great content that don’t get aired on the broadcast.
Hughes shank and Wolff putting from the bunker might win the day.

The two guys playing with Langer both blasted their second shots into the observation stand on 5. Excellent.
"Henley, the Georgia native who always seems to play well at Augusta" just buried deep into the trees to the right of the green on 4.
We'll see what some of the early guys do in better conditions, but I think tougher conditions will help Tiger stay in it. Harder it gets the more course management plays a role and nobody knows this place better than him. I think it'd be more difficult for him to hang in it if this ended up as a race to -15. Obviously his body is the biggest question, but if it gets US Open-ish, he might be in business.
The announcers are at their worst when they get into the "well he grew up nearby so he'll play well here" psycho-babble.
In fairness, Henley does have a good record. 5 appearances, 4 made cuts, 3 top 25's. For a middle of the road PGA Tour player that's pretty solid at Augusta.
Also in fairness, I'd prefer the announcers talk half as much (and that goes for all sports).
I used to watch a bit more of the European Tour and their announcers are wonderful. They shut up and let what you're seeing breathe. Maybe it's an American sports broadcast problem. I throw on Premier League on weekends and those announcers also manage to not talk constantly. It's really great.
Shouldn’t this benefit the Europeans who are more accustomed to these conditions? There has to be data in heavy winds somewhere.
You knew as soon as they said that that he would hit it badly. It reminded me of when the announcer talks about how good of a foul shooter the player is and then he clanks it off the rim.
If anyone hasn’t yet downloaded The Masters App it is 10x better than the PGA one. Far and away the best golf app I’ve seen and on like 7 second delay opposed to 2-hole delay.
ESPN+ has the least amount of delay but the Masters app on the iPad is definitely excellent.
DJ: *pulls 3-wood and still throws it into the trees.*
Do you think they have the same "I could have done that with a driver and been 30+ yards further" thought I have when I try to play a safe shot off the tee?

ESPN+ announcers talked about this yesterday when Scheffler yanked his iron off the tee on ...4(?) . They mentioned how Arnie used to say that Driver was usually the best play at Augusta because even a miss would keave you closer to the green (paraphrasing).
Thanks. I thought at one point there was a 10-shot rule.
I guess that is why DJ is not hitting driver.
Is that Jeff Knox's music I hear? (I can't imagine a 2 between 3's, or reshuffling groups)
Cam and Bryson played as a 2 ball yesterday between groups of 3 when Casey WD.
Sure but someone like Casey, if he didn’t WD, has a ton more experience in these conditions than a non-Floridian American. To your point, I don’t know if there are many who would qualify as having an advantage.
The wind is going to make it a slow round anyway. DJ's group is almost 3 hours in and they're just reaching the 10th green.
Like wind is some obscure thing that only happens in Scotland and Ireland?
I don't get it. These guys are professional golfers and have all played 5000 rounds in their lives. They most likely have bounced up against the concept of wind.
It’s a great smart TV app too. If you have a 4K television, the multicast takes advantage of your full resolution.
Wow hostile group. Medvedev is a professional tennis player and can’t play on clay or in humid conditions. Only asking if heavy wind favored certain type players. I would imagine it would but people here saying it doesn’t.
In addition, the ESPN+ Apple TV app multicast is the single best golf watching experience possible. Can get 4 feeds going at once, you just flip to highlight which one you want audio from, and then if you want to go full screen it’s just a click. Can’t be beat.
Ball strikers and guys who can flight it do better in the wind. Guys who launch it high tend to struggle.
