The 2018 Masters Tournament
- Thread starter Conigliaro's Potential
- Start date
And Fleetwood could shoot a 63 with two more birdies at 17 and 18 - he's already on a streak of five in a row.
Reed has surprised me. We know he's got what it takes, and he's played well in big events like the Ryder Cup, but this is another level for him we haven't seen. Total control off the tee, and he's blitzing the field with his putting numbers.
It's almost not an exaggeration to say that the top 20 golfers in the world are the top 20 on the current Masters leaderboard. Cameron Smith is almost the only golfer of that lot that I wouldn't say belongs in his present company. It really is something...although the drama will be helped if Reed starts coming back to the pack a bit.
He better have a marker, otherwise who knows how low a score he'll give himself.
And now the weather hits. And it looks like it will have an impact on anyone on the course.
Edit: Rory could be fucked on 13.

And Leishman leaves another one short. If you added 3 inches to all of his putts today, he'd probably be within a shot or two of Reed.
Certainly. Spieth had a 5 stroke lead after 9 holes on Sunday two years ago. Rory obviously in 2011. There have been others, I'm sure. All is not lost, yet.
Of course not - I was stating the obvious, but sometimes it's worth restating the obvious. If the course keeps playing soft and easy tomorrow, you could see Reed shoot around even par and get overtaken.
The way Reed is playing right now, with 15 still to come, I expect him to tack on a couple more birdies from here.
