It helps his score by a couple shots. :D

No Cadillac.

I don’t know, he’s wasted three or four holes already and Molinari doesn’t make many mistakes that affect his score.

A "large crystal bowl", same prize as a double eagle.

Wait, what...? Curt is watching golf?:eek::D

Sorry, but I would like to see Tiger make a comeback and win. However Molinari is a great guy, Finau is too. Koepka too. Kuchar has a tap in on 10 for birdie. Cantalay is hot. The top of the board is filled with good dudes IMO. It'll be a fun final round.

Long time Masters fan. Did a Sat/Sun in 92, Thu/Fri in 93, and the Wed practice round in 94. Love that place - it is magical, especially on Sunday. Actually, had a chance to play the course in the mid 90's and could not make it work on my end. Kicking myself to this day...

Hahaa. I usually watch every week beginning with the 1st rounds on Thurs! Used to golf 4-5 times a week. Now I've got a left shoulder problem and I'm lucky to make it 5 holes - and just hacking at it, at that :rolleyes: Frustrating when I'm spending most of my time these days in the golf mecca of the world.

Molinari is a machine. Unflappable. He needs some birdies though.

History in Golf.

Congratulations Tiger.

MMiller 04-14-2019 10:55 AM

That was a great watch! Really enjoyed..

Scott Douglas 04-14-2019 10:59 AM

I've found watching golf to be very relaxing compared to watching what is happening in Washington D.C.

Racerbvd 04-14-2019 11:03 AM

One guy bet $85K that Tiger would win, that was worth $1.19 million..

Good for Tiger, he went through a lot of mental, and physical stress to get back to wearing the green jacket for the 5th time.

I would love to have bet on him but didn't want to give him the kiss of death.

Pro golf is really in an unprecedented era. For the past several years, at least the top 25 in the World Rankings have a legit shot at winning any given Major. There's a lot of parity, including many young guys in their 20s like Thomas, DeChambeau, Spieth*, Koepka, Rahm, Schauffelle, Finau, Fleetwood, Cantlay, etc. Back in Tiger's day, there were maybe 4-5 guys with a realistic chance at a Major.

*WTH has happened to Spieth the last 2 years. He was on top of the world and has a hard time finishing in the top 10 anymore. Me thinks he needs a new coach to get his mind right again.

I was wondering why Bryson was celebrating like that. Most pros don't get nearly that excited with an Ace. Then they said that was his 1st hole in one ever! That's incredible for somebody of his stature.

Tiger is playing against all the kids that grew up watching him, dreaming of being him: And so they have, exceptionally so.

The talent level across the board is extraordinary.

I was hoping Molinari would win just because, no affiliation: I wanted a Woods/Molinari duel but settled in for the drama that unfolded.

Drama without a script...the best kind.

billybek 04-14-2019 01:05 PM

Crap...
I thought I was watching this live!
Congrats, Tigger!

CurtEgerer 04-14-2019 01:11 PM

Looks like Tiger has moved up to No. 6 in the world with the win. First time he's been in the top 10 in years.

javadog 04-14-2019 01:17 PM

This must rank as one of the best Masters in recent memory. The play yesterday was extraordinary, maybe the best scoring Saturday ever. The number of talented guys at the top of the leaderboard is amazing, there were 10 people that could’ve won this today. The greens were so soft and receptive yesterday and today; it really evened things up at the top and took away a little of the advantage from all the older players in their experience. I do think all of Tiger’s years here helped him, when the wind picked up.

It was a shame to see Molinari screw up the 12th hole; hard to believe four of the last six players put it in the water there. The debacle on 15th was even more amazing. Brooks has to be kicking himself for that lousy putt on 18, he could’ve really put some heat on Tiger.

Really happy with the results. It’s been a long time coming and well deserved.

Same here. He looked unshakable until he wasn't and put that one in the pond. Feel bad for him. It was his to lose, and he lost it!
