MASTERS running thread

I agree. Because of the wind, the cold and the high scores, they're probably going to put some easy pin placements out there. All the Masters Moments are Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, etc... birdieing holes like crazy on the back nine. Tiger will dominate the back nine and win this thing. Easy.

That's my prediction.

 

Just saying... it's a shitty past decade for golf, with one massive exception.

Since the eve of Woods' 1997 Masters, there have been 16 players who have won a single major.

Only five have won more than one.

It's an era of golf filled with interchangeable parts who have grown fat finishing 2nd or worse with the Tigerized purse structure.

 

Huh?

 

For the record, Tiger never had the lead in that final round of the 2002 PGA championship. Beem held him off to win it.

I'm talking I'd like to see Tiger blow it when he has the or is tied for the lead.

 

How many majors has Tiger won when he didn't lead after 54?

 

I want to see drama tomorrow for the final round, but with Tiger in the final pairing, he's a damn assassin with that killer mentality. Johnson, Harrington, Taylor, etc. don't have a chance in fucking hell to man up and compete with him.

Tiger by 5 strokes when all of this is said and done on Sunday.

 

They will come on earlier, if not on USA for the early tee-offs. CBS has a Jim Nantz special that will lead up to the final pairings teeing off around 1:15 EST.

 

Zip.

 

It won't got on USA earlier. Since the tee times have been pushed back from where they were supposed to be, and CBS has "18-hole coverage" I was more wondering if they would come on at 11 Left_Coast instead of 11:30 Left_Coast.

 

Therein, I think, lies the brilliance. People say that Jack had Arnie, Player, Trevino and Watson to push him. I know Reilly has said something to this effect before, but Phil, Ernie, Vijay, they're not good enough to push Tiger for any consistent length of time.

He's not the same player he was 10 years ago. '07 Tiger would whoop '97 Tiger's ass, especially on days like Saturday. The dude's remolded himself two times over now, and each new version we see is more dominant than the last. I like Tiger because he's a virtuoso. I didn't get to see Jim Brown, Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Arnie or Jack in their primes. I get to see Tiger in his prime, and I'm soaking it in while I can.

 

Never said I didn't appreciate his greatness. Just getting tired of his reign. I got it 5 years ago. It's like being force-fed arsenic!

 

Very debatable.
