Just went through the DK props and here are a few I like. Might sprinkle $5 on each.

Top LIV player: Koepka +600
LIV player to win: Yes +225 (I don't necessarily think it happens, but you get some good value here with the odds skewed so heavily toward Scottie)
Scheffler/Rahm T10 parlay: +250
Rory/Rahm/Scheffler all T20: +300
Top English player: Rose +600
Top Asian: Sungjae Im +600
Top Oceana: Adam Scott +360
Top debutant: Wyndham +330
Top lefty: Akshay +200
Miss cut: Harman +190

Yes, I know there's a gambling thread, but I figure this could spark interesting discussion here.

Looks like it's a lot better to have late/early tee times for Thursday/Friday for sure.

Looks like perfect weather after Thursday.

If the weather forecast is correct, it will begin to rain overnight until about noon, then blow a hoolie all afternoon. Masters doesn't to lift, clean and place, so be ready for mud-ball complaints.

I won't be watching until the back 9 on Sunday, but I'd tune in to see Brooks and Bryson get into a fight that no one wins until the other is knocked the fork out. Because fork those guys.

The Masters honchos have already said gates won't open as the usual time and a new update will be provided by 5 a.m,.

Seeing some speculation of the first group going out around 1 p.m, But the weather can change for the better (or worse) too.

That commentary was posted with the Masters logo? Hoping one of the kids would faceplant?

OK, here's my Masters press center story. In 2002, I was seated in the amphiteater typing away in a row full of other scribes. It was like early Saturday afternoon. A nice green jacketed gentleman came over and introduced another green jacketed gentleman. "If you need anything, a quote sheet or something, just ask Sam here and he'll help you out." "Sam here"was better known by his more formal title, former US Senator Sam Nunn.

Oh yeah? Well, I met Spanky from the Little Rascals at Augusta National!

If false, a fine retort. If true, awesome beyond belief.

Nice of Live From and Rich Lerner with a great interview with Uncle Verne. And a shout-out from Nantz.

Oh my goodness.

Oh.

Wow!


Maybe!

Yes sir!

What does it say?

I believe he's referring to the one of a close-up of Phil Mickelson's slightly pained expression with a quote to the effect of "When you realized you had the Purdue moneyline."
