The Masters!

JK

Can't wait. If DJ shows up he probably wins, though Spieth is always a shot at Augusta.

I also wouldn't sleep on Matsuyama and Rose. Bit of an omen bet on Day as well, his form has been a bit off but my Dad always tells me 'bet on the best story' and Day coming up the 18th, embracing his sick mother while crying... you can see the headlines now.

I quite like the story of DJ winning with a broken back too

JK

DJ confirmed as out

barbarian

Charley Hoffman on an absolute tear when no-one else has looked comfortable. Now has a four shot lead. Will be interesting to see if he can hold on, definite feeling that anyone could win it this year in the absence of DJ.

Westwood and Garcia still out on course, but not really gonna cut into that lead.

Tim

Westwood is just about the only guy out there who isn't terminally boring or a dick.

taniwharugby

Hoffman taken a stumble after being 2 ahead aflyer 9 holes.

All on tomorrow, with a number of quality players in contention.

Of that field, I reckon the winner will come from Speith, Fowler or Garcia...but then the quality means anyone probably from Scott up is in with a shout.

1 Justin Rose 3.75
2 Jordan Spieth 4.50
3 Sergio Garcia 5.00
4 Rickie Fowler 5.00
5 Adam Scott 13.00
6 Ryan Moore 15.00
7 Charley Hoffman 19.00
8 Rory Mcilroy 41.00
9 Charl Schwartzel 41.00
10 Lee Westwood 81.00

Tomorrow should be pretty amazing. You can't ask for much more. Two great players who are due a major (Fowler and Garcia), proven winners looking for another to put them in Hall of Fame calculations (Rose and Scott) and the redemption story (Spieth).

I bet on Rose before the tournament, and have had a go at Spieth to hedge somewhat. Reckon those two will fight it out.

For some reason I want Fowler to win it.

JK

Would quite like a fowler win apart from fact I have money on speith. I reckon he's coming for it. Gonna be a nice morning....followed by 18 holes of ambrose at titirangi. Hopefully I got the shit golf out of my system yesterday!!

Sergio! I don't mind that at all, well done sir. That's a fucking long wait.

Yeah. I don't really follow golf one-handed like some of you blokes, but I know he's one of those guys who seemed to have all the talent and just maybe needed a break.

Today he fucking crushed it. That shot into the 14th was tight.

Fark, long wait indeed. The monkey is finally off his back

I'm thrilled he won. He's come close so many times. Good on him.

Bovidae

Yeah, even as a non-golf fan I'm happy he's finally won a major.

So who has the tag of best current player never to win a major now?

canefan

@Bovidae No one of Sergio's stature springs to mind

Tim

Lee Westwood.

barbarian

What an amazing day of golf. Happened to be 'working from home' this morning so caught every shot.

The last six holes were fucking incredible to watch. Couldn't look away. Both players were striping it.

Had cash on Rose but so happy Sergio won. Really deserved it.

Lee Westwood.

He's been off the boil for a while, his rank is #54. Like Sergio he only needs four days of dream golf I suppose

taniwharugby

Stoked for Sergio, been so close on a number of occasions before, to finally get it done!!

The Masters!
