@jk lead pretty much the whole way, hope this is the start of something for him, seems a top bloke.
@taniwharugby His Dad said Ryan's issue has always been he doesn't practice enough and relies too much on talent.
Don't know how true that is but says everything about the ex AB #10!
Great result. Picks up 460 ranking points and a nice little half mill Kiwi

@taniwharugby that's like a video game

Damn

Pretty crazy final round to follow. Smith looked awesome early on but hit some truly awful shots off the tee on the back nine . His recovery and putting was amazing though. Just kept rolling in putt after putt.
Then on the island green par 3 17th he just fired one on the short side of the flag. Gutsy shot. Rolled it in for birdie. Then 18.....in to the water with his second before putting chip right on the money. Talk about clutch.

Watched live and was one of the most thrilling final rounds with so many in contention.
To be fair, he didn't go for that shot on 17, he said he accidently pushed it

The 86th Masters starts tomorrow wooooooo
And Tiger looks a likely starter but think he said he will only confirm on the day. Been watching some of the practice coverage over the last couple of days and the crowds are all over him.
-
@jk Nah, He's confirmed as starting.
If he won, he would top Kelly Slater and Jordan as the greatest in my eyes
-
@hooroo how great would that be...while I expect in his mind, he only plays if he believes he can win, you'd have to think with as long out of the game as he has had, a top 10 would be outstanding!

Yeah fully. I actually think making the cut would be huge given the field.

Wow! How huge is the Tiger effect on golf!!! I just love it. Biggest story of the Par 3 contest was Tiger practising on main course.
PLayers are pumped he's back and know that they need to concentrate on their own game despite the Tiger Tide around them.
-
The tiger effect is insane .... for what it's worth, I don't think he'll make the cut.
Time is right for Cameron Smith / Scottie Scheffler for me.

I tend to agree. He'll only make the cut on his class. I don't think his rehab will get him there

@jk putting is always key around Augusta, get it on with those greens and you are half way there, and he's shown he can putt.

Just been talking about this on the radio this morning ... still one of, if not the best, sporting moments I've ever watched live (on tv)
