    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

        Didn't catch any of it this year, usually watch the final round, but was very happy to hear Sergio won the green jacket. Great result and happy he kept his nerve in the playoff.

          surely a rule change needs to be made to stop the cnuts at home from being cnuts at home.

            I would suspect the writers of the rules did not anticipate cable tv the internet and social media when they said it was fine for external parties to report infractions

              @canefan I'd be surprised if Westwood does it. He's 43 now and after 3 second places (11 top 5s in all) his chance might have gone. Although his record is very similar to Sergio's overall .... he's just a few years older.

                  @1kiwi he's paying $151 at TAB, same as Garcia but better than LIV Phil on $201, which seems odd, or not...

                  Rory clear fave on $7.50, but cant see him taking it.

                  Outside Fox, I'd love to see Adam Scott win, but he is well down at $101.

                  I think the winner will be a known player, but not one of the big ones, I just havent decided who yet haha

                  How good...

                    Solid opening round by Fox at -2, with some good players alongside like Cam Smith, Justin Thomas.

                        In actual Masters golf news - Brooks Koepka from LIV golf holds the lead by 3 probably giving PGA officials heart palpitations, an amateur is in 3rd place, Rory McIlroy shoots a 77 to miss the cut and Ryan Fox makes it.

                          Koepka is hitting it so good.

                          Fox with a solid 2nd round -1, with play suspended he is tied for 18th at -3

                          Hovland and Rahm still have 9 to play and are 6 and 3 back from Koepka respectively.

                          I see Norman has said if a LIV player wins the Masters it will make up for his failings there...I call BS.

                          That is the only thing that would annoy me if Koepka wins, Norman and Mickleson, 2 of the biggest douches in the game IMO.

                          Alot of the other PGA vs LIV stuff seems more media driven, or like PGA are using a few of thier players to create the LIV villain

                            Yep. It seems like his finish on any shot is the same. When he was at his best he was money and composed and dominant. Putting well too. Should be a good match up between him and Rahm.

                            Greg says a lot a stupid shit and nothing will make up for his collapse which was painful and I was hoping he would win. I am with him on the LIV venture and I think it has created some good tension/competition and obviously the PGA changed as a result (purse size and possibly other changes that I am not aware of as don't follow any more).

                            I like Rahm, as his response to LIV golfers was more understanding unlike Rory who came across as a whiny bitch. Seems like a good guy and he was majorly screwed during Covid at the Memorial. That was ridiculous to not allow someone to play with Covid in an outside environment. How stupid was the thinking behind that decision. But I digress.

                              Certainly not ideal for the sport having some of the best only playing against one another a couple of times a year.

                              Rain suspended play again.

                              Koepka with a handy lead at -13 through 6, Rahm and amateur Bennet playing with him at -9 and -6 respectively, gonna be a big ask for Rahm to take it from here, although if anyone can right now, it is him.

                              Fox at -3 through 13

                                LIV has definitely changed the PGA, and the players will benefit. I seem to recall the PGA have added lucrative no cut events to their schedule?

                                  Certainly not ideal for the sport having some of the best only playing against one another a couple of times a year.

                                  Rain suspended play again.

                                  Koepka with a handy lead at -13 through 6, Rahm and amateur Bennet playing with him at -9 and -6 respectively, gonna be a big ask for Rahm to take it from here, although if anyone can right now, it is him.

                                  Fox at -3 through 13

                                  They still have to finish off round 3 tonight due to the weather - so there's a heap of holes left.

                                    I've got a few bucks on Keopka finishing as the top LIV player so looking good so far.
                                    Would love to see Rahm win it, its going to be a shootout between him & Keopka I think unless someone like Cantlay, Bennett, Morikawa or Hovland shoot an insane round. Alot of golf still to be played though most players facing 30 holes on the final day.

                                      @1kiwi yeah gonna take something special from someone other than Rahm to take it from Koepka me thinks.

                                      @KiwiMurph yeah I know they have to still complete round 3.

                                      Just when Brooks is making his putts, he will be tough to beat.

                                      Foxy could have a top 10 or 20 if he keeps it up too, be great for him.

                                        Foxy is doing just awesome. Hasn’t been great with the big stick off the tee at times and has done some great scrambling. Also some brilliant par 3 tee shots - can put them really really close at times.

                                        Rory eh…why a flop!

                                          Rory probably put too much pressure on himself after talking all that shit about LIV. The guy should be thanking them, seeing as the PGA have upped the ante in the winnings stakes and that never would have happened without LIV
