2015 Masters Thread (Tiger's playing)
- Thread starter Corsi
- Start date
Nobody knows how Tiger's game will hold up tomorrow and the rest of the week, but he certainly seems relaxed and at ease. A little different Tiger than the stern and focused Tiger we're more used to seeing during major weeks. He's out there chipping and dancing with the ear buds on, joking around with O'Meara, Stricker and his other buddies, playing the par 3 for the first time in 11 years with his kids, joking to the media about Spieth being in diapers when he won the Masters, etc.
I did too until Sobel tweeted that he couldn't finish a practice 9 today due to the flu.
Edit: Wasn't Sobel but I'm pretty sure someone tweeted it....

My golf club has a very simple pool - choose 3 entries, lowest combined score wins. I went with DJ, Jimmy Walker, and Mickelson.
Jesus, what does he have--the plague? The flu caused him to drop out of last week's tourney.cshea said:

Stenson couldn't even get through 9 holes today due to weakness from the flu. Don't think he has the cajones to win a major either.
edit: woops flu was covered I see
My buddies do something similar, though with 5 and the lowest combined standings. Not sure if that's what you mean by score because then the cut gets tricky. Or if you get DQ'd if a guy misses the cut. Regardless, nice to have a vested interest on one of the best weekends of the year.bostonbeerbelly said:
I think he went up to Spieth on the range and asked to play in the practice round with him and Crenshaw.DrewDawg said:
I do a pool with friends. 4 starters, 1 reserve. Reserve comes into play if a starter misses cut. 2 miss the cut and you are out. 1 top 10 world rankings player, 1 11-20 and 2 outside top 20. Reserve is outside top 15.

I would assume in that game with three golfers, if a guy misses a cut you're eliminated.
This was one of the most awesome things ever. Did it after telling Scott van Pelt before hand that he was gonna do it.Red(s)HawksFan said:
Given we do five, but if you miss the cut you get placed as the last guy who made the cut +1. I've gotten close to in the money with that happening (thanks Luke Donald!) but never n the money. Nice way to keep you engaged over the weekend, as if you need any other reason other than it's a Masters weekend.johnmd20 said:
Every year I do a large online pool that's run by a friend of a friend. About 300 or so people, $25 per entry, you have a $1mil salary cap to pick 5 golfers (Rory is tops at $298k). It's all run online and there are semi-live scoring updates so you can follow the standings. PM me if interested and I can send over the info.
When does coverage begin?
Because of a vacation that I just took I can't take my usual Thursday and Friday off of work to stream online at home. I am taking a half day tomorrow though. YOLO.

Yeah, not sure when that starts. They usually have Amen Corner, so I'm would assume that starts when the first group gets there. I'm not sure who the featured groups are, but I'd guess the Rory/Phil group is 1.
Found it...featured groups are basically 6 groups this year. Today's schedule on feature group 1...
9:24: Bubba, Rose, Gunn Yang
12:09: ZJ, Furyk, Els
1:48: Woods, Donaldson, Walker
Feature Group 2:
9:35: Scott, DJ, Murdaca
12:20: Cabrera, Oosthuizen, Dominguez
1:59: Day, Segio, Fowler
9:24: Bubba, Rose, Gunn Yang
12:09: ZJ, Furyk, Els
1:48: Woods, Donaldson, Walker
Feature Group 2:
9:35: Scott, DJ, Murdaca

Masters.com's shot tracking feature is pretty impressive

Olazabal has one of just 2 birdies so far at #1, but he bogeyed 4, 6 & 7 -- and then doubled at 9 to make the turn at +4. Yikes.
Ian Poulter is leaving an oil slick on the back 9. Bogey, double, bogey. He is having difficulty keeping the ball dry again.
