Don’t want to lose the first Major of the year in amongst trivia.
Gary Player & Jack Nicklaus have managed to hit the ceremonial first Tee shots after an emotion filled but simple remembrance of Arnold Palmer. (Gulp)
Game on, there will be limited TV coverage via online streams of certain holes and groups until full coverage begins for you guys around 8pm UK time.
How could Dustin fall downstairs the night before such an event (some people) would ask, puts SPieth & Rory right back into contention in the betting if he doesn’t make it to the Tee on time.
Nope I’m not asking as my missus fell down the stairs on the morning of our wedding when the heal on her shoe broke. Despite her best efforts we were married in The Bugle Street Registry Office later that morning…on a Friday so I wouldn’t miss the home game the next day.
Every cell in the body screams Spieth - his short game is just perfect for Augusta.
Rory IMHO has left himself too much to do - he could put in a 65 but think there are too many ahead of him in the pack now to get past all of them.
Justin has done it before - remember the Olympics.
But then after being subjected to my extreme discipline, hypnosis techniques (and under armour), Sergio is a different ball game this year.
Karma decrees he should win it on the weekend of Seve’s 60th birthday. He is good enough, he should have won a major and now he is engaged he does appear mentally stringer and more relaxed
Sergio would be great. Always liked him and have money on him. Tried to do a double on the win and a hole in one on the 16th. Wouldn’t let me. Shame as it was 285/1
Fact is though Sergio gave us one of our greatest on course moments this year at the Desert Classic when we jogged down the 18th in complete darkness and he made a birdie after we’d walked 31 holes.
He didn’t need to take the risk but kept going was amazing stuff.
