The Official Thread of the Greatest Sporting Event

[QUOTE=Kiwi Player]They clearly have good taste, at least in movies.

Ah well coverage starts in about 3 hours so that's Ok. I mean how much Tiger A$$ kissing can you really take in 1 day anyway?[/QUOTE]

That's the cool part about the internet feed. You get the amen corner or 15 and 16 holes. So basically you get to watch every single player and very little "now to tiger throwing grass" or "now to tiger reading the green for 5 minutes."

Not to rub it in, but it's second behind the Lary tai chi video.

Can you not access the feed direct from the Masters?

Maybe the CBS feed that Sooner linked for you was for US only audiences. You might try the Masters site.

When you go to the masters.com site you need to let it run for awhile without clicking on anything. I found that worked pretty well yesterday. I think it has something to do with the computer's brain. Then again the tubes may be cold.

You Aussies should be proud to see Jason Day in second place going into the weekend. I like the kid's game.

You guys hear that slurpping sound right now? It is the sound of all the TV commentators sucking Tiger's dick now that he is having a good round. One commentator actually said "we are so privileged to be able to be here for this." Give me a break.

Good thing wood has been in a slump, the nutt-huggers would be at 'their' very best today with their imbecile catcalls. Kiwi?

There's the Chokio Garcia we all know and love. Way to turn a potential eagle into a par . . . . . if not bogey.

Looks like wood is back to reality, missing the putt on 16 and leaving himself a touchy chip shot on 17 after 'hitting a club off the tee to hit the fairway' (and missing), more nutt-hugging from the announcers. Priceless!

He had a good round today, I'll give him that. But, he hasn't been finishing tournaments lately that he has been in, so he still has to prove that he can do that.

Hopefully his 'fans' will drink it up tonight so they can suffer with hangovers tomorrow when he gets back to being tiger-I'd say he'll shoot a 75 or so. ANYBODY but him.............

[QUOTE=famousdavis]Tiger Woods will win The Masters. There is something in the air and I can feel it. Everything is coming together at the right time. I can't believe I didn't see this before. I am absolutely sure that Tiger will win the Masters.[/QUOTE]
Eh. Maybe, but probably not. Well, he could, couldn't he? What did he finish at, like 3 behind Rory? I watched a bit of the last couple of holes and Tiger looks like he's found some sort of timing groove with the driver and long irons and he made a few putts. And that second shot on 18 sent a small shiver down my spine which was already twitching 'cause I really had to take an after-work crap but wanted to watch a couple of more shots (and there's no cable outlet in the downstairs bathroom--yet.). So he hits this mega-soft golfball compressed 30* power fade that floats into the 15 square foot landing zone (notice I didn't refer to it as the LZ for the sake of all you civilians.) like it was at the tail end of a HALO in soft breeze. Then he made the putt dead center and just gave a little pump and semi-smirk to let them know "I'm back." I'm afraid he is back and all the kids and posers up ahead had better got a couple hours more sleep tonight, skip the post-round beers, BJ's, quickies, midnight snacks etc and gird their loins for battle. The only thing that could throw a monkey wrench into the Tiger machine is if there's a guy in the gallery like what's his name Bobcat Breathwathe or something like that who is a ventriloquist and can throw his voice at the beginning or Tiger's backswing or just as he draws his putter back or can vocally throw a wet, sloppy fart sound across the green. If he's getting that hot, that's the only thing that can stop him. Not Rory, not Justin, not Ricky (B or F), nor Steve nor Sergio or Alviro, nor Dasher, Dancer, Comet.....now a Vixen, that might do it.

[QUOTE=SoonerBS]You Aussies should be proud to see Jason Day in second place going into the weekend. I like the kid's game.[/QUOTE]
I just saw the news. It looks like a great leaderboard gong into the weekend for a change. All exciting players. The veterans like Woods and Ogilvy up against the new kids. Long hitters all of them. Choi is a bit of a spanner in the works, but he's paired with Tiger so we won't have to put up with any footage of him whatsoever. When it's Choi's shot we will be seeing a close up of Tiger's arse crack to see if uses one finger or two to pick it. If I was there tomorrow I would be undecided which group to follow. It would usually be a no brainer, but McIlroy and Day together is a hell of a final grouping. And Quiros and Ogilvy would be a great pairing to watch too. I hope the leaderboard stays pretty much the same going into tomorrow. Those top 6 (except Choi) fighting it out would be one of the greatest Masters Sundays ever.

I will be setting the alarm for early and watching every shot tomorrow.

Tiger will win this tournament. It's in the air...you can feel it. Golf viewing is back!

Golf viewing was getting great before the cameras started centering on Tiger again. If a true golfer couldn't get excited yesterday by watching Woodland, Quiros and Vega together, then they just can't get excited. There has been some great golf going beside what Tiger has been doing.

Buckwheat will not win. Although he does well from behind...playing golf that is.

Yeah I agree with FD. Whilst it's great to have the young guns McIlroy & Day at the top of the leader board with Fowler also in contention Tigers rise up the leader board just adds spice to an already interesting Masters.

You never know what's going to happen in the next two days but this has the potential to be a thrilling finish on Sunday.

That wasn't tai chi. It was just larry swinging his six iron. An easy mistake to make, though.

What is even more amusing is all the talk about the possibility of Fred Couples winning it all. He is nothing more than the token old guy who's Viagara has kicked in and will run out this weekend. I'd like to hear commentators talk the young kids up more and leave these dying stories alone.

It's not every daythat I agree with a gff yielding foo like sooner but I have to concur. Watson is the worst in this regard. He comes across too mushy and trying to sat all the right stuff. Crenshaw, mize and stadler need to step down and Watson should maybe play two more years. Did I mention that woods is going to win?

Fred who? You talking about that old fool Fed Couples. Surely when you look at this year's leaderboard they don't have to drag that old chestnut out. There are half a dozen feel good stories this year. Tiger's redemption, Day winning on debut, McIlroy living up to the hype, Ogilvy adding another major. I could understand years gone by with names like Perry, Cabrerra, Immelman an Sneddeker at the top of the leaderboard, but they don't need to be talking Freddy this year.

Eldrick was never as fun to watch as the rest of the current leaderboard is, unless you're weak-minded enough to need someone else to tell you what you should like. McElroy not only plays extremely watchable golf, but listening to his interview, he's not a dirtbag like Eldrick.

By the way, I have found that the masters.com website works much faster with the live video feeds when using Firefox as your browser. I couldn't get the videos to start with Explorer.

Enjoy the commercials and three minutes of Tiger-free coverage. And it's a certainty that even when Nancy-boy Nantz isn't talking about Tiger he'll be thinking about grabbing his ankles for him.

Rory just b!tch-slapped Tiger while he was addressing his approach shot on 18. Tiger was about to hit whenever he heard the roar from Rory's birdie putt on 17. He had to back off before readdressing the ball. Then he smacked it through the green and ended up getting a bogey. Tiger now needs to get a t-shirt made, "Owned by Rory."

I guess Rory is playing well enough to breakdance naked on the green (which I'm sure he's done).... but his club twirling has to go. Really, the twirling is approaching "**** in the color guard" status (which I'm sure Rory wouldn't mind being).

Hopefully someone in the crowd will get tired of it and take that club and shove it up Rory nice and deep and then give it a good twirl...

I would really like to believe that, but I think he's done. Tomorrow he will again strikje the ball better than anyone in the field, and will scrape and fight to eke out a decent enough round to get him on the edge of contending, but ultimately he will come up short and finish low top 5. This sort of performance from tiger has a bit of de ja vu about it. He just doesn't seem to be able to make enough putts to really put hte pressure on, he's always just far enough back not to terrify the leaders into choking. I also think that Tiger is too agressive when coming from ehind. When he's in front he plays safe and lets his opponents self destruct, but he goes for low percentage plays when behind which cost him.

That would have been the roids. She should have thought of that before hooking up with a roid head.

One of the many cool things about watching in 3D is you get a completely different announcing team. Mike Tirico and Paul Azinger. Tirico doesn't sniff butt, doesn't talk as though violins are playing in the background and has actual, useful info to share.

Azinger is refreshingly informative, giving you depth and insight as to the course and what the players are facing, not the typical s.hit you can see for yourself like what most of them give you. They really enhance, as opposed to what's going on on the other channel.

I really admired the way Rory McIlroy played today. He did exactly this. Just kept patiently making pars and then going for the safe birdies on the par 5's when all he needed to do was put the ball on the green in two and make his two putts. The birdie on 17 was the icing on the cake. I really hope he can play well tomorrow and close it out. It was a pity Jason Day couldn't quite hang in there with him. It would have been cool to have those two young guys duking it out again on the final day.

I have to agree. If he was striking it poorly and making a bunch of putts I'd say he has a chance. However, like so many greats before him, he just can't sink putts. I do think there's a good chance that Rory might give it away. His history shows that he can give away a lead pretty quickly. Angel Caberrera is probably the best bet if Rory chokes. He loves the Masters and always does well on the last day. I think Day is going to fade, Scott will fade and so will the rest of the guys who haven't won before.

I found myself wondering why Tiger looked so awful on some of his follow-thrus but if you look at tape he's always done that. The difference now is the putting and chipping. He's not even close to where he was 10 years ago.

Augusta during the final round reminds me of a tiebreaker in tennis. Flaws can be offset at Augusta in the early rounds but on Sunday weaknesses are exposed and payment is due. It will be very interesting to see how eldrick's putting goes tomorrow. I expect it to fail him.

I think he's too far behind to make a run now anyway unless the guys ahead of him collapse.

I'd actually posted that before I'd seen his back nine (delayed it on the DVR). I agree on McIlroy, I'm hoping for him, although there are a number of class acts in contention.

Nicklaus hits wedge to 17 in that 1975 replay and I could clearly hear in the audio his caddy saying to him in that southern black man style, "good shot bozzz"

that had to be the end of the era when black men called their rich white employers "boss".. I certainly do not remember it in my lifetime, perhaps because I never hung around with rich white men... but saying "good shot bozzz" in that laconic style certainly gave me a clue about Georgia in 1975...

Angel has trouble off the first tee while McIlroy had a beautiful drive to start things off.

That was a great out by Cabrerra on #1.

Wow, McIlroy pulled his par putt left for a starting Bogey.

The camera work has been superb on this coverage all week.

McIlroy is starting to feel the nerves. I was hoping he would not have his usual blowup round today. He is usually good for one bad round during a tournament and he hadn't had that yet. Today is certainly starting out that way though.

Good save by McIlroy on 2.

Schwartzel takes a share of the lead with an eagle on a Par 4.

Great tournament taking place today.

Well, it has turned into the Tiger TV Broadcast today.

This is a definite wet dream for CBS, FD and NaH.

[QUOTE=SoonerBS]This is a definite wet dream for CBS, FD and NaH.[/QUOTE]

Don't forget Huskyhater. :D

McIlroy needs to ease the nerves and start making a move very soon.

McIlroy is choking it all away. Tiger is the only one acting like he wants the win today.

Tiger is the same old arshole that is way too bothered by cameras on the tee box.

I saw 'stevie' run to a phone in between 9th green and 10th tee to phone the Hooters around the corner on Washington to hire a girl so tiger could have somebody to hug (ran off all the smart ones) if he happens to win-and he just pulled his swearing on tv again, real class act. Go field!

[QUOTE=SoonerBS]Well, it has turned into the Tiger TV Broadcast today.[/QUOTE]
At least there is a legit reason for the coverage of his shots since he is still in contention. If he was way back, I would be p*ssed, but this is developing into one of the best final 9's I can remember. Whoever wins it, deserves it.

Rory looks like he is starting to choke. The Masters does not start until the final 9 on Sunday and this seems to be the case with a great finish coming up. Their are so many players in contention. Can Rory right the ship? Will Tiger's putter let him down again? Will Cabrera steal another Masters? Will Adam Scott's charge carry him to the win? Will K.J. win it?

Oh man is Rory doing an ultimate choke or what? Wow!

wow! What a masters! Tiger must be banging chicks every hole....excuse the pun

Oh man Rory is taking a beating. He looks like he is going to start balling. He is young and it will be interesting to see how he recovers from this absolute meltdown. Tiger has had some chances to put himself up but his putter is failing him yet again......great Masters! It is all about who wants it more right now........

Nice interview, Tiger, you dick weed! I absolutely cannot see why anyone could pull for that shitehead. He is such an arsehole to everyone.

and where the hell did Adam Scott come from?

Scott is playing some damn good golf today. I'd pull for him, but he putts with a long putter.

It has been a great Masters. I hated to see McIlroy fold like has today, but he is young and his time will come.

Scott just made his position a lot stronger with that birdie.

I'd like to see Jason Day win this one somehow because I have been playing him in my Fantasy Golf line-up. I also have Luke Donald.

[QUOTE=SoonerBS]Nice interview, Tiger, you dick weed! I absolutely cannot see why anyone could pull for that shitehead. He is such an arsehole to everyone.[/QUOTE]
I agree, what a jerk. The people that pull for him might not be too smart but they certainly are loud, trying to create as much noise as they can to intimidate the other players. Does 'stevie' wave pompoms away from camera view to get 'them' going, or something?

LOL, Donald hits the flagstick twice on 18, the second for a birdie.

BIG birdie putt for Day on 17.

What a show-Schwartzel ties it up! Lets get somebody in at -11.

This is great golf. We'll see who's got the biggest balls the last few holes. Rorye's already started the sex change transformation. All is is well....Nothing to see here...

Aussies did a hell of a job today. Looks like they're going to be just a little short of the green jacket tho. Day being only 23 has a lot more golf left in him.

This is the lamest, gayest fuking green jacket ceremony I've ever scene. Phil was ready to climb outa his skin. WTF are they doing inside?

+1 . . . . . . not bad for a skinny lass.

I'm sitting here eating leftovers and reflecting on what a great tournament it was. As much as I'd love to hate the Masters for so many reasons, I have to admit it's easily the best tournament. The course is so awesome in so many ways. It's simply the best tournament course there is. And familiarity with the course and its history creates viewer/spectator interest throughout and builds dramatic anticipation on Sunday.

The U.S. Open is often not even fun to watch. The British Open lacks appropriate courses. It comes across as outdated and forced. Then there are the ground balls. The PGA can be pretty good, but without the repeat venue it just can't grow into the drama the Masters provides.

And if you didn't like a no-name winning, get used to it. The talent level out there is becoming incredibly deep. There're just too many guys who can/will win if they get hot, which is why I predicted a guy like Schwarzel. Golf's moving away from being a sport dominated by a small group of stars. Which will make the gyrations of the profit-makers amusing as they try and sell certain individuals.

The U.S. Open is often not even fun to watch. The British Open lacks appropriate courses. It comes across as outdated and forced. Then there are the ground balls. The PGA can be pretty good, but without the repeat venue it just can't grow into the drama the Masters provides.

And if you didn't like a no-name winning, get used to it. The talent level out there is becoming incredibly deep. There're just too many guys who can/will win if they get hot, which is why I predicted a guy like Schwarzel. Golf's moving away from being a sport dominated by a small group of stars. Which will make the gyrations of the profit-makers amusing as they try and sell certain individuals.[/quote]

I completely agree. For whatever reason, the US Open is always a let down and kind of boring. The British Open is usually a great tournament to watch even though the coverage isn't as good. Some of the PGA Championship events have been the best tournaments I've seen. The one with Tiger and Bob May is still the most exciting tournament I've ever seen.

The PGA offers hope of greatness most years. We'll see how AAC John's Creek plays out.

The only thing that the Opens have going for them is that they make the conditions so extremely and unnecessarily tough that it is occasionally amusing to see the number of bogeys and double bogeys the professionals can make. It gives us hacks the illusion that we are as good as them whenever in reality many of us would likely double whatever score they would make.

Yes, the Opens give us rank amateurs some sense of hope, but The Masters is the greatest because the same course is there every year, the players know it, the fans know it, and the media knows it. Thats why Augusta is the greatest-its the same test every year-just like it has been since it started....well almost. They HAD TO lengthen it to adjust to the equipment-equipment that has enabled people who change their swings every couple of years to better themselves enough to be able to compete against the 'naturals' (the guys who don't sleep with their swing coaches). Masters Week is my favorite week of the year, the rest of the Majors are close seconds, especially when people win who respect the game, respect reporters/fans (acknowledge them-TIGER?), and prove to be a class act whether winning (NICE post-rd interview tigger, you jerk-while you were tied for lead), or losing (McIlroy has more class in his middle finger than tigger has in his and his racist dad's bodies) which Rory proved with his classy, mature beyond his years post rd interview. I can't see how anybody who was raised accordingly and teaches anything to their kids ANYTHING about respect can root for tiger wood. What a $h!tty example for a parent to use for a kid-I steer my kids away from 'examples' like him. What are wood fans kids gonna end up doing-spit on their teachers?

Mcatee was talking like Tiger had already lost while there was a lot of holes to go still. I would have been pissed too if I thought I still had a chance, albeit a small one. There was a buzz around the place hoping for a 7 way playoff until Adam Scott and Jason Day ruined that thought before Schwartzel ran away with it.

btw That place gets pretty damn loud. It was awesome.

It could be the greatest piece of ground I've ever seen. In the future, you'll probably enjoy watching the Masters alot more with the perspective you now have.

Wood knew he was beat and couldn't accept it happening-AGAIN (HAW, HAW, HAW). The guys behind him were better than him, he knew it, and thats why he handled his interview like a spoiled little racist-raised boy that wasn't getting closer to Jack Nicklaus-the greatest ever.

And yes, Augusta IS the most beautiful grouns on the earth. Glad to see it grant justice to the best agin yesterday. Congrats to Schwartzel, he deserved it.

The routing of the course I found very odd from what I had pictured in my mind. I wasn't even close. And those greens, cameras don't do them justice. They seemed a little slower this year than in the past. I'm not sure if they expected the wind to be up over the weekend and it didn't show up or what (wish it would have, holy god did it get hot)

Schwartzel is one of those names you could expect to hear in a Mel Brooks movie. "The bathrooms are over there gents and don't forget to put away your schwartzels before you come back out".

You mean like, "May the schwartz be with you?"

A JOKE like THAT beating wood-your hero? Does that make you feel better? Wood fans totally entertain me in their frustrations-I'm getting REAL used to it and enjoying it 100%! DEAL WITH IT....his time is GONE! These kids aren't afraid of him, they won't diasappear when his circus ('stevie' with the pompoms leading) creates their false cheers for his pars to try and intimidate (dont forget the catcalls 'get in the water' for opponents) the other players, his little racist fueled drive is DONE! He'll finish with 16 Majors........................DEAL WITH IT!

I'm making fun of the guy's name...not of him. There's nothing racist about it. My comment has nothing to do with Woods. I think Schwartzel is a great player and fun to watch and I'm glad he won but I do think he has a funny name and I'm just being silly. That's it, nothing more. Loosen the bone Wilma.
