if it was an american doing it....

I think intent is the key difference there

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

That penalty is a crock.

 

[Lebbo73]

This is ridiculous

I disagree, he broke the rules. That’s one rule that I definitely agree with.

A two shot penalty for moving about 3 grains of sand accidentally is reasonable? Yet these pros are allowed all these bullshit drops if they get anywhere near a grandstand or path or anything else that doesnt give them a perfectly manicured lie.

They can even replace their ball on the green if they “accidentally” smash it in their practice swing.

He was only penalised because they ruled it would have been visible to the naked eye. That's my biggest beef with it all. Obviously I have no idea if Ancer knew he touched the sand or not but you can't honestly tell me that it would have been clearly visible to the naked ye. Hell, I had to watch it a number of times with a closeup replay to figure out what actually happened.

I can see both your sides of the story but the rule has to be black and white. Ancer didn’t have to get the club so close to the sand. Do I think that he cheated? No.

Justin Roses' lead is massive. Ive seen scores like this get run down pretty easily though. If he can finish up around -3 for the day he will be hard to catch I would've thought.

 

[freddy mercury]

How many balls a week do you think these boys hit?

Kind of conditions where a tournament ending blow up hole can be just around the corner

 

[Dhoni Dakurri]

The Masters broadcasters have not changed the cheesy piano soundtrack CD for I reckon 35 years.

 

[Dhoni Dakurri]

Rose drops a shot on the first. Leishman birdies the first three holes. Come on Leish!

 

[OffTheBit]

Anyone got a way of watching? Why the hell are they showing practise on foxtel?

Kayo and/or the Masters app cob

Can we can consider Weisberger an honoury aussie this round ?

Going the other way, back to the pack now

Real stinker today. Was hoping lefty could move up the leaderboard. But playing like a busted arse.

 

[freddy mercury]

Lowry is the pinnacle of what I want to be. A tad overweight without being too overweight, looks like he can't play but is a Pro. Probably loves the pub, beers, family. Definitely has a few bets over the weekend.

3000-6000 (including putts)

Vital in his prime would play then spend 5+hours on the range

 

[toxic]

Smith with a bad error on 15

Was on fire till then

 

[toxic]

Thomas and Finau with terrible misses on 18

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Zalatoris has game. a name we will be hearing a lot of in the next decade.

 

[freddy mercury]

Bryson had a decent day.

 

[Pres]

Hope Rose wins. Nice guy, honest golfer. Was number one not too long ago. Unlucky to lose in a play off in 2017 to Sergio. Deserves it.

Errrr......

Looks very comfortable in the company he’s in.

Would be great to see a first timer salute, even more so that he wasn’t even on tour in 2019.

Watched a bit of the one of the feeder tours? maybe during lockdown and he was very good in that.
