That putt of Young’s on 16 was like a curve ball

FMD game over with two rounds to play

Never over at Augusta

 

[chickenonachain]

Out of the players on the leaderboard the one I want to win the least is Rory

Replying to myself after I posted this Rory went bang bang bang bang bang

 

[chickenonachain]

Never over at Augusta

Let’s hope so, maybe he will do a Norman.

 

[Chadwiko]

Largest halfway lead in Masters history is absolutely wild

 

[toxic]

Was it Fred Couples whon jokingly said, Rory may never lose the Masters again yesterday?

 

[chickenonachain]

No wonder slow play is a problem just look at this group

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Rory looks a level above them all.

you seem like a very nasty person.

Why’s that?

mate i read it.

Why’s that?

dunno something about the whinging that it's 'game over' after 36 holes and hoping for a guy to fumble - have you played or even watched golf before? rose was 7 back from rory end of the third round last year. they had a playoff.

I was replying to toxic in jest get a sense of humour

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Rory was equal leader after R1 wasn't he?
When was the last wire to wire winner? Spieth surely.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Possible conspiracy theory. The track was watered to assist Rory

 

[FreoRicci]

What’s the record for most consecutive end of day leader at US Masters?
Rory has now been the leader or tied for the lead at the end of 4 consecutive rounds.

speith won wire-to-wire in 2015 then led for the first 3 rounds in 2016. all of those were outright leads too.

Yikes.
All that to only implode in the final round and never really the same again.

Hard to believe how good Speith was 10 years ago, given how average he has been lately. Him and Justin Thomas.

This is why the discussion re Cam Smith is strange. People assume that he just would have gone on winning tournaments and majors but the sport of golf is hard and as we have seen reguarly not many can stay at the top.

This may be unpopular take but I'd love to see Rory crash and Patrick Reed win just to shut up the LIV discussion. Don't think there's being a better player on any of the men's tours this year than Reed.

speith is nothing like cam smith. smith has missed his last six cuts at majors, he's absolutely nowhere near it. speith is out there at +1, he's still a competitive player just not at the top echelon anymore. cam smith will probably be attending his last master's next year (think that's when the open exception expires).

 

[10Dulkar]

Great seeing Rory putting them in from everywhere. Hopefully he'll retain the Green Jacket now the monkey is off his back.

It's also 30 years since my favourite golf memory but being born in the UK and growing up a Faldo fan, I won't rub it in!

Yes Smiths form has dropped off my comment was regarding people assuming his trajectory would continue if he didn’t join in LIV. I was using Spieth and Thomas as examples of form dropping off.
