Long way back for BUBBA...100/1 in Spoils now, they knew !
Chapel St is your standard Ferrari and Lambo destination. They don't actually leave the cars, just drive up and down. Chaps laps we call this.

The water on 16 is basically a decoration for these guys. For Bubba and Jason to find it is poor.
J Day serious lapse in concentration here..JEEZ..minimum 3 gone in two holes...twenty mins ago had putt for joint lead!
A triple coinciding with an Eagle from Rory, doesn't get much worse.

Jaidee 860 , one of the best scramblers in the game, I'll take a mad punt at that!
Spieth had the better draw. Tomorrow will be a different test.

these stats are pointless. For all we know Stadler could have shot a 75 in 50 mph wins and be leading.
this one season wonder is trying awful hard to be a two season one
not entirely convinced JS WILL win..putted lights out BUT what is indubitably in his favour is that most behind him can't close it out
absolute gilt edged opportunity for Rose but has let so many winning opportunities get away
team casey will choke
Poults ain't my cup of tea but at least he gives his all but probably not q good enough
garcia..dodn't like his last 2 drives and his attitude stinks
if billy boy could recapture his fedex mojo cos the dude can putt
don't fancy the wee man
and Day's blown it
so Westwood it is then

exactly zachs round was 1.35 strokes better than the average score of 77.35.
In the last 11 years only one winner has posted an above average round (bubba in 14 has a 3rd round of .19 of a stroke above)

That was after Spieth dumped it in the water at the 12th, twice, last year.
Someone does have a penchant for resurrecting old freds, which, personally, I find utterly ridiculous!

Why Is 'Amen Corner' Called That, and Who Came Up With the Name?
Amen Corner is a famous part of Augusta National Golf Club. But why is it called that, and who came up with the name? The origin story involved Arnold Palmer, a Hall of Fame sportswriter, jazz musicians and street-corner preachers. "Amen Corner" was so christened following the 1958 Masters by writer Herbert Warren Wind in an article in Sports Illustrated.
That was the Masters where Arnold Palmer earned his first major championship with the help of a ruling that, even decades later, Ken Venturi was still challenging.
Wind gave the monicker "Amen Corner" to holes 11, 12 and 13 because of the spectacular way in which Palmer played those holes on the final day of the 1958 tournament.
How Palmer Inspired Wind's Use of 'Amen Corner'.
After a rainy evening the night before, the tournament adopted a local rule for the final round to cover embedded balls. A golfer whose ball embedded could, under the newly adopted rule, lift and drop it without penalty. And wouldn't you know it, that rule came up during the final round, and in relation to one of the leaders. On No. 12, Palmer's ball flew the green and embedded in the bank behind it. But the official on the hole was confused about the local rule, and told Palmer he had to play the ball as it lie. So Palmer hacked the ball out of its embedded position and scored a double-bogey 5.
Then, disputing the official's ruling, he dropped a second ball near the original embedded position and scored a 3 with the second ball. Venturi always claimed that Palmer failed to announce before playing the original ball his intention to drop a second ball. Palmer always claimed he did announce that intention.
Regardless, the Masters website relates, Palmer and Venturi then continued playing while the rules committee pondered the situation: "The committee was asked to decide if the local rule was applicable and if so, which score should count. At No. 13, still unsure of what his score was at 12, Palmer sank an 18-foot putt for eagle 3. When he was playing No. 15, Palmer was told his drop at 12 was proper and that his score on the hole was 3, leading to his first major victory."
Wind's Sports Illustrated article describing the tournament, and the events in that part of the golf course, begins this way: "On the afternoon before the start of the recent Masters golf tournament, a wonderfully evocative ceremony took place at the farthest reach of the Augusta National course—down in the Amen Corner where Rae's Creek intersects the 13th fairway near the tee, then parallels the front edge of the green on the short 12th and finally swirls alongside the 11th green."
And ever since, golfers and golf fans have called Augusta National's 11th, 12th and 13th holes "Amen Corner." (Actually, Wind defined Amen Corner as the shot into the 11th green, the full 12th hole, and the tee shot on No. 13, but over time the full three-hole stretch of 11, 12 and 13 has come to bear the name.)
But how did Wind come up with that name? What was his inspiration? In 1984 Wind wrote an explanation for Golf Digest. In that article, Wind wrote: "With plenty of time to think out the article, I felt that I should try to come up with some appropriate name for that far corner of the course where the critical action had taken place ... The only phrase with the word 'corner' I could think of (outside of football's 'coffin corner' and baseball's 'hot corner') was the title of a song on an old Bluebird record." The song that came to Wind's mind was called "Shoutin' in that Amen Corner," and so "Amen Corner" is the turn of phrase he used to describe the part of Augusta National about which he was writing.
And how did the writer of that jazz song come up with "Amen Corner"? That goes back to an address in New York City. In the late 19th/early 20th centuries, Bibles were printed in huge quantities at a location in lower New York. Around the same area, sidewalk preachers gathered to yell out (hence the song's title) their stories of salvation and admonitions against sin. As reader Chris Jenkins, who first pointed us to this origin story, put it, "There were so many 'Amen!' shouts heard each day that the term 'Amen Corner' evolved. Note: Our family Bible, which has been in the family for years, clearly lists the Bible manufacturer's address as ... Amen Corner, New York City."

Members at Augusta National are likely to have USGA handicaps, but they don't use those handicaps at Augusta. Because Augusta National doesn't use the USGA system, and has never been rated for USGA Course Rating or USGA Slope Rating.
Instead, when playing Augusta its members use a very simple system that originated with co-founder Clifford Roberts: Take the average number of pars you make in a round at Augusta, subtract that from 18, and that's your "Augusta handicap." (Note: There is also a small adjustment for average number of birdies made, but members' "Augusta handicaps" usually work out to 18 minus the number of pars made.) Because the course is not USGA-rated, there is no ranking of handicap holes, either. Instead, strokes are allocated starting with the longest hole and going down to the shortest.
DID YOU KNOW Clifford Roberts Committed Suicide on the Golf Course. In the early morning hours of Sept. 29, 1977, Augusta National and Masters co-founder Clifford Roberts stepped out of his clubhouse apartment, walked to a part of the Augusta National grounds, put a .38 revolver to his head and pulled the trigger.
Roberts, who was seriously ill with cancer and had also recently had a stroke, killed himself at age 83. He had turned over chairmanship of the club and tournament only one year earlier. Roberts' body was discovered that morning by grounds crew on the Par-3 Course, by Ike's Pond, not far from the Eisenhower Cabin.

drives me crazy having to watch the scores come up on the official website for 4 hours but no idea how the course is playing yet. By the time the live coverage starts most of the players will have gone home. Surely somebody would benefit by covering the whole thing properly.
Great coverage of a putter indoors. How many million are Sky paying for this rubbish.
