Let the hype train commence, Tiger Woods practised at Augusta today apparently playing 18 holes with Charlie and JT.
Market a bit of a mess at the moment, some brave punters imo leaving money up to be laid at prices that are nothing special with two legit market movers in Rory and Spieth playing this weekend. Some will be getting burned if either or both of those two contend in San Antonio.

He looks like an octopus putting up a deckchair mid swing….
Somehow Scottie has extended the overnight lead 
what a turn of events.

Smith starting to look ragged now, thought he was going to put the pressure on.
Smith in bogey territory in the bunker on 5. Not since Charl's win has there been a bigger swing on the early holes on masters Sunday.
is it possible to be more annoying than this sycophantic pr1ck Dougherty..totally vacuous waste of space
Smith needed to put the pressure on, there by getting closer, but he's put it in the same hollow as Scheffler.

Sweepstake. On what hole will Sky comms declare Rorys chance has gone? I go 18th NAP.
Nerves are gone, Scottie just playing a round of golf now. The hole out changed everything.

Yep. Amazing. I think that doesn't go in it goes 10 ft by and Smith stichches his.
the lucky chip seems to have rattled Smith and settled Scheffler. Fine from a betting point of view, but I would've liked to see some excitement. Not quite over yet, but Smith needs Scheffler to start pulling his drives again.
Cant back-up what I'm saying, but would be interesting to know what McIlroy's scores in majors with different players are - focusing on their pace of play.
Mc Ilroy just now on the 12th - straight-up, club, shot, moving on. He's playing with Morikawa (wondering if he is fast also). If he was playing with Spieth he'd still be on the tee-box with Spieth jabbering away non-stop. Its well-known McIlroy hates playing with Spieth as he spends most of the time standing around waiting for him.
Just curious, never really know I suppose.

McIlroy needs blinkers, cheekpieces and a hood for rounds 1,2 and 3
Eagle putt for Rory. Fair play to him. I didn't think he would be in this position.
Sorry - what I'm getting at is, I suspect one of McIlroy's weaknesses is that he is poor at playing at different tempos. He is definitely one of the faster players, many on the PGA Tour are excruciatingly slow.
If you play golf you'll know that you cant always play at the tempo you prefer if you are playing with slower players. Its just part of the game. McIlroy seems to be charging around the course at the pace he wants to play today.
Its a "suspicion" I have.
( His other definite weakness is that he is not that great in wind, surprisingly really as a lot of those Irish players (Lowry, Harrington) are ). That is not a suspicion, blatantly obvious.

pity for Smith. He was so solid yesterday, didn't expect him to put in so many ropey shots today.
I agree wallflower
I think Rory is at his best when he’s not thinking about it, today he’s just playing care free and nailing it

Shot Cam. Gotta make a putt, 2 shot swing and game on again.
Sheffler basically won this with his 1st 2 rds since which time has just being doing enough
and not enough players near enough to him to induce any real pressure

GSM barring a Spieth type meltdown which occurred at the hole they've just finished
Cam has that Rory body language going from when he melted down here as a young un.
The image of Rory hunched over his driver is iconic
He looked absolutely done in walking of that 18th

Another bout of the lefts for a few holes wouldn't go amiss.
What a finish, as a group they've gone -13 for the day.
Sheff deserves the win ..played some great shots ALL 4 rds not an outlier in the final rd when your previous 3 were dogsh1te
What a state golf is in, SS as world no 1 and Masters champ. All the ball strikers and talent out there and somehow a guy who literally swings it like a 12 handicapper is dominating the game.
Never has it been truer to say “ it’s a game of numbers not pictures”.
Amazing how fast it changes now. Spieth is still only 28 and it feels like he will barely be relevant going forward outside of maybe The Open. Who'd have thought that 5 years ago. DJ a dominant no 1 as little as 18 months ago now battling to be relevant. Rahm looked like becoming a dominant force now 10 months without a win. The kids are coming through at a rate of knots. Sam Burns for the PGA 
That’s the thing, this guy had won 4 recently, it just shows how pi$$ poor the current crop are. Too much money involved these days and a severe lack of dedication it looks like on the part of many.
now wheres that switch - I have never read such nonsense in my life. Don't embarrass yourself further.
1.01 SS doesn’t qualify for more than one more Ryder Cup team. Next Ricky Fowler for sure, those with a flaw in their dingalings always have been the same. A hot streak here or there, then back to playing in the Sunday 4 ball off 3hcp.
Scottie is very boring.....there is nothing about him that cries out Golf being sexy. He is boring in his play, boring in his appearance and looks emotionless
Let's hope he doesn't dominate for too long

haters will always hate..fair play to the guy i say given all his 'flaws'(allegedly) ain't done too bad
can't think of too many 12 handicappers who would lap the best golfers in the world on a course with unbelievably demanding greens!

I don’t think he’s boring as such,as he doesn’t know where it’s going at the top of his backswing… have you seen how many times he finishes with hands wrapped all around the club. Entertaining to watch for that reason alone, has a great short game though. That would have been learnt from the many years of hitting it everywhere.

Nice double down
Not having a go at SS as such, just the state of the game in general. Just look at the leaderboard. Rory after the horse had bolted, then Morikawa aside, most of the worlds best struggling to break par in ideal conditions.
Congrats to him
Ricky Fowler is one of the best players not to win one though (yet) he mentally weak that’s his problem

Other than maybe a bit of excitement over Tiger not a Masters that will live long in the memory. I've forgotten it and it's not even finished.
That swing on 17 is exactly what I’m talking about. Embarrassing for the rest of the players that he is beating them regularly at mo.
Agree TB, makes 3 in a row. Having a rough patch this tourney. Interesting stat for the week - Zero eagles on 15, first time since the 60's. Maybe the changes made were not so good.
Augusta doesn't really punish wayward drives too penally
lots of gaps between the trees

Yeah, you can't complain about the course not being tough enough when there's only 10 under par, maybe if anything some holes could be easier to get more guys in the mix- the changes to 15 haven't added anything. There's no denying they are getting high quality, deserving winners but it's short on thrills of late.
it's obviously more exciting when u have more in the mix in the latter stages but that is prob more a reflection of averageness
as opposed to this week when smn plays at a level others can't match

Good fella Cam. Holding back there to give Scottie the walk alone.

Meanwhile Rory McIlroy with maybe the best swing hasn't won since 2014.
I don't think we've seen the last of Scheffler if he wants more but that is a big if.
