• The Masters

    From Travel@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 25 11:36:35 2023
    Ahhh, Spring, and The Masters again.


    Television Schedule:
    -April 6th (Thursday) - 9th (Sunday).
    -Thursday & Friday on ESPN
    -Friday & Saturday on CBS

    This year there will be the double "buzz" of all the LIV Tour players (who would normally be eligible) being allowed to play in The Masters & widespread sports-betting from your phone. https://tinyurl.com/ycxjrbr8

    So, it's probably a good idea to look at the odds a little early (quoted @ the end, below).

    My picks

    -Rory,
    motivated by beefs with players on the LIV Tour; plus The Masters is the only major tournament Rory McIlroy hasn't won.

    The LIV Tour seems to have thown-off the usual ways of assessing the various players' chances of winning: they all seem out-of-shape on the LIV Tour with poor results from the former "top players."

    It's an exhibition tour without a required performance-standard to make "the money;" the money is basically guaranteed-free. Predictable of what probably, almost everyone thought would happen?

    But most of them are "over-the-hill," anyway: Phil and Poulter-aged players aren't likely to win The Masters.

    However, it may be interesting to see how well (or not) former "Masters Champions" Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Bubba Watson play his year.

    So,
    Rory, J.T., Jon Rahm and Scotty Scheffler (currently ranked World #1); they're all playing pretty well right now (J.T. not so.much though).

    Longshot: Rickey!

    As I write this, Rory just hit a 349 yard (in-the-air) drive in Austin at the Dell match-play tournament (& a 375 yard drive the other day).


    Well, that's it!
    See you 'round the back nine of The Masters on Sunday!

    Rory seems to have gotten over his first round mind block. And, while I once said Tiger would never Major again...he may have extra motivation to pull off a miracle being that all the LIV guys are out of practice and stuffed with money such that they
    have no incentive anymore. It'd be a miracle, but at 55 to 1 odds...

    To bad there isn't some sort of Win Place Show betting you can do on golfers. I see Rory in the top 3.

    Koepka looks like he's going to win the current LIV Tournament in Orlando; now playing on "The CW" cable channel: it's a "basic" channel everyone gets, and therefore the benefit of DVRing it.; YouTube (where LIV was covered before "CW") is a clunky pain
    in the ass to use for content lasting over a few minutes.

    I forgot about that, Koepka is so petty and spiteful that it's the only thing that motivates him to concentrate enough to win a tournament.

    In other words, the media screaming that the LIV players are now weak fat cats who can no longer play at the high level required to win the Masters, may be single but significant reason to watch Koepka in the Masters; and bet him to win for good odds.
    But then, the odds are the least of it, because betting any single player against the field in golf pays-off handsomely.

    Side note: with the LIV broadcast, you can hear the super loud music they continuously play throughout the tournaments. Yet another stupid idea that they think is an improvement over the PGA tournaments; that must be why the LIV ratings hover around zero.
    I probably doubled their viewership as soon as I tuned-in today.

    I like Brooks and I know he only cares about the Majors, so I'm sure he'll put in full effort, but you gotta check his tee times, because he loses his mind if he has a slow partner or a slow group in front of him.
    I also like Dustin Johnson who can bring magic at times, but 25-1 I think is too low of odds for any LIV player. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Brooks, Dustin both make top 10. I'm also curious if any Major allows LIV players to be heckled more
    than PGA players or if outspoken PGA players like Tiger Woods gets teamed up with an LIV player and they get froggy with each other. Might be a good time to rib Tiger about how he gave his girlfriend the boot.

    I think if Rory and Patrick Reed are paired that Rory could be on instant tilt.

    It may be the first time in PGA history when two players toss their clubs aside like sticks in a hockey game, and "go at it."

    Come to think of it, Patrick Reed would be a good bet to win, as well as Rory; Reed was on the LIV leaderboard this weekend, and "currently playing well" seems to be a requirement for playing well in the Masters; it's not a tournament where players have
    a slump "break-out" all of a sudden.

    P.s., Rickie didn't quite make it. He needed to win the Texas Open this past weekend to be eligible for the Masters; he did play well, however: "top 10" IIRC.

    Ya, after almost losing his tour card last year, he's had a nice comeback with Butch Harmon reminding him how to swing again. Sounds like he'll be in the top 50 next year.

    I like Brooks and I know he only cares about the Majors, so I'm sure he'll put in full effort, but you gotta check his tee times, because he loses his mind if he has a slow partner or a slow group in front of him.
    I also like Dustin Johnson who can bring magic at times, but 25-1 I think is too low of odds for any LIV player. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Brooks, Dustin both make top 10. I'm also curious if any Major allows LIV players to be heckled more
    than PGA players or if outspoken PGA players like Tiger Woods gets teamed up with an LIV player and they get froggy with each other. Might be a good time to rib Tiger about how he gave his girlfriend the boot.
    I think if Rory and Patrick Reed are paired that Rory could be on instant tilt.

    It may be the first time in PGA history when two players toss their clubs aside like sticks in a hockey game, and "go at it."

    Come to think of it, Patrick Reed would be a good bet to win, as well as Rory; Reed was on the LIV leaderboard this weekend, and "currently playing well" seems to be a requirement for playing well in the Masters; it's not a tournament where players
    have a slump "break-out" all of a sudden.

    P.s., Rickie didn't quite make it. He needed to win the Texas Open this past weekend to be eligible for the Masters; he did play well, however: "top 10" IIRC.
    Ya, after almost losing his tour card last year, he's had a nice comeback with Butch Harmon reminding him how to swing again. Sounds like he'll be in the top 50 next year.

    It seems like Rickie could be winning now if he could only avoid those surprise, double-bogy type of holes; plays good, solid golf (320 yard drives down the middle, etc.), but then just goes off the rails for one hole, but it's one bad hole almost every
    round.

    That seems to be the problem; on a given Sunday, the leaders will be around 14 under and Ricky's typically 8 under because of it. For example: yesterday, he finished @ 8 under for the tournament with only 6 shots behind the winner. However, Ricky shot a
    bogy on two par five holes. He seems to do odd things like that consistently, and it's keeping him off the "short-list" leaderboard, consistently.

    Ya, that's golf. It's tough to make the leaderboard without playing well for 4 days. And, you see that as pro golfers get older. They might have one outstanding day giving their fans hope and then they shoot an 80 and miss the cut....or somebody
    like Tiger Woods who may make the cut, but if he's too far down the leaderboard, suddenly he'll stop caring and he'll claim back problems and WD. Somebody like Figjam(phil Mickelson) may just start farting around trying to make impossible shots once he'
    s too far out of the lead.

    So, it's probably a good idea to look at the odds a little early (quoted @ the end, below).

    10 Big Names Missing from The Masters

    My picks

    -Rory,
    motivated by beefs with players on the LIV Tour; plus The Masters is the only major tournament Rory McIlroy hasn't won.

    The LIV Tour seems to have thown-off the usual ways of assessing the various players' chances of winning: they all seem out-of-shape on the LIV Tour with poor results from the former "top players."

    It's an exhibition tour without a required performance-standard to make "the money;" the money is basically guaranteed-free. Predictable of what probably, almost everyone thought would happen?

    But most of them are "over-the-hill," anyway: Phil and Poulter-aged players aren't likely to win The Masters.

    However, it may be interesting to see how well (or not) former "Masters Champions" Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Bubba Watson play his year.

    So,
    Rory, J.T., Jon Rahm and Scotty Scheffler (currently ranked World #1); they're all playing pretty well right now (J.T. not so.much though).

    Longshot: Rickey!

    As I write this, Rory just hit a 349 yard (in-the-air) drive in Austin at the Dell match-play tournament (& a 375 yard drive the other day).


    Well, that's it!
    See you 'round the back nine of The Masters on Sunday!

    SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $8,600 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.




    Uh oh, Victor Hovland's making "runaway" noises (-6, "live stream" on the 11th at the moment); can't stand runaways, but on the other hand, it set-up some entertaining choking on Sunday.

    Sal Clitoris WD'd just now; Kevin Na is the only other player to drop-out before starting the first round.

    Huh? oh, that's Will Zalatoris? Oh, okay, thanks, lol, for the correction, I thought they said Sal Clitoris, chortle.

    Hovland is only 2 up on Xander who can get hot. Plus, Brooks is only 3 back. And, Rory is -1, which is good for him because he so often chokes in the first round of a major and then gets hot on rd 2 and rd 3. The Masters has a history on being very
    brutal to some leader with a big lead when they start playing safe and then something goes wrong....that choke sets in. You might remember Greg Norman's 6 shot lead going into Sunday. That was as painful to watch as Tin Cup hitting those water shots.

    And Phil's -1 today, and could make the cut.

    Jason day on the leaderboard; he's been tracking closely with Rickie's comeback improvement in play.

    Bad weather coming for both days of the weekend rounds that could easily turn things all around after the cut tomorrow. Very interesting with all the LIV players added-into the mix.

    Can't remember what hole...13 maybe...somewhere in vicinity of the Ben Hogan bridge there's a hole that gets very affected by the weather. Wind does a swirling pattern golfers have to track with the trees and if they get it wrong, their ball is OB. So,
    could get wild provided lightning doesn't show up and shuts things down. I see Brooks is T1.

    Yes, Hovland and Rahm are starting now, and will have to put-up -5 for the day to have some good competition going into the weekend,

    Ya, it's Koepka v Rahm for Saturday afternoon 3rd round (at the end of Rahm's 2nd round rain-"make-up" play this morning). Could be awesome match play-like as no one else is currently close.

    Uh oh, Victor Hovland's making "runaway" noises (-6, "live stream" on the 11th at the moment); can't stand runaways, but on the other hand, it set-up some entertaining choking on Sunday.
    Hovland is only 2 up on Xander who can get hot. Plus, Brooks is only 3 back. And, Rory is -1, which is good for him because he so often chokes in the first round of a major and then gets hot on rd 2 and rd 3. The Masters has a history on
    being very brutal to some leader with a big lead when they start playing safe and then something goes wrong....that choke sets in. You might remember Greg Norman's 6 shot lead going into Sunday. That was as painful to watch as Tin Cup hitting those water
    shots. on 18 at the US Open.
    And Phil's -1 today, and could make the cut.

    Jason day on the leaderboard; he's been tracking closely with Rickie's comeback improvement in play.

    Bad weather coming for both days of the weekend rounds that could easily turn things all around after the cut tomorrow. Very interesting with all the LIV players added-into the mix.
    Can't remember what hole...13 maybe...somewhere in vicinity of the Ben Hogan bridge there's a hole that gets very affected by the weather. Wind does a swirling pattern golfers have to track with the trees and if they get it wrong, their ball is
    OB. So, could get wild provided lightning doesn't show up and shuts things down. I see Brooks is T1.
    Yes, Hovland and Rahm are starting now, and will have to put-up -5 for the day to have some good competition going into the weekend,

    I heard they expect the cut to be +3 or +3
    Brooks taking charge. An amateur is in 3rd and Phil Mickelson is making a run at -4. Rory choked like hell. Even Tiger looks like he might make the cut. Turning into a heck of a Masters. Would be hilarious if Brooks and Phil go 1 and 2.....LIV

    Saturday's rained-out "round three" was completed this morning.
    At the end of round 3: Koepka -11 and Rahm -9
    No change with the leaders' scores, they both shot +1, "73s" for the round.


    Hovland made a comeback this morning with five birdies in a row; @ -8 is also "in it,"

    Patrick Cantlay (who's practically the same guy as Hovland) is next @ -6. They're 'top players" though, regardless of having no particular charisma.

    The field will be playing in pairs for the final.round this afternoon, however they will be starting-off on the 1st and 10th tees at the same time; in order to condense the total time of the round given the late start of the final.round.

    In other words, coverage starts today on CBS at 1pm as it normally would, but usually there would be players already out on the course playing, and all the groups starting off the first tee; but because of the need to complete the rest of the 3rd rd.
    this morning, they have to double-up the tee times with the "starts" off 1st and 10th holes at the same time this afternoon: so, the final group, Koepka and Rahm, should be on the 18th hole around the time as originally/normally scheduled.


    Could be another great one on the back nine today.

    Can't believe Mickelson backed into a T2 with Brooks. That's twice Brooks has been the Bridesmaid at the Masters. He's gotta win one so he'll be exempt for life. They are going to slowly get rid of any LIV player in the Major tournies.

    Lol, the first time I left-off Phil on my "favorites picks," he comes-in second.

    Raham was a pick though, and played some good, intelligent golf this week.

    Reed was also impressive, as it has to be difficult to keep plugging away at it with seemingly little chance of winning; but it paid-off though, with a 3rd place finish. The top 12 places get invited-back to play in the Masters the next year; but Reed
    has already won it, so he gets the "lifetime invite" anyway.

    Another good Masters, even though Rahm pulled-away fairly early and it wasn't a real nailbiter.

    Uh oh, Victor Hovland's making "runaway" noises (-6, "live stream" on the 11th at the moment); can't stand runaways, but on the other hand, it set-up some entertaining choking on Sunday.
    Hovland is only 2 up on Xander who can get hot. Plus, Brooks is only 3 back. And, Rory is -1, which is good for him because he so often chokes in the first round of a major and then gets hot on rd 2 and rd 3. The Masters has a
    history on being very brutal to some leader with a big lead when they start playing safe and then something goes wrong....that choke sets in. You might remember Greg Norman's 6 shot lead going into Sunday. That was as painful to watch as Tin Cup hitting
    those water shots. on 18 at the US Open.
    And Phil's -1 today, and could make the cut.

    Jason day on the leaderboard; he's been tracking closely with Rickie's comeback improvement in play.

    Bad weather coming for both days of the weekend rounds that could easily turn things all around after the cut tomorrow. Very interesting with all the LIV players added-into the mix.
    Can't remember what hole...13 maybe...somewhere in vicinity of the Ben Hogan bridge there's a hole that gets very affected by the weather. Wind does a swirling pattern golfers have to track with the trees and if they get it wrong, their
    ball is OB. So, could get wild provided lightning doesn't show up and shuts things down. I see Brooks is T1.
    Yes, Hovland and Rahm are starting now, and will have to put-up -5 for the day to have some good competition going into the weekend,

    I heard they expect the cut to be +3 or +3
    Brooks taking charge. An amateur is in 3rd and Phil Mickelson is making a run at -4. Rory choked like hell. Even Tiger looks like he might make the cut. Turning into a heck of a Masters. Would be hilarious if Brooks and Phil go 1 and 2.....
    LIV probably giving them monster bonuses if that happens.
    Ya, it's Koepka v Rahm for Saturday afternoon 3rd round (at the end of Rahm's 2nd round rain-"make-up" play this morning). Could be awesome match play-like as no one else is currently close.
    Saturday's rained-out "round three" was completed this morning.
    At the end of round 3: Koepka -11 and Rahm -9
    No change with the leaders' scores, they both shot +1, "73s" for the round.


    Hovland made a comeback this morning with five birdies in a row; @ -8 is also "in it,"

    Patrick Cantlay (who's practically the same guy as Hovland) is next @ -6. They're 'top players" though, regardless of having no particular charisma.

    The field will be playing in pairs for the final.round this afternoon, however they will be starting-off on the 1st and 10th tees at the same time; in order to condense the total time of the round given the late start of the final.round.

    In other words, coverage starts today on CBS at 1pm as it normally would, but usually there would be players already out on the course playing, and all the groups starting off the first tee; but because of the need to complete the rest of the
    3rd rd. this morning, they have to double-up the tee times with the "starts" off 1st and 10th holes at the same time this afternoon: so, the final group, Koepka and Rahm, should be on the 18th hole around the time as originally/normally scheduled.


    Could be another great one on the back nine today.
    Okay, I just saw an announcement on CBS: coverage starts at 2pm
    They probably decided to give this morning's players another hour's rest.
    Can't believe Mickelson backed into a T2 with Brooks. That's twice Brooks has been the Bridesmaid at the Masters. He's gotta win one so he'll be exempt for life. They are going to slowly get rid of any LIV player in the Major tournies.
    Lol, the first time I left-off Phil on my "favorites picks," he comes-in second.

    Raham was a pick though, and played some good, intelligent golf this week.

    Reed was also impressive, as it has to be difficult to keep plugging away at it with seemingly little chance of winning; but it paid-off though, with a 3rd place finish. The top 12 places get invited-back to play in the Masters the next year; but
    Reed has already won it, so he gets the "lifetime invite" anyway.

    Another good Masters, even though Rahm pulled-away fairly early and it wasn't a real nailbiter.
    But, it's the Masters where golfers famously choke at the end and given it had 2 LIV players in T2, that made it worthy.


    Ya, the LIV v PGA was a definite "side-drama," however much the announcers made sure not to even mention it, everyone was watching it. Phil does deserves great credit for coming-in second.
