Finau is legit. Yeah he’s got big names around him but I’m not counting him out by any means.
I wouldn't go that narrow. I think everyone down to 8 under is really in it. Including Finau and Kocher.
This is as tough to predict as it gets. You've got a ton of talent bunched up within 4 or 5 strokes, earlier start, three 'paired' up, potential to finish at the 9th, inclement and changing weather conditions....
He doesn't need another 64. With the forecast even par round can win tomorrow. It's going to be a very interesting day.
I just think he’ll comeback to earth and shoot E or +1 vs the field avg tomorrow. It will be a grind tomorrow. Better suited for the experienced players.
Congrats. That's big. I guess your buying next time we play!
Congrats. I hope you bought your companions a drink.
Not only was it all 9, I three putted the 6th hole on a 15 foot uphill birdie putt by being way to aggressive. After a birdie at 7 to get back to -3, I lipped out on 8 and 9 from inside 12 feet. One of my regulars was like...you almost shot 29 or 30!!!!!! I was in a weird like trance. I saw it and hit it. Almost slow motion.
Anything over 100 yards is a hole in one to be celebrated as INCREDIBLE.
Had a annual plan to meet my good tailgate friend for a great afternoon of golf, beers and cigars. Sucks but I'll be watching at work.
If the line of t-storms to the west holds together and proceeds at its current rate, the line would hit Augusta in the 1 pm range, although the first part of the line is weaker and could dissipate according to a couple of models. Stronger storms are likely to hit in the 2-3 pm range - likely a close call on finishing by then. Also, it's not expected to be continuous t-storms after 3 pm, so there could be some breaks in the precip to allow players to finish today, if the storms hit before everyone is done.Had a charity "gala" tonight up in West Orange (I did bid on and win an awesome picture of Bill Murray plotting to take down the gopher in Caddyshack), which started at 5:30 pm, so I missed most of the golf today and just finished watching it on tape - it didn't disappoint. Three 64's, including one by Finau that I thought would've had him in the lead, but Molinari is a friggin' machine out there - when was the last time he had a bogey? He's really going to be tough to beat, even by Tiger playing well (and finally making all his putts under 10 feet) and he did beat Tiger last year at the Open when they were paired together.
The wild card tomorrow is the weather, as the forecast from 4 days ago is looking like it'll be pretty accurate with respect to the risk for afternoon thunderstorms. I understand moving the tee times up and going with threesomes off of both tees, but I hate not having the traditional Sunday afternoon/evening at Augusta. And probably even more importantly for the players, it's looking like the winds will be up for much of the day with ~15 mph winds and some gusts to 25-30 mph possible (although winds are really hard to predict accurately). If we get that kind of wind without any rain and some tough pins, I think 1 or 2 under could be a good score tomorrow.
The whole bar. Damn 32 is playing. I actually played like crap except for that Ace.
