If you seen his game you would understand that is was nothing short of a miracle.
Cherish it. A few thousand rounds of golf and no aces - been inches away several times, but never put it in. Have had three full irons from the fairway go in for eagle, though, which is almost as nice. It's obviously skill to put the ball close, but it requires a little bit of luck for it to go in.
Played our usual Sunday morning soccer until about 10:45 am and just caught up on the DVR to live action. Pretty sure we'll get a delay by about 1 pm, although there's still a chance that the initial line of storms will dissipate (especially with regard to lightning, which is all that matters) before hitting Augusta - going to be a close call.
Molinari finally showing he's human with that bogey and some loose shots, but his par saves have been amazing. Tiger within 1, as is Koepka now and Finau putting for eagle. Gonna be a fun ride...

So torn. Spent so many years rooting hard against Tiger, as I was a big Phil fan and he just seemed like such a dick (well-documented and I have 2 friends who have direct stories of him being a jerk). However, he truly seems humbled by what he's been through physically and emotionally over the last 5+ years and appears to be a changed guy (if still pretty intense), so I'm now half rooting for him to win, partly because of the spectacle of it all and what it means to golf to have Tiger on the major prowl again.
I'm in about the same boat. Thousands of rounds. Hit a par three pin years ago for a 3 inch tap in. Three Eagles but all on par 5s. It's all luck for a hole in one.

Same. Not a Tiger fan. But if he wins this it's a historic story and I won't hate it. Tiger's still a jerk though.
Not sure why so many people root for him. I guess they're all front runners. As a Rutgers fan I never understood that kind of thinking.
Yeah, that was a great description. He's just so consistent and his putting has been unreal.
I’ve been playing over 30 years. Closest I ever came was an inch or less at oak ridge ( think it was the 11th hole ) My daughter who starting playing in 9th grade got a hole in one at the state tournament her senior year (2017) Wish I was there to see that
Bryson got one today and they said it was his first ever. Imagine they mean first in a tournament.
Koepka and Poulter both with the dunk and double on 12. Ouch. Wonder if the leaders on the tee about to tee off on 12 know that...
Holy crap, Molinari dunks his tee shot!! It's the one thing you just can't do on the back nine at Augusta with the lead and I never thought he'd do it. Ever. Wow. Game on for everyone at -10 or better now.
Edit - and Finau too!!

Ya know, having hit a hole in one recently (Did I mention that?) I recommend a hole in one on that par three instead of putting it in the water.
You better be referring to mine and not those easy ones on 16 at the Masters.
I was actually referring to mine last week. Could never time the windmill perfectly but I finally nailed it.
