Koepka missing his birdie putt on 18, means Tiger can bogey to win and he's in the fairway on 18. Now it's over. Wow. If Molinari had just not dunked it at either 12 or 15, he'd be at -13 and still in it. Such a shame.

This is the first time I’ve been into watching golf in about 5 years

There's a lot of good golf being played by folks who wear collars on the golf course. You've been missing out.
It’s not just because of tiger. I enjoy when there are a lot of players lumped together on the final day leaderboard of a major. Otherwise I can’t stay interested.

Feels like the clock has been turned back 15 years. Wow. Dudes totally back now.

Only going to make Tiger Hysteria even more painful to listen to. I totally respect his game but the "we love you tiger" shout outs by grown men just kills me.

I'm guess 18 is now back in play? Majors. 3 to go.

Nah. He's a regular guy now and 43. 3 to tie would be a BIG job at this point.

1. Who do you think will win? Tiger Woods
2. Who do you want to win? Tiger Woods
3. What are your plans for watching? Watch the Feature Groups online, then TV. Phone when walking the dog or in bathroom. Saturday will be difficult as the plan is to go to the Spring game and tailgate and watch the game, and tape the Golf and watch when I get home. Still thinking about this plan. Also will be texting to m brother and sister, both Tiger Fans as well, my brother has a nice place on Singer Island as a second home, and we all go to The Woods in Jupiter when visiting.
4. On what hole will the 54 hole leader give up the lead? None, Tiger will be the leader by end of Saturday, and go take that lead to the finish
5. Your favorite Masters memory.






AHEM , MUTHA FCKERRRR !!!! lol

TIGER, baby! Great to see such an athletic comeback story.

An interesting bit of trivia is that I think that this is Tiger's first victory in a major where he was trailing heading into the final day.

18 is definitely back in play if Tiger can stay healthy. Don't think he's going to dominate ever again, but I could see him winning one major every year or two for the next few years to get close to 18. Going to be fun to watch and it's great for the game to have Tiger back. Still feel bad for Molinari - hate seeing guys lose a tournament that way - those two doubles were so uncharacteristic for him. Would've been fascinating to see the ending if he hadn't made doubles, but maybe just made bogeys.

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.

The primary difference between Rutgers Football and Tiger is that we've had a longer gap (150 years come Nov. 6th) between historic victories. :)

The pairings favor Phil imo ...Phil with Kucher a great mix and Tiger with USA giant killer Ian poulter, who won't be intimidated. .not to mention Ian's pants perfectly match tigers light plum shirt lol. (Could be "Gilbert Grape" from the old "fizzies" days)
Lol.

Must say, the weather really served it up for Tiger. Not only does it soften the greens, but the threat of bad weather forced threesomes, putting him in the final group (a big advantage), allowing him to put pressure on Finau & Molinari in person, & avoid Poulter.

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.

An eagle 2 or 3 is almost as nice as a hole in one from the tee?

Sorry but no. When you get your first ace you will understand.

You may be right, but I was pretty jazzed by making a few eagles from 150-190 yards. Way more jazzed than by fairly "routine" eagles made by just putting together 2 good shots and a good putt on a standard par 5.

The double eagle is greater to a hole in one and is much more rare. I have more of them in competition (4) than holes in one's (0) including back to back days at Howell. 2nd and 11.
I have hole in ones during practice rounds but they don't count.

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.

NWS nailed it. Some light showers, but no lightning before the end of the tourney and much stronger storms since about 3:30 pm - pouring in strong t-storms for much of the past hour.

No double eagles - came close a couple of times with tap ins for eagle...

Never had a hole in one.....did come within 3/4 of an inch at i think 9th hole at fox hollow (over water) during police outing. I would have won a Cadillax Escalade P/U truck with another rotation spun it back like 10ft just remember the guy watching the hole with both his hands on his head couldnt belive it stopped les than 3/4" short
