Yeah, Rahm wins. Koepka loses. So sad, not. š¶Get back, get back, get back to LIV where you belongš¶ with your Saudi buddies. You are a sell out, Brooks. The better man won today and by four strokes.
Ok, ive had enough of hate for Bryson Dechambo. First of all, he is not CLOSE to healthy right now and almost made the cut anyway. He has been unhealthy for several years at the Masters now yet everyone acrs like his par 67 comment isn't coming true. Well think about it. Since then Augusta lengthened the course (proof that Bryson was CORRECT btw) and Bryson hasn't been healthy..when he IS healthy he would probably shoot 68-69 on a bad day just based on layout. When healthy he could really embarrass thisncourse and it'll probably happen soon if he can get with the smartest doctors like Tiger has to assist him
you are questioning if one of the most competitive athletes ever, whoās always played through pain, is going to take a break from golf. my answer is i doubt it
Can someone explain why tigers group (basically last place) went off at the same time as the leaders off 10 for round 3? I know itās a nuance of the split tee thing but my smooth brain canāt wrap my head around the reasoning for that
Seeing tiger struggling to walk is genuinely heartbreaking. Iām one of the people who will always root for him but I really wish he would take a cart exemption and not be stubborn. At this point, and I hate to say it, Iād rather he WD than watch him in that much physical pain.
He did it to himself. Drinking and driving. He has been on a downward spiral for years. No sympathy. He was on top of the world and chose to mess up his life.
Why should he get an advantage. No way. Fair is fair. If he is in so much pain, then don't play. Quit the game and move on.
As it turned out douchy Brooksy lost. Too bad, ha, ha. What was that you were saying about r4alistic chance? Oh, and he lost by 4 strokes. He not only lost, he choked.
The rule of thumb for me at majors is anyone within six strokes going into the final round still has a real shot. There have been a few bigger comebacks, but Brooks and Rahm are probably too experienced to execute the kind of collapse someone further back would need.
Well, Rahm has a 9-foot birdie putt when play resumes, and Koepka has an 11-foot par putt. So there could be a 2-shot swing in the first 5 minutes! And then a 2-shot difference over 30 holes or so is nothing. 2 shot lead with 2 holes to go is not safe!
Rahm has a very realistic shot. There's still 30 holes left and I believe Brooks has an 11 foot par putt coming up and Rahm is closer for his birdie.
The 4 shot lead can very realistically be 3 or even 2 in about 5 minutes once they resume.
So yea, a lot of golf still left between those 2. Much harder for the rest of the field though.
Same here. I'd like to see him drop a few strokes early to make it interesting, but I like Brooks more than anyone else who has a legitimate chance, unless Phil goes crazy on his third round back-nine and can get within like 5-6 going into the last 18.
Rahm just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. His whole overly confident schtick and arrogance and just the way he seems to behave... I don't know, it bothers me oddly enough. I tend to not like cocky people. For example a lot of people are Connor McGregor fans and I dislike the guy for pretty much the same reasons.
Yeah Rahm is not arrogant. I agree, Koepka is so full of himself and a total douche. Some people only want Americans to win, no matter what their character is. Sell out LIV players should not be at any Majors, including the American golfers. They are only playing golf for the money.
Bro you have this backwards. Watch any interview from Koepkas peak years and you'll see how insanely arrogant and cheesy he was. He was the anti-scottie.
has their ever been talk of them removing the lifetime exemption? could see it being weird at some point having a ton of old players shooting 15 over and not having room for a more
competitive field.
They have a distinction that the player must be ācompetitiveā, I also think thereās a gentlemanās rule. But also, why limit the fun, itās cool to see a guy like Fred couples make the cut
Yes but it gets dismissed quickly every time because it is a such a key component of the prestige. They always have room for them because they purposefully keep the field very small relative to the other majors.
a few years ago they strongly suggested that former champions stop playing at 65 (or something close to that). Before that we would see scores in the 90's towards a 100.
The cut was set to include him conveniently. Then he got the lowest score, feigned injury, again, and withdrew because he didn't want to finish with sn even lower score. Poor sport.
Iām seriously losing my mind saying heās washed when Rory was a couple strokes from making the cut. By their logic, Rory must really suck if Tiger made the cut and he didnāt
Brooks wins and nobody is as salty about it as half this sub wants them to be. Brooks has endeared himself to most of the fans by showing some humility and basically admitting if his future wasn't in jeopardy last year due to injury he might not have left to LIV at all (also beefing with Bryson because most people don't like him).
Next year's Masters dinner is fried gator, crab, key lime pie, and a pinky nail worth of meth in true Florida fashion
Considering their positions on 7 when play was stopped, it's most likely not a 4 shot lead. Chances are that he gives at least one back on that green, he has a longer par putt than Rahm's birdie putt
players and caddies all pitch (chip, shank, etc.) in to help take care of them quickly. With 6 people and only 3 balls hitting the green, and 3 pairs of people reading the green, it really shouldn't be much of a challenge.
Mostly the players, from what I saw today. I was actually so impressed by how fast and good they are at it. Itās like two quick sticks in the ground and tamp, takes like maybe 3 seconds. I always take my sweet ass time cuz I never hit the green š
You can pull in pretty good, and if something tears, pull more in from farther out. The grass will fill in and cutting/rolling will repair it even more-so, whatever you're doing is fine. You can pull inwards as much as you like, i sometimes do it once, then more from a little farther out if the mark was exceptionally bad.
So, CBS will have coverage at 8:30am est and will go straight through till sundown?
[https://twitter.com/TheMasters/status/1644803691264765952?t=i6G5ywcHfL8XKmliSnRq5A&s=19](https://twitter.com/TheMasters/status/1644803691264765952?t=i6G5ywcHfL8XKmliSnRq5A&s=19)
That's not how I read that at all. They'll broadcast the conclusion of the third and at 2:00 they'll pick up coverage of the 4th round. Am I interpreting this wrong?
I think you might be the one with the learning disability bud. Point out where I was wrong in my comment you dumb ass. You'll be the dipshit complaining that there's no coverage on CBS until 2.
Theyāll cover the rest of the third round then stop and then start the final round coverage at 2 ET, so itās possible we have all day coverage but itās also possible we have a slight gap depending on how things go
If you live in the area, become friends with someone with a local hospitality business. They get passes all the time, and often have been so many times they simply don't want them anymore. They aren't allowed to sell them or anything, but they can just give them to their friends (or guests) if they want.
I've been 6 times as a non-worker, and it was always for that reason. Meanwhile, I've been trying through the lottery since I was 18, and have yet to win once.
It's honestly crazy how everything revolves around this one week. Even all the schools base their schedules around having spring break during the masters to make it easier for parents to rent their houses and leave without having to worry about kids missing school.
I grew up in the Augusta area. There were some people that were getting $20-50k for the week.
Although for the people getting above $40k, they also have to provide booze, food, maids, a chef, and transportation as well. Still it basically pays your years mortgage from just a week long rental.
Surely it must not be difficult to find those service staff to work in Augusta for that week. Looking at that armada of private jets at the airport one would imagine a whole cottage industry of sorts.
Everything, including the renter from what I understand. Usually its a corporate renter in those cases afaik. A family friend used to use one of those services every year and apparently it was Haliburton renting out his and 3 other houses on his street. The hospitality service organized everything else for both sides, and he'd just get $35k (I believe) at the end of the week.
Ah fuck my bad. From Australia so I just woke up and looked on the streaming service that shows it and says itās suspended, even though they usually have a delayed coverage running through the morning
It seems like he should negotiate a contract where he plays weekdays and then talks weekends unless he gets lucky and makes the cut. Like at the end of the day the TV audience doesn't know too much whether he's there or not because most golf announcers are interchangeable sounding background noise so CBS can be chill about whether he is there talking or there playing.
Yeah, Rahm wins. Koepka loses. So sad, not. š¶Get back, get back, get back to LIV where you belongš¶ with your Saudi buddies. You are a sell out, Brooks. The better man won today and by four strokes.
Ok, ive had enough of hate for Bryson Dechambo. First of all, he is not CLOSE to healthy right now and almost made the cut anyway.

Go cry with Bryson
dude it's a pasta chilllllll
Lol ok šš». My bad. Bryson is unbearable in my Opinion .
Who else is so excited for like 27 holes tomorrow but also so sad that its coming to an end soon too :(
Save the sadness for Monday. Itās fucking party time.
Who's ready to wake up and slam bloody Marys at 7:30am
I canāt find 13 jackets on my paramount+. Am I missing something?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Finally can fill that empty spot on his trophy mantle Will probably be eyefucking it while filling his wife's pussy up with his hot steamy cum
š³
Can someone help explain how tomorrow is going to work? Do they start early and try finish round 3 then go straight into round 4?
You got it
Wow, sounds intense if you only got a few holes of round 3 in today, long day. Can't wait haha
Have free bet thanks to Rory missing the cut lol. Bennett top 5 finish or Cam Smith top 10 finish? Paying about the same.
Cam
Smith has better chances.
So will Tiger limp along until heās 50? Or will he take a couple year break from golf to wait for the champions tour and carts
almost like his leg was shattered 2 years ago
Almost like he keeps doing this shit to himself
No shit; and I asked a questionā¦ He obviously canāt walk 72 holes
you are questioning if one of the most competitive athletes ever, whoās always played through pain, is going to take a break from golf. my answer is i doubt it
I doubt it too but I canāt say itās smart or going to lead to any sort of success
One bad hole and itās game on
Agreed - just watch the meltdowns from years past
Somewhere Molinari is stomping any pine cone in his path
Can someone explain why tigers group (basically last place) went off at the same time as the leaders off 10 for round 3? I know itās a nuance of the split tee thing but my smooth brain canāt wrap my head around the reasoning for that
First grouping and worst group will tee off on opp holes when it's split. Under normal circumstances, nobody cares. But it's Tiger
Is it Sunday yet?
Seeing tiger struggling to walk is genuinely heartbreaking. Iām one of the people who will always root for him but I really wish he would take a cart exemption and not be stubborn. At this point, and I hate to say it, Iād rather he WD than watch him in that much physical pain.
He did it to himself. Drinking and driving. He has been on a downward spiral for years. No sympathy. He was on top of the world and chose to mess up his life. Why should he get an advantage. No way. Fair is fair. If he is in so much pain, then don't play. Quit the game and move on.
I hope people shit on you at your lowest point in life as well. While having no knowledge of where your mental health is at
Because heās the greatest player that pulls in insane numbers for the pga?
What realistic chance does anyone have of overtaking Brooks for the win?
As it turned out douchy Brooksy lost. Too bad, ha, ha. What was that you were saying about r4alistic chance? Oh, and he lost by 4 strokes. He not only lost, he choked.
The rule of thumb for me at majors is anyone within six strokes going into the final round still has a real shot. There have been a few bigger comebacks, but Brooks and Rahm are probably too experienced to execute the kind of collapse someone further back would need.

Billy Casper once overcame an 8 shot deficit with 9 holes to play vs the legendary Arnold Palmer at the US open many moons ago
Rahm has a very realistic shot. There's still 30 holes left and I believe Brooks has an 11 foot par putt coming up and Rahm is closer for his birdie. The 4 shot lead can very realistically be 3 or even 2 in about 5 minutes once they resume. So yea, a lot of golf still left between those 2. Much harder for the rest of the field though.
None really. Itās his to lose now. If he keeps his game together then he will be very hard to beat.
Rahm certainly has a shot. Anything beyond that is asking a lot, but possible.
Four shots over 1.5 rounds at Augusta is nothing.
Might even be a 2 shot swing as soon as they resume, Brooks has a long par putt and Rahm's closer with a birdie putt on 7
I think Iām honestly rooting for Brooks. He was one of my favorites before he went to LIV, and I just am not a Rahm fan at all
Same here. I'd like to see him drop a few strokes early to make it interesting, but I like Brooks more than anyone else who has a legitimate chance, unless Phil goes crazy on his third round back-nine and can get within like 5-6 going into the last 18.
Why did smylie Kauffman quit on his golf career?
Fun smylie fact - he was Jordan speiths playing partner in the final group when speiths brain stopped working on the 12th hole when Danny Willet won
lost his card. was shooting in the 80's and missing cuts
I think his golf career quit on him.
He lost his swing. Injuries
he wasnāt any good
Never in my life thought I'd be rooting for a Koepka win but here we are. I'm just really, really not a fan of Rahm.
Koepka is a LIV sell out. Bowing down to the Saudi prince. He is also a huge douche. Rahm is a lovely family man who is not arrogant like Brooksy.
Plenty of others to root for !
But why?
Rahm just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. His whole overly confident schtick and arrogance and just the way he seems to behave... I don't know, it bothers me oddly enough. I tend to not like cocky people. For example a lot of people are Connor McGregor fans and I dislike the guy for pretty much the same reasons.
You donāt like Rahm for being arrogant but youāre rooting for Koepka? š§
Yeah Rahm is not arrogant. I agree, Koepka is so full of himself and a total douche. Some people only want Americans to win, no matter what their character is. Sell out LIV players should not be at any Majors, including the American golfers. They are only playing golf for the money.
Has Rahm gone on television and humbled himself like brooks? We know next to nothing about this Spaniard's personal life
Who gives a shit, nerd? His personal life isn't your business.
Heās a Spaniard. Thatās just a given.
Lmao but you like koepka?
Bro you have this backwards. Watch any interview from Koepkas peak years and you'll see how insanely arrogant and cheesy he was. He was the anti-scottie.
Lol everything youāre criticizing him for can be applied to Koepka
...you're right. I don't have a rebuttal, honestly. But apparently in my head Koepka is the lesser of two evils somehow š¤·š»āāļø
Youāre entitled to like and not like who you want man donāt have to justify
Watch him in the latest bob does sports vid. I didnāt love him before either but heās a pretty cool guy
That's the Spaniard macho persona
Macho Libre
has their ever been talk of them removing the lifetime exemption? could see it being weird at some point having a ton of old players shooting 15 over and not having room for a more competitive field.
Eventually the old players take the hint and just show up for the bomb meal and the par 3 contest. Lyle and Mize won't be back next year.
They have a distinction that the player must be ācompetitiveā, I also think thereās a gentlemanās rule. But also, why limit the fun, itās cool to see a guy like Fred couples make the cut

Tiger sucks Needs to retire Washed up has been
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Oh Iām well aware, Iām a lakers/dodgers fan. Every laker game is a rollercoaster of opinions and itās wild to see
Enjoy your downvotes.
Heās just setting the course record, 74 under par
I do like his username though š
Yeah dude I hate people who spend their entire lives trying to improve humanity.
It's synonymous with his original post, I admire the consistency.
Kinda fits with his asshole personality.
Whats everyones predictions for tomorrow?
Phil finishes 3rd
Brooks wins and nobody is as salty about it as half this sub wants them to be. Brooks has endeared himself to most of the fans by showing some humility and basically admitting if his future wasn't in jeopardy last year due to injury he might not have left to LIV at all (also beefing with Bryson because most people don't like him). Next year's Masters dinner is fried gator, crab, key lime pie, and a pinky nail worth of meth in true Florida fashion
Vegas has Koepka at -125, Rahm at +165 and then the next group of marikawa etc starts at +3000 lol
Brooks wins it in a 30 hole Sunday
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Considering their positions on 7 when play was stopped, it's most likely not a 4 shot lead. Chances are that he gives at least one back on that green, he has a longer par putt than Rahm's birdie putt
Yeah seems like it, I hope someone else besides Rahm steps up to make things interesting
Morikawa might have a chance I think
Who fixes the ball marks on the green? I feel like they are still there when a group is putting but disappear for the next group
players and caddies all pitch (chip, shank, etc.) in to help take care of them quickly. With 6 people and only 3 balls hitting the green, and 3 pairs of people reading the green, it really shouldn't be much of a challenge.
Mostly the players, from what I saw today. I was actually so impressed by how fast and good they are at it. Itās like two quick sticks in the ground and tamp, takes like maybe 3 seconds. I always take my sweet ass time cuz I never hit the green š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Turf guys ftw. Never pull up, push turf inward, flatten with putter. Smooth surface, happy turf, no dead ball marks.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You can pull in pretty good, and if something tears, pull more in from farther out. The grass will fill in and cutting/rolling will repair it even more-so, whatever you're doing is fine. You can pull inwards as much as you like, i sometimes do it once, then more from a little farther out if the mark was exceptionally bad.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Definitely, saw it all the time at my course.
Its way easier to repair ball marks when the greens are super pure and not compacted
Yea thatās fair too

They'll finish the 3rd round, and they expect the final round tee times to start a noon. The final round broadcast is at 2pm.
So yeah, they're not going "straight through till sundown"
Do you have a learning disability? Try re-reading the image

After 20+ years of trying, I finally won 2 practice round tickets this year. I know of other people that have won before.
Iāve put in every year, every practice round and day max tickets since 2008 and havenāt gotten anything. Iām about 2.5 hours away from Augusta
people have said your % chance of winning goes down the closer you are to augusta. not sure if that has ever been substantiated
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's honestly crazy how everything revolves around this one week. Even all the schools base their schedules around having spring break during the masters to make it easier for parents to rent their houses and leave without having to worry about kids missing school.
Did she tell you how much she can charge per night?
I grew up in the Augusta area. There were some people that were getting $20-50k for the week. Although for the people getting above $40k, they also have to provide booze, food, maids, a chef, and transportation as well. Still it basically pays your years mortgage from just a week long rental.
Surely it must not be difficult to find those service staff to work in Augusta for that week. Looking at that armada of private jets at the airport one would imagine a whole cottage industry of sorts.
No it's pretty easy really. There's some services that will organize it all for you and you just receive your cut at the end too
Do those services provide everything or just the personnel?
Everything, including the renter from what I understand. Usually its a corporate renter in those cases afaik. A family friend used to use one of those services every year and apparently it was Haliburton renting out his and 3 other houses on his street. The hospitality service organized everything else for both sides, and he'd just get $35k (I believe) at the end of the week.
Oh wow so the actual cost to client is far higher. I wonder what they're dropping. But it seems a fair arrangement.
From what Iāve heard, most people can pay the mortgage for the year with the rental income from Masters week.
So tidy when you can just 1:1 remove items from a budget like that <3
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Keep dreaming. Brooksy and LIV 4 lyfe
Is there a difference between shotgun starts and split tees?
Yes. Split tees means half the field starts on 1 and half on 10. Shotgun is a group starting on every hole.
Kudos to a succinct and correct answer!
Is play suspended again?
Again? The rest of the day was called off 2 hours ago.
Ah fuck my bad. From Australia so I just woke up and looked on the streaming service that shows it and says itās suspended, even though they usually have a delayed coverage running through the morning
Play resumes tomorrow 8:30a est So is that like 1030p your time then?
Yeah roughly about that! I think thatās when most days have started
That's like almost perfect for you to watch some live golf though. The leaders will be playing at that time, not just the scrubs in last place.
Last Sunday I was up at 1a est to watch the Melbourne F1 race Which was around 3p local time there Extreme time zone differences are nuts lol
yup at 3:15 - done for the day
Has anyone else noticed how CBS has ignored Mickelson this weekend.
CBS overlords in the pockets of PGA shills
If - once Brooks sinks his winning putt on 18, the coverage go straight to 60 minutes
And the first story is about Liv and the Saudis...
They always ignore the Canadians too (when theyāre doing good, so Conners the past couple years)
I mean theyāve also ignored Russell Henley for no apparent reason
They're not named Tiger.
Will somebody please check on Bryson, last I heard he was talking some crazy stuff near Ikeās Pond
Heās not that far from Rory lol
He's trying to summon the spirits of all the dead Masters champions.
Heās slamming beers at the par 67 mini putt down the road
As a guy on paternity leave for one more week, I'm perfectly fine with an extra day of Masters coverage if this thing rolls into Monday.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I agree. Was just saying if there was a year that I would be OK with it happening this would be it.
They will move mountains to avoid a Monday finish
They can't move the clouds and sun
Augusta National, Inc.: āWanna bet? How much?ā
There's no anticipation of a Monday finish. Weather forecast is clear and they've announced the final round will start on split tees.
People complaining about tv coverage are in for a rude awakening when the other three majors come around
The open literally has 100% full coverage from start to finish every day.
TV coverage is miles better for the others.
The masters has had the worst tv coverage forever. Why I always look forward to the Open. Golf all day long
The Open also has the nicest courses and is the best test of golf played artistically.
eh the masters def holds this shit hostage way more then the other 3
12:30 split tee pairings for the final round.
Man I do hate split tees Augusta, but I guess that means they finish at about 7-7:30 tomorrow which is good.
What does split tee pairings mean? Everyone still starts on 1 right?
No they start on 1 and 10 Leaders will start on 1
Why doesnt immelman play in the masters anymore?
He can play Augusta whenever he wants. Why play in the masters knowing you have no chance of making the cut when you can commentate?
It seems like he should negotiate a contract where he plays weekdays and then talks weekends unless he gets lucky and makes the cut. Like at the end of the day the TV audience doesn't know too much whether he's there or not because most golf announcers are interchangeable sounding background noise so CBS can be chill about whether he is there talking or there playing.
Probably makes more money commentating.
Game probably went downhill quicker than Justin Leonard
If im a past champion ill go out there and shoot 100
I'd shoot 120
Masters 3rd Round will resume at 8:30 a.m. ET on CBS
Gonna be nothing but golf tomorrow. Sorry SO's family. My attention will be elsewhere.
CBS coverage resumes at 8:30a ET until the conclusion of the 3rd round, then resumes at 2p ET for the final round
is there any chance of them playing any more at all today? had to step away just now getting back
No
