The Masters

[Eagle11]

The greatest week in golf. I am ready to go back and walk this course again.

Who are you picking to win it?

I will stick with Scheffler. I also like Ludvig Aberg this week too

McElroy finally breaks through.

Seems like ESPN is making a fool of themselves again. I am following it on my phone and apparently ESPN is showing little or nothing of Bryson DeChambeau, just because he plays on the LIV tour. That's what social media is claiming. DeChambeau is one stroke off the lead and alone in 2nd place! Meanwhile they flood their coverage with people who are not even making the cut!    

I hate sorry ESPN. They always have politics going on. If you can't cover someone in 2nd place who could easily win the Masters you are FAILING, espn.

ESPN did not start their broadcast coverage until 1pm Central. Bryson teed off at 9:15am. He only had about 3 holes left to play when they came on air.

Same as McElroy. He had teed off early yesterday and only had a couple of holes left when they came on air.

They periodically showed highlights of those two's second round.

Their coverage in the afternoon is of the players who teed off in the afternoon. Same as Thursday. McElroy and DeChambeau got plenty of coverage on Thursday when their play was in the ESPN broadcast window.

OK I'll take your word for it. However, I am reading lots on social media. The little bit I did get to see live (maybe 15 min.) had zero on BD, not even any replays. They didn't even say the word "Bryson" that I heard. Its hard to believe that even with 3 holes left, they could not show something. Maybe they did but I never trust espn. Too much politics.

McIlroy picks up 5 strokes in 5 holes…..leading by 3 at -11. Dechambeau at -8

Should be a good final round.

Have any of y'all been to Augusta National? If so, what really stood out about your walk around the course that maybe you don't get watching on TV?

For me it was Hole #10. We stood behind the tee box and watched 2 groups tee off and you can tell there is an elevation drop. We wondered to a few different spots then ended up at #10 green. We looked back at the tee box and it looked like we were looking up a mountain. Elevation changes at that course are more severe than the tv shows. Also, concession prices. One place that could get away with charging crazy amounts and they don't.

Been twice. 1994 and 1999

TV does not do the elevation changes any justice.

#10 for sure but #9 and #18 are pretty up hill.
