Tommy Watson still in the hunt, bless him

Nice form. Keep him going. My son played all kinds of sports then settled on golf. We're headed to Jeckyll Island this weekend for a tournament!

It's like a little vacation for us.

Speith almost hitting the record. Day with a smoking finish.

He doesn't even need to blow up. If he shoots 72-73 tomorrow anyone who has a legitimate shot of making the cut can still win the tournament.

Hes been consistently playing well though, basically, 3 rounds of even par or better win him the tourney, imo

Why? You think -8 wins the Masters? If it plays as toothless as it did today, you'll have a dozen guys beating that score. It's 1 day. Doesn't mean shit.


Now, when Kaymer goes out at the US Open and opens up a 7 shot lead or whatever, different ballgame. But even then there were 3 more rounds. Long way to go.

A the first 37Forever get together we held a tourney.. Art Still showed up and played.

Good times!

It just rarely plays out that way. I think -12 probably wins it, but that's just a few decent rounds from Spieth. Noone is throwing up 64 tomorrow.

There's just something awesome about watching the Masters...

My favorite Major.

They should invite Tiger to open the tourney next year with Arnie, Jack and Gary

I think I'm becoming a Spieth fan. He such a well grounded young man and his relationship with his handicapped sister is probably part of that. Wonderful kid.

In the last 30 years, only 1 first round leader has won the Masters. Immelman in 2008.

I don't know how I feel about Spieth. I like him, but I don't find myself overly pulling for him. He is so solid as a person and a player that it's almost a little boring, although that's not really true because I enjoy watching him play. I don't know how to explain it. Not really fair to him, because I know if he was arrogant like Billy Horschel I would be all over him for it. And his relationship with his sister is 100% win. I do like him, but I don't find myself really rooting for him like I do with Kuchar and Fowler. Maybe because it's just a forgone conclusion that at some point he will be holding a ton of hardware.

Kid has been pretty calm overall. He has, however, referenced his blowing of the lead last year. I like that he talks about it, but if he puts up a funky score tomorrow, or even more so when they make the course hard on Sat, he is going to start feeling it again.

I like picked Day and Spieth in my pool so I'm certainly sticking with them after the first round as my prediction. Watson, though, is in a nice position with having the attention off him right now. Phil has nothing to lose either. He always has attention, but nothing was expected of him this week. As big as Phil is, with Spieth going, Tiger back, and Rory doing his awkward gate around the course, he really could just be quietly there in the end. Again, quietly respective to Phil's normal attention.

Watching the Masters with its blooming flowers always pisses me off that the move the Players to May. The March timeframe was perfect for the azaleas blooming. Plus it was the mark of Spring.

Oh well. Play on.
