Masters pre-tourney/in-tourney betting and discussion thread

[BigJay]

so far he is minus one I would say for him to have a shot. He’s gotta get to -3 today maybe -2.

With the scoring today coach I’d say he needs to get to -5

Rory break of the day

On famous par-4 number 12 hooks his iron shot into the thick shrbbery well back of the hole.

Somehow bounces out and he’s probably better than 50-50 to save par. Would have absolutely been looking at double or triple if not for the break

So that makes up for one of his mistakes from yesterday.

Hopefully. 4 footer for par now. He makes it could be big

Center of the cup for 3 on 12. Absolutely should have been 4 or likely 5 or worse

Needs to play the par fives on back nine two-under and maybe pick up one more bird along the way without losing any

If so Rory should be right back in the tournament headed into the weekend if his final card reads 67 or 66 today

Wind is supposed to pick up with gusts into the 20s this afternoon.

Might be a factor with guys like Scottie teeing off now.

Rory from the pine straw at par-5 13th

He thinks he hits it in the water

Lands just over and now he has a 12-footer for eagle and four “3s” to start his back nine

Rory’s reaction is priceless

Just found the replay of the approach on 13

Rory tee shot deep in the woods on 14

Goes up over the pine trees and knocks it 15 feet away for birdie

We’re really seeing something here on this back 9!

so far rory is minus one I would say for him to have a shot. He’s gotta get to -3 today maybe -2.

Rory -6 now after birdie on 15

-6 for the day. Two back

Putting on a clinic on the back 9

Rory solid 8-footer for par on 16 after missing the green by 15 yards on the par-3

Rory is in perfect position heading in tomorrow. It’s hard to believe after yesterday.

If not for last 4 holes yesterday he’d be running away with the tournament

Rory officially live tourney favorite as Scottie falters
