The Masters

[VladimirIlyich]

The snobbery of golf is unbelievable at times.

 

This was my original point about the Masters tournament.

The Yanks can actually out snob the British and thats some achievement.

 

The telly coverage of the Masters is pretty awful compared to the other Majors.

Jamie Donaldson hole-in-one on the 6th

All Each Way.

 

Luke Donald - 35/1

Jamie Donaldson 200/1

Matt Kuchar 35/1

Louis Oost 30/1

Do the yanks show this from 6 in the morning the way the BBC do for the Open?

[RobbieOR]

The Americans only get to see what we get over here Robbie, those restrictions apply to all TV, the pictures we get are those shown by CBS Sports.

 

As for Tiger's prospects, I can see him having to hit a lot of his second balls from the pine needles as is still looking pretty wayward and has been really struggling with his driver. His putting looks phenomenal however and he is brilliant at getting himself out of trouble if he does find the trees.

 

I might have little each way bets on Charl Schwartzel who has been looking impressive recently and is a former winner, and Matt Kuchar who lives in Georgia and will get massive support from the locals. It would be brilliant to see Tiger and Rory go head to head on the final day though.

 

Never mind, this answers it.

 

Cheers.

So Westwood drops one at the 16th and finishes -2 for the day, tied 4th.

 

That will do Lee, keep it up lad.

[TheHowieLama]

go to masters.com -- you can watch a bunch of different feeds

Fowler -3.

Fowler -3.

 

Good lad 66/1 him.

[TheHowieLama]

Two doubles and an eagle on that card.

Garcia 5 under - no bogeys, round of the day

[RobbieOR]

Freddie Couples always seems to start off well. Only missed the cut once in 25 years. That's a great record.

[Red Banjo]

I would love to see a 35 year old Jack Nicklaus playing in this now, see how he gets on. The way he talks about the game is on a different level to any other golfer. Worra guy.

 

Fowler is looking good here. The shit haired tit.

66/1

 

He can look like Monty for all I fucking care.

[Mathewbet1]

I got 5 quid on sergio Garcia @ 70/1. He's 12-1 now!

[Red Banjo]

Garcia will fuck it up tomorrow, of that you can be sure.

[lifetime fan]

I'd be laying Garcia tonight.

 

His putting is worse than Westwood.

I think Nicklaus would have done pretty well as he finished 6th in 1998 aged 58.

I still can't understand people who claim Woods is the best ever.

Directv has special coverage for this so I'm fairly certain between them and the ESPN coverage you can watch it live from first shot, but then there is coverage on whichever local broadcast corp affiliate is carrying it usually starting at 330 EST. Not sure if that's there for the first two rounds though but definitely for Saturday and Sunday.

 

The market for Golf has gotten considerably larger here than it was when I was a child but it's still not near as big as it is overseas from what I understand. The Masters is by far the most heavily covered golfing event of the year for us though.

I invested a pound of my hard earned money on him leading after the 1st round at 125/1. Close but no cigar. Like you say, he always starts well here.

[Red Banjo]

Garcia doing a Garcia here, +2 after 4.

Direct TV coverage is the Masters.Com feeds.

Is that Dustin Johnson? I like him for each way but not to win it.
