He loves a good second place, does Westwood. Awful luck from the tee shot on the 18th though. 

[Brownie]

The last few weeks on the PGA Tour have been brilliant viewing to be fair.

Westwood leading on hole 17 at Sawgrass here in the Players. How many times have we seen him lead then fuck it right up. Funny seeing his caddy (His new missus he jibbed his bird for) carrying his clubs behind him. He's got it fucking made that fella. 

[Bjornebye]

Birdies the famous 17th to take a two shot lead only to shank into the rough on the 18th.

Westwood 1 behind after Dustin misses a sitter.

Tied up

Westwood just about keeping it together.

[Code]

Could not bother this weekend after Hovland missing the cut. 

[Charles Penrose]

Westwood has fluffed his lines again. How predictable in a major (event). 

[Captain Turdseye]

This isn’t a major, although the point stands. 
 

He should have won last week as well.

JT went and got it. Westwood was treading water.

[Captain Turdseye]

Westwood trying to brave it out there in that interview but he’s obviously devastated. 

[TheHowieLama]

TBF he is playing his ass off a couple years south of 50. Impressive.

[Brownie]

His shot on 17 was a disgrace in all honesty. One behind and he plays to the centre of the green which leaves a treacherous putt with the pin location they had.

 

Meanwhile, JT, whose stock shot is a fade, steps up and hits a big draw on a really tough tee shot on 18. He got a break with it but he deserved it for having the balls to face up to the challenge like that.

 

Westwood then suddenly gets brave 18 but it was too late, he needed to do that on 17.

[Captain Turdseye]

There are many different ways to lose for Westwood. Missed the cut last week and just had this happen to him in a play-off.

So, Spieth just won for the first time since the 2017 Open.

 

With his recent return to form (his shortgame has been fantastic of late), I think he'll be in the hunt for a second green jacket this week.

 

Who's your Masters favourite?

Can’t see past Dustin again tbh. Justin Rose is worth an e/w bet at 66/1

What was said as it sounded like a studio? And what was so funny?

[TheHowieLama]

This has made me hate Hovland more.

Better version here.

Anybody got any streams for the golf?

Yeah. There’s absolutely loads on my IPTV. 

 

 

+5 is the cut line and even at that there’s some big, big names going home early this weekend. Phil Mickelson leading after two rounds!

[Vincent Vega]

I’ve enjoyed watching this, it’s a proper challenge with the wind coming in off the Atlantic. Reminds me of Pebble Beech in California where the wind comes in off the Pacific instead. Too many American courses are set up for the big hitters, but this course requires players to use their nouse. The Europeans and South Africans seem to be dealing with it better than a lot of American golfers as they grow up playing on windy courses on the coast.
 

My two bets are well out of it, Speith and Rose. I’d like to see Mickelson win again at 50, but I fancy Koepka to get over the line as he’s a major winning machine.

[Captain Turdseye]

Moving day. There’s every chance the leaderboard looks completely different this time tomorrow. A lot will depend on the weather forecast, with the leaders obviously going off later.
