It's too esoteric I suppose.

Daly, Beem, Ben Curtis, Keegan Bradley, Shaun Michell and Paul Lawrie.

Pin positions on 10 & 11 won't be a fun start for those starting on the back.

Sold the TV in my office already, so bummed I won't get to have golf on as I work all day. That was a constant during the majors for me.

If sunset in Augusta, GA is 5:30 p.m. this time of year how the fuck are they going to be able get everyone through the course today and tomorrow if people are still yet to tee off today?

ETA: There wasn't a delay today, was there? If so, then I get why people would still be yet to tee off.

Read this story in the Times:

Augusta’s Green Jackets: For Winners, Members (and Buyers) Only
Christopher O’Brien is not a member of Augusta National Golf Club, much less a Masters champion. He once played the course “well enough to enjoy it, not well enough to brag about it.”

But at his home in Greenwich, Conn., a mannequin stands shrouded in one of Augusta National’s famed green jackets, customarily draped on victors of the 86-year-old Masters tournament, one of golf’s four majors, and club members. He purchased it at auction for less than $17,000.

Hmmm. I was under the impression that with the exception of the WInner keeping his for a year, they didn't leave the premises even for regular members. (I don't have a sub to read the article, so it may reference how that happened)

There will likely be finishers on saturday morning due to this. ANd I expect they will again use two tees for Saturday's round. With only 50 players making the cut it will be easy enough to get 18 in and be ready for the final round sunday.

OK, that makes sense then. I figured it was gonna be tight even with no delays because of the early sunsets this time of year.

Gary Player took his first one to South Africa, and never brought it back. When the Masters people called and asked about it, he said they were welcome to come and get it. Seve Ballesteros did pretty much the same thing.

The didn't start giving them out to winners until 1949, but they sent jackets to all the winners prior to that. That's where some of the auction ones come from.

Looks like the last groups made it to 7 holes. I’m not sure how much more you can squeeze in tomorrow beyond a full 18. Saturday will be interesting. At least the bad weather is gone.

Yeah they could potentially start the early guys today as soon as the tees are clear but it’s that whole early/late thing that they try to do so likely that the guys finishing tomorrow will run it back quickly.

Don't want to jinx it, but y'all can sweat it with me -- I have $20 on DJ at 10-1 to win and considerably more than that on him at +130 to finish in the top ten.

I got him at +800 and a boost. 20 pays 240 I think? Would be a nice hit after missing the under and the TNF ML last night. Colts looked good!

Struggling to decide the best way to watch using Master.com. the Picture in picture is nice but a bit overwhelming. Plus i having a hard time with the my group option.

Just went back on and saw DeChambeau lose a ball on 3. Wonder if it is easier to lose a ball without fans out there.
