Yup fucking brutal.
 
Here are tomorrow's tee times and pairings? Fade Gonzalo? Gotta be intimidated by playing with Tiger right?

Bubba Watson (9:25 a.m.) -- Watson, playing alone, as someone on Twitter pointed out, maybe he should use the hovercraft.
Thorbjorn Olesen and Tianlang Guan (9:55 a.m.) -- Great international pairing here, would be amazing to see Guan move up the leaderboard.
Nick Watney and Phil Mickelson (10:25 a.m.) -- You know Mickelson is going to try to shoot a 62 on Saturday, should be great theater.
Matt Kuchar and Bill Haas (12:45 p.m.) -- Two guys who should be higher up the leaderboard than they are.
Steve Stricker and Dustin Johnson (12:55 p.m.) -- Johnson butchered the back nine on Friday but he can go as low as anyone, and he's only five back.
Rory McIlroy and Charl Schwartzel (1:25 p.m.) -- Some great Masters history in this group as Schwartzel took advantage of McIlroy's 2011 collapse.
Bernhard Langer and Sergio Garcia (1:35 p.m.) -- How about Langer in contention at 2 under and age 55?
Tiger Woods and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (1:45 p.m.) -- Woods has been playing better than his 3-under score would tell you. Can he produce results on Saturday?
Justin Rose and K.J. Choi (1:55 p.m.) -- Two guys who are so solid on this course. Wouldn't surprised to see either of them in one of the final two pairings on Sunday.
David Lynn and Lee Westwood (2:05 p.m.) -- The two Englishmen playing together for the first time at Augusta.
Adam Scott and Jason Dufner (2:15 p.m.) -- Not a lot of excitement from these two, but if I was picking a pairing to follow, they might be it.
Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker (2:25 p.m.) -- Snedeker wants this one badly, Furyk needs it badly (after his 2012 struggles). Can either one make a charge?
Marc Leishman and Angel Cabrera (2:35 p.m.) -- Will probably be the least popular of the final pairings, but two pretty outstanding stories here.
Jason Day and Fred Couples (2:45 p.m.) -- Couples winning would be the sports story of the year.
 
Ummm Tiger might be DQ'd!?? apparently fucked up his drop

I've been following this story all night -- gonna be a close call, but I think Tiger is going to claim that he saw the ball come directly back at him and played the option of dropping on the line of the flag and point of entry -- the video says differently though, but the sun was in his eyes and maybe he missed the line -- as long as he thought it was the right line, that is all that matters. HOWEVER, what a lot of people are saying is that he took the "stroke and distance" option, which would have required him to play his next shot as nearly as possible to where his previous shot was played, and he admitted in an interview that he "went back 2 yards" -- that is a violation of the "nearly as possible" requirement. Crazy stuff.
 
LOL. They enforce a rarely used and somewhat arbitrary rule on the kid from China and now Tiger finds himself in a similar situation. This shit is great for the drama of te tournament

And while I think he probably should have been DQ, it's funny to hear all these broadcasters call him out on an "obvious" rules violation. No one said anything at the time yesterday though...
 
no way should he WD... the committee made a ruling before he finished a round, was with a rules official, so he signed a correct card to his knowledge.

Then after the interview with his statement of 2 yards, they enforced a 2 storke penalty...

Media needs to move on and concentrate on the final 2 rounds of the first major of the year...
 
Its funny, Id like to see how many rules violations Faldo made in judgements, before HD tv followed every shot and balls were under a microsope and every shot was tweeted out and in front of millions of people in seconds, not via a rotary phone line...

times change, they made a rules adjustment in 33, and this came into play here IMO
 
Ask Craig Stadler. He got dinged in 1987 by a viewer.

Tiger ain't above the rules. He screwed up on the drop rule, the penalty is deserved. DQ or not apparently is at the discretion of Augusta's committee, so be it.

He'll either shoot 31 or 37 on the front, depending on how Voss was last night.
 
officials reviewd, made a decision... scorecard was signed off of that decision... no DQ, but penalty which should have been assesed at time...

time to golf
 
i didn't get on the masters site until a couple minutes ago. any confirmation bubba wasn't using that thing?
 
So lucky

Prob shoulda been DQ based on the rule book

No, he's unlucky.

Every Tiger shot gets broadcast, so if this happens to him it will be picked up. If this was 95% of the other players in the tournament that get a handful of shots shown then this wouldn't be an issue because the whole series of events wouldn't have been shown. It means that decisions based on TV broadcasts are not a level playing field

He is also judged on this because he is Tiger Woods, a polarising figure. If this happened to marc Leishman most peoples opinion would change.

Finally, nobody has mentioned that a result could be changed because a viewer called in and pointed out what happened. That is the biggest issue here. So, every other sport we accept the ruling on the field but not in golf? What happens next, the Superbowl gets changed after full time because a viewer calls in and says the refs got a call wrong? The narcy viwers need to shut the fuck up and get a life
 
Rose was at 4 under at one point, pretty sickening. I think hes lost faith in his putter. Needs to birdie a couple coming in.

Going to pay to find out if Adam Scott can show up in a big 4th round.

Jason Day +120 over Adam Scott
 
i am on board law with that wager. gl to us.

also:

stricker -115 v fowler
olesen -130 v castano
kuchar -115 v sned
cabrera -140 v leishman

more on day than anything as i love the fade adam scott angle. also would make cabrera a bit higher but playing all for the same. day over scott is a good looking bet imo
 
took rory over phil today... rory has had solid final rounds no matter the position when he's played in them...

gonna let my day group play go as the day vs scott wager...

Gl today
