@canefan Decent haggis is bloody nice.

Rather have that than some of the American fast food style shit detailed.

It's basically sausage right?

I ate at St John in London years ago, ordered faggots and peas which was delicious (offal meatballs wrapped in caull fat)

It didn't have a lot of crazy spice, but was well seasoned, and panfried with a nice sauce. So in haggis all of the ingredients are there for a tasty dish. I am not sure how they season it, but the boiling probably doesn't make for a particularly pleasing mouth feel

No Tiger & no Vijay Singh this year, both have injuries.

JK

As part of your masters buildup, this is a good watch.

MacDazzler

Going to back a new winner this year.

Either Schauffele or Aberg.

My prediction is that Rory McIlroy will finally get to have that Green Jacket around his shoulders.

I've gone Rory too. I dont usually but think the time is now

@JK I'd like Rory to win too, but reckon it'll be someone known, but less talked about (Fleetwood, Min Woo Lee, Morikawa type)

As always, I'd love for Adam Scott to win, but think his time has passed.

MajorRage

@taniwharugby I think Min Woo Lee has a real shot as well

given his form, you kinda have to think, if not this year, then probably never

The problem with Rory in recent years is that the higher the expectation, the more chance that he will shoot 79 in the first round.

@KiwiPie I think the whole LIV/PGA thing has been a millstone around his neck, and with that less of a thing, hopefully it means he has been able to focus more on playing golf than the peripheral shit.

Speaking of the LIV crew, Bryson and Brooks in with a shout I reckon.

If he doesn't have a good first round it's just not going to happen for him

Joaquin Niemann of Chile and Aaron Rai of England are the early leaders on 3 Under.

Aaron Rai on 4 under through 9.

Strong start by Scheffler. Scottie laying down a marker for the rest of the pack.

Some world class talents at the top of leaderboard already. This is hotting up very nicely.

JK

Some pretty good scoring so far. Rose leading at -6 thru 12.

At the other end of the field, poor Nick Dunlap (2024 rookie of the year), has s shot a 90!

A shootout over the weekend between Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Scottie Scheffler would be 🔥.

How does a top player do that? Even Langer in his final ever Masters managed a 74!

Dunlap with not a single birdie - a triple bogey, 4 double bogeys and 7 regular bogeys - just 6 pars. My golfing insight helps me predict that he won't make the weekend
