US Masters
-
Horror start for Danny alright.
-
Gusty winds out there again with most players going backwards, except Speith at this point, with a 3 stroke lead over Matsuyama
-
Former winner, 58 year old Bernhard Langer birdies 13,14 and 15 to get himself into a tie for 2nd.<br><br>
Rory really struggling now. <br><br>
Lee has grabbed back 2 of the 5 he dropped early on but still well off the pace -
Love hearing the chat between player and caddie
-
<p>Spieth bringing himself back to the field here! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bogey 17 and got a tricky putt for bogey on 18, odds to win jumped from $1.55 to $1.75, what will the be is he misses this one</p> -
<p>Ouch, rough finish for Spieth: bogey-double, has a 1 stroke lead over Smylie Kaufman at -2, Langer, Matuyama -1 and Day and Dustin lurking at even.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spieth dropped out to $2, which is pretty decent odds now I'd say, was 1976 last time someone went wire to wire and Spieth now lead the Masters 6 straight rounds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rory 5 back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lee has dropped right off the pace with a 79.</p>

<p>Still Spieth's to lose IMO. Can't see Kaufman or Langer challenging, and I'm not sure on Matsuyama. Would take a good round from Day or Johnson.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Conditions supposed to be better tomorrow, which helps Spieth as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Predict Jordan wins it at -5, two shots clear of Day and Matsuyama.</p> -

<p>Yeah you'd think Jordan should do it, he still had 2 doubles out there in tough conditions, Matsuyama didnt putt well and you;d think Langer hit his ceiling today??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone else would need a 65 or so with Spieth doing buggar all.</p> -
<p>guess it had to happen...</p>

<p>Yeah there's a chance that three rounds of sleeping on the lead will take its toll on Spieth, and he will shoot +3 and fall away. But given he's a champion who has done this before I'd say the chances of that are very slim.</p> -
<p>he's gunning for first wire to wire winner since Floyd in the 70s and will also be the youngest to have more than 1 Masters title, beating Tiger and Jack by a couple of years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Assume he'll also join an exclusive crew of back to back winners as well (think Tiger did it in the early 00's)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If he plays his game, the rest of the field will be chasing him, surely?</p> -

<p>He's actually gunning for first wire to wire to wire to wire winner of all time in Majors. He won wire to wire last year, and is looking to do it again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would be an immense achievement if he got it done.</p> -
<p>ah ok, the graphic I saw didnt say that, but then they said later that he holds the record for 7 consecutive rounds he has lead in (last year and this year) which indicates that is correct...I thought I mis-heard.</p>
-
<p>Spieth now holds a 4 stroke lead at -6 (-3 for today) through 8 over Englishman Willet and a shot back is Johnson, both through 10.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spieth has had 4 birdies, a bogey and 3 pars.</p> -
<p>damn, 4 birdies in a row to turn at -7 and a 5 stroke lead!</p>
