3. I actively wanted them to cut away at a certain point. We were watching a man have a mental breakdown live on TV and we saw everything.

wHEN HE LINES UP HIS SECOND PUTT (DAMN CAPS) they have a close up of his putter addressing the ball. His putter is moving like a boat in the ocean. Must be so tough on him.
 
I think he was partnering Jason Day (If I read correctly) and apprently he turned away when he saw him miss his third putt. Just too gutted for him. (Potentially looks up to him too)
 
He doesn't appear to get angry, just the "what the F&*k am I doing" expression.

ABdV is reputed to be multi-talented too. 
But I guess the same could be said of many top athletes...Ricky Ponting is a scratch golfer isn't he, Brian Lara could apparently play scratch golf, right or left handed.</blockquote>
 
Chris Cairns was a bloody good (and big) first five, Astle talented at table tennis and soccer, McMillan handy at soccer... , so yeah, if you are good at one sport you are generally good at others (unless of course you wear a number between 1 and 8 on the rugby field)

A bit of John Daly for you before the next round.

Big article & also a really good 50 minute podcast with the author.

Hspeith with a 3 shot lead at present, by the looks of the leaderboard she's pretty tough out there today. 
The Masters website is pretty damn cool

taniwharugby

Speith drops one on 10, Rory in the trees on 18 2 back... 
T 
Lee is finished at -2 equal 3rd with Peircy and Casey. 
Most players have gone backwards in the back 9, Rory likely to drop back to -2 at the 18th...Speith will have a chance to take a substantial lead into day 3 if he can have a decent back 9

taniwharugby

Great par by Rory...the amateur fella is making a charge now into -3, Speith still -5

taniwharugby

Speith back to -6 (+2 for the day) Amateur Dechambeau is alone in 2nd at -4 (-3 for day) 
 
Of players on the course still, Matsuyama had a couple of birdies in a row to get to -2 (-2 for day) otherwise most have gone backwards.
 
BUbba Watson, Adam Scott sitting on the wrong side of the cut line right now (although Scott has 7holes to play including the very birdie-able 15th

taniwharugby

and just as I post, Speith and Dechambeau (playing together) make bogey on 16 and Scott birdie on 12 to move above the projected cutline

taniwharugby

another bogey on 17 opened the door for Bubba to make the cut and brings the field closer.
 
Conditions are pretty rough (for Augusta)

JK

That 2over round for Danny today hasn't hurt his chances at all and seems pretty good compared to many others.

taniwharugby

Yep, Speith is +3 for the day and finishes with par on 18 for -4
 
So Lee is 2 back, plenty of talent within striking distance for day 3

taniwharugby

ouch, Dechambeau (A) had a 7 on the last to drop back to even for the tournament.

Go Danny, hanging with the big boys. It would be amazing if he got up to win it. If not I kind of want Dustin Johnson to win I think, just because he could lose the choker tag then

barbarian

Setting up beautifully with Jordan and Rory in the last group. If conditions improve then it's hard to see anyone else in the green jacket. But if they keep getting worse...
 
My theory is that if you are within 5 shots of the leader, you are in it. So there are still plenty of guys in with a shot. If the wind starts blowing, and someone like JDay or Matsuyama shoots -3 and Jordan and Rory stay where they are or even go backwards... game on.

JK

Danny is right in this. I'm expecting something pretty big from him tomorrow!

JK

Hmmm wasn't referring to his scorecard...

taniwharugby

Horror start for Danny alright.

taniwharugby

Gusty winds out there again with most players going backwards, except Speith at this point, with a 3 stroke lead over Matsuyama

taniwharugby

Former winner, 58 year old Bernhard Langer birdies 13,14 and 15 to get himself into a tie for 2nd. 
Rory really struggling now. 
Lee has grabbed back 2 of the 5 he dropped early on but still well off the pace
