No Rory interview? Did he cry and run away again like when he lost to Bryson at the US Open? 🤣
Augusta gave the 15th new life 👍👍
This new generation seems to be afraid of using long irons 😂😂
They used to hit Persimmon Woods into that green boys… Man Up.
It’s The Masters. It’s supposed to be difficult
It's a par 5
play it like one
Jack hit a 4 iron in 1986 when he won that day
The hole does not make sense.. for anyone why punish a player for hitting a good shot. Basically you saying we don’t want birdies there.. that’s crap.
They might as well mow Mickey Mouses face into the green. When you have tour pros pitching multiple balls into the water on a course they have played hundreds of times that's a real bad look. Rory's 5th shot look like it bounced off concrete from how far? 40-50-60 yards? So disappointing to watch the putt putt clown show at Augusta. Hopefully they keep the moisture in it over the weekend if the weather is sunny or it will be a disaster. Do better Augusta.
A towering 4 iron from Rory bounces below the pin and end up 10 yards over the back. That’s not risk and reward.
No sympathy for these boys to be honest. It's a major, arguably the biggest major, it should be a really tough test, not a weekly tour event flying high irons onto a pillow surface to 3 feet.
Risk-reward hole. Come-on, it's a par 5, FFS. 25 of the 95 actually made birdies, and there were 2 eagles. They complain that it's difficult to hold the green when you play a second shot into it? Entitled.
2nd shot Aim right of the green past bunker. Chip it close. One Putt for birdie. Justin Rose strategy
15 was built as a three shot hole. Augusta needs to make it one again and demand that the ball be rolled back
