Rogers72 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I love this tournament and have been following closely. It looks like Mcilroy may run away with it tomorrow bit he's being chased by two Aussies and a few others. Would like to see Adam Scott get this one. Anyone else watching? What's your call?
kcheek Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Hi Rogers, me too. My guess is Rory won't be able to handle the pressure cooker of Augusta National. I've seen many collapse at the finish, but he has held it together for three days, we'll see. Can't wait for tomorrow!!
JMH Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I think McIlroy will be hard to beat going in to the final round with a four shot lead.
Rogers72 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 Rory did handle himself well today and I get the feel that he will do the same tomorrow. I think it will take a LOW number tomorrow to beat him. Scott has all the talent in the world though and nothing to lose. Could get interesting!
MoneyPit Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I think McIlroy will hold on to win it, but I think he'll also come back to the field a bit. He definitely got a good pairing with Cabrera. Tomorrow could get real interesting with a lot of young great golfers near the top of the leaderboard. I'm really curious to see how Luke Donald finishes, I'd like to see him have a solid Sunday.
cigaraholic Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Rory's hitting it so pure, I love listening to that sweet sound at impact. The kitty can't putt so I think he has it.
Wil Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Great to see Jason Day doing well. Hope he, Ogilvy and Scott can finish well tomorrow.
ckearns Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 My roars are for Rory. I've been very impressed by his calmness and how well he's striking the ball. His iron play has been a joy to watch. I'm hoping the field will self destruct when they're forced to shoot low. That will allow Rory to play with less risk and pilot himself to his first (and hopefully many more) green jackets. It should be an amazing final round. Btw, the Masters is my favourite sporting event too.
CigarB Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Incredible final day! Great showing by the Aussies, Jason Day from just got a shout out for Brisbane.
El Presidente Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Great stuff and congrats to Charl Schwartzel. Well done to the Aussie trio!
frenchkiwi Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 focus on the positive - not - commiserations to Mcilroy who had to wear the whole world on his shoulders for one round. fortunately he's still only 16 (or not far off it ;-) and has 20 or so years to come back and win it...
Wil Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah great stuff from Scott and Day. Was disappointed Scott couldn't get there in the end. Amazing four holes to finish by Schwartzel.
Ken Gargett Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 What a day at the Masters. Incredible. as schwartzel stepped up to the tee on the 15th, the commentator said that these were the four holes that would show his character (or something like that). birdie, birdie, birdie, birdie!! what a way to win the masters. don't think there'll be too many questions about his character now. couldn't work out where rory went - he was gone by the time i switched on. pressure is a hideous thing. be interested to see if/how he bounces back as he looked a worldbeater earlier. scott just a smidge erratic but at least schwartzel won it, rather than scott lost it. jason day an amazing story. 23 and first crack at the masters and comes in with those two birdies, last two holes to almost ****** it (and didn't his wife look like a young sandra bullock). what a talent! great effort by the two queenslanders! one of the best last days i can ever remember.
olotti Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 This was one of the best days of golf I remember in a looong time. Tiger making the push on the front and then just missing a couple puts to put him in the lead, Rory faltering, Olgevy making his push on the back nine, Scott and Day making their way up the field, and then Charl showing the compoise and balls of steel that it takes to win a Major especially at Augusta. Great win for him. We def haven't seen the last of Day or Rory, they're so young and all they can do is build on this day from both the good and bad and it was nice to see Tiger back in the mix. Oh and yes Ken Day's wife regardless of who she looked like is smokin hot. Great day of golf, wish all majors could be this good.
mazolaman Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I watched the final few stages of this,gripping stuff!. Some pressure on McIlroy,all those big names on -10 behind him,Cabrerra,Woods Choi etc etc I don't doubt a sportsman of that quality will be back. I was hoping Luke Donald would keep up his late run,but he dropped one in the drink......followed by one of the shots of the day! The winner deserved his win,for consistant play.
Wil Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 couldn't work out where rory went - he was gone by the time i switched on. pressure is a hideous thing. Felt very sorry for Rory, but he'll have his day. I liked the quote from one of the commentators: pressure finds the weakest point. Even the greats like Norman struggled with pressure. All part of the learning curve, and I'm guessing three young men in McIlroy, Jason Day and Adam Scott would have learnt a lot today. An exciting year ahead!
perfectform Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks Rory! You just cost me $750! Appreciate it!
sloth Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 i have to admit... i have never watched golf, until last weekend. i probably will not start playing anytime soon.
brutusthebuckeye Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Good for the S African .......glad to c eldrick lose......rory with choke job was brutal 2 watch....but i would rather lose like that than how the guppy greg norman did in 86.....the shank into the spectators was tragic....
thechenman Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Really wanted to see Tiger make a comeback @ The Masters. Close...but no cigar. A great field this year...hopefully we'll see a lot more tournaments like this in 2011. It would make for an exciting season.
