Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hahaha I can explain...my top 2 sleepers were McIlroy and Johnson, but at first I didn't see Rory's name on the tee-off schedule, so I went with Dustin. Trust me though, Rory's got GAME. No doubt about that. In fact, I think there's a chance we can see him consistently challenging Tiger in two or three years. He is still so young though at age 19 and I think he has some growing up to do, particularly involving his short game, that will prevent him from winning a major at this time. Would be nice to see him in contention on Sunday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Dudley Hart! Like Plenzmd said, if I had to bet I would put it on the Cat, but I like my chances by taking the field. Specifically I like the possibility for Luke Donald or maybe Adam Scott. meh Scott is an awesome golfer, but he is having an awful year so far...I doubt he's able to put it together this weekend.

Rory's a nice golfer, but I can't see it happening on this stage with this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly McButterpants Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Chad Campbell had an awesome first round . . . Birdied the first five holes. Tiger had a nice round, but gave 2 away at 17 & 18 . . . BTW, have you checked out Masters.com ? Live streaming video, pop-up updates, picture in picture . . . How do they expect me to get any work done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me though, Rory's got GAME. Rory has game. But he was on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Golf Plus Masters Preview edition.....Therefore he has no chance.

ajzepp Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yesterday was my first time seeing McIlroy, but that kid is a wizard on the greens. You gotta have a great short game if you're gonna tame the tiger...but when you consider that Tiger wins over 40% of the tourneys he plays in, and this is probably his best stage, I'd say Tiger's gonna take it.

When I saw McIlroy for the first time at the Accenture Match Play I said to myself "wow, this kid could be #2 in the world in a couple of years". He's even par through round 1, and it seems the course is playing pretty easy in the good weather so he'd better pick it up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 In all the years and all the rounds of The Masters, no player has ever shot all four rounds in the 60's. Not Jack, not Tiger, no one. That is an amazing stat. Angel Carbrera has that rare opportunity today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 lol....sorry. Seriously, though, if I knew the guy was going to be this insistent on GIVING the damn thing away, I would have made the 2 hr drive and signed up to play! lol Homey has a 2-shot lead going into the last two holes and can't finish the deal...for his FIRST MAJOR EVER. He's like the exact opposite of Tiger in terms of his mental toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
