Narps Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 At least one old man got the memo that today is moving day. Anybody else?... Geez guysRicky (don't lose that number) Fowler got the hint too. Should have birdied 18 however. Still a nice 67.... :) Edit: CBS better hope the likes of Spieth, Fowler, Couples stay in it so folks may watch....I just started watching. I really don't like the tricked up greens I'm seeing.Snedeker 5 putted the 4th green. All anybody needs to know. To fast is possible... :(Is that because they're worried about someone getting to minus 15 or 20 if they didn't?I am pretty sure those days are over no matter how they set up the greens. The changes to the course since Tigers dominance began has seen to that....How many strokes would you say the tricked up greens add to the scores?Probably overall none. They have most of the pins in easier spots to encourage more birdies even though the greens a devilishly fast. There have been some lower scores today to prove that. Its not much different really than most Masters Saturdays. Aggressive/caution is the rule of the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hole I think averaged around .75 over par and had some train wrecks there like Snedeker.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Bubba is blowing the lead! Ugh. He drove the shot out of 15 and then flew it over the green with the small iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Been within 40 miles of this course my whole life, but never been. Ugh. That irks me. Our little airport here in Aiken, which gets no traffic, is FULL of airplanes. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aikenrooster Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) I think the greens are firm due to the lack of humidity. VERY FAST. David Feherty is the greatest announcer. Edited April 12, 2014 by Aikenrooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion about David Feherty - he's usually not as serious on the regular broadcasts, but he's being guarded in his commentrary here at the Masters so he doesn't suffer Gary McCord's fate.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good story from the day was Woodland tearing up the front nine. Topeka native Gary Woodland matched the lowest score ever on the front nine with a 6-under 30, and actually got his score to 7 under on the day with another birdie at the 10th. But the 29-year-old couldn’t keep it going through Amen Corner, where a bogey at the 11th and a double-bogey on 12 stifled his momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see the low scores on the back that I seem to remember seeing along with the drama. I seem to remember alot of 34-32's like The Mechanic shot today or 35-31's. Scores like that. Amazing that Woodland could go so low and then screw up the back so badly. The back used to be where you made your score. I guess lots has changed around there....

goose Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Jordan Spieth goes into Sunday's final round with a share of the lead and a chance to become the youngest winner in Masters history.Miguel Angel Jimenez enters with a chance to become its oldest winner.Jonas Blixt enters with a chance to duplicate Adam Scott's feat of a year ago and give his country -- Sweden -- its first Masters champion. Actually, make that its first major champion. Thomas Bjorn could do the same for Denmark.Matt Kuchar and Lee Westwood also are lurking, each one hoping to shed the label of best player never to win a major. Rickie Fowler's there, hoping his Sunday orange will go with a Green Jacket. And Jim Furyk could rid himself of some recent major demons.Oh, and there's Bubba Watson, the 2012 Masters champ who brought the field back into the mix on Saturday with a 2-over 74 but might have gotten his worst round out of the way while still retaining part of the lead.Does Augusta National know how to deliver storylines or what? http://www.pgatour.com/news/2014/04/12/the-upshot-masters-third-round.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different than any other Masters Sunday....The thing about the super fast greens...with how mounded they are, one bad bounce on a shot can determine the winner. But then, luck plays a big part. Remember Tiger hitting the flag and bouncing back into the water? Then the bad drop penalty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aikenrooster Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I am back on the road, today, so I won't get to watch the final round. It's already hot. I think the humidity is still low enough and it's breezy enough that a pop up storm won't form. But, if a playoff occurred, tomorrow, it may be rainy.
