I find spieth cocky. I hope he melts. But doubt it. Rory will probably putt badly and ruin his great drives. Finau looks good

I think Spieth is a pretty humble guy. He does have some antics on the course that can be annoying, but he’s a good dude. I’d love to see Finau win after the ankle. What a story that would be.

I think after today we will see how big the lead could be and who is really in contention. Looks open still so that's good

Spieth cocky????  Seriously???  He's pretty much the most boring dude in the world.  Type of guy who says "aw shucks" after he hits a bad shot.  With how good he is, he should be cocky but I don't see it at all...

Least cocky guy on tour. I hate him because he’s so good, and I’m so bad.

Tiger is not out of it after Day 1 so that is exciting.  I think he can only improve on this first round.  He hasn't played a major in years so the adrenaline must have been felt. 

tiger is behind a whole bunch of good players.....and an amateur

stick a fork in tiger.

Um....he's tied with the likes of Rahm, Rose, DJ, Berger, Duffner, and Matsuyama....in like his 6th tournament in well over a year.

This must suck for you!

Looks like scoring is not as easy today. I wonder if they’ll be able to get the round in tomorrow. Weather looks pretty shaky. Sure hope so because I planned on watching all afternoon.

Have a wedding tomorrow so won't be able to see a lot, but I'll be laying my hungover ass on the couch all day Sunday for the final round.  I already told my wife to not expect much from me in the parenting department on Sunday.

^ Haha. Sounds like the same conversation in my household, except I told her not to expect much from me starting tonight (watching the replay) through Sunday night. I see a lot of sitting on the couch, beer and junk food in my future. Just what Masters weekend should be.

So it appears that Amen Corner 4k app is only for Direct TV this year. That blows. 

If they can't get all of tomorrow in, I'm guessing tv coverage on Sunday still won't start till 2 again?

Not sure how they would handle that.  But we just know that the masters is committed to giving us as little TV coverage as possible....I'll never understand it.

I know Tiger is out of it, but I just can’t understand how he’s 0 for 6 on par 5’s so far. It’s a baffling statistic.

So Tiger is close to maybe missing the cut.  When are some of you diehard Tiger faithful going to admit that a 42 year old golfer with back issues might be nothing more than a mediocre to good pro golfer at this point ...

Never because it’s not accurate. He will win on tour this year and will win another major. Mediocre golfers don’t do that.

The response should be a gif of that show Tiger just pulled off.  Not mediocre...

Rob is a curmudgeon

That one was mediocre.

Amazing 280 yard stinger followed by a 150 water ball.  Oops.

Reed 5 under on the front 9 alone! Hard for me to get behind this guy but that’s impressive stuff.
