If you have the Masters app, go watch how Phil played #2. Also watch Bubba on #15. He got hosed big time.

Like a judge overruling a jury, there should be an official on each hole that can remove a birdie when a hole is played like Phil played #2.

LOL Bryson.  I wonder if it's still playing as a par 67 for him???

Koepka is locked in.  With bad weather coming this afternoon he might have a huge lead going into the weekend.

I will be happy if there is a LIV winner.  Makes golf more interesting.

Not sure how that makes things more interesting.....just more nonsense for the golf media to salivate over like they did with the champions dinner.  I guess it didn't end with a big food fight like they were expecting!!

Haha.  If there will be a real rivalry in the future then it has to start somewhere.  NBA was better when players hated each other instead of being best friends and popping 3's every play.

Going with Rory in the 1 and done pool.  It's time for him to complete the grand slam.  One of the best weeks of the year!

And he's not even going to make the cut.  Wow.

Koepka is a problem. Will definitely draw more attention to LIV but I feel like it would legitimize LIV if someone like Neimann wins. Like it’s not like we didn’t know Koepka is a hall of fame golfer before he went, he was just hurt. Could just be telling myself that.

Michael Collins suuuuuucks

But even Niemann is already a world class golfer.  It was never a doubt that they have 5-10 legit, high end players so I don't think it will be a shock if one of them wins it.  Doesn't change the fact that the LIV format is a joke.  It's overall just sad that we're only going to see the all the best players 4 times a year.

Koepka's post-round comments today were wild.  Said if he was feeling as good as he is right now that it would have impacted his decision to go to LIV.  Don't blame him for taking 100M when he thought his body was shot.  I'm sure LIV loves hearing that!

So he regrets going to LIV then?

Agreed on all of this.

is milkelson on team Van Halen?

Cliffy6745

Wasn’t watching live. Looked terrifying. Borderline miracle no one isn’t hurt 

Wobbie

I’ve been chopping up downed trees all winter at “my” course. the difference here was they have about 20 dudes cleaning it up….not just one wobbie.

Sam Bennett is going directly to LIV, right?

Yeah the saudis can cut production and suck thousands from our bank accounts and pay these arse holes their$$.  Very interesting. 

I can never go to a major again. Would be too tempted to try some chicanery behind the backs of arrogant fans cheering for these selfish pricks. They should all revoke their citizenship and move to Riyadh and subject their wives daughters and moms to the bs of where their $ now originates and hope they don’t all get the bone saw. Not to mention how they crapped on the tour that helped them get rich originally.

bootlegger10

As I said, would make pro golf more interesting.  

I am not on the PGA Tour so not taking it personally, and I don’t think any higher or lesser of Saudi Arabia because of LIV.

The issue with Saudi isn’t liv, obviously 

bootlegger10

Maybe I'd hold the LIV players to a higher standard if the US government and most big corporations based in the US didn't do business with them too.  The Saudi government is run by a brutal regime and the US government sells that regime weapons.  But lets take it out on Charles Howell III.  

bootlegger10

Great leaderboard.   The final group would definitely be more interesting with Rahm vs. Koepka with the PGA/LIV underlying it.

Don’t disagree with this either but it’s also the inability to be honest about any of it outside of DJ and Varner 

Cliffy6745

And yeah, good leaderboard. Two horse race at this point and interesting rahm is the betting favorite 

Ledbetterman10

That was a fantastic round by Rahm in the rain this morning to keep pace with Brooks.

The leaders not being on the featured groups right now is insane.  But hey, we'll see every shot from Tiger who is 16 shots back
