    This tournament is drunk. Mickelson is your clubhouse leader 
    That was incredible from Phil.  He has been awful for almost 2 years since he won the PGA then finishes T2 at the Masters at 52 years old.

    I don't get why a player dedicates a win to a person he met once (Seve).

    I can. They're both from Spain. Seve is a legend in that country so Rahm probably grew up idolizing him.

    Well Kopeka fell off like I kinda expected. But this throwaway bet on Phil may cash if Henley doesn’t ruin it for me. 

    Great job by Rahm. Especially with how he played in the terrible conditions yesterday morning. 
    Took your advice and waited until Sunday to make a bet. Did a parlay with Rahm winning, Brooks top 5 and Scheffler top 10. Left our Easter dinner thinking I won big only to get home to see my winnings drastically reduced because Scottie finished in a tie for 10th. Bunch of bullshit.

    That’s a good parlay. Scottie’s putting was so all over the place. His ball-striking was on, but he couldn’t convert anything. At least he didn’t fall out of the top 10.

    I would have thanked the parents who bankrolled everything and got him into the game.  

    It is different I guess.  The US has a ton of sports heroes. Seve was a bigger deal I guess.  I don’t think any players would have dedicated wins to Jack if he had died

    Phil surging near the lead at Augusta on the back nine Sunday? Talk about a muted response, saw a ton of folded arms in the crowd after some of his big birdies yesterday. The Saudis are destroying the US tour, and Mickelson is their main lap dog. Disgusting.

    I did hear listening to a podcast after that Phil got a decent amount of love out there yesterday, but that birdie on 18 seemed VERY muted. They showed the replay looking back over the crowd and there wasn't a huge response whereas in years past it would have been a stereotypical Augusta roar.

    I had forgot that Phil is on the LIV tour.  It was weird seeing him in a PGA event.

    Kevin Van Valkenberg was saying that it was 70/30 in favor of Rahm over Brooks, which is pretty wild

    Can’t be all that surprising.  Getting that much distance out of a small frame.  Hopefully he can still be successful going forward.

    Mental health break for McIlroy?  Can’t imagine the pressure he must feel.

    That's pretty weak from Rory.  Dude was playing great coming into the masters, then shits the bed and WDs from an elevated event the next week.

    I loved how he's been promoted as "the face" of the Tour, and he's made fun of LIV for being exhibition golf (which is fair enough), but then when playing under the exact same conditions as Koepka in rounds 1 and 2 of the Masters, Koepka beat him by SEVENTEEN STROKES.

    Last august through October I had the best driving stretch since I was a kid, out of nowhere. Played rounds with legit good players and either kept up with them off the tee, or we were taking my shots in scrambles.

    Played today for the first time since the fall. Long gone. One good drive on the day and drove it through the fairway. Fuck this game.

    The new Scotty phantom is absolute fire though.
