They love him because he drives viewership. If nobody cared to watch him, they'd never show him.

Other than Jordan, I don't know if anybody has ever moved the needle for their sport as much as him. And Tiger's still doing it when he's a shell of himself physically.

Oh I know. It was more a comment to point out what appears like agony after every shot. Not sure how much of that is physical and how much is mental/emotional.

I think it's all physical. If he didn't want to be out there, there's no way he'd force himself to do it. It seems like it is uncomfortable for him to just walk at this point, much less play golf.

I think some can become mental/emotional as you go in hoping for the best and then reality sets in concerning your physical issues. You start off with a number in your head and quickly see you can’t do it, that can take a toll mentally.

Maybe, but he just looks physically pained when he walks.

Death, taxes, and Fred Couples playing well the first couple of days of the Masters.

Rahm would have a 2-shot lead if he was able to just par #1 instead of dub. Wow

 

[allvol123]

I guess I am old, I do not like the commentators speaking with a player during his round.

I’m hoping one of the LIV guys win The Masters just to make things uncomfortable. That said, Rahm or Scheffler probably win the thing.

Looks like you'll get your wish. Koepka is running away with it.

This thing is nowhere near close to over. Most of yesterday's leaders have 54 holes left, and the weather is about to get really dicey.

I don't like Brooks, at all, but having said that it would actually be hilarious if he won. The awkwardness and drama would be hilarious. He's finally healthy, and I think pretty pissed off.

Koepka is a drama queen but I don't mind so much him winning, he's one of the few LIV golfers I wish would come back to the PGA.

If Scheff hadn't left his putter at home, he'd probably be right there.

How great of a story is this Bennett kid???

I really hope he's able to hold it together. The early part of the 3rd round is where a lot of "came out of nowhere" guys blow up.

He caught a break with this mornings tee time. I expect this to be like last years when Scottie 4 putted 18 and still won by multiple strokes. He is laser focused.

Nope. screw the Aggies......

But I do like the kid. Solid player!

I’d be pulling for him if didn’t attend the cult known as Texas A&M.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Weird, there is no way to watch the leaders?

 

[Matt2496]

Hopefully bennett can turn it around.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I think we are about done for the day

 

[Matt2496]

Brooks just has to shoot even or 1 over and he'll still have a solid lead over everyone else.

 

[Matt2496]

Seeing water start to puddle on the greens.

 

[Matt2496]

And now they've blown the horn. Round is suspended. Based on the forecast, it doesn't look like they're going to get to play again today.

Hearing it's done for the day?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

They should have suspended play an hour ago.

It’s coming down in buckets.
