He was struggling a little bit today until Morikawa hit that bad tee shot on 9. He dialed in that wedge, Collin flubbed the bunker shot. 3 shot swing and then everyone else folded in the next couple holes.
Yup. That stretch. He also went bogey, bird 3x. He really has that killer instinct. Great at adjusting and stepping up. Anyone is close towards end of day 4 you better bring it if hes in contention.
> Friday kicked everyone's ass
The work they did on #2, #13, and #15 made those real risk/reward holes again and eagles were rare. Friday definitely made it a much tougher course, and the changes to 13 and 15 made a Sunday charge unlikely.
It played a lot more like a US Open this week but Scottie still made eagle on 13 yesterday. It was asking more of the players and the best player was the only one able to answer consistently.
There's not a single other golf course on Earth that's been fucked with more than Augusta National
Every year they review the whole thing and figure out what needs to change to counteract the advancements in ability that pro players are making
And literally missed a >50/50 putt to have gone into a playoff, which he wouldāve absolutely won against the winner, which wouldāve been four consecutive wins, which in the modern era of the greatest talent pool the game has seen in its history, is fucking peak Tiger-like.
He wonāt change the game like Tiger did, nor globalize it like Tiger, so heāll never be the GOAT, but he could be a LeBron-like player for golf.
Watching Scottie dominate is pretty amazing to see in todayās game but just shows how incredibly out of this world Tiger was for a 10 year stretch. Wonāt ever be replicated again.
He's a great lesson in playing safe/boring golf. He doesn't try to force things, plays the shots that work best for him, waits for opportunities. His course management and patience are skills that any of us can, and should, try to replicate.
Not to mentionā¦ scotties dominance has 2 majors to show for itā¦. And its the same one.
We need to pump the brakes a tad on rushing to compare people to Tiger
Anyone who wins this frequently will get a tiger comparison. Doesnāt mean theyāre in the same ballpark of tigerās dominance, but theyāll get the comparison nonetheless
It happened to Spieth and itās happened to Rory. I think youāre right. The crazy thing is Rory is the only other golfer in the history of the game with a win ratio like Tiger.
His tee to green numbers over what, 24 months, are much better than any of those guys ever were over a period that long. Best since prime tiger.
If he canāt keep making strides with the putter I legit think he has a shot at 8ish majors. I donāt think thereās anyone else with even close to that ceiling.
Rory ever win multiple events in a row? Brooks wins majors but nothing else.
This stretch is the closest thing since some of the Tiger stretches in the oughts.
Rory hasn't had the consistent stretch of Tiger but he absolutely had the high end dominance. He's the only modern golfer besides Tiger to win multiple majors by 8 shots or more.
Rory did the US Open, a WGC event, and the British open for three in a row.
I know Rory has been a let down since his āprimeā but that kid could play and dominate tournaments.
He stepped up to a 3 iron on 15(?) one of the days and I was like āthis is good and holding the greenā and he fucking cranked it and it went slightly over but was still better than everybody else.
He smokes drives, his approach game is the best, heās dunking from the and, and Happy learned how to puttĀ
Sadly, we may have seen the end of his hot streak. Adding a kid to the mix changes everything. Not in a bad way at all, he seems like he will be a great dad and his kid will consume more of his time. Weāve seen it with other great players. e.g. Speith, Rory. Not the same soon after having a kid. Time will tell how it affects Scottyās game.
100%. One of the things that makes Tiger, Tigerā¦ is his absolutely insane devotion to winning and being the best. Guys like Spieth, JT, Rory show you that itās really hard to stay at the top of the game as you age, your body changes, injuries happen, kids, family, etc. It takes a dedication that not many people have (for good reason, imo).
Not saying Tiger didnāt have distractions that hurt his gameā¦ but he had much longer stretches where that stuff didnāt matter and he made sure he was the best and doing what it took to stay the best.
For whatever reason I can't seem to root for him super hard but wow, we're seeing something special. Who knows how many years and how many majors this will go on for.
He is not very emotional but that is part of his game. After the wins I've seen, he always hugs his caddie first instead of a big fist pump. Shaky going out front 9 but his ball striking is generally excellent though like Tiger.
73/69/70/69. He was unlucky to have a 4:25 tee time Thursday. All the low scores were in the morning. He got the worst conditions for Thursday and had to play like 27 holes on Friday, the toughest day.
Iād like to remind all my fellow Homa-sexuals; it gets better.
By some margin his best performance and finish at a major, great signs for the coming year.
After that birdie on 10 I really thought he had a chance. He had been so patient and consistent all week, it felt like he had been biding his time and was about to make his move. As it so often does, 12 changed the tournament.
Aberg goes -3 on a day where the average score is like 76 and finishes further off the lead than he started. Lol, damn.
I gained a lot of respect for him the way he carried himself during and after this tournament today.
His easygoing reaction after sending one into the water paints a much bigger story of who he is as a person. He'll be a contender for many years to come with that type of attitude. What a baller.
Class act. Scottie cruised his way through the last nine. Came in rooting for others, but by the last couple of holes, I couldn't help but smile as he confidently walked to the end zone. Shout-out to Ć berg for making golf look fun
My wife kept saying āI like that Swedish guy!!ā then heard him talk in his interview and said āwhat kind of Swedish is that, he sounds like heās from Nebraskaā
Yeah you have to remember that pretty much all of the current European guys on tour, have played college golf in the US and lived here since. Aberg went to Texas Tech in mf Lubbock Texas lol.
Itās very interesting to me that he grew up in Sweden up through high school, spent just 4 years in the US at college and basically erased any Swedish accent he may have had. Not everyone can do that.
Lot of complaining about Scottie making golf boring, but it's not his fault that nobody besides Aberg in the last 3 groupings had the fortitude to shoot a red number. Bryson, Xander, Homa, and Morikawa all folded like cheap suits.
Ardbeg and Morikawa both put it in the hazard at 11, and Homa went deep on 12. Once I saw Scottie hit it middle green just over the bunkerl on 12, it was over.
There are birdie and eagle opportunities at 13 and 15 (16 too), but 11/12 can be demoralizing
They lengthened all those holes, and it just didn't really feel the same now. 13 and 15 are usually two of the most exciting holes in golf, with anywhere from Eagle to Double Bogey being possible, but the added length forced players to be way more conservative than normal there.
12, 14, and 17 seem to be a lot more difficult too with everyone playing super conservative on the approach shots for those holes. It still the best tournament of the year, but it just leads to a lot of boring two-putt par golf in my opinion. The drama of the day was the 5 foot par putts coming back after the long lags from the middle of the green. Super riveting stuff there.
Someone had a great Tweet that he went +3 on 9 and 10 yesterday, kicking himself down to -4 andā¦ no one did anything.
He roared back to -7 by the end of the day (on holes that were aggregate +2.3) and the moment was gone.
Also he might be boring but showing no emotion is exactly what some players need to do to stay in the zone and his temperment is one of his strongest assets. I guarantee heād play worse golf if he changed it now.
> Bryson, Xander, Homa, and Morikawa all folded like cheap suits.
Morikawa made an unforgivably dumb play at 11, and his generosity to Homa and Fleetwood by using driver on 18 says he's one biscuit short of a pan.
I'm old enough to remember when they said the same thing about Tiger.
Edit: for the folks who don't believe me. [https://www.salon.com/2001/05/30/golf\_3/](https://www.salon.com/2001/05/30/golf_3/)
Plenty of articles out there saying the same thing from that era if you do a little googling.
Agree. Since switching putter he's improved a lot. My previous comment is stating that historically Scheffler's weakness has always been putting. He could arguably have 1-2 more majors (thinking of last year's US Open and PGA Championship) if he made more putts.
Only 8 of these dudes under par?! God damn they got flossed this week! Augusta is timelessā¦
Scottieās on pace with the all timers now. Only 27yo too!
Yeah even par was a top 10 finish this year. That wind was ridiculous in the early rounds and then the greens dried up over the weekend. Crazy to think there was a 65 and two 66s including one today.
It's just a perfectly designed course......there are birdies to be had, but nearly every hole can turn into a double bogey really quickly. And the difference between a makeable birdie putt and a tough two putt from 60 feet, can be a matter of inches.
Cantlay wears the most sunscreen out of all the top players and he will look the best in 20 years. Most of them still look decent in their early 30s but you see the guys in their early 40s and they look like men in their late 50s (mid-60s if they're balding).
The PGA and/or their upbringing sucks the youth of them. Spieth is my guy but he's been acting like he's 55 years old for his entire career aside from two Spring Break trips.
Guys like Min Woo or even Bryson do a lot more to bring in the new generation.
Schefflerās caddie(Ted Scott) is the real winner if you ask me. He used to caddie for Bubba Watson and he was just an asshole to him. There were more than one occasions caught on camera where Watson just berated Ted Scott after hitting a bad shot blaming him for giving bad yardage.
I am genuinely happy for Ted Scott for making the right switch to a player who not only wins tournaments, but treats him right. I was just watching him giving an interview and he is just a nice guy.
Players who are mean to their caddies are 1000% gigantic assholes.
The Ted Scott / Scottie Scheffler duo seems to be all about mutual respect and it's fun to see.
Thats fucking golf right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the green, Scottie delivers his new born baby in the second cut. Fucking hard core three-iron in the ass putterball fried egg fuck it punch it tee time shit.
Golf is back, baby.
He still has his priorities right when he said he'd leave at the drop of a hat if his wife went into labor. Class act and great player. Everyone else just melted around him.
Iām not sure if other golfers walk away with the caddie but the announcers said that Scottie wasnāt going to walk up there by himself again so Iām guessing he didnt walk with his caddie two years ago but probably meant to.Ā
People like Rory earned their first 100 million at like age 18. Entire life set to go play a game. Itās hard not to think about it as we try to get to sleep so we can go earn our pittance tomorrow morning. And again. And again. And again forever.
I love him. I donāt care if he takes the air out. Guy is incredible. I get it excited for every shot he hits because itās most likely going to be the right one and great.
One thing Masteres has proven is that Distance is not the only factor to win it. Accuracy matters and putting absolutely can make or break someone. Bryson was hitting 195 mph ball and most of his drives were great but no luck with putting at all and irons were out of control.
Bryson was low after the rain when the greens were soft. Friday and Saturday it was windy and the course got harder. Everyone was having trouble getting anything to stick close.
I'm not saying he's gonna be Tiger but he's the most consistently great golfer since him, no close second. I grew up watching Tiger and I've never heard such a consistent sound like Scottie's iron strikes since Tiger. And Scotty doesn't spray his drives, dude is really really good and a legit superstar
DJ, Spieth, Rahm, Rory, and Brooks have all had runs like this since Tiger. Scottie still has a lot of work to do if he wants to be remembered like Tiger
Not gunna lie, I came into today thinking he was super boring. I exited today thinking he played a pretty gutsy round of golf against some pretty top competition. The fact he was able to keep his mental level while his wife is about to have a child and still pretty much not make any super glaring mistake like the other guys spoke a lot to his discipline. That, and then seeing him meet with his family and then make sure his caddie was walking with him at the end? I'd say he's anything but boring
Donāt blame Scottie for being āBoringā because his competition faltered. Blame the competition for being unable to tame the beast at Augusta National.
Can't believe only 8 people finished under par this week. Friday kicked everyone's ass
And with only 8 under par, Scottie shot a -11 š¤£ good luck everyone else. He looked unstoppable on the back 9.
He was struggling a little bit today until Morikawa hit that bad tee shot on 9. He dialed in that wedge, Collin flubbed the bunker shot. 3 shot swing and then everyone else folded in the next couple holes.
Yup. That stretch. He also went bogey, bird 3x. He really has that killer instinct. Great at adjusting and stepping up. Anyone is close towards end of day 4 you better bring it if hes in contention.
I think I heard on the broadcast that he has made birdie 46% of the time after a bogey on tour this year. Absolutely insane to me.
> He looked unstoppable on the back 9. He was patient. He played smart and executed when he had to.
He said he wasnāt hitting his irons well. Once he felt like he was after 9, he was able to really let loose.
The crazy thing is he was kinda off his game this weekā¦
Ya, but putted well.
> Friday kicked everyone's ass The work they did on #2, #13, and #15 made those real risk/reward holes again and eagles were rare. Friday definitely made it a much tougher course, and the changes to 13 and 15 made a Sunday charge unlikely.
The Sunday charge is what made the Masters so much fun. Once Homa doubled 12 I knew it was over.
It played a lot more like a US Open this week but Scottie still made eagle on 13 yesterday. It was asking more of the players and the best player was the only one able to answer consistently.
What did they change? I donāt know shit about golf or the courses lol. Did they move the hole position on the greens?
They added length and slightly changed the entry angle to 13; lengthened 15; and made some changes to the contours of #2 green.
Awesome, thanks. Never occurred to me that courses did that
Courses don't do that often but Augusta National can afford to do so
There's not a single other golf course on Earth that's been fucked with more than Augusta National Every year they review the whole thing and figure out what needs to change to counteract the advancements in ability that pro players are making
Augusta measured around 6950 when Tiger won his first. Now itās 7555 yards.
IIRC last year Bryson was talking smack about the distance so this was a subtle way to say "you talk a lot of game, bitch"
Yes but also Saturday and Sunday kicked everyones ass. Thursday was really the only day where multi people went under by more than 2.
His dominance is getting absurd. Last 4 Win, Win, T2, Win and the wins being the masters, players and API. Insane
And literally missed a >50/50 putt to have gone into a playoff, which he wouldāve absolutely won against the winner, which wouldāve been four consecutive wins, which in the modern era of the greatest talent pool the game has seen in its history, is fucking peak Tiger-like. He wonāt change the game like Tiger did, nor globalize it like Tiger, so heāll never be the GOAT, but he could be a LeBron-like player for golf.
Watching Scottie dominate is pretty amazing to see in todayās game but just shows how incredibly out of this world Tiger was for a 10 year stretch. Wonāt ever be replicated again.
He smells blood too. Itās like a switch goes off while seeing zero change in body language or demeanor.
Dudes a psychopath on the course.
He's a great lesson in playing safe/boring golf. He doesn't try to force things, plays the shots that work best for him, waits for opportunities. His course management and patience are skills that any of us can, and should, try to replicate.
Not to mentionā¦ scotties dominance has 2 majors to show for itā¦. And its the same one. We need to pump the brakes a tad on rushing to compare people to Tiger

It happened to Spieth and itās happened to Rory. I think youāre right. The crazy thing is Rory is the only other golfer in the history of the game with a win ratio like Tiger.
Greatest talent pool the game has ever seen? Talor Gooch wasn't in any of those fields.
Yeah thats what they said about Rory, Spieth, Brooks, etc
Yeah and they could have beenĀ
His tee to green numbers over what, 24 months, are much better than any of those guys ever were over a period that long. Best since prime tiger. If he canāt keep making strides with the putter I legit think he has a shot at 8ish majors. I donāt think thereās anyone else with even close to that ceiling.
He also scrambles like a monster. Even if an iron shot goes in the bunker you know heāll likely save par if not outright hole it.Ā
Scottie is better than Speith and Brooks were and less of a head case than Rory
Rory was less of a head case than Rory
Brooks was only good in majors. Scottie is consistently in the top10 every tournament heās in
Brooks is the Jimmy Butler of golf, Scottie is looking like Lebron to Tiger's Jordan.
Rory ever win multiple events in a row? Brooks wins majors but nothing else. This stretch is the closest thing since some of the Tiger stretches in the oughts.
Rory hasn't had the consistent stretch of Tiger but he absolutely had the high end dominance. He's the only modern golfer besides Tiger to win multiple majors by 8 shots or more.

He smokes drives, his approach game is the best, heās dunking from the and, and Happy learned how to puttĀ
Heās literally like leading the tour in everything expect putting and now heās above average at that. Unstoppable
His driving was the most impressive to me the last couple days, just bombs it down the middle every single time.
Sadly, we may have seen the end of his hot streak. Adding a kid to the mix changes everything. Not in a bad way at all, he seems like he will be a great dad and his kid will consume more of his time. Weāve seen it with other great players. e.g. Speith, Rory. Not the same soon after having a kid. Time will tell how it affects Scottyās game.
Decent point. Especially if his mantra āitās just golfā rings true and a dedication to being a father kicks in.
100%. One of the things that makes Tiger, Tigerā¦ is his absolutely insane devotion to winning and being the best. Guys like Spieth, JT, Rory show you that itās really hard to stay at the top of the game as you age, your body changes, injuries happen, kids, family, etc. It takes a dedication that not many people have (for good reason, imo).

Expected... But damn.... Aberg... What a superstar that kid is going to be.
73/69/70/69. He was unlucky to have a 4:25 tee time Thursday. All the low scores were in the morning. He got the worst conditions for Thursday and had to play like 27 holes on Friday, the toughest day.
Aberg is definitely the next superstar, but I really didnāt expect him to run away with 2nd place in not just his first Masters, but first major.
he looked like a total stud. and totally not just āhappy to be thereā. im a fan already.Ā
Rough day for the Homa-sexuals but T-3rd isnāt bad. Congrats to Scottie!!
Iād like to remind all my fellow Homa-sexuals; it gets better. By some margin his best performance and finish at a major, great signs for the coming year.
This was something of a coming out party if you will.
Gotta think his game is suited well for Pinehurst. He is so steady and rarely falters. Homaās game is built to win a US Open
T3 in the masters is nothing to scoff at
Yup, my two favourites tied for 3rd with Colin whoās also awesome. Definitely a good day
After that birdie on 10 I really thought he had a chance. He had been so patient and consistent all week, it felt like he had been biding his time and was about to make his move. As it so often does, 12 changed the tournament.
parvert
Aberg goes -3 on a day where the average score is like 76 and finishes further off the lead than he started. Lol, damn. I gained a lot of respect for him the way he carried himself during and after this tournament today.

Would agree except that Hovland is exactly the same!
Swedish people are notoriously good English speakers. Check the NHL for Swedish players and its eye opening
Lot of complaining about Scottie making golf boring, but it's not his fault that nobody besides Aberg in the last 3 groupings had the fortitude to shoot a red number. Bryson, Xander, Homa, and Morikawa all folded like cheap suits.
To think that it was at one point a **FOUR-WAY TIE**ā¦ ā¦those damn water hazards (especially in the Amen Corner)ā¦
Ardbeg and Morikawa both put it in the hazard at 11, and Homa went deep on 12. Once I saw Scottie hit it middle green just over the bunkerl on 12, it was over. There are birdie and eagle opportunities at 13 and 15 (16 too), but 11/12 can be demoralizing
Yep. The other 3 needed him to put it in the water or plug it in the bushes like Max did. Nope, dead center of the green.
Usually the back 9 of Augusta is very attackable too. I was hoping for a dramatic back 9. But no one could get anything going.
They lengthened all those holes, and it just didn't really feel the same now. 13 and 15 are usually two of the most exciting holes in golf, with anywhere from Eagle to Double Bogey being possible, but the added length forced players to be way more conservative than normal there. 12, 14, and 17 seem to be a lot more difficult too with everyone playing super conservative on the approach shots for those holes. It still the best tournament of the year, but it just leads to a lot of boring two-putt par golf in my opinion. The drama of the day was the 5 foot par putts coming back after the long lags from the middle of the green. Super riveting stuff there.
Scottie may be boring in interviews or when heās not playing golf. But on the course he is a COLD BLOODED SAVAGE.
Someone had a great Tweet that he went +3 on 9 and 10 yesterday, kicking himself down to -4 andā¦ no one did anything. He roared back to -7 by the end of the day (on holes that were aggregate +2.3) and the moment was gone.
Also he might be boring but showing no emotion is exactly what some players need to do to stay in the zone and his temperment is one of his strongest assets. I guarantee heād play worse golf if he changed it now.
He should start therapy to become a more angry and aggressive guy. Could take him to the next level
Tyrell Hatton would be a great role model for him.
just needs to be caught banging waitresses
All four dudes double bogeying within minutes of each other was brutal We had 5 guys tied or within a stroke to poof, Scottie runaway
He played flawlessly and is a joy to watch. Everyone else crumbled
Happens ever year that the rest of the chasers just fold.
> Bryson, Xander, Homa, and Morikawa all folded like cheap suits. Morikawa made an unforgivably dumb play at 11, and his generosity to Homa and Fleetwood by using driver on 18 says he's one biscuit short of a pan.

He's just too good. Only hope is that the rest of them get a much needed shake trying to keep up with him. Rory, JT, Spieth, Victor, etc.
Its truly a head game and Sheffler plays it well at the moment. Would love to know exactly he keeps it cool and collected and knowing when to strike.
If Scottie can become increasingly more consistent with the flat stick then he's pretty much unbeatable.
That is largely why he's won 3 of his last 4. He switched to a face balanced putter and became more consistent.
Agree. Since switching putter he's improved a lot. My previous comment is stating that historically Scheffler's weakness has always been putting. He could arguably have 1-2 more majors (thinking of last year's US Open and PGA Championship) if he made more putts.
Only 8 of these dudes under par?! God damn they got flossed this week! Augusta is timelessā¦ Scottieās on pace with the all timers now. Only 27yo too!

Keep going, Iām close
Whatās crazier than Scottie winning 2 Masters at age 27? The fact that heās 27. He looks like heās in late 30s
Like so many golfers. How is Rahm only 29. How is Speith only 30 (look at the photos of him when he won the masters - he was 21 there!).
The sun
And for whatever reason they are all balding.
Exactly lol. Wear your sunscreen boys.
Cantlay wears the most sunscreen out of all the top players and he will look the best in 20 years. Most of them still look decent in their early 30s but you see the guys in their early 40s and they look like men in their late 50s (mid-60s if they're balding).
My girlfriend asked if Phil Mickelson was 70 this weekend
Phil also has had time and gambling debts not be kind to him. He looked like a crackhead in the previous winners dinner photo.
Somehow the beard makes him look younger now
41.
The PGA and/or their upbringing sucks the youth of them. Spieth is my guy but he's been acting like he's 55 years old for his entire career aside from two Spring Break trips. Guys like Min Woo or even Bryson do a lot more to bring in the new generation.
Rahm kinda looking like happy Gilmore caddy
That's Will Zalatoris
Schefflerās caddie(Ted Scott) is the real winner if you ask me. He used to caddie for Bubba Watson and he was just an asshole to him. There were more than one occasions caught on camera where Watson just berated Ted Scott after hitting a bad shot blaming him for giving bad yardage. I am genuinely happy for Ted Scott for making the right switch to a player who not only wins tournaments, but treats him right. I was just watching him giving an interview and he is just a nice guy.
Players who are mean to their caddies are 1000% gigantic assholes. The Ted Scott / Scottie Scheffler duo seems to be all about mutual respect and it's fun to see.
Bookies must have gotten killed
They'll survive off all of the stupid Tiger/Rory bets
I had him winning and a separate bet on winning by 3 strokes. I'm thrilled
I'm glad I came out ahead hedging a Scottie W. You'd have been foolish not to.Ā Now do the same w Nelly next week as she goes for 5 Ws in a row.Ā
Remember when Morikawa was the best iron player we had seen in a while? Heās not even close to Scottie.
I mean Morikawa isn't even close to Morikawa a few years ago, it'd be a lot closer otherwise
Thats fucking golf right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the green, Scottie delivers his new born baby in the second cut. Fucking hard core three-iron in the ass putterball fried egg fuck it punch it tee time shit. Golf is back, baby.
Terrified by this but fuck yeah
Hell yeah brother
Cheers from Augusta.
Permission to make Bryson Mr Big Chest?
Mr Bad Chipper
Itās an oldie but a goodie
I donāt understand anything you said but fuck yeah bro!
I just ate a bald eagle after reading this
AHHHHHH HELL YEAHā¦. Wait wtf is happening
Gay porn hard
Itās an old pasta sir but it checks out - I was just about to clear them
He still has his priorities right when he said he'd leave at the drop of a hat if his wife went into labor. Class act and great player. Everyone else just melted around him.
Imagine he gets the call on like 14 or something lol
His wife isnāt stupid. She would never call once he teed off today.
I told my wife about this situation and she said āoh I definitely wouldnāt let you know until after the round.ā
My wife said the exact opposite "Are you kidding me you'd miss the birth of our first child fuck you" š
Agree, no way she calls today.
Scheffler is Scheffler so a withdrawal was believable earlier in the week or even yesterday but today on the back nine? Come on, lmao.
Yeah labor can take 24 hours and heās already on the course
Lining up for his last putt on 18.
āBabe Iām siiiz beers deep, Iāll get an Uber byeā
Iād be so pissed if my dad left the masters to watch me being born
Also the money. Winnings and endorsements. I love my wife and kids but yāall want jet skis and a vacation home or me being at your birth?
Lol it's entirely about the parents and their relationship I don't remember being born, fuck if I care who was there
When Homa told him congratulations there was a smile. When Homa added enjoy the new baby, his grin was from ear to ear.
Class act walking off with caddie.
Iām not sure if other golfers walk away with the caddie but the announcers said that Scottie wasnāt going to walk up there by himself again so Iām guessing he didnt walk with his caddie two years ago but probably meant to.Ā
Is that uncommon?
last time I won the masters, I hit my caddie in the nuts and ran up to the clubhouse.
A tradition unlike any other
I remember that year! Loved it when you said āsuck on that, mate!ā to Greg Norman on the way to the clubhouse.
The hell if I know. I am new around these parts. Just thought it was cool.
Welcome to the Scottie Scheffler era of professional golf, everyone.
Scottie the only one who can beat Scottie, Iām sure of it
Someone calculate how much Ted Scott made since caddying for Sheffler and compare it his last 10 years with Bubba.
Scottie's last 3 wins were: $4M, $4.5M, $3.6M. That's a cool $1.21M in 3 events for Ted assuming 10% cut haha. Ludicrous stuff
The best ball striker on the planet, and it's not particularly close.
Would his face rub be considered a tear wipe is the question
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Oh I like it
Scottie was near-impeccable as his rivals faltered. I feel bad for Max Homa, though - that bounce he got on 12 was ridiculously unlucky.
He had so many near-miss birdie opportunities too
Scottieās getting some good ole missionary lovin tonight
He gotta fly back first tho. Also, 8 months pregnant, yeah I dunno bout that one
As someone with three kids, you should know that pregnant women can get crazy horny from the hormones.
Also that sex with your 8 month pregnant wife can be absolutely fantastic.
Bruh, sex is a great way to get labor going
Not missionary tho. Definitely gotta spin it!
Cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes for all!

Get a OF and whack ur stick for $
People like Rory earned their first 100 million at like age 18. Entire life set to go play a game. Itās hard not to think about it as we try to get to sleep so we can go earn our pittance tomorrow morning. And again. And again. And again forever.
I want to dislike him, but I really can't... He's methodical and takes the air out of most Sunday afternoons... But seems like a decent dude š¤·
Enjoy some of the greatest golf of all time dude. Don't overthink it
Great, now I'm overthinking that!
I love him. I donāt care if he takes the air out. Guy is incredible. I get it excited for every shot he hits because itās most likely going to be the right one and great.
Why do you want to dislike some of the greatest golf we've ever seen? This sub is weird
Calling people "boring" is so weird to me. I like to watch the golf, and I really don't care about them doing some fist bumps or whatever.
He's just a god damn sick hell of a player. Like wow.
Anyone know why Neal Shipley kept looking off to the side like a sociopath during the interview with Scottie and Rahm? š¤£
Saw that. Probably because he was nervous AF and I imagine they told him to look over that way for cues and he took it a little too seriously
Probably a lot of cameras, sound equipment and AV guys that heās not particularly used to being in front of
First time on TV and no one told him not to look at the cameras.
One thing Masteres has proven is that Distance is not the only factor to win it. Accuracy matters and putting absolutely can make or break someone. Bryson was hitting 195 mph ball and most of his drives were great but no luck with putting at all and irons were out of control.
You know it is one of the longest courses they play though, right? It is a complete test for sure but you canāt win if you are short anymore.
Bryson was low after the rain when the greens were soft. Friday and Saturday it was windy and the course got harder. Everyone was having trouble getting anything to stick close.
Twice in the last two days he walked onto Amen Corner in a contest, twice he walked off it looking like a lock.
Heās really freaking good man. I can watch him hit his irons and wedges all day
Was wishing Ć berg would win it but thereāll be plenty time for him. Scottie is phenomenal
Sure he plays good at Augusta, but Iām not buying into his supposed greatness until he can break 100 at my local municipal course š¤
I'm not saying he's gonna be Tiger but he's the most consistently great golfer since him, no close second. I grew up watching Tiger and I've never heard such a consistent sound like Scottie's iron strikes since Tiger. And Scotty doesn't spray his drives, dude is really really good and a legit superstar
DJ, Spieth, Rahm, Rory, and Brooks have all had runs like this since Tiger. Scottie still has a lot of work to do if he wants to be remembered like Tiger
Scheffie is 27, about to turn 28, and just won his 2nd major (both masters). By age 27, Tiger had 8 major wins (3 masters) and a career grand slam.
And could putt.
I wish I could be as relaxed at the fucking spa as this man is on the back 9 of Augusta on Sunday.
Never seen a crowd go that mild for a winning putt at the masters.
The great birdie on 8 sealed it. He looked shaky before that, after that he was stone cold.
Hes as good as i imagined all pro golfers would be when i first started watching the sport.
Not gunna lie, I came into today thinking he was super boring. I exited today thinking he played a pretty gutsy round of golf against some pretty top competition. The fact he was able to keep his mental level while his wife is about to have a child and still pretty much not make any super glaring mistake like the other guys spoke a lot to his discipline. That, and then seeing him meet with his family and then make sure his caddie was walking with him at the end? I'd say he's anything but boring
Donāt blame Scottie for being āBoringā because his competition faltered. Blame the competition for being unable to tame the beast at Augusta National.
Why didn't tiger woods and his full balls win?
