That Niemann approach shot on 7 was incredible

That was ******* crazy, particularly when that was exactly what they were trying to do.

Massive blue balls missing the putt though

I've been saying for years that the Master's has the worst television coverage of any golf tournament. A regular PGA Tour event has better coverage.

The Masters app is a game changer.

This course is just an absolute nightmare if you aren't playing well enough to place your approach shots correctly. Get on the wrong side of the hole and you're just praying to get it up and down or two putt.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I absolutely love the The Master's but listening to these announcers completely over evaluate every little thing just wears me out.

Still doesn't have a main broadcast until 2pm CST. Every PGA Tour event has a main broadcast start at 8 am CST along with all the featured groups and featured holes. I have no idea why the biggest golf tournament doesn't have a main broadcast all day.

Pretty simple, they don't need the money. They can hold out and have full control like they do with absolutely no obligation to relinquish any of that control. Hell, it was huge when you started getting more than just the back 9 from the leaders on Saturday and Sunday.

But they already have featured group and featured hole coverage all day on ESPN+ just like every other tournament. Just add one more feed.

Wind picking up.

Langer making the cut would be ridiculous (in a good way) considering all the young talent that's going to miss it.

But it's the Master.

The coverage is a bit interesting as I though ESPN had early round coverage. I have watched the last couple days on Paramount plus. Sure it's just certain holes/feature group but its gotta decrease ESPN viewership.

I like listening to Smylie so much more than Colt as an analyst

I would love to hear Jim Nance's flowery prose on this guys "shot making". In this case, hope he hit the water.

Wasn’t all that long ago they didn’t let you see front nine like it was some damned state secret.

I don't mind Colt, though I get why others do, but Smylie is awesome. Just has a natural way about him

 

[cycloneG]

Couples is also inside the cut line, currently.

 

[Cyclonepride]

JT is playing really well if he could keep his driver in check.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Couples is also inside the cut line, currently.

 

[TitanClone]

I still love watching him swing a club. So smooth.

Him and Louis Oosthuizen are the 2 I've always tried to imitate
