McIlroy making a hole of this round.
2013 Golf Majors
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
Unless Tiger picks up a couple of shots today I don't think he'll be in contention tomorrow. Day looks to be really unfussy and effective at the moment.
The course has become hard since morning, I think the leader today might be 4 under par. Look, couples is going backwards now. Day will get his share soon
Very steady play from Snedeker today so far. Nine pars in a row and now out onto the back nine where birdies opportunities are more plentiful. He's bang in with a shout still.
I really can't believe the Tiger 3 putt at 11. He still isn't quite on it. At least he followed it up with a bird. Another one necessary on the next.
At the moment I'm seeing the winner from:
Day
Rose (if he pulls his finger out - home more than expectation)
Woods
Kuchar
Dufner
Snedeker
Scott
The others up there I see fading, or at least not keeping their current level up.

Don't count Angel out, he eats masters for lunch.
I had a feeling that Jason Day would do well here this year.
Tiger needs to pick up a few shots in the final few holes to make this interesting.

how is the argie cabrera doing?
Literally just taken outright lead on -7.
EDIT: I might have to retract my thoughts on him.

Every putt Cabrera strikes is finding the hole. It's not possible to keep that up, not least on greens as treacherous as Augusta. He'll level out in the next five or six holes alá Dustin Johnson yesterday.
Kuchar and Stricker are huge dangers loitering where they are. It's shaping up to be a fantastic weekend.

He was caught touching himself in the woods. Typical Argie.
Matt Kuchar always seems in and around the leaders in these majors. But never comes close enough to winning.
I that is what I was saying a couple of years ago, but he kept on making those putts.
Cabrera crumbling already.
Class recovery from the trees just there though.
Superb shot by Cabrera there...one of best of the tournament so far...
Absolutely gutted with Westwood and Rose. Distinctly average rounds don't win majors, and they've both been average. Poor infact. Rose +2, Westwood ***. The shots were there for the taking, but the putting has let them both down. Best I can hope for is a good performance and a place tomorrow.
Ahh, Cabrera so unlucky with his third there.
As I was saying! 
In fairness though, Cabrera is playing fierce well. Thoroughly deserves to be in contention.

well i just want him to be tomorrow in the fight just to add some spice
I love the man. Won me a tidy sum years ago!
From a betting point of view at a far bigger price he was a better proposition than the likes of Westwood...

Langhard's putt catching the hole on 18 cost me £300.
How so? Two-ball match accumulator?
Adam Scott is motoring well now. Barring his implosion coming down the straight in 2011, he's a model of consistency here.
Snedeker with an absolute dream tee-shot on 16.
Short birdie putt for a share of the lead now.

Come on Snedeker. Consistent all 3 rounds so far.
Yeah. £2 on woods, schwarzer, Donald, kuchar, fowler. Then Garcia to draw with Langer.
His first two rounds were a little up and down, but that was to be expected as he was coming back from injury. He's been different class today though. If he plays like this tomorrow, he's our winner.
I have Day and Snedeker backed, I'm just hoping one of them holds on now!
Tiger has had some awful luck this week. If he hadn't hit the stick on 15 Friday and the eagle putt on 13 had dropped today instead of that ridiculous lip out -- both things which can't happen more than once out of 500 tries -- he could conceivably be in the clubhouse right now at -8 at minimum, possibly even -9 with the tournament in his hands. As it is, you figure he needs at least a 66 tomorrow to even have a chance.
True but he still finished under par on both days didn't he?
Yeah, but it was very stop-start from him. Birdie a hole, bogey the next, and so on. This round has been twelve pars in a row, and then birdies on three of the next four holes. As you said, ultra consistent.
Leishman and Cabrera both peppering the pin at the 16th. Great play.
Snedeker is on the verge of becoming one of golf's elite. After tomorrow he has a chance to, in 7 months, have won the Tour Championship, FedEx Cup, AT&T at Pebble Beach and the Masters with three top-3's in between.
snedeker with a bad shot, he was lucky the ball bounced back to the green
He was arguably the best player in the world over the past six months prior to his injury. He was consistency personified.
That bastard shouting 'ridonkulous' at every tee shot on the 18th is pissing me off. Must be so annoying to stand next to him.
Did that spectator just shout 'redonkulous'?
