Yep. It is so special.
Golf 2023

250 uphill four iron to a back pin to about 20 feet. Insane.
3w 50 yards, 3w 180 yards, 60 degree 20 yards, still 40ft away from pin for me, 4 putt obviously.
Looks like it will be absolute weather chaos the next three days in Augusta.
I assumed that would be the case. We have nonstop rain up here in the Carolinas from tonight till Sunday.
Can’t remember the last time a major ended on Monday or later due to weather.
McIlroy being interviewed while walking to his next shot. Seems odd, has that been a thing for a while that I've just missed?
Edit: and he's still going, now talking us through his shot and his plan for it. This is all a bit much

Came in here to say that I have never seen such before. Kind of like it. Obvs not every pro would want to do it or be as engaging as Rors.
e - don’t ‘kind of like it,’ absolutely love it.
I'm watching this basically for McIlroy and to see if he can finally win it, so I like it. But I kinda hate it too - he should just be focusing on his game no?
They do it in some other tournaments, but it's feckin wild one of the top guys doing it in a major is proper mental.
He offered to do it though, that's great. He's probably a good player for it as he's fairly comfortable with media, comms and talking.
I'd like it more in the "smaller" tournaments they play and the Ryder cup.
Augusta is the best place ever.
Mic’d up Ryder Cup players would be groovy as feck.
Wasn’t Augusta a par 67 to Bryson
Yep, just a piddly executive course to him.
Rory just can't get a 1st round going at all here, every single time
This has been a great first day. Leaderboard is absolutely stacked. With the weather that’s on the way this will be a great weekend’s golf
Homa is a great choice for the second walking interview.
He's one of the biggest ever dickheads in golf. Very me me me me me. Then whines about every little thing every time he doesn't get his own way.
Looking forward to the deflated ball to come into play at ANGC as soon as possible. Enough nine irons into 16 (granted the pin is up).
Rory need at least 2 birdies but really needs all 3 of these last holes imo
This amateur Bennett kid is shooting some good golf.
Impressive leaderboard thus far, me like.
Worth the nine minute investment…
Yeah, his downswing is really quite something.
Just another typical opening round at the Masters for McIlroy. One better than last year, I guess, but you already know he's not going to win this.
This tourney might morph into a battle of attrition due to the weather. Days might be extremely start / stop & possibly very long due to having to play more than eighteen holes a day.
That said, you’re right, Rory needed to be a bit higher up the leaderboard today.
Wow, the caddies are usually much more subtle than that.
Damn, the Masters caved & put LIV golfers in the featured groups. Unfortunately, Brooks has started hot.
Koepka crushing
Koepka In danger of running away with it. Rory is done this tournament, horrible start today, looks so nervous.
Good of Rory to tell us early on not to bother watching him. Frees up my afternoon a bit more
Was easy to forget that Koepkas decline recently was injury related. He’s sensational when healthy. Shame he and his mrs are everything that’s wrong with the world.
I still would though.
How do you mean?
They are just the epitome of an Instagram couple.
Ah ok. I thought I had missed something major to hear them described as everything that’s wrong with the world
Late / early may benefit Koepka immensely.
Rory not making it to Saturday.
