Yep. His wedge game becomes suspect far too often on the weekends

His strokes gained for approach shots last week was his best in nearly 5 years which indicates that maybe the advice he got from Butch Harmon has had some positive impact.
Whether that will hold up under the pressure he's under at Augusta is another matter though. I'm sceptical of his chances, it's always talked of as a 2nd shot course and his accuracy with his irons and wedges is just nowhere near the level of the other top players. Plus he's had an inordinate number of big scores on holes this year, primarily due to going left off the tee which is the worst thing you can do at Augusta.
Rory’s the best driver in the World, but his short irons have been off, distance control in particular. But he can play short irons, if he gets that right this week and drive accurately then he’s in for a big week. His record at Augusta is actually pretty decent, he just needs to have one of those weeks where he’s super consistent.
fecking Fowler, should have shit the bed in the Par 3 Tourney.
Damn, Verne’s retiring after this year.
Damn, Ridley just said that they could play the Masters at 8000 yards.

Bryson with a sensational opening round unfortunately 
He get the benefit of the wind unlike all others players? Just watching tigers group on 2 and none of them got close to the green.Bryson with a sensational opening round unfortunately
Sad thing is he can treat the course like a par 67 if his three quarter game & mental game are dialed in. Disappointing.
What a break for Scheffler
Everyone playing in the afternoon getting fecked by the wind
Go Danny Willett.
Hope a LIV guy doesn't win this! The drama will be nauseating!
Ding ding ding.
Tbh everytime I have watched Liv recently I have felt that Bryson is in great touch and ripping the par 5’s apart. Yesterday was crazy but he still has a 76 in him somewhere. Rahm on other hand looks completely fried
Spieth with a 9 on the 15th hole, that’s his tournament over
That chip from behind the green in the water was brutal stuff. Not the first time he's made a quadruple bogey on this same hole.
Hell of a bird on four by Homa.
Rory having a day out at the beach today.
They've managed to get Sir Nick to put the whisky glass down for a bit.
He's trollied.

Really hope Max can pull it off
I thought he was consistent today. Bryson has been up and down between birdies and bogies. Scottie the same but slightly better.
Definitely agree. He looks a million times more relaxed than he did last year when the pressure clearly got to him. Think his up and down on the first hole round 1 was vital to help settle him down
Anyone but Bryson
I'm out of the loop but what the hell has happened to Hovland? He looked completely unstoppable at the end of last year.
Bryson's hit spectators like 3 times today... and is still somehow leading despite that wild form. Wide open this right now.
Absolutely brained that spectator.
Not sure either. Sure he has done this a couple times, been red hot then fell off a cliff, come back red hot a few months later.
The +1 and +2 list looks like a who's who right now! Tiger, Rory, Phil, Koepka, Clark, Garcia, Thomas with Rahm just behind.
More surprising is Willett at -4. Some of his shots feel like mine!

Scottie just having fun, cracking jokes, looks like he's just out with the boys for a casual round. The rest of the field don't have a chance man.
Trying to change his swing, on sky said he had 3 coaches in the last few months, no idea why he'd try that but that's why pretty much
Wind is intense!
Seems like a bad idea given how much he improved after hiring a short game coach!
Rory and Rahm may not even make the cut!
I understand the conditions are tough but the pace seems very very slow
6 over par for Bryson
The wind is a bit frustrating, I enjoy tough conditions but this seems pretty impossible to play in.
True - but I am also glad that conditions are tougher this afternoon relatively so the early starters yesterday when the greens were soft don't have a huge advantage
Especially after last years tournament where certain players absolute reaped the benefits of the Thursday/Friday times.
It's just 1 over today right?
Very lucky it went from +4 to +6
