OT: The Masters

Figured since it was almost over and it's the offseason I would start a thread for those of us watching this Spieth epic collapse...wow.

I picked Willett in a pool....come on baby

Love the Masters and the Kentucky Derby ... 2 rites of spring.

The Masters is the best tournament of the year IMO ... the golf and the course are spectacular.

I used to include the draft in that list ... liked it better when it was on Saturday and Sunday.

Collapse, yes, but I save "epic collapse" for extended monumental failures like the 2004 Yankees (which IMO is the greatest collapse in the history of sports).

Now if Spieth had somehow lost last year's Masters, that would be an epic collapse.

I mean he had this year in the bag and blew it..biggest tournament in golf..that's a pretty epic collapse at least in my book

Spieth doing his best Peyton Manning impression

Feel bad for Spieth. Class act.

One blow up hole cost him a Green Jacket.

Hopefully his Under Armor buddy #12 can offer some consoling words.

I think he'll be just fine

Why the hell did they decide to only air that on NBA TV?

Spieth is 22-years-old, and has led 10 of the last rounds at the Masters. Unbelievable.

I can't get the orange ball to come out the right side of the Old North Church at the miniature golf place behind Party World in Natick.

Spieth has been less than impressive the past 2 months and that same game showed up this week. Errant tee shots/miss hits. The fact that this kid still managed to compensate sub par ball striking with exceptional course management and get a 2nd is pretty remarkable.

I get these games in a cable channel, too bad is not a prime time game in the us, too much at stake for both sides. Spurs are playing soft, I want them to win.

For me, golf has always been a game I enjoy playing but can't stand watching. Mind you, it's easy to respect what these guys are doing given the pressure they're under.

After shooting a commercial with him, Spieth went full Romo. You should never go full Romo.

The guy led the first 3 rounds of the Masters, would've won it if you could take away one hole, and is the #2 ranked golfer in the world. This weekend was his 5th consecutive tournament in the top 20.

What planet are you living on where that is considered "less than impressive"?

No offense but, I had no idea this many people watched golf. Thought that was the sport everyone ripped on people for watching.

Yeah that was quite the slugfest. I see Dubs winning WCF in 5. Cavs have a better shot at them than the Spurs do, OKC might too. Spurs can't run with the Dubs.

IMO course mgt/risk mitigation and emotional control is 9/10ths of these majors.

There is a reason Gary Woodland and Ricky Fowler have not won a major.

Everyone at this level has game.

If Spieth uses one more club on his shot on 12 he wins yesterday. He got a little too out of his game and got rattled.

Reminds me of good old George.

The Spurs are essentially playing a younger version of themselves. I can see them taking one, maybe two, games from the Warriors if the games are officiated fairly. Outside of that, it's Golden State's series to lose.
