The Masters 2022 edition

Never to early for a Masters thread.

McIlroy may well be a late bloomer. He'd be a popular winner, I believe.

Popular for sure, but I can't see him ever putting well enough to win

Eguller Will this be the one with the new Ford Ranger, as Grand Prize??

We want Phil! We want Phil! 🤣

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 Hey, Hey, Hey, I called for him already, no room on the Phil bandwagon. @Eguller : I have Phil -14 expecting a media shock when he shows up on the 1st tee

garyt1957

Bravopilot I'm disappointed they told him not to come. Nothing he did had any effect on the Masters in any way. Let him face the music and move on. Yes, the first day it might have taken away from the actual tournament but after that it would have been fine. I'd absolutely love to see Phil win the US Open just to watch the golf world explode.

Rory and Brooks will take it down to the wire and then either Sam Burns or Justin Thomas will shoot a final round 64 to edge both of them out.

Don't know why that vision just came upon me. Since I'm about the worst sports handicapper there is I wouldn't bet even a small amount on it. I'd still make a reasonable bet that Rory will win a Masters and get his career slam before it's all over - pretty sure that will still happen.

garyt1957 Popular for sure, but I can't see him ever putting well enough to win

He seems " streaky" with the putter which is why I wouldn't count him out. He could change putters for the 90th time, have a good 4 days and win. The next week, same putter, easier greens have 10 3 putts in the first round.

garyt1957 if he gets his wedge game in order enough where the putting actually matters!

Typhoon He seems " streaky" with the putter

He is streaky with the putter, but it seems to me he can't putt when it counts then when he's out of it and the pressure's off he starts making putts and shoots a 64 on the last day to move up, but never really contend. This might not be the case at all, but it seems that's the way it goes to me

Eguller

Yep. At times, he seems to have trouble controlling his spin. 🙄

Eguller I'd add distance and directional control to that too, but mostly distance control

darpar

If Cam Smith putts like he did a couple weeks ago.....look out!

Not sure what vehicle LogicalOne or Bravopilot is putting up for the Winner.... I heard rumor of this one:

Eguller Reason I asked was because I just got this one fixed, and could donate it...
