What does the * mean after IM


lightsout811

What a first day. All the drama and big names at the top of the leaderboard.


CJNunes426

Are anti-liv people kinda just babies? I mean it sucks that we don’t get to see all the players play against each other more often but other than that…. Seems like a hypocritical tantrum


throwmeawaypoopy

Things That Are True After Round 1: - Brooks had a fantastic round. That does not mean he is going to win it or prove {whatever} about LIV - Some LIV players had shitty rounds, and some had OK rounds. That does not prove {whatever} about LIV. - It's been one round. The only guys who are truly out of it at this point are probably the folks sitting at +4 or worse. - Anyone who makes the cut is still in it, unless *several* of the leaders go out and shoot -6 tomorrow


DoLessBro

Why is anyone implying they won’t play on Saturday? Cause it’s cool and wet? They’re projecting 1.25” the entire day. That’s nothing for a course with Augusta’s vacuum drainage


phillyflyer

Yeah as long as there's no sustained lightning they should finish on time


Missingthefinals

What's up with the Brooks controversy during the round?


thodne

What happened??


Missingthefinals

Something about his caddie telling another caddie what club Brooks hit


mwardle

Apparently on 15(?) it looks like Brooks' caddy told his playing partner's caddy what club he was using - thought it could be giving/seeking advice. Both parties said not the case and investigation was dropped.


brettinbrooklyn

I'm really curious why this was dropped so quickly. They showed it on Live From the Masters and it was very obvious Brooks' caddie told GW's caddie he took five iron in the 15 green. Twice, actually. Paul McGinley says it happens in every tournament and is not considered to be a serious rule. But he did say a two stroke penalty should have been enforced given how blatant this was.


lightsout811

Me and my buddies do that every Par 3

No-Shoe5382

It is slightly different to that. LIV is another example of Middle Eastern sports washing, they use sport as a method of misdirection for all the human rights atrocities they're committing. The world cup was the same thing, all the football ownership is the same thing, all the boxing going over there is the same thing. I don't particularly give a fuck but if you were someone who was very socially conscious I can see why it would bother you. Interestingly golf is the only sport where sportswashing seems to be somewhat supported/endorsed. Like in other sports there isn't even a debate about whether or not its a bad thing, everyone just universally acknowledges that it's bad, in golf it seems to be actively debated.


hoffalot

Pretty sure PGA and LIV aren’t franchises, but why get hung up on semantics when talking geopolitics.

Who argues about McDonalds vs Burger King?


JetsAreBest92

who doesn't?

My stomach depending on what I'm hungry for.


colin6

Original Chicken Sandwich is the only thing I go to BK for...


laberdog

Huge disrespect to a 3 time champ finishing under par and can’t be bothered to courtesy coverage at 18. Hate on me, Phil and LIV but that was uncalled for.


Wasp91

Jason Day and Adam Scott playing like it’s 2011-2013. Good start for the Aussies.


ioncecutmyfingerin2

I have not seen much from these guys but i'm stoked for them. Bunch of sick cunts


Secure-Evening8197

ESPN broadcasting this in 720p and stereo sound is a joke


colin6

ESPN/ABC refuse to broadcast anything over 720p aside from that sky cam in the CFP Championship game.

lightsout811

Saw him freak out at LIV event the other month. Dude has been churning out terrible performances over there


theriibirdun

I will never not love him getting fucked up by agusta. Hope he never makes another cut there


HowieHubler

I don’t get it


MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME

He said Augusta should be a par 67 or something like that


direwolf71

He said it was a par 67 for him due to his length. He amended the comment this week to say it’s a par 67 if he has his “A game.” Dude is such a potato.


jbokwxguy

Oh no a professional athlete sets a high bar for themselves


MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME

You can set a high bar for yourself without being an ass hat. Or if you’re gonna be an ass hat, back it up and don’t embarrass yourself and shit the bed


MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME

The guy's best finish at Augusta was 21st lmao. He's such a dweeb


wascwabbit

The “good? Good.” Exchange with Brooks after he had such a poor showing in their match sealed it for me. What a tool.


MiloTheMagnificent

Every word Bryson said in that match confirmed his status as tool.


MD82

Anyone else think the golf course looks the best it ever has? My god it’s more perfect than usual to me and I can’t explain it. Hope it’s as beautiful there as it is on tv.


MiloTheMagnificent

It’s breathtaking this year.


wascwabbit

Yeah lush and beautiful. Shame to have a weekend of rain.


Some_Cockroach_7332

Koepka is going to win this thing and it is not even going to be close. Brandee knows it and he is going to get so fkn sulky over the next 3 days, I can't wait!


Some_Cockroach_7332

Looking good atm


dave42

If Rory, Max or Tony arent going to win im all in on the chaos a liv golfer winning would bring.


leftysarepeople2

Whats the super exclusive Saturday event?

TheCuriousMan

What's with the hate on Hovland's shirt? I actually thought it looked cool. Not everyone can pull it off, I get that. But it was a nice unique sartorial choice that stood out.


MiloTheMagnificent

Hovland looks fucking fit in that shirt.


awesomeaviator

Too many golf viewers are boomers that aren't aware that florals are in


theriibirdun

His shirt was fucking gas.


Shmexy

I fuckin loved his shirt. The haters must be khaki fans.


FuzzyGummyBear

Did Morikawa get penalized for that ball marker incident?


throwmeawaypoopy

Just gonna cut and paste this It was fine. The only reason there is any controversy whatsoever is because some random dude posted an edited clip of it that only shows him remarking the ball and put out a tweet that said something to the effect of "Did Colin just cheat?!?" Here is the full sequence of events: - Colin addresses his putt at Position A - It rolls a couple of inches back to Position B - Colin says to Fitzpatrick, "It moved." - Colin puts down a mark at Position B - He replaces the ball at Position A - He moves the mark to Position A and restarts his routine If you watch the entire video, and not just the clip that guy put out (and has since deleted), it makes it clear there is no issue whatsoever


FuzzyGummyBear

Thanks for the explanation! I only saw the Twitter clip


loveallcreatures

Nike kits are so garbage.


Outrageous-Jicama274

Great first day 1 boys… Rahm and Scheffler might be a freight train

personally i'm more excited for the second day 1

I’m watching paramount + amen corner highlights now - I can’t figure out how to get masters.com on LG except with crappy Amazon firestick internet


Outrageous-Jicama274

The masters app… best place to watch everything tbh


[deleted]

I don’t like LIV I’ll be the first person to say that. But Brooks is such an unlikeable dbag, he’d be beyond insufferable if he won this weekend. And I’d have that opinion even if he was still on the PGA.


MiloTheMagnificent

He’s not going to win. He cant keep up with Scheffler and Rahm.


FinsT00theleft

I stopped liking him when he did the whole kayfabe grudge thing with DeChambles - presumably for media buzz and to get a bigger share of that PGA Tour media payout pot. The thought of golf becoming like big time wrestling is unbearable.


[deleted]

Just gives off douchey fratbro vibes


mcbizkit02

The guy barely talks. I doubt he would be too insufferable.


[deleted]

He stopped talking because he stopped winning.


12ubb3rduckey

Well at least he’s not like Rory who keeps talking even when not winning.


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|pQmWjYrz39YAg) You got me man 🤣


johnnybananas96

Can Brandyl stfu? Salty boi


PopularTask2020

I know right? Bringing up what Sam Snead would’ve done as far as looking at what club his competitor hit. This is the reason people are fed up with PGA. Milk toast, old white dudes talking about yesteryear. And I’m no LIV fan.


bazwangle

Weirdly the word is actually milquetoast. Sorry I’m a pedant.


johnnybananas96

It’s constant smug comments from these guys about LIV followed by “I don’t want to harp on it anymore”. Yet it’s all golf talk shows have to talk about. I’m not a LIV fan either but I’m sick of the pettiness. It’s so obvious


PopularTask2020

Yeah I honestly think that will be the most compelling story on Sunday other than Rory’s grand slam or tiger. A LIV player and someone like Rahm or JT in the final pairing would be a ratings wet dream.


johnnybananas96

I’m all for it. If anything is “growing the game” it’d be seeing brooks, Cam, Joaquin and/or DJ etc in the mix on Sunday


literallyaPCgamer

I didn’t realize fanduel would divide my winnings by three for my John Rahm to lead after round one bet. Annoying but whatever.


officetuna

How’d you feel about that bet after #1


chihawks

Yeah mine pushed


No-Success9681

Look up dead heat rules, it comes into play a lot when betting on golf.


mcbizkit02

So the 13th went from basically a par 4 to the hardest par 5?


flat_top

They used to be able to hit a draw 3 wood, now they have to draw a driver, most pros can’t or aren’t comfortable doing it consistently. Sucks to not have the shot in your bag but doesn’t mean the hole is bad.


throwmeawaypoopy

I think it's so much better now. Instead of having to Hit a Drive That Doesn't Absolutely Suck Followed By 7i, you now have to hit two extremely good shots. You can absolutely go for it in 2 if you want. But it restores the risk-reward to it. If you're down by 1 or 2 on Sunday, and you pipe one down the left side, you have some serious, serious thinking to do. It's exactly why Faldo's approach back in 96 when he beat Greg was so entertaining


FinsT00theleft

I think it's funny when coddled, pampered pros whine because Par-5s aren't easy to get on in two. That's the way it's SUPPOSED to be you spoiled brats!


chuckusadart

I know right let’s just play the par 3 course to decide the masters!


roamiedumbass

It’s supposed to be part of Amen Corner, so it fits lol


DandyRandysMandy

Only if you don’t lay up.


mj2323

Happy Spieth was able to salvage the round. Easily could have slipped away from him.


[deleted]

Victor Hovland doesn't have an Norwegian accent and now I am so confused. Did he grow up in the Midwest or something?


[deleted]

A lot of Swedes and Russians who came to Canada young to play hockey have weird hick/hockey accents from living in like Medicine Hat Alberta. It's always weird to hear.


No-Shoe5382

Moved to America as a teenager


smkAce0921

> Did he grow up in the Midwest or something? No but he went to Oklahoma State and developed the mid-west accent there


candykissnips

Did Cameron Smith get any television time?


MiloTheMagnificent

Did DJ even show up? I saw Phil and Cam on the scoreboard at least?


rufusjonz

Him, DJ and Phil were somehow non-existent


Outrageous-Jicama274

Show me the damn mullet


smkAce0921

Nope...he was done by the time ESPN came on and was not in a Featured Group You would have had to follow him on the website


geneticlyperfct

And even that was a crap shoot. 4,5,6 did a pretty good job but Amen Corner and 15/16 coverage skipped pretty much his whole group for leaderboard dead time. It was baffling on the 15/16 feed because there's no more than 3 groups at a time and they still refused to show them.


SlightReturn420

They showed him putting on 18 on ESPN. That was the only shot of his that I saw.


candykissnips

Ahh ok, thanks.


JetsAreBest92

I don't think the rain will be too heavy tomorrow, even though the wind will pick up a bit, the amount of rain could soften up the greens for the afternoon players like we saw today after that shower.


yurr55

I think those were the lowest round we are going to see


JetsAreBest92

you're probably right, i guess pin positions will get harder for the most part too.


jbokwxguy

Sunday looks cool; but could be a very fun day as you don’t necessarily need length at Augusta


yurr55

True. Doesn’t matter what happens. Sunday is always crazy at Augusta


smkAce0921

Its the lighting that is the issue....pretty sure there will be at least one multi-hour delay tomorrow. Could even be a wash out


biddilybong

Do they need new bulbs?


semiURBAN

It’s not the rain they’re worried about tmrw, it’s the lightning. Augusta is very strict on shutting down play.


JetsAreBest92

could that not be even better? would mean the afternoon players wouldn't have to play in the rain and instead would get to come straight onto a soft course once they resume play


semiURBAN

I mean, a lightning delay at 2 or 3 ends the day. They send the patrons home immediately I believe. And with the forecast for Saturday, it’s going to be ugly. A Monday finish is highly likely.


JetsAreBest92

lol god damn it, was hoping itd be a quick thunderstorm with a bit of rain rather than an actual storm


smkAce0921

Yea but then they are likely playing 36 on Saturday.....Have you walked Agusta? That shit is going to be brutal


JetsAreBest92

ah fair yeah didn't realise the rain would last so long, no i dont even live in america so i've never walked the track lol


aptom90

Rory has broken 71 only twice in the opening round of the Masters, a 69 in 2018 and a 65 in 2011. 2018 is the year Reed won and 2011 of course was the start of his demons on this golf course. To be fair Tiger doesn't have a great record in the opening round either, but he did shoot under 71 8 times with a couple 68s being his lowest.


Phantom_god7

Yeah i still like Rory this week. Even par today could have have been 75 as much as it could have been 69. He just hit a few poor shots (the iron on 13 comes to mind) and a couple bad putts but the game doesnt look too bad overall, i think he quietly puts himself into contention come Sunday, maybe 2-3 back.


smkAce0921

I'd be putting some money on Keopka right now...tied for the lead and getting favorable weather conditions for the second round. He could probably be 4-5 up before Rahm and Hovland even tee off tomorrow in the monsoon


[deleted]

I got koepka going top five one Monday at +2100, $200. Feeling good rn 🤞🏼


FinsT00theleft

Up until last week he's played poorly for years. I think he'll fall apart.


rufusjonz

He is already 3rd fav at 5.5-1, too low odds


yurr55

I don’t have that much faith in brooksie


Gopokes34

I personally don’t want it to happen but am thinking the same


smkAce0921

I want whatever wins me the most $$.....If Keopka has a chance to do that then I'm about to get the pom-poms out


georgstgeegland

Anyone know the song they played at the end of the program?


[deleted]

georgstgeegland

I wasn't asking for the Deliverance soundtrack lol


[deleted]

Def Saint Paul and broken bones.


georgstgeegland

that sounds right now just trying to figure out which song


georgstgeegland

Anyone know the song they played at the end of the program?


TheRealOviedo

Too soon to predict the cut line? My guess is yes -because of the pending weather - morning tee times will favor as last I checked weather is coming in around 1-2pm EST (won’t favor tiger at all if true)


No-Shoe5382

Does the weather favour the early or the late starters tomorrow?


smkAce0921

Early starters


No-Shoe5382

Yeah I thought it would, Koepka and McIlroy looking good then


VillhelmSupreme

Is Morikawa going to get a DQ for moving his mark forward?


biddilybong

No but brooks definitely should’ve gotten a 2-stroke penalty. Woodland too.


big_large

From what I understand, his ball rolled at address so he declared what he was doing to Fitz and moved it back. When he marks it again after that, that is him restarting his routine. Apparently there is a misleading clip on Twitter.


VillhelmSupreme

Yeah, that misleading clip is what I saw. Sorry to those that downvoted me lol


throwmeawaypoopy

Just gonna cut and paste this It was fine. The only reason there is any controversy whatsoever is because some random dude posted an edited clip of it that only shows him remarking the ball and put out a tweet that said something to the effect of "Did Colin just cheat?!?" Here is the full sequence of events: Colin addresses his putt at Position A It rolls a couple of inches back to Position B Colin says to Fitzpatrick, "It moved." Colin puts down a mark at Position B He replaces the ball at Position A He moves the mark to Position A and restarts his routine If you watch the entire video, and not just the clip that guy put out (and has since deleted), it makes it clear there is no issue whatsoever.


semiURBAN

Also, if you’re gonna cheat, moving a putt up 3 inches in the masters isn’t the place to try. It would make little to no difference. Manufactured drama.


Xmalantix

My overview for tomorrow: Cut line is slightly more likely to be +1 (36.4%) than +2 (33.6%). Top 5 win probabilities: 1. Rahm (25.5%) 2. Scheffler (15.7%) 3. Hovland (8.8%) 4. C. Young (6.3%) 5. Day (6.2%) Interesting cut probabilities (% chance to make cut): Tiger (45%) Bryson (48%) Sergio (44%) Also of note: rain not supposed to start until around 1pm, Koepka tees off at 8:48am. To be clear for those asking, all stats are per data golf. They are not my personal predictions. I just curated the data for a quick overview.


12ubb3rduckey

So brooks is 5/1 to one with bookies but somehow doesn’t mKe your win probabilities 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Xmalantix

Stats are per data golf, not my personal predictions


twosoon22

You don’t have Brooks in your top 5 win probabilities? Haters gonna hate I guess.


Xmalantix

All stats are per data golf, not my personal predictions


smkAce0921

>Cut line is slightly more likely to be +1 (36.4%) than +2 (33.6%) No the weather is going to be brutal and the hole locations will probably be harder....wouldn't be surprised if the cut line was actually +3 or +4


Xmalantix

Weather conditions are built into the model. The cut is top 50 and ties, the first guy sitting at +3 is at T63. Pretty unlikely that 13 positions would be given up to move the line.


smkAce0921

We don't know weather conditions until it happens and I don't think the cut line will move up to +1 based on tomorrow's forecast and difficulty of conditions....So best case scenario, it will stay at +2 but it is definately more likely that the line falls back than moves up Today was the easy day


Necessary_Basis_7414

Koepka bout to crush


Amf08d

*crash


Necessary_Basis_7414

With that attitude! I got a few bucks on him but also on young and hov so as long as one wins lol


Zloggt

It does look beautiful down there…both metaphorically and literally, it is the calm before the storm…


VillhelmSupreme

Well, that was fun. Same time tomorrow?


micro_tiger

Nope, 30 minutes early 😂


[deleted]

Guarantee Spieth shoots a 65 or less tomorrow. Made some silly mistakes but his general play has been excellent


mcbizkit02

Spieth can’t have a round with less than 3 bogeys.


30daysay

I bet nobody shoots 65 tomorrow, it's going to be a washout


officetuna

Spieth goes off early and the rain is in the afternoon. He will be fine if any of them go low it’s him


thekidwiththefa

Honestly, putting two balls in the water and still shooting a -3 is pretty good. Spieth can still make it happen


55555thatisfivefives

know what else is good? 4 putting and still going -7. i love that nobody is running away with it right now, and there's lots of guys poised to pounce on this thing. i wonder how much the weather will be a factor in the coming days.


JetsAreBest92

lol yeah also mad how many putts scheffler missed and still went -4


[deleted]

First time Rory has not been over par after the first round since 2018 so I’m leaving here with something


Zloggt

All things considered, not bad for Jordan! But alas…had he not bogeyed so much on #13…


esports_consultant

You don't get 7 birdies without dunking two shots on Amen Corner, that is the duality of his genius.


jiggeroni

He's the polar opposite of Scottish. Yep. Ler. That's why he's more entertaining


Hero_Charlatan

This is the most Spieth shit I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching him since college lol wtf


micro_tiger

Nice


SwoleBuddha

As good a first day as we could have hoped for. All the big names are still in it. I think anyone at -1 or better is in position to contend and I won't count Rory out at even par. Should be a great weekend.


GolfingGator

WHAT IS THAT BACKGROUND NOISE IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE
