Masters 2nd Round 2018

and PHIL is off this morning. I will be out early this afternoon til tomorrow night. So my posting is light today and late on Saturday. So someone open up a thread for the 1st weekend round.

Let's go PHIL with a 66

The pin spots will be favoring scoring on the front half of course

Phil is the featured online group. Free...unlike pgatour.com. Phil and Getson doing a lot of swing rehearsals on range. Hope he's dialed in.

Not a good drive, into the left side, bounced back out a little, but may have restrictions, imo,

Kuch is right behind Phil, same line....thread the needle through the trees or short kick out to the right... what will it be?  Kuch going short forward kick out.

Now Phil...looking kick out...don't get too cute...wow, he did a harder fade-cut swing and it made a 90-degree turn in the air and rolled up onto the green before rolling back off.

Phil elected to putt it onto the green and left it like 10 feet short... need a long putt to save par or going to bogie...golly, while Kuch who had a long chip shot put it to about 4-5 feet.

Par SAVE !!!, wow (don't scare me like that!!).

the putter is still working

if he can have just average ball striking, he shoots 25 under this week

Yea, made the birdie at 2!!, now to -3 !!

Come on Phil, need to make some of those 10-12 footers if you want to climb the leaderboard!!

nice par save at #1 and a bird at #2 then a par at #3

needs an up and down at #4 from behind

Dam it!, missed a 9 footer?.  Hit that too far downwind to the green and then chipped it too close to the flag.....and missed the makeable putt, and especially since Speith is +2 today....and that Kuch is like a cat, been using some of those 9 lives.

I get online and PHIL misses his par putt!!!

Patience for both of us!

Getting up and down is brutal. Everything rolling way past hole.

Now he's gone fairway bunker to back bunker....not good.

Mercy in the bunker at #5

whew a par!!!

nearly a bird!!!

miss a chance for the lead at #7---patience

Just wasted a shot going in the bunker, ugh.

Can't seem to get birdies to fall. 6th and 7th hole misses were unfortunate . Gonna wish they fell.
Now in trees on 9.

Ping-pong....Tried to thread it through the trees and bounced back/off a tree.  Bogie or worse. Crap, he's even deeper in than he was the first time, hitting 3... may need a drop from the gallery stands, but short sided, needs up-and-down to salvage bogie.

Devastating hole. He could be playing himself right out of the tournament.

Triple bogie.... due to Bad driving again. Can't make birdies from the woods, but you can make bogies and worse.

Why can't a guy with his talent hit the fairway as he says AVERAGE!!!!

looking like an MC coming. Just water balled on 12

another nuclear meltdown from Phil

That should do it. Possible MC now.
