The Masters

[tm4tj]

Hotting up nicely this year again.

Can Rory win a major?

He certainly is in the best position, although Tiger is looking menacing. Fantastic setting Augusta, absolutely immaculate course for one of the great golfing occasions in the world.

Rory just dropped a shot and pack are snapping at his heels now, see if he can take the heat, would love to see him win but if no would be great to see Lee Westwood pick up a major

Would love to see Rory win at as I have a few quid on him @ 33's

Well in control going into the last round ,yer bet looks good DC

[tm4tj]

Rory just about to set off for what could be a huge step for him, good luck to the lad.

Time to settle down and take in the final round, should be an excellent evenings entertainment.

I've had the privilege of playing there. Good course, a few really tough holes, and I lost a load of balls. It obviously wasn't as immaculate as it looks for the Masters, and it was also cold and wet.

No hang on....Auchterarder. That was it, Auchterarder.

Easy mistake to make

Rory has made an inglorious start, bogeying the first while everybody and their dog is chipping in and he is struggling at the par five second, ooooerrrr.

[tm4tj]

Oh boy, the one man he didn't want breathing down his neck so early has just eagled the eighth in spectacular fashion. The Tiger is on a charge.

Dig deep young McIlroy.

if not a european then please not a yank

Ouch. But it's not you I'll be feeling sorry for. :unhappy:

[tm4tj]

McIlroy has collapsed completely,unable to sink a putt from more than two feet, unbelievable, four putted the twelfth (wow, that looks like a weird word).

He has completely exploded now and just needs to get off the course, the pressure has obviously got to him, very disturbing to see.

Everyone else is peppering the pins and Rory is playing like a beginner.

Yer money is safe with the bookies DC.

[Heilandee]

Poor Rory ,painful to watch.

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

If only I'd taken my mates advice , he had ?5 each way @ 80/1 and ?2.50 each way @ 100/1 on the winner .

A great shame for Rory but apart from that it was fantastic to watch. With just a few holes to play, any one of 9 players could have won it. There was the drama of Donald hitting the flag with his 2nd to the 18th and the ball richocheting off the green only for him to hole his chip back for a birdie and then the 3 aussies surging through the field only to be pipped at the end by the South African with 4 birdies in the last 4 holes. I don't suppose the Scottish Open will have quite the same drama but there will be a lot of good players on show and the excitement of the Masters should help to boost attendance.
