World No.3 Day has gone close before but his form has been patchy. Rahm, who has only played in 22 PGA Tour events, already has a victory and five top-five finishes this season and is ranked No. 12 in the world.
“That’s the exciting part about this golf course”.
“But I feel as though I have played here enough in different conditions that I should be fine”, he said. But really, the best thing about playing with those guys is watching how they do it; the lines they take off the tees are always interesting.
Rainy weather caused the final round to be delayed two hours.
Of course, The Masters is about golf, but it’s also about so much more.
“It’s been a relatively quiet buildup to the Masters for me, which has been quite nice”, McIlroy said.
“I’m really excited to be at Augusta; this time last month I wasn’t in the Masters”, said Leishman. I’ve been trying to plan my whole schedule around it and my preparation around it for the last six months or so.
Back in December, when Spieth returned to Augusta National for the first time since that fateful day to play a round with friends, he was thinking about what happened on the last day of the Masters. “If you don’t have that it’s hard to compete against the best players in the world”. Canadian Adam Hadwin trails at +8,000, and defending champion Danny Willett sits at a distant +10,000.
Since that collapse in Georgia almost one year ago, Spieth has scored victories in the Dean & DeLuca Invitational and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and played a prominent role in the US team’s Ryder Cup victory. “You can never give up, because it takes either a lapse of concentration from someone else or a moment of brilliance from yourself to turn things around”. It’s the biggest course I’ve ever seen for that. I really like the look of everything. “It’s not good for us if he keeps it going and keeps playing like that”. It is a feat only five players have accomplished – Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan and Gary Player. “You’re going to have to be careful where you hit it and try to make pars”. “That’ll totally redeem it”, Spieth said.
The bottom line for Spieth is he just needs to complete his first round on Thursday. “If you ask every single player, that wouldn’t be a question”.
They made the trip up from Palm Beach, Florida. Dustin Johnson will be 32 years old, and has gotten off to a solid start in 2017.
“It’s very very impressive what he is doing”, said Fleetwood. I feel like I’ve been right to y’all in that sense and no one’s told me otherwise.
Although his practice sessions with three of the best golfers in the world have given the young amateur a wealth of knowledge, Luck’s game plan is simple, enjoy the week and have fun. The former UNLV golfer has been in the PGA Tour since the 2000 season.
