An emotional Jason Day will play in the Masters in the wake of his mother’s major cancer surgery. This week, it’s all about shaping a game that has been a bit sub-par (at least for Day) so far in 2017.

“I’ve always liked the course since I came here”, Johnson said.
Thomas was asked if he can needle Spieth about the 12th hole a year ago at the Masters, where Spieth put two in the water for a quadruple bogey that cost him a second straight green jacket. He won at Colonial and won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this year.
The 22-year old Englishman, who played for Team Europe in the Ryder Cup last year, attended NU for one quarter in 2013.
“This week I just feel a lot lighter, I feel refreshed, kind of in a way that all the hard stuff is behind us”. “I just knew that I had to be back home”. “No distractions would be good”. Day has twice finished in the top three here, and previous year he tied for 10th.
“I mean, as of right now, Dustin is playing so well, he’s making it look pretty easy”, world No. 24 Jimmy Walker said. “So to be able to have that happen and then be able to come here and get my mind off things is quite nice”. “But now it’s past and I’m thinking about playing golf”.
But when it comes to figuring out the Masters, it’s a little easier than the other majors.
Numerous players who want to play with Jack said they would do so in order to pick his mind about the course itself.
Not only does the technology of that time seem quaint, but now, because they’re connected to fans via social media and marketing campaigns a thousand times more sophisticated, athletes can choose how and when and even what to share in the public space.
So who will win the year’s first major? “I’m sure he knows everything you need to know there”. He tied for fourth, four shots behind victor Danny Willett. Spieth has played in three Masters, and never finished lower than second.

“My choice this week – Rory McIlroy”, Player said.
Fitzpatrick has won three times on the European Tour, most recently at the DP World Tour Championship in November.
In short, this year’s victor will likely come from the top 20 in the world, the same it has the past five years.
History may not be kind to first-timers in Augusta – only three players have won in their first attempts – but Rahm may just have the game to stick around and make things interesting.
The 81st edition of the Masters Tournament starts Thursday. “If that beeper goes off, I’m out of here”.
His initial take after a couple of practice rounds? I will do all I can to see all the positives and grind it out like we did in 2015. “Around the greens there’s no place like it. …”
“Having a chance to win a few years ago and not giving myself a chance since. internally that’s not good enough”.
Earlier in the day, before the Par 3 Contest began, the course was evacuated.
“I thought it was incredible that he made the trip”, Spieth said.
“If you want to win around here, you’re going to have to putt it well”.
“It was cool”, Luck said, describing how McIroy offered to play with him then promptly birdied the first two holes.
Wednesday: 25C, 100 per cent chance of rain through the day with potential strong storms and 1-2 inches of rain expected, SSE 14 mph winds. His four victories, the Arnold Palmer Tribute Monument on the 16th tee, his annual participation in our Honorary Starter ceremony, even his membership into our Club, all of them, outward displays of our love and affection for this very special man. In the past, she would have been disqualified.
The triumphs aren’t going unnoticed by the world’s No. 1 golfer. Now, he just needs to get over the hump. “It’s one of many tournaments I’ve lost given a certain performance on a hole or a stretch of holes”.

And he has no regrets over how last year’s tournament played out. So much for going out on a limb.
