The Masters

I haven't really bothered watching much of it really. Partly cos my concentration is woeful due to my mental health.
And partly because I assumed Scheffler would win anyway so couldn't be arsed.

Credit to Tommy Fleetwood on such a good finish. Also Scottie Scheffler, obvs Vijay Singh turned a 82 on Saturday into 72 yesterday so he didn't finish bottom.

Fleetwood had his best Masters finish (tied 3rd), with his regular caddie unavailable due to illness he called upon the services of 70 year old local caddie Gray Moore who will be expected to make around 8% of the $1,040.000.

Poppy McIlroy - take a bow

Normally I would focus on the top end of the leaderboard but a word for poor Nick Dunlap.
The American had the mother of all shockers in his first round carding an 18 over par round of 90 .
Oh dear oh dear oh dear .

Rose has started well, and McIlroy's going OK at the halfway mark.

The European charge is strong.
Rose at -8, McIlroy at -6, Hatton and Lowry at -5, Hoejgaard and Hovland at -4 and Aaberg at -3. However DeChambeau looms dangerously at one off the lead and Scheffler 3 off the lead on the American side.

Long way to go.

McIlroy has surged to the top of the leaderboard with a third round of 66 to put him at -12. At various stages his lead was three or four shots but the threat of Bryson DeChambeau looms large with the American having a late surge of his own to sit two back on -10. Canadian hope Corey Conners is at -8.

Well, we've been here before, and we well remember what happened last time. So let's hope for a new (better) script.

He's 3 up after 7...
