RemoveSnyder Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I thought this a better plan than jamming another "golf" post into the Tiger Woods washed up thread. Who to root for? I usually tune in just to see the azalea bushes. Though, I'm really excited about this DeChambeau kid. That's who I'm rooting for. Every year it seems like Langer puts himself into contention for the weekend. Always liked his style. I'm a sucker for oldtimers who can grab a green jacket in the twilight of their standard tour playing careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Langer birdied 13. In his first round he birdies 13, 14 and 15, consecutively. Now at Even for the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Spieth dropped a shot on 7. Now he's missing his marks wide of the green on 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Bell Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 just like every other sport I'm not a fan of a particular team/player, I root for greatest history potential so now that Phil is gone, Jordan is probably who I am rooting for, although Rory and Day were both up there for me. And rooting for Dustin Johnson is to root for inevitable meltdown(s) so I choose to avoid that at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Was hoping Sergio could make a push just for more Sunday heartbreak. His tears and failures taste so good. At this point, I'm just rooting for a competitive final round with no runaway winner. I'd pull for history as well so Jordan winning 4/5 majors would be incredible to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langer still represents that high class station that years of private school helped me scent like truffles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langer still represents that high class station that years of private school helped me scent like truffles. Just saw on golf channel that it would be 31 years between masters wins for him. It would set the record. JN set it at 20 something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Langer having a shot to win is pretty crazy. He's 58. Watching Tom Watson take it past parallel at 66 is crazy too. I'm sad he didn't make the cut. You gotta think that Langer will fade tomorrow, but we shall see. I don't see Spieth giving it up. The next closest guys aren't that threatening, but anything can happen when you get to the back nine on Sunday. I was disappointed that Rory didn't play better today, I was hoping for an epic battle. He was just off all day long. Spieth was able to make a few birdies to somewhat offset his mistakes on the way in. I was surprised to see him stumble a bit, but it was a long grinding round. His mental game for me seems to be the closest thing to Tiger since Tiger. He just seems tougher between the ears than the other guys. And the putts he makes don't hurt his chances either.
