Reed chips in for his second eagle of the day. If he can keep it going for one more day.... I'm in bottle opener heaven!!!

Last 33 holes... 14 birdies and 2 eagles. One Augusta National. Wow!

bottle opener heaven!!!

It's an elite club.

Rory and Reed in tomorrow's final group. Both playing lights out. Reed took Rory down in the Ryder Cup. They both will be highly competitive. This could shape up to be a really exciting Sunday at The Masters!!!!

I've got one guy in the final pairing anyway. And Bubba's "lurking". Reed and McIlroy played lights out today.

ZIMA FTMFW! The worst drunk of my life came off that swill.

This one’s been full of surprises. After shooting the lights out in R2 Leishman spun his wheels to go nowhere on moving day. Makes me think Reed and McIlroy won’t go to plan. My tip? One stinks it up, one pulls away. I think Reed will wear the jacket.

One hour until the CBS coverage begins. Leaderboard shows the players on the course are scoring. 1/4" of rain last night and the course is kissing the backside of the players. We could see record low scores from any number of these guys today.
Rory under more pressure than Reed. Rory has the pressure of winning the last leg of the Grand Slam. He's admitted to that pressure himself. Reed excels in match play. He's already 3 up with 18 to play. If he will accept it as just another match play event, he should have a slight edge.
Ricky and Rahm are hovering in the bushes. Either one can go low on any given day. If Reed and Rory both go in the tank, that brings a couple of the others into contention. Stenson is sitting there with Ricky and Rahm. Just don't have the same trust that Stenson can "bring it" enough to find the Green Jacket. Stranger things have happened, though.
I'd like to see Reed and Rory go to 18 with Reed up by one. A birdie by Rory or a bogie by Reed would send it into a playoff. As they approach 18, we already have Fowler and Rahm in the clubhouse at the same score as Rory. A hiccup by Reed could see a 4-man playoff. Suspense up until the last putt drops.

Aaaaand Bubba putts into the bunker.

I predict Reed shits the bed ... there, I said it.

He sure didn't handle his tee shot off #1 very well.

 

[limpalong]

Rory shanks his drive off #1. Sheesh! Amateurs both!!!!!

 

[limpalong]

Rory certainly on fire to begin his round. Reed struggling.

 

[limpalong]

McElroy felt sorry for Reed and missed his putt to tie it up.

Tiger 3-jacks the final hole to end at +1. He played pretty well. Showed he can still compete with the young'uns.

I thought I used deodorant this morning. Evidently not......
