    Looks like DJs to lose.

    The class who may have pushed him hard have slipped away a bit.

    Hard to see Fritelli, I'm, Munoz or Ancer putting the heat on for the next 22 holes or so.
    Thomas looks like he's the main threat.
    Baring a complete collapse, DJ should see it through unless someone goes bananas with a 62 or 63.
    But the greens will undoubtedly be firmer tomorrow and potentially more difficult so it's hard to see a major push from those outside of 3 back.


    Rory again reversing into a top 5 finish.
    The first rounds killing him.

    Lowry quietly going about his business today on -4.

    One can only hope we have two Irishmen back door their way into Top 10 finishes.

    Would be nice to see Lowry finish strongly for sure.
    He was quite dispondant after the first round, claiming he "couldn't figure the place out".

    Some confidence for future renewals will be most welcome.

    It's hard to see Johnson losing it from here but I'd be betting (and I have) on Reed as the main danger.

    Reed clearly knows how to win there and rightly needs to be considered.
    JT in fairness had pedigree also.

    It's been a while since we have has a really really intense major Sunday.
    I for one am longing for one.

    The arse can tend to fall out of people on the back 9 on a Sunday around Augusta.

    Although I can’t see Dustin losing. He’s been almost flawless. Two bogeys in 3 rounds.

    The Masters famously "doesn't start until the back 9 on Sunday"

    The course will need dry out to compare to previous masters

    I suspect that the receptive greens will make defending a lead much easier than an April masters

    I don’t think Butch Harmon’s delayed commentary is adding anything to the coverage.


  • Registered Users Posts: 329 ✭✭wildrover444


    Considering all the big names at the top of leader board at start of play today its been a very poor Saturdays golf. Except from dj.

    So you’re not excited to know how good the Augusta wine cellar is for the 10th time?

    DJ home and hosed bar a major collapse it would seem


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,898 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    Really hope DJ sees this out tomorrow and wins in style. The bottler narrative that follows him is unfair given he's literally always up there on Sundays so inevitably is going to be seen losing in high pressure moments a lot. Incredible player.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,767 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Rahm has been dreadful today. Very lucky to not go in the drink at 15 too

    Whistling Straits anybody? Different player now obviously but never say never.

    I presume you mean Pebble Beach? He was bang unlucky at Whistling Straits

    It’s DJs brilliance that is putting the pressure on the others. I don’t think DJ is going to come backwards tomorrow. All he has to do is play steady unspectacular golf and he will walk away with it.

    He really should've won at pebble considering his record there in his first few years as a pro

    Should've won the Open that Clarke won too


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭gypsy79


    He might yet fall down the stairs

    Or if things go real bad, he can continuously shout "MUD BALL".


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,826 ✭✭✭monkeybutter


    DJ even you couldn't throw this away...


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,886 ✭✭✭✭Roger_007


    Rahm never recovered from the double bogey on the 8th.

    None of the bad shots were his fault though

    Ok I think I'm being harsh on him now

    Can't remember how many he should have won, it seemed repetitive there for a while

    No they were fault of either:
    - the caddy,
    - the wind,
    - the mud
    - the camera man.

    Select any one, (or two), from the above.
