21 year old Jordan Spieth -14 thru 36 Holes ties the Masters Record for low score at the end of Round 2 joining Raymond Floyd who also shot 131 through 36 holes 39 years ago in 1976. Spieth is the youngest ever to lead at the halfway mark and missed tying the low score through 36 in ANY Major Tournament (130) when his 7 foot putt for Birdie on 18 somehow failed to break right and barely missed left of the hole. Legendary Round. Spieth won Tiger's Tournament in Orlqando by 10 strokes. Calling Card.
Correction to the above: Jordan Spieth's 14-under 130 through two rounds at Augusta National is a new Masters scoring record, breaking Raymond Floyd's old record of 13-under 131 through 36 holes. It also tied the 36-hole major championship record of 130. Spieth made 15 birdies through two rounds and has his sights set on Tiger Woods' all-time Masters scoring record. Among the records he could break: 54-hole Masters scoring record: 16-under 200 (Tiger Woods, 1997) 72-hole Masters scoring record: 18-under 270 (Tiger Woods, 1997) 72-hole major scoring record to par: 19 under (Tiger Woods, 2000 Open) 72-hole major scoring record aggregate: 265 (David Toms, 2001 PGA Championship Masters birdie record: 25 (Phil Mickelson, 2001) If Spieth shoots, say, 69-68 this weekend, the first three fall. If he shoots 67-66 then all five would likely fall.
Biggest "buzz" around the tournament right now is because of basically what you said above but a commentator said a similar thing...NBC guy, I believe right after Round 3 ended something alone the lines of "Jordan shoots 71, which is entirely possible and would be respectable considering what he's done and some guys will be back in it. Not (mumbles unintelligibly) Hoffman (stated in a tone as though it was OBVIOUS "not Hoffman"....that Hoffman had no chance whatsoever) so there are some saying that Hoffman is pretty pissed. He hasn't destroyed a hotel room or gone after anyone with a 9 Iron (yet) but its being said he's pretty fired up. Understandably. How would you feel you are 10 under thru 36 at the Masters and some commentator says that? Yeah....its prolly true...debate can be made that he's commentating honestly but should a commentator have said that? This is gonna be interesting. Sorry for the wall of text, the website is still down for me and I'm having to connect through a metal clotheshanger stuck in the back of a router in the Nertherlands and java is blocked so html is limited....no spaces, boldiing, italics...barely even this.
My opinion is the commentator was not in the wrong to say it. He's paid to commentate and he is doing so honestly per his opinion. I don't know Hoffman's performance record, another poster here on RX wrote "Hoffman does that, comes out strong then fades" or something to that effect...in this thread or another Masters one. If thats true then the commentator SHOULD say this, shouldn't he? If he is to be a good commentator? Word is Hoffman ain't upset with the commentator just..."Bulletin Board Material" to him and his wife Stacy. Hoffman is gonna be a Man on a Mission though whatevers what. Great...for the tourney & competition IMO.
He booked the bet directly after the first dusts had settled upon the Earth, when there wasn't even animals just a kiosk. Dude knows what he's doing with futures...we could learn from him, theres opportunities around us right now. He sees them, a group of them and he hurls money at them like Basquiat throwed paint at a canvas.
Everybody on the first page of the board has a chance, even Hoffman. If a Mike Weir can win that tournament, then Hoffman can. The problem for the leader is things always tighten up on the weekend. Ask Greg Norman or McIlroy how hard it is to win the Masters with a big lead. I think the best chance for Spieth to keep his big lead or run away with it is for the course to stay wet and the greens soft. If the course dries out further today, Spieth will start feeling the heat from the big hitters.Ba‘al Zəvûv;11049803 said:
