Nah. Really hard to follow up a round like this with something good tomorrow especially playing in the final pairing of a major. Not expecting a meltdown but wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't win either.

Hideki is not a great putter. Now, if he keeps hitting it to 5 feet, it won't matter but it's hard to do that for 2 days in a row. I'm expecting a fun Sunday.

Didn't know it already happened.

I merely said it could. I don't necessarily think it will. I hope not for sure. But he does have a chance to run away with it, but it's Sunday at the masters so it will be hard to

I don't know why, but I've never been a fan of his. I'm rooting for a meltdown

Happens, although more often on the 2nd shot. Never seen it with a wedge. I think JT (or someone) had to dodge someone's ball going into the water in November as he was walking to the 16 green

It happens just about every year. Not unusual at all.

It is definitely an intended risk by design. Can't play your distance too safe over the creek with your 2nd

Don't recall it. But since every shot is available online it's recorded somewhere.

I'm little surprised Matsuyama still needs a translator. Would have thought he'd know English by now.

Yeah but Americans are lazy. We really only know english. With his press commitments and traveling I'd have thought he know enough to get through an interview.

He probably speaks okay English but doesn't want to on live tv. Seems pretty common for Japanese athletes

His English isn't bad now. But speaking at the Masters is not a place to make a mistake. He can be articulate and accurate with a translator.

A lot of Japanese people won't learn English. They are really proud of their culture and dont see the need to branch out. Hell. Some know it but refuse to speak it. At least that's what I've gathered from my several trips there.


Interesting. I know you travel alot for work so would know this. I thought english might be taught in school for business.

My sister in law taught English there to business people after college. If they work with Americans they almost always learn English because we sure as hell aren't learning japanese.

So many variables to that I couldn't fairly give you a random figure. I've been twice so far and did it two different ways, so the cost varied between the trips.

Staying near Augusta or driving in the day of?

Golfing rounds included or not?

Going via ATL or SC?

EDIT: Also, it's old, but here is my 2017 trip outlining what we did and saw before we got rained out. It's a lot of info, but plenty of pics showing what it looked like:

Will Zalatoris reminds me of that guy at the golf club who dresses like a pro and thinks he's a lot better than he actually is. Except Will actually is that good.

Hideki was able to take advantage of the softer greens after the rain. He was able to change his mindset immediately and start firing at flags to take advantage. Seemed like the other guys took a few holes.

Pretty cool to watch. That was some world class ball striking.

Your best value if you secondary market is a Tuesday practice round. Pre-covid, you could do Tues for about $700. You can bring a camera, pretty much every player plays 18, and it's a fun relaxed environment
