Sam makes a few more of these putts inside 10 feet and he's in the top 12 (2024 Masters exemption) for sure.
Just one putt needed. 11,15,16 just on the back nine were huge missed opportunities.

In the pines on the drive on 17...

No need to get dumb here. Lay up

I think Nantz and Dottie are playing this up to keep audience engaged.

There was NO way that Rahm was going for this green in two.

So many opportunities this round
23. 30 holes at Augusta with the course changing conditions from this morning to afternoon, the mental game just isn't quite there yet. Take the weather issues out, the triple pairings, weird start and stops, maintaining focus is an awful lot to handle.

He didn't implode but couldn't take advantage of those opportunities. He'll get there and very soon. Still a hell of a tournament for an amateur.

Well done and Gig 'Em, Sam!

If he made the putts today he was making the first two days he might be sitting in second all alone.
Yep. So many chances. Now he has no birdie holes remaining and is going to pull off a crazy shot to get invited back next year.

He was draining them the first two days and has had more chances today than either of those days.


He'll have plenty of chances to get back next year. It's not just limited to top 12 today.
Yes, I know that. But this is the guarantee.

And how likely is a top 4 finish at the other majors, a tour win, or a top 50 OWGR? Without a tour card.

A birdie on one of his next two holes could get him in, assuming everyone else between him and Rahm pars in.
Username checks out.

Birdie at 17 is highly unlikely after that drive.

Going to have to be 18.

Such an amazing tournament but 3 putt at 15 and 2 putt at 16 costing him top 12 auto invite are gonna haunt him.

Rahm is dialed in.

Not really any shots left out there that could sink him. Would take something pretty miraculous from Koepka.

Great second shot on 17. Just short and right of green.

13 yards for the birdie

Should tap in for par. He'll need to birdie 18.

His pitching has been on. Just fantastic all week. It's been the chipping (and now putting today) that has sunk him. He's hit enough drives and approaches to be contending, even with his distance limitations vs. the big guys.

Would love to see him add some more distance. With his scrambling and mental game that'd make him pretty formidable.

Could some of Sam's putting woes be part of not having a caddie who has been on these greens a lot more than his coach? No basis in that just a question

Did I hear that correctly? Sam is playing 36 holes tomorrow in the Aggie Invitational?

Yes, it could be, but some of it
Has been truly just mis-hits and pulling off the ball.

And I'd say Kortan's calming influence added more strokes elsewhere than the greens could have possibly taken away.

Possibly. People always talk about how valuable local knowledge is at Augusta. I'm sure it'd help to get some of that from your caddie.

Yeah, i think having a comfort zone guy on the bag is worth more than anything

Rahm ain't gonna bogey that.
DannyDuberstein

Rahm has been so in control of his game. So steady
Pahdz
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Totally agree with the comfort comments
Buck Compton

Well that's that. He blocked that drive off right and had to punch out.

Missed putts and opportunities look to have impacted the last two drives. Clearly rattled.

He'll learn. Bummed he couldn't get to 12th, though.

Standing O for Sam on 18.

If he makes this and a couple people totally crap the bed coming home he could sneak in.

Kinda like Tiger making the cut.

Theres not enough golfers out there to get him back to 12.

Awesome scene coming up to 18 for Sam. What a wonderful, ovation and experience.

Koepka trying to put a little pressure on him. I think it's too little too late though.

Yeah there are. He's currently T14. It'd take a pretty spectacular meltdown from a couple people but it's possible.
