Heading out west next weekend: enniscrone, Strandhill and Rosses Point, with the Masters on each night to show me what I'm doing wrong.

Yes I'd be jealous too!

Fair, by his lofty standards he hasn't seemed to be firing on all cylinders pre-Augusta. Maybe that's the best way for him to come into it. I continue to think if he wins the Masters soon - he can beat Tiger's Major records.
Jack is the man to beat not Tiger.

Tiger is very much the man to beat. Can't beat Jack without it

Well if that's the case then there are plenty of golfers ahead of him to beat before he needs to worry about Tiger.

I'll be playin golf in shorts this week! In tenerife until next Friday. Watch the news because a couple of course records are about to go!

Probably the highest score ever recorded but it will be a record none the less.

Dustin Johnson is my main bet this week, Bubba will be there or there abouts too once again.

Woods has absolutely no chance if his short game hasn't improved greatly.

Tiger is playing in the Masters.

Tiger playing is a huge bonus for Rory, it'll take a good portion of the massive media circus off his shoulders..

What's shorter for tiger, a MC Or a WD?

Spieth looks like he could do damage this evening,if he managed to win tomorrow evening could he end up joining Rory as favourite?

Doubt he will come in that much, McIlroy is 11/2 & Spieth 10/1 with PP at the minute.

Didn't realise there was that big of a difference,had something in my head they only had 2 or 3 points between them, he'll not be going off joint favourite then so

Just had a look at SkyBet there and Spieth is 15/2, they are doing a price boost on McIlroy at 13/2 from 11/2.

Mother of God I've never watched anything more cringe than that.
Load of shite.

Gabriel_Hurl · April 07, 2015, 12:36:09 AM

Maybe Rory could do an ad for this?

After seeing this quote, I was expecting a lot worse. To be fair, there is nothing more cringeworthy springs immediately to mind, but am sure there are more than a few!
