It’s supposed to rain for like 24 hours straight until 6 or 7 in the morning Thursday. Not much they can do about that

Greens have a vacuum system. They can suck it out before people tee off thursday

I don't care what systems they have. The course isn't going to go from soaked to bone dry in a matter of an hour

Someone needs to do a better job tying Zach Johnson’s tie.

The greens can be pretty dry in minutes

The rest of the course drains great as well though, particularly with an army of groundskeepers with squeegees

Should I lay money on Scottie or DJ?

8 years since Rory's last major? I don't see him winning this week.

btw I just noticed a pretty good promo on BetRivers app for the masters. place a $25+ wager on any golfer to win & get a free bet at the end of the tournament. Amount of free bet determined with +$1 for each birdie made by golfer & +$2 for each eagle.

I have him missing the cut

If "firm and fast" were part of your Masters drinking game over most of the first three days of the event, well, you probably didn't make it through all of Saturday's coverage. But after the rain came, we saw a kinder, gentler Augusta National that finally yielded bursts of red on the leader board that fans come to expect from the year's first major. Before the rain delay, scores on Saturday were 28-over-par—but with softer greens after the delay, scores were collectively double-digits under par.

"The tricky part was probably hitting your putts hard enough," said Schauffele, who will play with Matsuyama again in Sunday's final group. "I think Hideki kind of was an example of that on 13. Hit a great iron shot in there. Normally you'd kind of just touch your putt, it gets feeding down that hill and it's an easy two-putt. Now you're sort of looking down at the creek there and you have to hit your putt hard coming down the hill. It was a challenge in a different way."

There was more to it than that, but I had a lot of putts that I missed that were short just because of how much slower the greens were, but everybody had to adjust to it, and I just didn't do it as well as everybody else."

But y'all are right, Augusta greens are impervious to rain

I think some of you argue just to argue. A comment is made about softer conditions being more ideal for scoring Thursday morning, and someone just has to argue, "but acthualllyyy, the masters has a sub-air system."
