  1. Merc just shed 15kg from their car.
  2. Right now is the easiest it's going to play. This morning wave has a huge advantage going off right after the thunderstorms passed. Tiger got the best possible draw. It looks like it's only going to get tougher from here to Sunday. It's going to get cold(er) and more windy. They'll be able to dial this course into the exact conditions they want by probably Friday - which is to say, hard as fuck.
  3. Radar looks real empty once this small cell passes. They might just get to play the par 3. Or at least part of it.
  4. They say hole #2 (the old #2, the par "5") was the inspiration for hole #2 at ANGC.
  5. Also said he wants 2nds of everything and they'd have to get a cart to get him home. Hideki really hit a home run. Though after the 2nd course, there was probably a long pause.
  6. I'm not going to claim to be good at this whole odds thing. Edit: though in my defense, I made 4 claims (0% chance he plays, he won't come back unless he feels he can win, no one can be ready to win with the Masters as their first tournament back, and he won't play in a ceremonial capacity). I got half of them right. That's gotta crush the Surly average.
  7. "As of right now, I feel like I'm going to play" - Tiger
  8. Also... Hideki's dinner looks fucking amazing:
  9. For those of you equally obsessed, they are streaming Tiger's PC on the Masters website. Hasn't started yet, I assume waiting on Tiger to get there: https://www.masters.com/en_US/live/index.html?videoChannel=simul&promo=hero_live_Tiger'sPressConference If it doesn't load, login first.
  10. Couple of hours from now. Tiger press conference is in 10 minutes. Hopefully gives his final go or no go.
  11. He's totally playing. Probably Tiger, JT, Rory grouping. Get maximum value for this appearance.
  12. Masters on the range is live on CBS Sports Network right now. I think it goes until 1pm. Finau on the range at the moment.
  13. Took a trip to Paris with the family over spring break and brought the Z6 along for the ride. I was a bit hamstrung in that during the best hours of the day to shoot, we used that time as "unwind and relax" for the kids (i.e. screen time in the apartment). Not complaining, they needed it as this was a go go go kind of trip. Still managed to get some decent shots on cloudy/overcast days that made for good B&W candidates (I think?). Either way, great photos or not, it was an amazing trip.
  14. Hossler has a very timing sensitive swing. When it's on, it's on. Round 2 and 3 are great examples. His career at UT is a long example. When it's off, it's a struggle and he looks like a head case. People admonish the chicken wing spieth has but that is a swing designed to hold the club face square as long as possible. It's what Hogan did so well though through a different mechanism. The most consistent swings and winners, regardless of era, are those that can hold the club square through the impact zone the longest - they have the best ability to manipulate the club face as needed.
  15. Carli Lloyd sounds over this shit.
  16. Group G looking real salty too.
  17. And there's your group of death. Fuck Mexico!
  18. Are they trying to fill up the entire 200+ days until this thing kicks off? Let's draw!
  19. Oh Danny Ric, never change.
  20. To me, a group of death comes down to Pot 3 and 4. As long as Senegal does not end up with Qatar, they will be a group of death. Same with Canada and Poland. Ultra group of death would be Senegal/Poland + Canada + not Qatar. Basically, a scenario in which you have 3 or 4 teams that are strong contenders to emerge from the group. Pot 2 is fairly inconsequential in my view as far as group of death goes - no matter what, you will have a pot 2 member that is a tough out. Pot 1 only matters because of Qatar.

    USMNT 2022

    This team is led by a group of players that everyone seems to look to and gravitate towards - Pulisic, Adams, McKennie, Gio, Weah. I think that's a way better scenario than just having one guy be THE guy. And if we had to pick just one, it's Tyler Adams as mentioned above. Compare this to the last WCQ cycle - Clint Dempsey was wearing the armband. I love me some Clint, but I would never pick him out as someone that the team gravitated towards. And beyond Clint, it was a wasteland. This team is totally different in that regard. Now if we could just get Tim Howard to unretire.

    By the time this WC finally kicks off, the memory of this game will be long gone. Mixed emotions today but come this fall, all that matter is we qualified. Get back to your club, kick ass, stay fit. See you in Qatar.
