    For real?

    He's on his own in second, one shot off the lead. One of only four players to be better than par.

    Second on -2. He had the best round of today.

    One behind Spieth who is on -3 and one ahead of Langer and some Japanese chap.

    Oh shit. Nice. I'll have to watch tomorrow then.

    £20 of he places in the top 5 from 50p. £120 if he wins.

    "Some Japanese chap". Also world #14, for what it's worth. And that's probably going to get better over the next few years, too.

    I am massively racist towards people of an Asian persuasion though.

    I'd quite like to see him win a major. Seems fun.

    Hideki is the best ever player from Asia in terms of ability. Doesn't always mean you win a major but he could well do.

    Smylie is a right bolter. Only got his tour card six months ago. Qualified for this by virtue of randomly winning in Las Vegas from about 1000 shots behind.

    Reckon he's better than Y. E. Yang and K. J. Choi? Choi certainly had a long career at the top level, although Yang was more of a bolter.

    I mean, I'm inclined to agree, but they had good careers on the whole.

    He'll be quite a lot better than both of them, although I'm a big KJ fan (he's having a good season this year in fact). YE Yang winning a major... well, there's hope for us all.

    Those in the know say that Hideki is perhaps the purest striker of an iron in the world at the moment.

    One thing I love about golf is that improbable major winners actually happen, and with a not terrible frequency.

    Shaun Micheel had one win in his entire career, but it was the US PGA. He still plays it every year, too. Good on him.

    Rich Beem seeing off Tiger Woods in the PGA that year was absolutely classic.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_PGA_Championship

    Some good nearly ones headed up by that as well. I mean, who the fuck is Bob May? And Tiger was probably playing the best golf that has ever been played.

    I bet Westwood missed those other two practice putts as well. Save it for the course Lee!

    Aye. Never change Lee, never change.

    I suppose being so comprehensively donned by Mike Ashley would be enough to drive lesser men out of the sport entirely.

    No one quite goes to bits like our Rory.

    Need someone to make a move or this is going to turn into a right shitmunching procession. Kaufman missing that putt at the first was criminal.

    Sat down to watch some of this and within five minutes Smylie was in among the trees so I've decided to just avoid it and hope for the best.

    Spieth is a putting machine so far. I was getting very nervous that McIlroy eagle might drop too.

    Smylie's not winning the Masters. Fair play to him for this showing on a debut though.

    Come on Willett. I used to like Spieth but he's a right knobhead these days.

    Speith is such a putting succubus. He seemingly leaches the ability to putt from everyone else on the course.

    If it ever deserts him he won't make the cut in a major again.

    I eagerly await the day he develops the yips.

    Westy's on the charge!

    Has a bit of a feel to that time Schwartzel went mental over the closing holes and won this. Someone needs to do something similar (not Speith).

    That one just then was the first good iron shot Spieth's hit all day. It's infuriating. I would love literally any of the challengers to beat him.

    The problem at Augusta (and most American courses) is that it is fairly hard for him to hit a bad shot.

    How did that tee shot on the par 3 just before end where it did? Must have been some sneaky patron cunt in the bushes to kick it back out.

    That shot of McIlroy looking all cocky and the change to disbelief as it went for a swim has made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

    It was a dreadful shot, taking on this pin at 11 has been a dreadful shot ever since they built the hole. He's been awful today.

    The difference between Spieth and his pursuers mentally is absolutely colossal. Only hope here is Willett making a charge round the back 9, but even then Spieth will just bore his way to a 68 and win easily.

    He's going to have to do a McIlroy on the back 9 to let others in.

    Sadly I don't see that happening.

    Even with this book in running:

    Toggle Spoiler


    I'm still willing on a Spieth collapse. It's the others' fault, none of the mongs past -2.
