Saw a tweet last week that Sandy Lyle was playing in his 37th consecutive Masters, only 2 players have longer streaks.

Turns out his appearance this week is also his 100th in a major, the first Scot to reach that landmark.

From what I’ve seen through the Masters app, he seems to be putting the ball in to good positions off the tee, but unable to convert that in to giving himself good looks at birdie. Obviously that comes with the caveat that it’s Augusta, and it’s extremely difficult to do that consistently, but it seems he compounds a poor approach shot with a poor recovery shot and is ultimately always battling for pars. 
 

Was listening to one of the pundits talking about Tigers round yesterday, explaining how he was able to shoot 1 under par while only hitting 9 greens in regulation. He was saying that Tiger knows the bumps and hollows of these green so well, that when he misses it’s always a ‘good miss’ i.e. not through the back or chipping on to greens sloping away from him. McIntyre seems to go well round Augusta, so I hope as he gains more experience and knowledge of the course he can play in a similar way, missing in places that punish him the least.

Iv given you 1 job this week Cameron Smith…..and it’s to win the Masters! 
-6 yesterday seems like a very long time ago now.

Charl Schwartzel obviously has a good record round here, but after missing his last 6 cuts this has come from nowhere.

Lowry making a good run at it today. 

Scheffler has a chance to put 2 or 3 shots between himself and the field here though. 

He’s playing immaculately here, this could be a very good lead coming up here, especially if conditions improve over the weekend.
