Viktor Hovland made 8 birdies to close with a 5 under par 67 at the Masters. After the round, he went deep on the ball flight laws and the importance of matching up the club face to the swing path: “It's a good question. It's just tough to answer. First of all, that's why I like TrackMan and understanding the ball flight laws are very good to have because you can start a ball left, more left than you would like, but if it's curving back, who cares. That just means you're -- granted, if you're hitting it in the center your club path is just maybe creeping a bit more left, but if your face is in the right spot you're just hitting a bigger curve and then you can adjust that accordingly. “If you're starting the ball left and it's going left, is it a face issue, are you striking it off the heel and they're not coming back? There's a lot of minutiae involved with that. “If it's just a face-to-path issue or a club path direction, you can solve that pretty easily by playing a bigger cut or playing a bigger draw or moving it a bit more forward or back in the stance, simple stuff like that.” This is a great explanation that a lot of amateurs can learn from. @TheMasters

INSANE start to Blaydes/Hokit my god. Needed this after Reyes/Walker. #UFC327

Augusta National is under no obligation to make this tournament US Open-hard, but this year’s once-in-a-decade+ conditions were an opportunity for something special and they opted to take the teeth out of the course. Feels like a rare miss by the green jackets.

😳🫨⛳️ #NOT READY — Brandel Chamblee SLAMS LIV golfers after Round 1 at The Masters "What Bryson did with his iron play is what Bryson has been doing with his iron play since the first year that he played here... I've really not seen any change in it. It's like (Jon Rahm) forgot how to play the game...it's amazing to me. On every tee, he's swinging as hard as he can, it's like he's in a long drive contest. I've never seen anybody swing it as hard as he's swinging it on every tee shot. It's like there's no nuance or no niche to his golf swing. They're not being challenged, they're not being tested, and so they're not ready... If every single week you go out and you're not challenged - when | look at the statistics, it'd be like if Steph Curry was shooting free-throws with a hula-hoop-sized rim and thinking he's 100%. That's the false arrogance they would have coming in here." Remember early on they had some nice finishes, Brooks won a major, Phil won a major and Bryson won a major…. But as time has gone on with LIV, they’ve gotten worse and worse and worse.” (Via: @SkySports)

@Top100Rick Turned it off to watch baseball. Brutal

Has the Masters Par 3 has become too silly? Catering to the Idiocracy? Chairman Fred Ridley has already said he regrets letting Dude Perfect film a video there a couple years ago. Now today has become a lowest common denominator geared event.

Only April and I already hate the Phillies

@JonMarksMedia @sethjoyner @Tim_McManus Yes

So @sethjoyner, what exactly are you saying? I’ve known @Tim_McManus for 20 years. He doesn’t make stuff. Are you calling him a liar?

@TronCarterNLU Oh my gosh

1) The leaderboard for ANWA is really good today. 2) This should be an automatic DQ. No place for this in the game. Horrifying behavior that The Ridler needs to deal with swiftly and forcefully!

It’s not coincidence that Woodland win comes right after talking about his mental health struggles, I’d argue it’s actually a huge reason for it in fact. It’s so hard to walk around acting as if you’re ok when you’re not. Lying to everyone that you are ok, when you’re dying inside. I can’t imagine that feeling as a public figure like Gary. I hope this result for Gary helps other athletes and people to talk about their mental health struggles. Tell anyone. What a win.

So happy for Gary Woodland

@RiggsBarstool Embarrassing.

Iowa!

@stoolpresidente They’ve had two extremely long reviews that slowed the first game down

3 minutes of game clock is not nearly enough separation between these 2 games. The NCAA must have the biggest nitwits working for them. Start the 1st game either 15 minutes earlier or the 2nd game 15 minutes later.
