The Masters 2013

[PaulWinch again]

My two bets faltered badly on second round, they need a big come back in the third.

Well surprise surprise the committee fail to disqualify Woods for cheating.

He knew damn well what he was doing & should have taken himself out of the competition, I do hope he blows up today.

[Rotterdam]

I've a couple of mates who work in sports PR, they would have advised him to have left 'under his own steam' - as a PR exercise it would of been worth much more.

As a golfer myself - he should have been DQ'ed. He broke the rules. End of.
Conspiracy? - I think Nike, The Masters and CBS may have had an input along with the Masters committee bottling it.

Mcilroy is pissing me off. He misses a putt and stares at his caddie as if it is his fault.

To me he has done similar to Scott Sinclair or Jack Rodwell. Young and upcoming but decided to take the cash to the detriment of his career.

Nah, he'll be back, too much talent there for him not to win another few majors,

I don't really understand the Woods controversy can someone explain it for me please?

He dropped the ball in the wrong place, it was further away rrom the hole than it should have been but this could have been an advantage to him. In years gone by he would have been automatically disqualified but a new by law came in in the last couple of years giving the officials discretion in this sort of incident.

In my personal opinion, if it would have been anyone else, including a 14 year old lad, he would have been disqualified.

I've had e/w on Moore, Choi, Cabrera, Kaymer and Laird.

Donald to win it.

I got Cabrera at 125/1. Squeaky bum time.

Hmm not quite, he should have been disqualified for signing the card with an incorrect score actually, the fact he took the advantage should have been penalised with a self imposed 2 shot penalty, the fact he didn't record that on his scorecard and signed for a lesser score is the reason to disqualify.  A professional golfer & his caddy not being familiar with one of the simpler rules of golf is incredible naive or incredibly stupid.

[Rotterdam]

The rule came in recently on the back of an incident with Paddy Harrington in Dubai. The discretion came in due to the players and in this situation TW's lack of knowledge with the rules. Theoretically, he signed for the wrong score, but he was unaware of the rule so it was changed from a potential DQ to a two shot penalty.


I need Kuchar/Furyk to shoot a 65.

[taylorsworkrate]

Woods should definitely have been DQ'd. He knows it and the masters committee know it. They stretched the interpretation of the law ridiculously far in order to save Woods.

He deliberately gained an advantage by dropping his ball two yards further back, (something he freely admitted to) and then signed for the wrong score. It doesn't compare with the Harrington one as Padraig genuinely didn't know his ball had moved and had gained no advantage whatsoever.

At best he didn't know the rule, which is absolutely no reason to allow a reprieve in this case. If Woods doesn't realise that purposely giving yourself an easier shot is against the rules he is a fucking idiot.

I'm not saying there isn't, but in his formative years and really at the start of a 30-40year career, he decided to take the fast buck early which means he is now playing with equipment that might not suit him.

Yes, poor decision, but not one that will set him back more than a year or so.

I'd like Tiger Woods a lot more if he'd play the odd tournament wearing tiger face-paint.
