The first major of the year started yesterday (US Masters at Augusta) with a strong start by the British contingent.

Justin Rose tied for the lead on -4, Lee Westwood tied 3rd on -3, Ian Poulter got an ace (hole in one) and finished on -2, Paul Casey finished -1 and Sandy Lyle rolled back the years by finishing even par and level with Tiger Woods after the 1st day.

I'm not very good at golf but enjoy playing it and will be dusting off the clubs again this summer.

Anyone else watching the Masters?

Yeah I'm watching it.

Woods is coming back now but his driving is just too wayward for Agusta unfortunately. I think it needs to be better sadly for him to win it.

I asked solks to put up betting for last two rounds lads. I couldn't log in yesterday so last 2 rounds will have to do.

washout of the highest order.

Just wait until I start my American Football thread when the season starts in September

I watched just about all the TV coverage of the Masters (I always watch the majors and have been to the Open 3 times and will be going again this year with it being at Royal Birkdale).

I can't believe Tiger Woods played so poorly and still finished 2nd! Same with Phil Mickelson finishing =5th.

A total disaster for the British contingent over the weekend but at least Lee Westwood finished in the top 16 so will be invited back next year.

Never would have backed Immelmann to win it...even after he lead on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day! It wasn't until everyone started dropping shots before he had even teed off on the final 18 that I thought he'd win.

He was tied for the lead after the first day with Immelmann...Immelmann went on to win and Rose finished =36th!!!

He did the same last year at the Masters.

Jazz, you're right. Harrington tied for 5th with Mickelson and Steve Flesch. He was the highest ranked European.

Tiger through it away

Congrats to Immelmann though
