Congratulations To Jon Rahm The 2023 Masters Champion

Congratulations to Jon Rahm on winning the 2023 Masters Championship. On the 40th anniversary of when Seve Ballesteros won his second green jacket, another Spaniard eclipsed the top of the leaderboard at Augusta National. After a wild weekend of weather, Rahm proved that he has the winning game for all conditions. After a strong final round, Rahm outdistanced Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson to win his first of possibly many green jackets. It was fun to watch!

Congratulations Jon Rahm!

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

A Soaked Third Round At The Masters

As expected the third round of the Masters was rain soaked. Except for an hour or so in the morning, the rain pelted all the players. Very few were able to handle the wet conditions because of the unknown factor of how the wetness would affect chipping and putting. For the most part, Augusta National held up very well until it was time to call for a rain delay. The leaders still have 12 holes to play on day 4 and as expected, they will be heading off early in order to finish this years Masters. The wet rainy weather is supposed to be gone by Sunday morning to be replaced with cool sunny skies. The change might help most of the players, but unless Brooks Koepka faulters, I do not see anyone catching my on Sunday afternoon.

Update From The 2023 Masters

Day two was rain delayed, trees were blown over, and Brooks Koepka kept rolling. To no surprise, the drama continue at The Masters with the weather rolling in causing all kinds of havoc. I realize this is a first world problem, yet I cannot wonder how the players with half of their second round still to play will enjoy the soggy conditions on day 3? It is not ideal, but something that all golfers face when at the mercy of Mother Nature. The change in weather will not affect everyone and I am interested to see who will beat back the conditions to shoot a great score. Are you?

Day One At The 2923 Masters

The first day at the Masters was exciting. With 44 players sitting at even or better (just over half), moving day is shaping up to be exciting. Three players shot minus 7 to lead the field as I expected. Hovland, Rahm and Koepka’s score is two lower than I thought, they did establish themselves as the players to beat. Now that Friday is here, Augusta National will start to rear its toughness expected by many during the first round. However, the playing conditions were perfect and 44 players refused to bow to the pressure. So what is instore for Moving Day at this year’s Masters? Can the players respond with the same scoring now that the weather is starting to roll in?

Opening Day At The 2023 Masters

The day is finally here! The 2023 Masters starts very soon and all the hype will be replaced with great play. All the players will have to make a quick start for the opening day because the weather is going to degrade as the next four days unfold. That means that getting out a a quick start of 3 or 4 under would set anyone in the field up for a fantastic Masters. After a very fun and family par 3 contest yesterday, the players will now focus on hitting fairways and greens. But is that all they need to do shoot well?
