Well done to Bubba. Brilliant final day.

Geez Scotty, bogeys everywhere. Even Rory and Langher came back hard.

It was one of the flattest Masters back 9's I can remember, Watson had it won on 12. No one made a run, not surprising given none of the immediate chasers had a major in their resume. Speith is a real talent, you'd think he'd learn a lot from that.

Yeah a lot of hype on the kid. You can't beat the delusion of those Yanks. ;D

Not for leysy Hugo ;D

Booooommm, go Big Bubba. His extra distance off the tee was the difference.

Laid off a little this morning when he got into $1.40.

Great result.

Yeh, his distance is a big advantage, all the Par 5's are really 4.5's for him, the course is almost a Par 70 for him. And having no big guns in the chasing pack definitely made for a little less pressure.
 
With the massive workability Bubba plays with I reckon it's a great way too take out indecision an just helps commit to hitting a big cut or roping hook......He an Daly would have to be in a league of there own when it comes to roar power combined with great touch.....

Good point. Controlling the amount of that bend is a skill. I love how he hits a knock down cut with the driver 330 plus yards like his drive up 8 over the bunkers.

He's a likeable guy Bubba and always fun to watch him play. Like the 2nd shot on 15 when he should have laid up given the situation (esp after Speith missed the green right and was no certainty to make birdie) but he hits a low cut under/through? the trees and over the water.

It's interesting re Daly, he has never been the same player since he gave up his wild ways (drinking/eating/smoking/girls) and you could argue the same for Tiger (just the girls).

British open this week, Aussies should go ok

It's a bit boring with Wozza-dropper Rory way ahead. Whaddayou think CC? Scotty's had a bad start to his 2nd day.

I've only seen updates on the scoring tonight TF, looks like Rory is havin his traditional bad one, however if he stays around par on his bad day his going to be hard to beat....bloody tipped Ricky Fowler to mates an didn't put a $ on him myself....looks like been a great last day , hopefully it blows hard an keeps it interesting .... T Woo could be very interesting in the PGA

Rory had it won from Day 1. What happened to Ogilvy? Haven't seen or heard of him for some time now.

We'll see those two paired together a lot over the next decade. Both beautiful players. Garcia was great too, he was the only one who looked like threatening on the last day. I really hope he wins a major one day. The Open is probably his best shot.

Scott must be thinking 'what if'. Reverse his and McIlroy's start times on the first two days and things might well have been different. Rory got kissed on the *smile* and Scott got donkey-rooted.
 
Jason Day is in a three way tie for the lead on the back nine, 3rd day in the USA PGA Championship. He is playing with Rory McIlroy, its great viewing.
