A Tradition Unlike Any Other: Masters Thread

[captain]

and yes, fuck yes phil

[delgriffith]

That was my feel good moment of the tournament so far.

[doc shivers]

ok, the way that Nantz is pronouncing the z on Jiminez is driving me fucking nuts.

[Automatic]

Seriously, nothing makes me aspire to become a Southern Gentleman™ more than the little vignettes they show of the Augusta National grounds.

Now drinking: Elijah Craig 18 y.o.

[Automatic]

Louis Oosthuizen really has a nice, balanced swing, huh?

[doc shivers]

Tiger has played like a man who hasn't had sex in 3 years.

[delgriffith]

Sergio and Rory hugging

[Automatic]

Seriously, as long as anyone but Peter Hanson wins.

[doc shivers]

Seriously, as long as anyone but Peter Hanson wins.

he won't, I could see a Jean Van De Velde type choke coming from him.

[delgriffith]

Phil is just so fucking right now.

[delgriffith]

What a round by Hanson.

Don't want him to win but hats off. That shot up onto the 18th green just now was sublime. 193 yards uphill to within 1ft.

[doc shivers]

Hanson is having the round of his life, I expect him to cool off significantly tomorrow.

[delgriffith]

Wow, Phil.

Wow.

[jbiz]

wow what a shot by phil

[delgriffith]

Now nail the putt, please.

[murray st.]

this is what i get for intently watching the first two meh days and then letting my brother play super mario 64 on the TV all day for this one

[mr. wizard]

met phil at an airport a year ago. one of the nicest dudes, just sat and chatted with my wife and i for an hour waiting for our flight. she had no idea who he was until i told her later.

go phil!

[delgriffith]

Just fist pumped like crazy.

Love you Phil.

[mr. wizard]

Just fist pumped like crazy.

Love you Phil.

i did a hard hand clap

by myself

[doc shivers]

Hanson is going to shit his pants being paired with Phil tomorrow. No way he can withstand the pressure.

[carlperkins]

just have to drop in to say fuck yeah phil

[doc shivers]

[carlperkins]

need some sergio and rory pictures for the friendship thread

[Asian Santa Baby]

Is liking Mickelson a thing now?

[Asian Santa Baby]

Aw I just sawr the hug. ^_^

[Thalidomide]

For whatever reason, I've never felt like it was OK to like both Tiger and Phil. Plus my grandfather, who hates Tiger because he's black, loves Phil Mickelson.

Anyway, I'm rooting for Bubba tomorrow.

[Durham]

I used to like Mickelson when he was a perennial loser but I don't want him to have 4 jackets
Don't know who Bubba is, but go Bubba

Yeah, I pretty much rooted against Phil for a lot of years because of this. I've come around on Phil some in the last few years.

But, growing up in Alabama, most of the rabid Phil fans weren't cheering for him on Sunday because they loved his short game.

Bubba is a good ole boy who is always top two in driving distance and uses a pink driver. I too will be rooting for Bubba.

[doc shivers]

The thing I like about Phil is that he seems like a genuinely nice dude who would be down to have a few beers with an average Joe, whereas Tiger seems a petulant only child who perpetually has a stick shoved up his ass. He's like the kid in elementary school who would bring cool toys to school, but never let anyone else play with them.
