OT: 2025 Annual Masters Golf Contest: 10 – 13 April

[maoling]

Argh, looks like Freddie and Langer will miss the cut by one stroke. I was really hoping to see them this weekend.

[Juliooooo]

We get to try to find replacements that don't cost anything...

Oh duh thanks

And right now, on the cusp of making it through - and FREE are.....
Bubba Watson
Charl Schwartzel
Danny Willett
Davis Riley
J.T. Poston
Matt McCarty
Stephan Jaeger
Tom Hoge

I will try to post the available list at the end of play

Thank you

It's top 50 plus ties I think so its flittering between -1 and -2. I have added it to the scoreboard and it should be accurate enough.

Yikes then I am screwed. What happens to me. I threw caution to the wind and blew my entire $100

My amateur, Noah Kent, is sure to be cut, unless he Aces or Eagles his final 4 holes. Not happening.
Julio, right now, you are in the driver's seat. You better look under your golf cart before getting in it in case Mike, WWD40 or Shorty have placed any explosive devices.
Of course, none of us know what the board leaders will do the final two days or if someone a few strokes off the pace will catch fire and shoot a couple of 65's on Sat. and Sun. to take over contention.
I must spend my $55 wisely if I hope to move up from 7th. Yesterday, moston and I were fighting all day for 10th and last place. However, it appears moston has grabbed last by the balls and isn't letting go .
If I pick a rose, that's a thorny predicament because I'll just be stagnant with whatever you do, Juliooooo.
We can't change the Swede......I wanted him all to myself but you had to pick him, too (perhaps I'm to be added to your suspect list from above )
WOW, as I type. maoling has vaulted to 1st, you've dropped to 3rd, moston has risen to 8th. desbcoach has plummetted to last and I've dropped to 9th.
The Masters is a cruel BITCH.
So, what do I do with my $55? Right now it might be Sungjae, Rasmus or perhaps freebie Matt McCarty (can I spend the $55 at the pub?).

You have to pick someone that hasn’t done great that you expect to move. I like Aberg to finish well. I think rose will play steady, but maybe drop a few strokes. I wish a had a bigger lead, trying to guess which lower ranked player can hold it together another 2 days… not feeling great about that

Unbelievable stuff. I am checking and double checking all the formulas to make sure I haven't made a mess of this (all looks good btw). The tension is palpable - and I'm not even in contention.

Mickelson double bogey 7 at the 15th and might miss the cut DT

[TLO Idaho]

I'm going to replace Cameron Young with Brian Harman with my remaining $10.

[mostonmike]

So looking at where we are for replacements;

Number of players needed in red
0 Bil522; all three players qualify
1 maoling; likely to lose Couples - has 30DP to spend
1 Juliooooo; loses Glover - nothing to spend
0 Walla Walla Dawg II; all three players likely to qualify (Thomas E thru 14)
1 D-train; loses Mickelson - nothing to spend
2 baller; loses Langer and Couples - has 45DP to spend
1 TLO; loses Cam Young - has 10DP to spend, chooses Brian Harman
1 mostonmike; lost Thriston Lawrence pretty much on the first tee - has Sweet FA to spend chooses Davis Riley
1 rockycola; loses Noah Kent (a) - has 55DP to spend
3 desbcoach; needs 3 new players with 5DP to spend

You are doing an absolutely amazing job with this. Thank you for all of your brilliance and hard work.

If I pick a freebie and slip you my $55DP, can you just put me in first and declare me the victor? Nobody will notice

Welp so much for Mickelson...sigh
