2020 Masters - Dustin Johnson

[crazed 9.6]

The Masters is live this weekend.

Can the 2019 Master's Champ get 2 in a row (and 5 Green Jackets) ?

BTW, Tiger Woods is our defending Champ

That one was for you Gabacho


Four players are tied @ -9
-Abraham Ancer
-Cameron Smith
-Justin Thomas
-Dustin Johnson -after 36 holes, Johnson hit every green in regulation

Tiger is currently at -5 and is still out on the course.

Thanks ever so much you crazy devil!!!

Seems I embellished on Tiger's score-card a bit there.
He is @ -4


On Tuesday during practice, Jon Rahm on his Birthday, did a skip shot off the water and onto the green and drained it into the cup for a Hole-in-One and got him 'The Freak-Shot of the Day' Trophy !

Just like that guy from 'Tin Cup'


Projected cut for the weekend looks like it will be an Even Par (0)



Watch the Jon Rahm Skip Shot

There are no fans on the course, due to covid

Bryson just hit a ball and only missed the fairway by a few yards and landed in the deep grass. But with no fans to point out exactly where the ball lies, Bryson can not find it.
The camera followed the shot
He is right on top of it but still can not find it
He may have to count a lost ball, due to covid

Tiger counts a Birdie at the 12th to go to -5 ... but then a Bogie on the 13th to go back to -4 (first Bogie of the tournament for Tiger).

Fred Couples is finished and in the Clubhouse with a +6 and missed cut.

Yesterday's round had to be called due to darkness, so a few players had to finish yesterday's round early this morning.

The final pairings are out with Dustin Johnson out front with a 2 or 3 stroke lead thru 5 holes and @ -13
DJ is currently ranked as Number One Player on the Tour.

And not to forget about Rory !!!

Rory McIlroy is looking at his chance for his Career Grand Slam this weekend.
If he pulls it off, he would be in good company with an elite group of 5 others before him.

Jack Nicklaus
Tiger Woods
Ben Hogan
Gary Player
Gene Sarazen

The Grand Slam in professional golf is winning all of golf's major championships in the same calendar year.
Other variations include the Career Grand Slam, winning all of the major tournaments within a player's career, or the non-calendar year Grand Slam, also known as the Tiger Slam, holding all major titles at the same time although not in the same year.

Gotta love that 'Tiger Slam'


Dustin Johnson is finished and In the clubhouse with a commanding lead @ -16
Only one other Player has ever finished 3 rounds at -16 at the Masters
That was...yes ..... it was Tiger Woods

Rory is In @ -8
And 3 or 4 others are tied for second @ -12 .... behind DJ by 4 strokes

Tiger is In @ -5
Tiger is one of those that had to finish up his Friday's round early this morning. It was a long day and lots of holes played for Tiger today.. and he was showing some stiffness in the way he was moving out there today, especially during the last few holes for him


Tomorrow's final round is gonna be a round to remember, for DJ especially

So today's Final Round saw Tiger tank on an 12th hole ..... I think he ended with a 10 on that hole which took him to a +4 BUT he finished the round with 5 Birdies and ended the Tournament @ -1
Tiger's weekend was pretty good till that 12th hole today

Dustin Johnson is still our Leader thru 15 holes today, with a 5 or 6 stroke lead.
The guys were catching him on the front nine, but DJ put together some impressive shots (again) and took 4 Birdies in 5 holes, to get him out front by 6 strokes again @ -20

Rory is playing real good again today and is currently @ -10 ... but there is just too much ground to cover to catch DJ at this point.

Dustin Johnson married Wayne Gretzky's daughter some years ago.
Could you imagine being the son of DJ and the young Gretzky lady... ??
Grand-Dad was and still is the the greatest Hockey Player to ever strap on a set of Ice Skates AND his Dad (Dustin), a World Ranked Number one golfer !!

Wow , I do not know if I would wanna be in that kid's shoes

Jack holds record with the least amount of Bogies for a Champion in a Masters Tourny, with 5 Bogies
DJ is teeing up on the 18th right now with only 4 Bogies for the weekend

Dustin holes out on the 18th with a Par and @ -20 for the Masters Tournament.
DJ is our 2020 Masters Champion !!

Paulina Gretzky (DJ's wive) ran out onto the 18th green and took ahold of the flag stick. Seems she is taking that home
