The hole is at a low point in the course and tucked away in the trees so the wind swirls around and it's hard to feel exactly what it's doing and how it will affect the ball. Add to that that going a half a club short is in the water and half a club long is over the green and leaving a tough chip or bunker shot back towards the water on the fastest green in the universe.

It's not so much that it's a hard shot, but it's hard to be comfortable with the club selection, and that makes for shots that are hit without conviction, which often leads to bad strikes.

sandy lyle hitting his second shot from the 12th tee

He said "I thought I was gonna put on a show today but..."

LOLLLLLLLLLLLL this ****ing guy man. You thought you were gonna put on a ****ing SHOW? This guy is the Spider-from-Goodfellas of the golf world and is about to get metaphorically shot up by Angel Cabrera.

It's funny you mention him and Spieth. When Spieth came out and was constantly being sucked off all the way back to when he was in college I wanted to hate him from the get-go. University of Texas entitlement? Check. Wears burnt orange on the golf course? Check. Get the media love-fest before winning on Tour? Check. Compared to Rory and Tiger? Check. Douchey first name of Jordan for a white dude? Check. Looks like a smug douche? Check.

Then he starts winning and every interview I've seen with him he appears humble and likeable at least. Nothing douchey about him that I can see. Well, the burnt orange shirts still need to stop.

And Reed I used to love. He was from Houston. His wife carried his bag which I thought was cool. He kept Monday-qualifying for tournaments. I remember when him and Spieth were in that playoff I was pulling for Reed so hard and he hit that ridiculous shot out from under the tree then sunk the putt that Spieth missed for his first win.

How times have changed. Reed's got this giant cross around his neck and yet is the most unjustly-bragadocious ass out there. **** off, bro. And lose some weight. Just another fake religious guy like Bubba, who is really just an arrogant *******.

I wish to see Spieth stomp a mudhole in Reed's head from here on out.

Green well below tee box. Swirling winds. Relatively short hole so you're going to hit the ball high into the air. If you knock it down too much you may end up in the bunker behind the green, hitting back toward the water. Aiming center of green is correct strategy, per Jack, but it's very narrow. The key thing that has been pointed out to me this week is that it's a hard hole for righties because a pull tends to go further than a push or fade. And the green runs short-left to long-right. So a pull for a righty ends up in the pine straw or worse behind the green, while a fade or push probably ends up in Rae's creek. A lefty's push might land on the left side of the green while their pull might end up on the right side of the green.

It's not a tough hole to birdie though if you land it on the green anywhere near the hole as the green does not appear that tough to putt.

I'm sick of fans playing a role in tournaments:

Luke Donald penalty called by patron at Masters

http://www.cbssports.com/golf/eye-on...ron-at-masters

I am too but this one definitely has merit and Donald should have known immediately and called it on himself. I didnt watch this live but it is very easy to know when you have grounded your club.

@ARC, definitely agree with you on Patrick Reed lol. Hate that guy and he is a giant douche. I still lmao every time I think about him saying he is a top 5 player in the world ROFL

All this.

I'm worried about his possible negative effects on his Ryder Cup teammates.

Luke Donald touching the sand after leaving a shot in the bunker is unbelievably dumb. I know that rule and I'm a 26. What an idiot.

When you hit your driver 235 you can't afford to make mistakes like these. You're supposed to use your brain to beat the guys who hit it 320.

That's hilarious. Whoever was on 11 wanted a flat area to pitch onto 11.

Featured group #1 is now airing.

edit: Featured group #2 is now airing.

Branden Grace with the old 84 - 69.

OUCH Oosthuizen. Unforced error there. Was about to potentially take the outright lead too. Damn.

edit: FMP

only 3 eagles all of yesterday.

already 7 today. course definitely gettable today

Oosthuizen looking like a rank amateur here on #15. Just left his bogey putt like 12 feet short.

Getting breezy here in Augusta going to be tough scoring conditions this afternoon I suspect.

Hell yes.

No streaming working for me on TSN.ca.

No streaming working for me on Masters TSN app.

Love this day. Loving the action. LOOK AT ALL THESE AMAZING GOLF SHOTS!

Is this where I LOL CANADA?

Seriously though, why do people these days not have a VPN? I pay $35 a year and am able to get live British, American, etc. coverage all day long.

edit: Splended shot by Bubba on Golden Bell to 5 1/2 feet.

edit edit: Bubba with a redic drive on #13.

Next step is for Augusta to pull a Jai Alai and ban left-handed players.

Bjørn with a nice round today. 68 featuring 8 birdies.

Brandel Chamblee really needs to die.

Bubba taking no prisoners. Sick birdie putt on #14 for his third straight birdie.

Bubba gets it to 6 with 15 left to play. Gotta think he should be able to get in at 5 or 6 which will move the cut line up significantly. Putting guys like Phil on the cusp

Picked him on my fantasy team.

Having seen the replica green at Berkman's Place at the course I can safely say that nothing with ever do justice to the undulations of that green. Multiple small mountains involved...

Bubba could finish birdie, birdie, par, par and be at -8. Pretty sick.

Birdieing 12 and 14 is pretty damn impressive. Especially when you've made 1 bogey in 32 holes. JFC.

Bubba is an awful putter but somehow at Augusta he becomes good at it.

Oh Jesus the flag on 15 is on the right side of the green. Eagle very possible.

Leishman with an implosion today, was -5 after 3, now +3 after 12 and put one in the drink on 13
