Apparently Dustin Johnson has pulled out of the Master’s

A bigger question: has Johnson Wagner shaved off his porn ‘stache? His pic on the Masters website has him clean-shaven.

Oh I dont disagree with you at all Spencer. Im just saying there’s a lot of lazy analysis of Furyk’s game.

Anything either of these guys says should be taken with a grain of salt. Gray is one of those guys that obviously has compromising pictures of top executives tucked away in his sock drawer, while Walton is just a harmless clown. I feel bad for him that he could never stay healthy in the NBA, but as an analyst he’s just looking to rile people up whenever possible.

And UCLA is not an elite program. It dominated one period of time- Lew Alcindor attended on a music scholarship, go figure- but hasn’t been a consistent power like UNC or Kentucky. Great, so they have 11 titles, 10 of which were won when they got every top player. I wonder if Walton still thinks UCLA has been to 18 Final Fours, since they also had to vacate one.

Ugh. Every time he contends, announcers put his swing in slo-mo and do the whole “not bad for a guy with a goofy swing” schtick. So tired.

seriously…moe norman, trevino, nicklaus all had weird swings and were some of the best ballstrikers ever (not to mention arnie and gary player)…doesn’t mean shit what the swing looks like, only at impact. dont all gotta look like hogan or snead.

the bombers were already favored, but even moreso now. the guys a wet augusta really hurts are the “shorter” players…luke donald, hunter mahan, stricker, snedeker, etc.

adjust picks accordingly.

Bill Walton is a fucking legendary announcer. Van Gundy isn’t even in his class, the way no other program comes close to UCLA.

exactly. In today’s era of homonogized swings, he’s an outlier. two generations ago, he’s a guy who didn’t win much for contending all the time.

two generations ago, he’d be trevino…he’d win a lot more if he wasn’t racing seventy thoroughbreds every tournament. all it takes is one hot putter in the hands of some twenty-something that can blast it 330 for furyk not to get the W.

and lets not go overboard with the furyk is overrated thing…his resume is right in line with fred couples, tom weiskopf and davis love III’s and all those guys had far more ability to hit the ball.

overachiever only because his swing is unorthodox,

Very likeable guy, consumate pro, but he’s the underachiever somehow pegged as an overacheiver.

overachiever only because his swing is unorthodox, even tho it’s as close to being zeroed out as it gets. great short game. overrated putter.

Furyk’s only great year at Augusta was the OMeara/Duval year (98?). His US Open win was considered the worst major field of the past 15 years. He had Oakmont is his hands and choked it away on 17.

All of this. If you don’t like fried chicken and watermelon that’s a massive you-problem.
