On Thursday and Friday, the results are calculated. Some players will be drawn immediately while others stay in the quarrel. But today? It’s Tuesday. There is nothing but optimism and good vibration and hope. Mid -60s and blue sky. When it is sunny, how is it today, Crow’s nest It tastes better.

When my year starts in January, this is always in the back of your mind. You always have the second week in April at the back of your mind. I think I also sit at home last week, building it, I love it.
You can point out that Monday, technicallyIt should be the happiest day in Golf, the first official day of the masters.

Who needs a reset? Is Victor Hovland’s game returning? BEN Rory Mcilroy Earn the green jacket? What about Joe Highsmith? He is 24 years old, making his first appearance of masters in his 39th starter PGA Tour. Would what did a win for him this week mean? Things that change life. He is 350 for 1 to win, but on Tuesday everyone has a chance, everyone is optimistic.
Come on Thursday, dozens of players will be eliminated by quarrels. More will miss the cut on Friday. Some will make the weekend but not everyone will have a realistic chance to win. On Sunday, only one person gets a green jacket.
But on Tuesday? They all have a reason to smile.
