at least for the time being. Don't get me wrong, I love playing it and always watched it especially the majors but lately it has gotten as dull liek never before. I mean I can't even bother to bet on it because I just don't care who wins. No names. Ok ya Bubba Watson but really?

I hope it gets better but right now its like tennis for me. No more controversial stars. No personalities. I can't watch it anymore. Boring.

Too slow for me.

The first 7 innings of a basball game put me to sleep....golf puts me in a coma.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I watched the entire round and thought it was great. Loved every minute of it.

As for the leaderboard being no names, the top 3 are Spieth, Watson and Kuchar. All are considered top 10ish golfers and really big names. Jimenez (always plays well at Augusta) is 2 back. Fowler 2 back. Furyk 3 back. Some good foreigners really close such as Westwood and Rose (also really big names). And finally Couples at 4 back.

Cant wait for tomorrow.

Having said all that, I totally understand it's not for everyone. For instance, you couldn't pay me to watch a hockey game on TV. Just not for me.

If you're following the tired old cliché about the Masters not beginning until the back nine on Sunday, you're missing some fine golf. Yes, there's no Tiger, and Phil tapped out Friday night. But we've still got star power young and old up and down the leaderboard

"[Sunday] you're going to see, someone is going to come from 2-over to 3- to 4-under early in the round, where maybe [the course is] a little softer," the 54-year-old Couples said.

You'd expect that everyone within four strokes of the lead, a total of 13 golfers, has a reasonable chance at victory. Throw in that outlier that Couples is talking about, and you bring in another dozen or so. It's going to be a fine Masters Sunday indeed

4-1

Matt Kuchar (-4): We've been waiting for Kuchar to win a major ever since his spectacular debut at the Masters in 1998, when he tied for 21st as the low amateur. He's been on a steady upward trajectory the last few years, and while closing is always a problem for the lanky Kuchar, he's right in that career sweet spot where a major would cement his position among his generation's greats.

"I'm certainly excited about my chances for [Sunday]," Kuchar said. "It's going to be one of those unique and special days.

Caroline Wozniacki is back to blonde.

The Danish tennis star, who is engaged to golfer Roy McIlroy, showed up for the final round of the Masters on Sunday with her hair dyed to its typical blonde color.


Surely by coincidence, McIlory's game improved, too. The two-time major winner shot a 3-under 69 - his best score in four rounds at Augusta National

The Masters will distribute a record $9 million in prize money. <section class="yom-mod " id="mediacontentrelatedstory" data-ylk="mid:mediacontentrelatedstory;mpos:1;elm:hdln;elmt:ct;cat:Related Stories;rspns:nav;t1:a3;t2:lst-ct;itc:0;sec:lst-ct;">



</section>


The tournament announced the disbursement Sunday, a few hours before the final round ended at Augusta National.

The winner will get $1.62 million, up from $1.44 million in 2013. Second place will pay $972,000, up from $864,000 a year ago

For the 10th year in a row I will tell you that golf on tv is the best way to take a nap. Nothing better period. That aside I do like watching all of the majors, did not see alot of Masters this year. Come to think of it I haven't had a nap in a week. Coincidence?
