One year ago today I was with my brother on the grounds. We watched Spieth miss short birdies up close on Nos. 7 and 9. Those might have been the only two putts he didn’t make in the first 36 holes.
And We Bid You Goodnight…
First Round Thoughts — 04.07.16
My legs are numb.
Some will argue so is my brain.
10 hours on the settee with an iPad, Laptop and TV watching three different feeds is exhausting.
Here’s what caught my eyes and ears from the leader board.

One stop shopping for the confused, undecided and habitually on-time.
Remember, don’t go in the water until 30 minutes after consuming all of this.
Safety first!
Masters Starters for Yahoo! — 04.06-16
Overnight thunderstorms will blow through so fairways should be soft in the morning.
Sub-air will help the greens dry out and so will the sunshine throughout the day.
Looks like the wind increases as the day continues.
Go ugly early!

Group B: Zach Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama (Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy — bench)

Last Week
I bet I wasn’t the only one cussing Spieth’s double and Mickelson’s bogey on the final hole Sunday! Speaking of cussing on Sunday, Lovemark caused a few as well. How does Stricker MC on a course with no rough and perfect greens? Rubbish.
This Week
Group 1: Rory McIlroy
Group 2: Phil Mickelson
Group 3: Paul Casey
Group 4: Chris Kirk
Total Birdies: 23
Group 1: If the weather favors the EARLY-LATE draw then I’m going to change this pick to Spieth or Fowler as they’re first off.
Group 2: Another difficult one but I’m going with the landlord at Augusta again this week. Easier to make the case for who NOT to pick from this group!
Group 3: Illness behind him and his stroke-play results have been on point. Softest group for me this week.
Group 4: Zagging when the rest will zig to the big names of Europe. Good ol’ Georgia boy will do just fine!
