U Gusta, Ga. – Someone will slip on Sunday as a champion of a master tournament on the green jackets of a ters Gusta National Golf Club that the coronavirus epidemic was seven months late.
Dustin Johnson will enter the final round under 16, giving him a commanding four-shot lead. But there is very tough competition under it on the leaderboard. Abraham Anser, Sungje Im and Cameron Smith, all exactly under 12, are in second place. Justin Thomas Frittelli runs behind him from the same period, the same way Dylan Frittelli runs behind him by shot.
Augusta Gusta National officials expect the tournament to be decided much earlier than usual due to scheduled NFL games following a TV broadcast on CBS.
One thing that hasn’t changed in 2020: Masters Purse.
Augusta Gusta will reward professionals playing in the national tournament with પ્રો 11.5 million, the same amount as last year. The winner will receive about 2. 1.2 million (with a green jacket, a lifetime entry into the tournament and an annual invitation to dinner), while the runner-up will be paid more than $ 1.2 million. The 50th ranked player in the tournament will also receive a generous payment of 28 28,980.
The Masters Purse is the largest in golf, although the United States Open awarded the winner 25 12.5 million, including 2. 25.25 million, after the tournament in September.
Cameron Champ begins to warm up.
Masters rookie Cameron Champ birdied his first three holes to place the vault on the first page of the leaderboard, but in the fourth he gave the shocks triple bogging. At the BMW Championships in August, Champ, who is of the race, wore a black golf shoe and a white to protest police brutality against black people after a police shooting of Jacob Black. The New York Times last month spoke with him about racial injustice and how he sees the Masters with its Southern roots.
As he prepared for his master debut last month, Champ gave no reason for August Gusta National to calculate a similar history suffered by his paternal grandfather, who attended courses around Houston that did not allow him to play.
“Growing up, you don’t really learn that thing until you get older,” Champ said in an interview last month.
He added, “It’s obviously a super historical historical tournament and something that clearly still means a lot to me.” “I don’t think he needs to give up. I think it just has to do with time. Now that we are in different times, things have changed. “
As a boy in South Korea, Sungaj Im will stay up all night until the beginning of April. It was the only way he could see the Masters as he lit up.
Now it’s South Korea that will continue for Im, who started four strokes later on Sunday against Dustin Johnson in the Masters this year and tied for three in the second.
“I know a lot of people are sitting back home and not sleeping watching the masters, watching me perform,” IMA said through an interpreter on Saturday. “I want to keep composing again and make sure I finish strong so I can make them happy.”
History has shown that it will not be easy. For the first time in the Masters, no player has won a tournament since Fuji Zuller received a green jacket in 1979. But Eme, who is playing for the first time at the Augusta Gusta National on Monday, said he is comfortable in the course. Looking down at the fairway from each TB box, he said, they could easily visualize their strategy.
“I can see where to hit him and where not to hit him,” he said. “I think that’s why I’m happy to play here.”
His group on Sunday includes Johnson and Abraham Anser, who are also making a master debut.
Bryson is not Dechembu Quite Things out.
Tell me what you like about Brian de Chembe, but that man can recover.
One graph left a favorite selection of the Deccanbau, Preet tournament on Saturday morning in the second round at exactly the cut. He didn’t win: He scored 69 on Saturday, his best round of the tournament, and entered the 29th tie.
A comeback to win this year’s green jacket is highly unlikely – the tournament record after holes 54 holes, set by Jack Burke Jr. in 1956, is eight strokes – but Dechembu can still finish with a much more reliable performance than it currently has. Just felt. Maybe.
Dichembe started with a bogey on the 10th hole on Sunday, but made Par-5 No. 13 an eagle, where he posted a double bogey in the second round.
The 14th hole is the second where Dichembu has toggled between results this week: birdie, par and bagi. Once he reaches the third hole, he has to disassociate himself from the golfing monsters that left him with a triple bogie on Friday and his tournament is almost completely off track.
What could be crucial to any success for De Chembue is whether his dizziness, which he said started Thursday night, has been resolved. He said he has tested negative for coronavirus.
“Every time I turn and come back my attitude is to lose a little bit,” De Chembue said Saturday. “So I don’t know what’s going on. I have to go and do some blood work and check and find out what is going on for this season. “
The start of Sunday was delayed due to fog
A thick fog filled the August Gusta area on Sunday morning, delaying 10 minutes for all tees. Conditions began to clear up after 9 a.m. until Rory McLean, Brooks Koepka and Tommy Fleetwood hit their shots at No. 1, although the government’s ganse fog adviser was not to end until 11 p.m.
With the groups listed below the fog pushes back the start time by ten minutes.
Finally, forecasters said, August Gusta will see a partial sunny day with an altitude of 80 degrees.
The final round will begin at 10 a.m. on CBS, ending at noon earlier than on Sunday, and the green jacket presentation ends before the television broadcast reaches NFL coverage at 2 p.m.
Big loss this year? Ticket scalpers.
To reach the Augusta Gusta National Golf Club from downtown on Sunday morning, you also ran the rest restaurants of the past, retailers and a church, in which “this is the master’s house.” Indicated with a sign.
Absent: Ticket Scalpers. Usually during the Masters Week the main part of August Gusta, especially near Interstate 20, resellers do not have tickets to sell because the club’s supporters banned it as fans were known at the tournament’s conference this year.
“The Masters are really, in my estimation, the biggest tickets in the world,” said James D’Azglio, a ticket broker who said 40 percent of the business is held each year at the club’s only major golf course at the same club. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event for a lot of people.”
Club officials hope fans will be able to return next year, but they have given no guarantees. And the collapse of the resale market around Masters is a feature of the big issues in the ticket industry at a time when there are many live events.
Tiger Woods still feels the weight of previous masters.
Defending Masters champion Tiger Woods was overwhelmed with emotion when he stunned a dinner of past winners on Tuesday night.
“He said he was going to the golf course, and he had to stop because he had tears in his eyes and paused for a moment on the road because a lot of the memories in his mind were passing so fast,” Gary Player, August Gusta National Three-time winner at, called back on Thursday.
Six-time Masters winner Jack Nickel shared the player’s assessment: “I’ve never seen Tiger like this. But it was good. “
Woods, who is tied at 20 and will enter the final round five distances, will surely need to steel his nerves for Sunday, when he will either set a Nickelsen Masters record or release one of the August Gusta National’s green jackets. He posted an even-par post૨ on Saturday, the highest round of this year’s tournament, and said he didn’t think about the potential sentiments of Sunday.
“I was focused on trying to get myself into the argument tomorrow,” said Woods, who was assigned to play with yesterday’s British Open winner Shane Lori and Masters debutant Scotty Schaffler. “
Woods said, “We’ll see how emotional he will be after tomorrow’s round.
Soft greens reward aggressive play.
Week Gusta National was flooded with rain last week, saturated and the greens slowed down, which is usually lightning fast. As a result, players are able to aim at pins on par-3. In the first three rounds, Dustin Johnson played four short holes in the 4-under. His closest challenges also performed well on him: Sungje Im (2-under); Abraham Anser, (4-under); Cameron Smith, (3-under); Dylan Frittelli (also similar) and Justin Thomas (2-under).
“You can be really aggressive because the conditions are mild, even if you have the club in your hands.” Johns said.
The green jacket ceremony will be 2020-IID.
Not too long from now on, someone will be presented with green jackets that are offered by Augusta National to members from 137 since37 and Masters winners since 9 since offered (and, as we wrote this week, anyone – including you!) Sometimes auction Buy on the block).
The green jacket ceremony, as always, will be in the butler cabin. But Fred S., president of the Augusta Gusta National. Ridley said home watchers would see more rooms than usual as participants, including Tiger Woods, the ruling champion, would keep more distance according to social distance guidelines.
“We’ll have the same people in the cabin with the same basic ritual, but I think we can do it right,” Ridley said.
A typical part of Sunday’s festivities, though, won’t happen: no ceremony will take place on the 18th Green, most likely, Ridley said, as the event is primarily designed for spectators taking part in the tournament.
