The Masters 2022: first round – live!
…awful accident means he won’t be here this year; here’s to the great man rebuilding his health and completing yet another fairytale comeback. A sixth Masters in 2022? Hey, we’re allowed to dream.We can’t have been serious. Was the heart ruling the head? Not sure. But here we are!
We’ll be keeping close tabs on the five-time winner this morning as he attempts a comeback for the ages that would make 2019’s comeback for the ages look like a walk in the park.Other players are available, though! The favourite going into the week is reigning US Open champion Jon Rahm, aiming to become the fourth Spaniard to pull on a jacket in Pantone 342. Justin Thomas, the one and only player in the field that’ll be getting beneficial advice from Tiger, if you believe Rahm, is not far behind in the betting. A second major is long overdue for the 2017 PGA champ.Smith has a sensational record at Augusta – three top-ten finishes in five starts, including a tie for second a couple of Novembers ago.
And of course there’s the reigning champion Hideki Matsuyama, bidding to become the first player since Tiger in 2002 to successfully defend his title. We could go on for some time – Bryson! Bubba!! Sergio!!! - but what would be the point? There aren’t too many no-hopers in this field. So make yourself a pimento cheese sandwich, pour a long cool glass of iced tea, pine for the legendary Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich and settle down.Until then, here are the tee times. Peruse and select your winner ...13.22 Larry Mize, Francesco Molinari , Sepp Straka 13.44 Kyoung-Hoon Lee , Ryan Palmer, Vijay Singh 14.
