I just caught a glimpse of the Masters action on TV, and Gary Woodland's play caught my eye. He's had some tough breaks at Augusta before, like back in 2023.

You can't win the Masters on Friday, but you can sure lose it.

I'm looking at the leaderboard, and it's a logjam at the top - Sam Burns, Rory McIlroy, and Kurt Kitayama are all tied. I do know Rory's got the chops for this course, having won it outright at -11 back in 2025. Wyndham Clark navigated Amen Corner without too much trouble, playing the 11th, 12th, and 13th in even par. That's no small feat, especially considering the challenges of that stretch. I'm thinking the real action starts on the back 9 on Sunday - that's the most pressure-packed stretch in sports. My money's on Rory, but it's still early days.
