Key events
The weather gods are smiling on Augusta National today. It’s sunny, as warm as it’s been all week, and there’s not too much in the way of wind. A light swirl here or there may cause some indecision and a little local difficulty, but nothing that should cause too much concern. There’s a score out there. Go get it.
Preamble
There really is no need for the hard sell. Not when this is on offer. Not when it could finally happen. You know. It.
Group 27, 2.30pm, Rory McIlroy 204, Bryson DeChambeau 206
Corey Conners may also have something to say about that, as might a few assorted others, but let’s not waste precious energy on idle speculation. Because we’re going to need every drop of the stuff when things get real. Because they will, they certainly will. Here are the tee times. This blog will get going at 6pm BST. Emotion guaranteed. Drama for sure. Tears of one variety or another certain. It’s on!
