He could easily drop 2 strokes here.

Or he could almost make an incredibly long putt and only drop 1.

matsuyama being only 29 still blows my mind.

zalatoris got a shot tho

Z is laying well, but he’s missed 2 makable putts. He could be -11 right now.

Liked when Zalatoris nodded his head after the "go Deacs" shout-out after the birdie putt on #2.

I missed it live, but just went to watch on Masters.com. Heard it clearly.

Dude needs to work on his lag putting

Well then, maybe this'll be a little interesting down the stretch here.

So Migliaccio lost to a Japanese girl and Zalatoris will lose to a Japanese dudea week later. Wake also lost to Clemson by about 60 points in Japan 40 years ago.

if will doesn't win, i'd like to see matsuyama hold on

pretty cool for japan!

hate rooting for chokes unless it’s reed or dj but let’s gooooooo (poorly)

Amazing result for Will either way. He missed some opportunities today but 2 under on Sunday at your first Masters has got to be pretty damn satisfying.

Been rooting for Z. Great effort-- I have had the chance to be at the Masters 3 times. Wonderful experience.

Best experience (golf wise) ever. Fun living so close to Augusta. Z did Deac Nation proud.

A year ago, Zalatoris was 487th in the World after finishing 26th in the LECOM Suncoast Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour (the KFT) in February 2020. The KFT and PGA tour took a three month break due to the pandemic.

Since golf returned, Zalatoris has played in 26 KFT, PGA and USGA events. He has made 25 cuts, finished in the top 10 thirteen times (which is crazy), including a tie for 6th in the US Open at Wingfoot, and yesterday's 2nd place finish in the Masters.

Zalatoris is now the #27 player in the world; yet, he technically doesn't have his PGA Tour card. Not sure if that means he won't be eligible to play in the next major, the PGA Championship, which is scheduled for next month in Kiawah. Would be really dumb for a top 30 player in the world, who just finished 2nd in the Masters and 6th in the US Open to not be eligible for the PGA Championship.

Again was really impressed with Will's poise and ball striking. But also happy for Hideki and Japan. We've had some good Japanese golfers through the years, and this was a long time coming. And the pressure he must have felt had to be enormous. A few years back I went to 2 rounds at East Lake, and I noticed there was an entourage of Japanese press following him around. I remember when Ishikawa was supposed to be the next great thing out of Japan, and he fizzled out. Really fun weekend of golf viewing.

Well hell yeah!
