Rory McIlroy is gonna crumble...

**RollPlayer** · 04-10-11, 12:01 AM

No way, Rory is playing too well to give this lead up

**VegasInsider** · 04-10-11, 12:05 AM

I do like The Field wager with so many good players behind him. There aren't just 1 or 2 guys within striking distance...someone could go out and post a number while Rory still has an hour left to play. Also, I don't see a 63-64 out there tomorrow. It's been too hot and dry all week and these greens are lightning right now. Players were having some problems with the short ones today...I think we'll see more of the same tomorrow. I'd like to see one of those guys at 8-under go out and shoot a 67 and post 13-under on that board for Rory to look at going through 17 and 18

We'll see, should be fun to watch...

the back 9 at Augusta is famous for comebacks, he's gonna have 7-8 guys trying to birdie every hole, while he'll be trying to hold on to a lead...

Point bet? Give me Rory for 100?

Confirmed. Rory loses I'll ship 120.

**gregm** · 04-10-11, 12:10 AM

I thought a kid that young would have already felt the pressure and faded at one of the greatest courses in the world like augusta but he looked incredibly impressive today. Dsi has Rory in a head to head with cabrera tonight for round 4 and he is only at -120 but he is at -140 against the whole field??? Unreal, thinking it must be a line error.

Maybe some linesmakers have no confidence in him on sunday, I do.

kid is nails so far, think he will do enough to go wire to wire.

**beermankirk** · 04-10-11, 01:33 AM

Hard to lose that lead. He needs to lose 2-3 strokes and KJ Choi needs to hit a heater.

-120 is the right line.

**valaub04** · 04-10-11, 01:39 AM

I don't think Rory will go backwards, his current form is too good and the back 9 will be set for low scores. If someone else wins they're going to need a 65 or better. Possible, but not likely.

**dfberger23** · 04-10-11, 01:41 AM

No way, Rory got this easy.

Would make a point bet with you but I could only pay you back at 2 a day if he chokes.

Let me know.

**Trampas** · 04-10-11, 01:56 AM

I think it will take someone to make a quick early start to put the pressure on.

If nobody makes an early break and rory starts steady it could be hard to close down.

The 1st 6 holes could set up the day

**jjgold** · 04-10-11, 06:58 AM

I doubt it, his swing is too good and weather perfect

What the fukk do you know about golf..

You're built like a five foot linebacker..

Guys like you played handball in highschool...

**jjgold** · 04-10-11, 07:06 AM

Course is not playing hard
This is not the British Open
He plays safe today he wins easy

**Diamondgeezer** · 04-10-11, 07:29 AM

Plenty of birdie chances on 13, 14 and 15.

Mcilroy has only won two tournaments so far and defending a lead could weigh heavily on the back nine. He only needs to drop say two shots and some other player shoot very low for it all to be on again.

I bets some of those guys a few shots back will quietly really fancy it as it's like a shot to nothing for them.

**milwaukee mike** · 04-10-11, 08:17 AM

people that think young guys crumble under pressure don't know the history of the masters/sports.

tons of masters winners under 30, and the guys that blow leads are usually the older guys like greg norman or tom watson.
biggest choke jobs in a major - van de velde was 33, norman was 41, watson was 50, etc etc.

all mcilroy has to do with the pin positions today is shoot even par, and if you've been watching his iron game i see this as a pretty easy thing to do.
there aren't enough birdies available on that course on the final day for someone behind him to shoot a 65.

Field +120

Somebody is gonna shoot 63-64 and I promise you it won't be Rory...

My guess is Luke Donald makes a run...

Yeah, Rory's looked nervous all week, he's played like crap, I see 88 out of the kid today.

**jwbama23** · 04-10-11, 08:22 AM

Ill say this about Rory, he is a fun player to watch. I typically dont pull for the Euro's but this dude has some serious game

He's tapping this too

**adlai** · 04-10-11, 08:48 AM

he's not your average young golfer. he'll win the masters.

**Domestic** · 04-10-11, 08:50 AM

Rory only has to shoot par and he wins in my opinion.

**usgtf** · 04-10-11, 08:53 AM

Historically final round pin placements are in sadistic places. You will see many 3 putts today! All this kid has to do is shootfor middle of green on his approach shots and the green jacket is his..I think this kid DONALD will give him a scare..

**scottie2005** · 04-10-11, 09:06 AM

I hope he puts up a round in the 60's, would like to see him pull it out

**falconticket** · 04-10-11, 09:09 AM

Rory Rory Rory. I got him in my pool.

**Skidcom** · 04-10-11, 09:13 AM

I think he hangs in there. He is a pretty even keeled unemotional player. A little cocky too

Ditto. Only guys I think can catch him are KJ and Donald and they'll have to shoot 67 or better imo. But anything can happen on Sunday.

**nj1035** · 04-10-11, 10:33 AM

Hope not!

I just wagered him at -143 to win the whole thing. It's a big bet for me too. It seems to me he is confident and playing well, and with a 4 stroke lead it's going to be hard to catch him. I don't see him crumbling but I've been wrong before.

**jjgold** · 04-10-11, 10:37 AM

Good bet NJ

This kid is big time

Agree with this. McIlroy hasn't missed a shot yet.

I think Cabrera is in a nice spot to make a run.

**nyplayer33** · 04-10-11, 11:48 AM

he will win, 80 percent confidence

**CharlestonCock** · 04-10-11, 11:53 AM

On Rory to win as well!

Maybe the US Open but not at Augusta.

Generous pin placements on Sundays - this is a TV sport and they want winners with impressive scores. Course is challenging enough that it's never a joke to begin with.
