10 questions from the Burning Master answered by Augusta National

The heart of the United States is thirty thousand feet over – it’s Masters Week, which is no surprise to you, dear readers. But while Tiger Woods is not in this field, there are still a lot of things happening, and as we get into Augusta National Golf Club’s first major of the season, we hope to answer a lot of Burning questions.

Who is ready? Who is not? Who reached the peak? Who have we forgotten? Let’s get started. Here are 10 burning questions we have for this 2025 Master, and we’ll be writing in the air to Georgia.

How about Scottie Scheffler’s hand?

In a former press conference on March 19, Schevler admitted that it took some time to get his strength back into his hands after being injured on Christmas Day, forcing him to miss his first game.

“It’s definitely a tweak to not be able to do these things,” Scheffler said. “So, is that getting me back a little bit? Maybe that’s it. But I feel like I’m learning a lot now, and I’m definitely doing something to start a year. It’s good. I’m sure there are things I can definitely improve, like I said, I’m saying, my swing, I feel really excited. When we’re in our situation, we’re excited. [at the Players]. ”

The comments were posted two weeks ago before the Scheffler T2 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, so this could be a sign of improvement for the hand. Perhaps it proves how great he has been in the last few years in April, and it is almost strange that Scheffler hasn’t won in six games. It’s really a world.

It’s this at last A year in Rory?

He likes the position of the game, won two championships in five games and is not as good as T17 this season. He has finished seven top ten in Augusta National over the past decade, but he has no box to try to figure out the best way he can prepare for the game, the only game he needs to win to complete a career grand slam.

One day, you’ll think, he’ll win one of these jackets. But until he did, we were all thought that maybe he was just troubled by the course. He has always been a favorite here, probably him, but this year there does seem to be more motivation around him. Maybe it was because Scotty didn’t rule Florida as usual. Maybe it’s because people finally think it’s time. Maybe Rory has paid the membership fee? We will find out soon.

Which Bryson will we see?

Bryson DeChambeau made headlines when he called the Master 67 in the pandemic-delayed 2020 event, but he fell to the T34 that year (and then went on to win the U.S. Open on Winged Foot). But despite his strength, he never really hit Augusta until last year. He finished the T6 and won the crowd, not only because he picked up a sign and hung it over his shoulder like a laundry on the corner of Amen.

Last year’s top ten, then finished second in the runner-up in PGA and the second-place U.S. Open Championship, where he beat McIlroy. Although he did say his “great thought” on Friday, his accent season isn’t exciting, and that has to be a thing, right?

“I’m happy with life. Not only has it brought me a lot of positive things, but it’s not only [with my YouTube channel] But, apart from that, business and people around me. “He said Friday in Miami. “I think we’re stronger than ever, and ultimately that’s the most important thing.” Yes, wearing a green jacket, winning the U.S. Open Trophy, winning the Open Championship, PGA Championship, and it’s all great. But in reality, what matters to me is the people around me and the people I can trust. ”

Charming! But does that mean he will win this week? Meet Bryson and he will definitely make headlines. In what way? Let’s take a look.

Did Viktor Hovland win the trend or did the Haishi Rage Building?

Remember, Viktor won the last two playoff games in 2023 – Nine Top 10 – Ready to sweep the world of golf? Well, this doesn’t necessarily mean it will be eliminated. Hovland missed his third straight win with no win last year (only two top 10s) and even shot 80 in the first round of the year. so certainly The following week, he won the Valspar title. Very good, right? OK, yes, of course. But he didn’t sound overconfident, and immediately closed down the victory. In fact, he sounded surprised. He hasn’t participated since then. Can you believe him? That’s what you can figure it out.

Will magic numbers change?

This should be a nice little master week weather. This isn’t counting on Monday, most of the rain is going to be a frustrating fan base now and will have a chance to return to the Masters next Monday. But, besides the chance of raining later this week, it should be a great day in ideal conditions. The last four Masters champions all ended in the same position – under 10 (twice), under 11 and under 12 – so that could be the magic number that keeps the tag this week. Will it change? Who can get there first? Or, more importantly, who can stay there?

Which player without a major player will throw away the tag?

Let’s get to the list: Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, Tommy Fleetwood, Patrick Cantlay, Sepp Straka, Corey Conners, Sam Burns, Russell Henry – all these guys (a few more) are the best players who will never win the top professional candidates. Xander Schauffele is on this list, but you remember last year, right? Two majors. He was properly kicked out of the club. Aberg is probably the best player to not have a player right now, although he certainly hasn’t played the longest game. Last year, he finished second in his first Masters, and now, thanks to a February victory in Genesis Invititation, the world is ranked fifth. He is a fashionable choice this week.

yes at last Joaquin Niemann’s time?

Forgot to win the Masters, it’s time to make 26-year-old Nieman simple Appear In professional. Niemann, one of the most talented players on a professional golf course, won two titles on the PGA Tour and then booked Liv, who won two titles last year and has won twice this year. Phil Mickelson calls Niemann the top player in the sport after his latest win at Liv Golf in Singapore last month. Bold? You dare to bet. Especially since Niecmann once. Last year he was in the Masters and the T16 the year before was the T22.

How much magic did Phil leave behind?

If you’ve been listening to Phil Mickelson’s speech at golf this year, you might like his chances this week. He has confidence. He played very well. He is talking about changes in course management. It all comes from the three Masters champions two years ago. He is 54 now, but some players aren’t that fast in Augusta National, where knowledge is crucial and we’ve seen a few players discover a little magic in the second half of their careers. That is to say, how much magic did Mickelson leave behind? He was third and sixth in two of the four LIVs starting this year, who was in Miami’s Lef on Sunday.

Collin Morikawa will win this victory…right?

I admit it’s a biased entry, but Morikawa has given me a lot of love when she digs out the Master’s favorites over the past week. First, he has won two majors before, so he doesn’t have to worry about the nerves of the first place, and his game is Perfect For the Augusta country. One of the best ball hitters in the game is this season, leading by stroke: approach. He has also been sniffing his wins this season, finishing second with two runner-ups in the T10 and T17. He is in the best position to perform well, playing secretly, eager for his next victory, which hasn’t happened since the 2023 Zozo title. The last one was on Collin – he played five times here and was in the right direction. He has never surpassed the top 20 after his debut in 2020, with his last three appearances in the top 10, including third last year.

Will the masters unveil new sandwiches?

It’s been a few years, right? (I just want to lower this list to 10. My plane is landing and I need to wrap it up.)

Happy Master Week.
