Good morning from The Masters

It was another great Thursday and Friday for our ESPN crew at The #Masters . We hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as Scott Van Pelt, I and the rest of our golf team enjoyed bringing it to you!

I wrote about Tiger Woods, who is still grinding and -- for a record 24th straight time -- still believing he can compete on the weekend at Augusta: espn.com/golf/story/_/i…

The leaderboards The Masters are iconic.
I had the incredible honor to climb up in the 7/17 leaderboard, to learn the distinct language and intricate choreography the operators use to inform the patrons.
(I even got to place a placard in the scoreboard during tournament play!)

Good morning on Masters Saturday! Let’s hope today is even half as good/crazy as yesterday was!
