Mariner Talk Chat Forum

1. Pick one golfer from each of the 3 color groups. (that is the easy part)
2. If one or more of your golfers does NOT make the cut you will retain their scores for the first two rounds.
3. You are allowed to choose a golfer FROM THEIR SAME COLOR GROUP that did make the cut to replace them.
4. You then get the scores of the replacement golfers for rounds 3 and 4.
5. Lowest total score wins.

Please let me know if you have questions so there is no confusion. Thanks and Good Luck!!

Always enjoy this Master's contest. Thanks for presenting it again, Darren.

Red: Will Zalatoris

Zalatoris has said he gets comparisons to Owen Wilson quite a bit, but the one that gained the most steam during the 2021 Masters was a comparison to Jared van Snellenberg. If that doesn’t sound like a household name to you, don’t worry. He hasn’t been in a film in nearly 20 years, according to his imdb page. But the role most golf fans know van Snellenberg for is the role of “Happy Gilmore’s caddie” in the 1996 film Happy Gilmore.

The comparisons got so mainstream that even Adam Sandler, star of Happy Gilmore, tweeted Zalatoris during the 2021 Masters and joined the fray. Sandler tweeted “Have fun today young man. Mr. Gilmore is watching you and very proud.”

Green: Sun-Jae Im

Tidbit about Sungjae Im:

Never uses #4 golf ball because the number is a symbol of bad luck and sounds similar to the word "death" in South Korea.

Blue: Santiago De La Fuente

I found this interesting about De la Fuente

Written by Helen Ross
@Helen_PGATOUR
Reigning Latin America Amateur champion to compete in Mexico Open
Santiago De la Fuente was about 3 years old when he first picked up a golf club. He learned the game from his father, Gerardo, a man he happily describes as the “greatest 35 handicap you’re ever going to see” and who was his only teacher until his mid-teens.

“I don’t know how he did it, to be honest,” Santiago says. “He said that he read a book about Tiger and that’s kind of how he understood what to do. But I don’t know. I don’t know.”

Santiago grew up playing a semi-private club in his hometown of Ocotlán, Mexico, that was near a factory that manufactured the acetate tow used in cigarette filters. Water from the plant helped irrigate the short, tight fairways where the premium was on hitting the driver with precision.

“I’m not going to lie,” he says. “It was the worst golf course I’ve ever played in my life. But it was challenging.”

Spurred on by the daily competition with his older brother, Diego, who had an “unreal” short game, Santiago started playing in tournaments when he was 9 years old. He didn’t have a coach, though, or even a full set of clubs until he was in high school, and Paco Saracho saw something in his game.

Now Santiago, who learned English by watching reruns of “Friends” so he could play college golf in the United States, is the reigning winner at the Latin America Amateur Championship (LAAC). The University of Houston senior is playing this week in the Mexico Open at Vidanta for the second time, and the All-American has exemptions into the Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship thanks to his LAAC victory.
