2017 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational: Photos and Discussion

[atursky]

GolfWRX is live this week from the 2017 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club (South Course), in Akron, Ohio. The course, which first opened in 1929, will play as a 7,400-yard par-70 for the event.

 

The field, which includes 33 of the top 35 players in the FedExCup Playoff Standings, according to PGATour.com, is headlined by Dustin Johnson, who is ranked No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings and is the event's defending champion. Also in the field is Jordan Spieth (No. 2 in the OWGR), who's making his first start since his 2017 Open Championship victory, as well as notables Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Sergio Garcia, Matt Kuchar, Justin Rose, Hideki Matsuyama, Adam Scott, and more of the world's top golfers.

 

Last year, D. Johnson shot a pair of 66's on the weekend to win by one stroke over Scott Piercy. Johnson has won three events so far in 2017, but his winning momentum was halted by a freak back injury at The 2017 Masters.

Curious to see if anyone knows why the tee times are set to go off so early this year? In the past they usually start around 9 or 10am. I'm assuming it's because of the weather, but am unsure.

 

thanks!

Good catch. I've been there a few times and i know they start early but the last tee time of the day is at 9:30 am! Thurs/Fri is 90 and 100% chances of rain and thunderstorms so I'm sure that's why. Luckily it looks clear for the weekend.

Yeah me too. Sometimes they do sometimes they don't. And it's only the pics that Greg or someone at wrx posts. I don't have the same issue looking at the classified or WITB.

 

The pics that load are great as always

Wow which putter is this?

 

And can someone direct me to or share a link that shows Hidekis putter with shaft and all? I've already seen the pic of the sole but can't find a pic showing the entire set up.

 

And I was in Vegas over the weekend so I didn't get to watch the tournament. ☹️

 

Thanks!
