2019 The Players Championship

[Big Cat 3]

Phil in IDGAF mode

Fraudulent Phil has other things on his mind. Like a plea bargain.

[Big Cat 3]

Zinger bringing the grunting groaning 8th grade girl Romo type broadcasting to another level now ... must be excited or scared of Faldo.

Zinger is beyond bad. Painful to listen to.

[Potatohead]

This clearly isn't the 5th major seeing as how Koepka will likely miss the cut.

 

His biceps look good tho

 

But do they glisten as well as Kaymer's?

[QuigleyDU]

he will miss the cut at the masters as well. Then win the US open.

I’d sure like to see Rory win the Masters.

So, in regards to #17 today, does Tiger get a “worse than most” call line?

[DatSliceDoe]

Just saw the front page article on HVIII and his driver debacle. What a farce the USGA rules have become. The "modern game" is just as perplexingly stupid as the "old game" rules.

It wasn't a new rule.

 

Not my point. The point is these are modern clubs you can literally assemble in seconds on a course, and the rules don't account for this correctly.

 

Also, TW is out of this tourney. I'll be doing some storm cleanup this weekend I suppose rather than watch this one.

 

I don't get this mentality. There are 143 other golfers to watch in this event.

 

I thought he MC'd. I'll be around.

Spieth should get a Srixon driving iron, start hitting stinger's, and ditch the driver for awhile.

Azinger needs a Neuro exam, something is wrong with him.

 

I agree. I think he was plagued with chasing distance as his average is up several yards from a few years ago. He's not doing well with the new TS3, maybe time to bench it.

I've noticed the distance is up a bit too, although I think his ranking hasn't moved as much (20 spots or so).

 

If true (distance chasing), I don't know if it was a bad move or not. I think Phil figured out how to add a lot of distance once Tiger started killing everyone. Phil wasn't short when he came on tour but in the mid-2000s he was one of the longest. This move almost certainly extended his career/relevance, and probably changed it as well. McCormick's main student on the LPGA added ~10 yards and got to #1 for a period.

 

Obviously we know for whatever reasons Spieth isn't playing well now. However, it may be less of a foregone conclusion that "just doing the same thing" would have kept producing the same exceptional results.

 

A lot of Phil’s distance came from optimizing his launch numbers though I’m sure he’s done some pliability and strength training though in conjunction. Phil when he was younger used to hit these majestic risers that start low then rise up to the apex and then flutter down.

 

The steroids help too.

Yes, but you wouldn't have know the beauty of Kaymer's glistening biceps, as he sweats down the fairway.

Good description of his delivery. Sometimes even with any type of preparation, back story research and voice coaching, there's no overcoming who you are. Playing off his RC captaincy. Wish David Duval was selected.

[Ignatius Reilly]

That just might have been the creepiest 30 or so seconds of golf commentary I'd ever heard.

 

I literally could not believe my ears!

[Texas1]

Did you see that chip from Rory on the 12th. Wow, just turd

 

That’s a 25 handicapper effort

 

And then makes a 25footer ?

[i*windows]

Anyone seen Tommy on the telly?

[Scotty1140]

Is ever so slightly less slightly than slightly?

[Potatohead]

Even a catfish is right twice a day

[PZero]

Never would have figured Keith Mitchell would be having a better year than Spieth.

[the bishop]

LOL. Feherty with the dig on Notah about the Teeless driver. Nice.

[AppAlum]

So, in regards to #17 today, does Tiger get a “worse than most” call line?

 

Let’s go with “wetter than most”.

Post of the year!

 

Ok, ok, finally get to watch a little.

 

Hoh! Rory robbed!

[Golfnutgalen]

Has anyone besides Tiger hit it into the water on 17 today? Honest question, I haven't watched all of the coverage.

[jmkenn0]

4 balls in the water, 2 by el tigre?

[golfer07840]

It has taken Rory's group 4:30 to play 14 holes. And Rory isn't slow.

 

My God.

[jmkenn0]

They had Fleetwood and crew on the clock?

[jdl]

Tiger not playing Valspar next week.

I like it! Bravo sir.

[golfer07840]

Did they? That would explain why this round is dragging

[golfer07840]

Tiger not playing Valspar next week.

 

So his warm up to Augusta is going to be Match Play?

 

Not ideal IMO

 

Copperhead course would have been better.

[jdl]

Beautiful shot into 16 by Rory.

 

Also, this was pretty good:

 

@NoLayingUp

 

So classy of Tommy to use the footpath on 17 instead of just walking on water

[Pent08]

Does Rory make the shortest eagle putt of the day?
