2019 BMW Championship

[MK7Golf21]

I was at practice round yesterday, heard tiger showed up in parking lot around 2. Thought he might head to range but never did, got worked on and went to some green behind clubhouse that I don’t even know if spectators can get to, I couldn’t find it. Was late in day anyway and most people left, like 4:30pm. This course is much better than Conway farms that they have had bmw at in recent years

TW now 60/1 from 50/1

[2putttom]

No idea who to pick. I assume most of the players have not played a competitive round here. I think the last tour event here other ran Ryder Cup (2012) was 2006 PGA Championship and gatorMD can tell us who won that. For my Draft Kings line up I went:

* Spieth - keeps putting himself in position then weekends happen

* Fowler - fanboy, literally pick him every week he plays; unfortunately seems like he is less focused on golf after the WMO win early this season (I have nothing to back this up)

* Finau - due

* Bryson - I would rofl so hard after all the slow play hate (and rightfully so) that he has gotten

* Tiger - probably a stupid pick and the first time I picked him this season but he has won 2 PGA championships here

* Rafa Cabrera-Bello - Europe beat us here so have to have a European

Any idea who he had on the bag?

 

I'm predicting a better finish and a few smiles for JDay this week. :)

Thought I read that he had Luke Reardon back on the bag, but I could be way off there.

 

Hopefully he can get some smiles out there and lead to a better finish getting him to the TC.

Will be out there all day tomorrow - looking forward to it.

I’m pretty sure yesterday it was just an Evans scholar caddie or something like that. When the kid (looked 17-25 YO) was raking the bunker Day made a comment to him about the sand being real easy to rake, huh. Then the caddy put the rake down in front of the bunker and Day picked it up and moved it to the top side out of the way of the landing area.

Well, that's one way to respond to the slow play problem, PGA Tour.

Kisner paired with Bryson. Good Christ.

I hope the tour sent Kiz an Edible Arrangement or something in advance.

[bscinstnct]

Tigerrrrrr!

 

[wcbjr]

Get ready for even more commercials and interviews with the smaller field!

 

Ugh.

They're paired by FedEx Cup rankings...not exactly their fault.

[Darth Putter]

someone said we needed more commercials?

 

[tiderider]

be interesting to see how medinah plays ... they've been able to lengthen it and toughen it up a bit over the years ...

[MK7Golf21]

So Tiger admits to Matt killen taking a look at his swing as well in recent months since masters win. He also says new moves he’s trying to make in his swing to relieve his spine has caused these little flair ups because those muscles aren’t use to it. Man, he was doing so good on his own, sitting here watching 2018 bmw and he looks great

it's a much more walking friendly course than Conway, and has some good elevation too.

covers a bit less acreage on the second nine than Lake Forest.

being on the property puts me in a good mood.

No one is forcing you to watch this over commercialized rubbish. They've ruined golf coverage with too many commercials and over production.

[OldTomMorris]

No cut so unless Tiger can't play all four rounds this will only be his third 72 holes since the Masters and first since the US Open. Very difficult to be optimistic about anyones chances, even the great Tiger Woods, with that amount of tournament play under their belt.

I like how in the midst of all the slow play talk this week that noted jackrabbit J.B. Holmes is leading off the first group. This should go well.

Good call, I obviously forgot about that. My mistake.

[caseFSU]

Anyone else not seeing a Thursday Featured Group on PGA Tour Live through Amazon Prime? I only see Fri-Sun.

[wcbjr]

I see the same thing.

[wcbjr]

JB Holmes first player off, gonna be a looooong round.

Amazing, isn't it. Truth really is stranger than fiction. After last week, you couldn't make something like that up if you tried. They should just send his group out 45 minutes before the 2nd group. Small field this week, not like you have to worry about running out of daylight.

DVR. I NEVER watch a reg tourney live (except limited commercial ones). Even with dvr the # of times I have to fast forward can be annoying.
