WGC Mexico

[gunslinger646]

What a great field...I've been on "maternity" leave since January, have really enjoyed all the great tournaments thus far this year.

Normal day for Phil. It's how he golfs his ball.

 

These 2 playing worst ball in their primes would be epic

Thanks NaBUru. It looks like you may have your weekly tournament gig back since the new guy is no longer around.

JT needs to learn "get in the bunker" in Spanish, all week he'll be ducking into a translator app, won't be able to focus - "I know that kid is talking smack, I just know it."

 

lmao, I am going to take rahm.

 

Kinda pissed that Trump and Co. ruined this for Doral/Miami as that is basically where I fell in love with golf, but such is life.

Lol - that would make for some very interesting golf! Maybe throw in a little van de Velde just in case they need a 3rd for the group ;)

Did Rory give a reason for not playing?

Me neither. Had to watch old golf channel footage.

[Bingo1976]

Looking forward to this event. Last year was a blast in more ways than one. Great course and good to see the WGC visit new venues the World.

 

FTFY

[thevaporz]

DK Rahm, Fleetwood, Perez, Molinari, Aphibarnrat, & Henley.

[andrieddle]

Fleetwood and Noren are due for their win.....

[bbedell]

I'll take Tiger!!!!!....oh wait, he's not allowed to play...lol. Ok I'm taking Jon Rahm coming off 2 weeks of rest. He will hit driver on almost every hole while others are laying up and hit little wedge shots to the smallish greens. If you guys give me a mulligan I will take Phil.

 

you can have a second mulligan after those first two picks

[Peter7L]

I really like the WGC events because of their strong field. The Thursday/Friday groups are really cool:

DJ, JT, Rahmbo - no words needed

Garcia, Fleetwood, Noren - Euro top class

Phil and Bubba together - the lefty hook and slice festival

Rose, Spieth, Fowler - another group I would watch 5 hours alone.

 

Bring it on!

Those should be some entertaining groups. Really enjoyed this event last year so I'm hoping for more of the same.

[pcs11]

I really like this event. Love all those trees on this course!

 

It is also a great time of year to have this event as there is nothing on TV right now.

Seeing Norren on the range...I honestly thought he was trying to be funny and recreate Shaq's swing. Nope, just his pre-swing routine.

I don't know if it's my lack of understanding the D-Plane but it seems like that guy is trying to rip the club left.

[jacobEDGE]

And by Shaq, I mean Charles Barkley.

 

Rahm pushing his tee shot on 1 way way right with an iron. Yikes.

[jacobEDGE]

Noren just looks sloppy out there.

 

His pants look like jeans/denim, and his shirt doesn't look tucked in even though it is. I'm very confused by his appearance.

UHHGG!....what are we gonna do?!?!?!?!

Post about it on the internet.

[delfam]

Rahmm looking real good today. Not sure what that 1st shot was but he's on point today

[FadeOnly]

Fleetwood and Noren are due for their win.....

 

Combined +3 on #12... Great start..

[Jackhammer993]

Was hoping Jordan would putt better. Already short miss on first hole.

[Jackhammer993]

Coverage seems a little clunky. I think this course is hard to broadcast from. Camera angles are strange.

[WidespreadPanic]

I would love to to play this course. I like this announcing crew so much better than Nantz and crew (mostly McCord). I'm a big fan of DD's insight.

[Konklifer]

Loving all the trees.

[ebrasmus21]

Phil hasn't made his way into the forest just yet. Very nice, Phil, very nice.

[MountainGoat]

Do I have to spend another week hearing about the indeciptherable mysteries of kikuyu?
