Rory is going to have to enter an extreme state of grace to make the cut.

 

(It is so damn difficult to be a Rory fan these days.)

 

Sigh. Yes, he has become quite the little heartbreaker.

 

I said it before but today it seems to be true again.

 

When it comes to Rory I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Who is Spieth paired with for round 3?

[gatorpedsMD]

tiger brings so much exposure to the copperhead course and we love him for that! i always say this is one of the best course on the tour and gets almost no love. Thank you TIGER! I'll be there over the weekend if any golfwrx members want to meet up and drink; I'll be with an OM and Copperhead member and we always go hard on the course! =)

This has become one of my favorite events to watch. This is my favorite event of the Florida swing. All respects to the API, that's a great event but I think this is a better course.

 

In comparison to the Copperhead course, Bay Hill is a little meh IMO

 

From just a golf course perspective there is no comparison this course is wayyyyyyy better. That tourney is built by the name/man/legend Mr. Palmer....

 

 

Rory is what happens when u go from middle class to really wealthy really quickly for some. lost that fire....

McIlroy is in a really bad spot. He’s in denial about his putting, and his lack of confidence is spreading to the rest of his game.

 

Should have gone with Callaway.

Tiger's radar data from the past 2 days

 

 

Oh man don't post that. Next thing you know we'll have a five page digression about how he's actually maxing out at 128 mph clubhead speed.

[hogans71]

other players lol. So who's thinking tiger goes low tom. 65-66 would put him likely nicely in the lead.

 

It's ok to watch and conceivably appreciate other players in the event- honest. TW won't take offense...

[nix]

Nicknames for stretches of hard holes is kind of lame, IMO.

 

Agree 100%. Amen's Corner is totally fine, and is the one and only exception to the rule.

 

All this Bear Jaw, Snake Trap, Mulligan's Alley stuff can get bent.

 

Although the dreaded Moose Knuckle at the Canadian open strikes fear into all who come near it.

It was sarcasm. But how do u really know he won't get jealous.... lol jk. Would love to see some GOAT sparring with JRose or PCasey, both looking solid....

Connors has been impressive so far in the second round. Many times a fairly unknown player has a good first round and follows it up with a bad one.

He's just keeping his head down and doing his thing. The third round I'm afraid will be a whole different ball game. There's a lot of firepower at the top of the board.

 

Dude is gonna shoot 77 tom, esp if paired with the GOAT. I really have nothing against him, I just think that the atmosphere is going to be surreal and hard to focus for someone trying to get their first PGA tour win....

 

How can he be paired with Tiger tomorrow? Pretty sure it's impossible, but he doesn't want Tiger to be in the group ahead of him either. Dealing with Tiger's crowds when he's in the group ahead might even be worse.

I'm assuming that 258 yard drive hit the trees on the left?

 

Ball speed is faster than it's been in a decade which is unbelievable.

Let me know if anyone can relate to this. I tell my wife I'm proud of Tiger (she knows I'm a big fan) and without skipping a beat she hits me with: #TeamElin

 

Lol.

Yeah, they won't play together. There are two guys who finished at -4 before Tiger and 2 guys who finished at -4 after Tiger. So Woods will play with either Snedeker or Palmer.

[jerebear21]

Tiger will go on early birdie binge and the final group will have the life suck out of them like yjs and ice man the last two days.

[wildcatden]

16 footer for par for Conners. Come back to papa at -4!!

The first flinch.

Slingshot..... engaged!!!

Disappointing for the Tampa fans that Spieth, McIlroy, and Stenson all missed the cut.

[Hankshank]

Disappointing for the Tampa fans that Spieth, McIlroy, and Stenson all missed the cut.

And who were Spieth and Stenson playing with...

[redfirebird08]

18 guys within 3 shots of the lead. Pretty jam-packed leaderboard.

No love for Speezy(JK).. Chickens out at Torrey, man up!

[the bishop]

I appreciate Gary Koch informing me that hitting out of the rough results in less spin and that grass grows throughout the day. Good to know.

Yes, it's shaping up to be a good weekend. And, I don't think the course will play any easier.

Awesome iron shot by Conners for the tap-in birdie. Seems to have settled down nicely after the messy double bogey earlier.
