It's the, "Well that shouldn't have happened" look. He's a good kid though.

haha. so true, It usually is, look at the club, thinking "did I hit the wrong club"?? Then the ground, as if it will be looking at you and a laughing. Then the caddie. haha.

After his opening 84, I expected a thread titled..."Can a 4 hdcp beat Smylie?"

Yeah it should not, especially when you take 2 minutes to hit a shot, double check the air density, plumb bob the fairway, have the latest super stiff graphite wedge shafts, he should put it to 3 ft or less, every time.

Ah don’t need a thread for that. The answer is yes.

Having played the course they are on, it is not that hard. I am shocked any PGA pro would shoot that high. But, golf is both hard and fickle.

I've played it as well and agree that tee to green it is not that difficult of a course. The biggest challenge I had (and I've only played it once) were reading the greens. They say "everything breaks towards the Stratosphere" but even knowing that you will look at putts and say to yourself "there's no way that breaks that way (towards the Stratosphere)" and yet they do. I'd like to play it again to get another shot on the greens.

Apparently you don’t even have to be a pro to shoot low there. Amateur in the field is 4 under after the 1st round.

I mean, I couldn't compete, but i think on the right day I would beat 84 in the same conditions.

Smylie is lost

 

I've gone around there twice in events (almost at the tips) and was 74-75 ... half in the bag

[KRAMER1997]

What will it take Smylie to hang it up? Missing the cut by shooting +36? How TF do you go from winning on tour to not being able to break 80.

[DavePelz4]

All time favorite story from TPC Summerlin...this is with the 9's swapped.

 

Over the green on the then 18th hole and the ranger comes up to watch me play. The hole is on the front of the green and I have the slope to deal with between me and the hole. A chip, unless it caught the slope perfectly, might run off the front so I decided to flop it just short of the hole. In a miraculous moment of brilliance, the flop shot landed about 5 feet from the hole and rolled in.

 

The ranger exuberantly yelled, "Eagle, EAGLE!" I turned to him and disappointingly said, that was for an eight.

 

 

[Krt22]

Stadler in a Tin-Cup-esque moment, puts 3 into the drink on 17 to take a 9 .Follows that up with a bogey on 18 to join Smylie in the ranks of touring pros who can't break 80.

 

 

[buckeyefl]

Phil's driver sound like a sound effect from a broken 80s arcade game.

 

Just turned the TV on and I see that Phil is showing that weight loss/ fitness mean squat if you have bad technique. Or maybe he could stop trying to swing at 150% trying to get half a club closer to the hole.

[QuigleyDU]

Brooks to miss the cut. Seems like the best golfer in the world shouldn't miss a cut at an event like this....

Just like the player with the ","greatest short game" shouldn't miss so many shirt putts. It's an epidemic.

[Darth Putter]

[Yuck]

Kevin Na, 202 feet of putts today?

[Railroading13]

-5 to make the cut! Sheesh

I agree...in my prime at this course I hit 17 greens and shot ...74...couldnt make a thing...then lost at the crap tables...thx vegas.

[Creedo77]

Feel for Smylie, golf (under extra pressure that he's under) isnt fun when you dont know where the golf ball is going off the tee.

Make it two, because Chase is the only one to make the cut and is low Koepka for the week.

TPC Summerlin is my old home course. I love watching this tournament. My sources tell me that the course is playing unusually soft for this time of year due to recent rain. That is why the scores are even lower this year. Summerlin is the kind of course that will yield lots of birdies but you are always one bad swing from an eight.
