Uh oh, he has a par.

He sucks. Only -7 through 7. 49 watch is over.

 

Now the Chase54 watch is on. Brought to you by Chase54 and Annika Sorenstam.

Collin Morikawa odds has gone from +1800 to +1200. Does this mean many people are picking him to win?

 

Yep; books adjust lines by betting action. They're not in the business of losing money 😂

 

Following the dotcom bust in the early 00s, I moved to Vegas for the first time and wound up working for an offshore sports betting spot. Built some of the OG platforms. Now, we have places like DK with a market cap of $20BB. Knew I shoulda stayed in that business.

Scott indicated Titleist engineers took a different tack: They made CAD (computer-aided design) copies of his beloved 680s and CNC-machined what he called, “basically the same clubs.”

I’d hang those and Justin’s new irons on the wall as art 😍 Titleist definitely gets blades right.

I was poking fun at @PHILsThemannnn misspelling of desert.  He meant to say there would be a "desert shooutout" given that the course is in Las Vegas (a desert).  However, he wrote "dessert shootout" hence a competition amongst desserts (cakes, candies, pies, etc...).  One of those frequent typos or misspelling that makes English such a "fun" language to deal with for both native and non-native speakers alike.

I have to stop and think all the time, now is it lose or is it loose, words like that. But I guess thats the same for people all over the place. People that try to learn our uncouth language makes those cute little mistakes too. I guess, having seen like 2000 american films and TV series and working multinational for a long time should teach you something, though.

 Course looks easy AF. If a golfwrx member was in the field they'd shoot a 63 or 64 easy

613 sof this week and 68 pts for the winner. Stronger field then Memorial and the Genesis Invitational.

[the bishop]

Lol.  Drunk cameraman is drunk.  Nice job finding Louie's ball in the bunker there drunky.

[TiScape]

Drivable par 4 12th is a fun watch today. 
 

Brooks with the 185 mph ball speed. Impressive

Rickie was -6 today, 66. 
 

I think the longest putt he made was 9’ 7”.

 

According to the stats on pgatour.com he LOST 1.066 strokes on the green today.

 

He missed an eagle putt from 13’ 10”, and birdie putts from 15’ 8”, 11’, 10’ 3”, and 4’ 5”…

 

I’m pretty sure there are not many 66s where you lose strokes on the green.  

 

Good to see his tee-to-green game working!  

 

 

[stinger_gc]

Is the winning score hitting -30 this week?

Regardless of the leaderboard. Going against NCAA and NFL football on the weekends has to be a real ratings killer. But yeah, a weak leaderboard definitely doesn’t help. 

[NevinW]

As I predicted, a birdiefest.  This course has a very similar problem as TPC Summerlin.  If there is no wind the scores will be really low.  Things got considerably harder yesterday in the afternoon when the wind came up slightly.  If you set up the course harder and the wind really comes up, it becomes almost impossible.  Putting gets much harder, too.  I played in the Pro-Am one year at TPC when the wind really came up and the average pro score was 78.  My pro hit driver to one of the par 3's.  That par 3 #11 at the Summit (where Spieth, holed the pitch shot for 2) gets substantially more difficult when there is a 30 mph wind coming from left to right and the only way to hit the green is to hang it out over the water.  There is a reason they play these tournaments in October in Las Vegas.  Best weather and least wind.

That's what makes the WRX customer experience different (and better) regardless of the golf or dessert course.

Keith Mitchell is on fire, -16 after 27 holes.

[ChipStrokes]

DJ just came damn close to an albatross from 283 out. 

 

hit dead center on the flagstick

KMitchell been eating his Wheaties 

 

He -6 through 9. 2 more guys with 31s at the turn.

Although you have to question why he has won only once in 4 years. Will he be able to hold the lead or just fade away on the weekend. +7.5 stroke gained on putting after 27 holes is insane and hard to maintain.

[Christosterone]

Go NIEMANN!!

 

hope he’s in the mix on the weekend

Of course Rickie buries a 75 footer today...

Golf is so ridiculous sometimes.
