Farmers Insurance Open 2022

“A lot of amazing storylines all throughout the year Frank on the PGA Tour and you look at those sponsor exemptions and you wonder, “Where do they come from?” at times and the two that they handed out this week to Johnson and Alford, they are justly due and they will help the game immensely”

I would be shocked if Spieth was in the top 100 in ball striking.  He is a lousy iron player.

[Paddy_2_Iron]

JT dialed in on the SC.  Wow!

[CaymanS]

This is one of the better fields for the Farmers.  I am a member of the Torrey Pines Men's Club and the locals love to play there.  I agree the courses themselves are no big deal, only as good as the piece of property the designers had to work with.  But the moment you open your car door in the parking lot, you can smell the ocean and you're happy to be there.  Obviously the views help.

What the hell kind of Mickey Mouse television contracts do the PGA have set up? Off air for day now?

I’ve said good a while now that I won’t pay for television, but….I got ESPN+ just for the golf.

I am pretty disappointed the Golf Channel cut away to show college golf.  WTH?!?!

As of right now he’s T5 granted the season is way way to early

They said back issues would hinder Harvey Penicks stable of players(kite and Crenshaw especially)

they said it about jack, miller, watson, weiskopf, Vijay, monty…all of them

 

Not saying niemann won’t have injuries…only that it’s a myth that a reverse c causes back issues…kite changed his swing…the others maintained their moves

Faldo - “This course is really hard.  They’ve Rahmbo’ed it”. 
 

37 scores 4 under or better. Granted several leaders off the North course, which they also supposedly toughened. 

[Forged4life]

Rickie Fowler who’s super popular and been struggling having a great round and they just keep showing deshampoo’s shots even though he’s beating him and in the same group. Seriously get off his jock

It’s been one year since Jim Nantz said “the optics aren’t good”. Love the Farmers.

Why GC made an early move to College golf is beyond my pay scale, but this one feels like the season is here. 
Better go and shovel more snow.

He’s #81 in strokes gained approach on datagolf. Not his best but not terrible…

He usually ranks higher in that category as well, 2:nd in 2017 I think it was, like 30-40 last year

JT has enough game to win any tournament.  Reminds me of DJ, wins every year just about.  

 

Big JT fan here so I want to say JT every week. Was getting very excited through 8 holes yesterday 😂

[MattyO1984]

I really enjoyed watching last night. Going back and forth between the two courses was good, seemed like we saw more of the North Course than we have in the past. That and less dead time watching paragliders was quite refreshing.

 

Here in the UK we seemed to go between the PGA Tour Live, Golf Channel and then back to PGA Tour Live. The coverage was not as horrible as it was at times the past few years. Although, still take the view that I simply cannot understand what anyone sees in the commentary abilities of Sir Nick Faldo 🤦🏻‍♂️

@MattyO1984

 

I got up this morning and watched the Dubai tourney.  Lots of really great players involved.  I was watching Morikawa's highlights, he def left some putts out there but still clearly in it.  Hoping he can represent America well and take home this trophy.  I personally hope he scales back a little on the PGA tour and plays more Euro / DP World events.  He's a fantastic ambassador.

I would like to see a break down of this stat excluding wedges and only irons.  It would climb like an F-18 Hornet.  He is below tour average with his irons.  

 

After reviewing this years numbers it looks like he is 215 in approach the green.  Not good.  (Did this just factor in his last round is that why is updated to a higher number from what you provided)???  

 

Here is what I am seeing for this  year.  

 

215th SG" Approach The Green

110th Proximity to the Hole

 

He does have 10th GIR's

Actually I did pay for NBC Sports Gold last year for the Players…so cool. No commentators.. Just golf sounds.

Ha, I actually enjoy an occ hang glider shot. Plus those down below of Blacks beach, where I used to surf.

Morikawa needs a putting coach.

In the U.S., an English accent alone is enough to to sound smarter than most of us.

Hahahahaha, the announcer called Koepka "Bruce" and Damron asked if Bryson slipped him $10. Good stuff.

 

Then Bruce blasted one 20+ yards past Berger and Homa. Such is life.
