Hovland splitting with his swing coach after hitting the ball as well as anyone has in years was odd at the time but especially odd now! Wonder what happened:

I am sure that Mayo and Hovland had just been working on the short game together as opposed to his full swing but nonetheless, given the strides that Hovland took last year and they way that he seemed to elevate his game, this year has become a strange one.

It's often happened to Rory and a few other players where you could be playing unbelievable golf in August/September these days but there are no major to capitalise on, and by the time April comes around it's a completely different scenario. Meanwhile for other players if you just hit a bit of form around now for a few months, you can really take advantage. One of the reasons I'm not the biggest fan of the condensed major schedule. Hovland was playing so well back then, but as we know ourselves, six months is a long time in golf.

Fitzpatrick to win.

So I guess Mr. October doesn’t work so well as a golf moniker?   😀🤓🏌🏼‍♀️

Not sure it's been mentioned, why is Dunlap going out alone? Why not have one more player in the field? 

 

EDIT: I see Matty wondered as well. -(previous page)

Matty is always on it.  
 

But he does have a 7 hour (mountain time)time advantage. 😀🤓🏌🏼‍♀️

Dunlap being beat down already.  Ouch.

[idrive]

Not going to make excuses for Nick but it would seem really awkward playing alone.

[bcjim]

He could run out of balls if he keeps this up.

Because they didn’t want to expand the field for an extra guy.

But the question now is, Why?  Doesn't make any sense to me.

Left on #3 is a watery grave - somewhat similar to #18 at Sawgrass. 

 

Once saw Sam Saunders shank one off the tee into the backyards on the right - with Arnold sitting in a cart watching.

Need a "Yikes" emoji for that post.  😁

I like Sam Burns this week.  He plays well at Bay Hill.   

Better with the big stick lately.  

 

 

[idrive]

Hughes - off the rocks and... next to the pin.  I think that's the "rather be lucky than good" thing.

[Ronnie Mundt]

Rose and Bradley as a pair is next level slow play. Imagine having to play behind these bozos.

[Hankshank]

Gonna be interesting to see what impression Bay Hill gives this year. That varies a little for me each year, what kind of TV experience the course provides. Traditionally, it's been a little on the low tone among the Florida Swing courses. I usually find PGA National and in the old days the Blue Monster more exciting.

Could not have possibly predicted this post.     Not a chance.

Does anyone else get annoyed with how often it’s brought up that some of these guys are “friends”? Like every damn broadcast they bring up:

 

- Cantlay and Xander are great friends, even went to Napa once to drink wine. WOW.

 

- Chris Kirk and Brendan Todd are buddies. Very close. Amazing stuff.

 

- Scottie and Sam Burns are each others favorites.

 

Don’t get me wrong, friends are great. But really who cares. These dudes are soft. Tiger wasn’t out there to make friends or hand out participation trophies. He was there to woop arses and win titles. Everyone is too friendly out there! Start talking smack to liven it up a bit, huh?

Nothing better than beating your friend.

Scottie kicking things off with that new putter nicely.

 

7ft up the hill and doesn’t come close to the hole 😂😂😂

He's running out of options - Aimpoint and/or the broom.

[clintwilli23]

 

Anyone know who this is?  Thot his Ping putter looked nice. 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Luke List with the drive that JUST barely hangs out of the water, forcing him to drop his shoes and play the shot with both feet wet. Puts it onto the green. Makes birdie.

 

I did that once. Except I paid off the miraculous second shot that made the green with a three-putt bogey instead 😭

Did you know that Spieth and JT have known each other since they were kids? They get on so well that Spieth was best man for Thomas at his wedding. 

[bscinstnct]
