JT with the big putt!

The driver is the concern though. I'd think it's unlikely he can continue to drive it like this over the 4 rounds and win.

Wind is blowing a little, how bad will it get?

Where the hell did someone get that nickname? 

The translation of his name, Thorbjorn,  is Thunder Bear.  Very talented Danish golfer that unfortunately had too many pre flight beverages along with Ambien or Xanax leading to a very embarrassing situation on a commercial flight.  He relieved himself in the aisle of the plane and was accused of groping a passenger but acquitted.

Horrible shot by JT. Unacceptable for a pro to leave more than an inch after they short side themselves.

I'd actually forgotten about that incident. Was a huge thread on here when it happened but I think it was relatively quiet when he returned after his suspension.

course is playing tough only 5 holes have a negative agg score

From the first groups at 730 until about 2 it was tough. Wind died and it’s like how it was yesterday afternoon. 
 

Looking at the radar, I’d assume it’ll pick up as the storm rolls through but not like how it was for the AM wave. We were playing 25/30 yards for shots that were dead into

He won in the UAE earlier this year and has a top 10.  Currently 10th on DP World rankings.  Keeps it low key after returning obviously.

[PedronNiall]

Some absolutely filthy shots being pulled off today. Wind is not playing, though. Anyone who makes the cut is still going to be in touch if they have a good weekend.

Let's go old guys

Now that we got Lucas Glover and JT in contention I am going to watch.

his scorecard is pretty flattering. He really served up some shots that were attracting flies. That one he dumped in the water on the par 3 made Wyndham’s on 17 last week look like a near miss.

I would love to see Streelman hold on to win.

 

A solid career which goes under the radar.

• 2 PGA Tour wins
• $26.5 million career earnings
• Career high of 36 on the OWGR
• 1 top 10 and 6 top 25 finishes in majors
• T2 at the 2013 Players
• Since 2008 finished in the top 100 of the FedEx Cup rankings except 1 year

AND, never lost his card.

Not much was decided in rounds 1  & 2. 20 guys at -4, -5, or -6.

Basically the whole field is still in it. 

 

Has a tournament winner ever gone off first on Saturday?

Its really Thor Bear (we have the same) but well Thor is our fighting God, producing the thunder storms with his hammer so Thunder Bear isnt that far off.

Got to pull for Badds....6 kids still on the books. ☺

That's it!.....Spieth and Finau miss the cut? I'm done. No big names, I'm not watching the tournament. If Rahm, Tiger, and Hatton are not there, is it really a tournament?

 

Of course, that's sarcasm and sounds ridiculous but I guess some casual fans feel this way.

 

In reality, it's a jammed-packed leaderboard with a lot of FedEx points and a Two year exemption on the line. There should be a dog fight over the weekend.

[PedronNiall]

Harman is the least expected MC. He was playing like cold poo, but certainly didn't see that coming after what he almost did a week ago. 

 

That is not the course to miss it off the tee or constantly miss greens. Dry out the surfaces a bit and you're getting into par is an exceptional score territory, especially with the wind up. 

 

If they get the projected weather no telling how things will shake out.

Does Cam Young finally get it done for W number 1 against a lesser field?

Great opportunity. I wouldn't mind if he pulls it off.

Just two shots off the lead, definitely a possibility.

When the bigger names miss the cut it means the competition is great.  I love seeing the guy I never knew about coming out of the pack and making something for themselves.

and with 1 shot he makes up for 2 bogeys and puts his name back in the hat

Stallings & Champ lurking? 

 

 

Me likey.

We need more people in the booth. Starting to look - and sound - like an NFL halftime show.
