Denny is relentless 

One of my favorite newer players, love his mechanics.

JS is on walkabout.  No idea what his thoughts are, if he even has any.

I don't know that Spieth has ever been accused of *not* having thoughts about his golf. 😂

Reminds me of the old financial commercial- we make doubles the old fashioned way - we earn them.

How is the clubhouse not OB?

 

I was hoping he'd climb onto the roof and give it the old college try : )

25 minute wait on the 18th.....come on boys.

[PedronNiall]

Rory falling back to his Debbie Downer body language. Yet to see anyone do anything of worth in any arena looking like that.

Don’t remember from earlier years, do they sometimes use a tee more forward on 17 to make players try to drive the green?

They move it up on the weekend. Today it was 291 hole

Aberg's driving head flying off as well! Looks like the adaptor screw actually snapped:

Titliest not even supplying it's staff with OEM adapters.  

 

 

Ps. I'm joking.

Sounds about right sadly. 

 

Bhatia is going to be a tough catch at this point with how the course is playing. Even if it somehow doesn't dry out anymore on the greens the wind will make going low enough to go really low difficult. Gotta be a little wild for him to go from missing half his cuts recently to leading wire to wire. 

 

Åberg needs to ask for WRX fittings and head bolts in the future. Guess he didn't know OEMs have a spec for those who hit our swing speeds and loading params.

Weren't there a lot of streams on this course? It all seems pretty dry...

Texas gonna Texas. Not much in the way of surface level water retention there with little rain and tons of wind. You could see how sere the area is currently during some of the drone shots.

In past years it seemed that some of those wayward shots today would have been in the water. They are playable this weekend...

Going for McCarthy tomorrow.

 

Get a win for the straight pea shooters who can roll the rock!

He needs to add on a few strokes today. I feel like -15 going into tomorrow and he'll have a good shot.

If Akshay is reading, I'm available for mental coaching at 3% of purse 🙂

[Ronnie Mundt]

Pulling for Akshay. Good for the Tour.

I would like to encourage Julia Johnson to shut her freaking mouth. 

[Rearviewmirror]

Any idea why we are getting so much PA Coody coverage? The guy is at -2...

Watched a few minutes yesterday and this pea shooter had 172mph ball speed.  Sign me up for that LOL

Definitely his to lose

[Ronnie Mundt]

I’m all for the Drive Chip and Putt, youth golf, growing the game blah blah blah but this young lady right now has a 9 minute putting routine.

 

This is absurd. I mean Arnie is rolling over in his grave. TODAY JUNIOR!

If you haven't been paired with one of these youths in a qualifier you are missing out on something.  Let me tell you.  Shot clock now

To be fair it was just the long putt that was bad. I know cause I timed the shorter one 😄

[Rearviewmirror]

Has anyone done a study yet on Aimpoint vs "traditional" putting (where you just, you know, use your eyeballs) to see if it is actually more effective? I read a study a while back where players actually putted worse when they knew what the exactly correct line was.
