USGA needs to Cantlay proof this course the next 3 days.

So a shot clock?

Taken from another sub-forum. Unpopular golf opinions:

Patrick doesn’t bother me in the least 🤷🏼‍♂️

[jdl]

JW showing off on "Live From"! Finally hitting some quality shots.

[bcjim]

Isn't that clubhouse awfully close to the green for the daily hackers sending 3-woods up there?

[NoTalentLefty]

Wow! Great course and great leader board. 

[Archimedes65]

DJ’s game looks 150 million miles away…

[farmer]

Apparently, the course can be played, despite all the howls of outrage.

[Oostiesalbacore]

Big if true

BD hit a 370 yard drive on 8

 

50 yards past the next nearest drive!

I don’t typically make predictions, but feel he will finish in the + column today.

Thanks jdl. Appreciate that. I will lay my head on my pillow in shame tonight and pray I can still get a good nights sleep 😊

 

*for context, Rory was the player I was referring too.

So much talent. Was hoping he put together a good week.

I mean, he shot a 65 so… 🤷🏼‍♂️

More people should try hitting the ball closer to the pin. Seems like a good approach if you catch my drift

Eh Rory will fall apart at least that's what I'm telling myself because I just can't stand him anymore, lol.

Right there with you. Incredible swing and talent. Just don’t need to see him anymore.

Pendulum swings. Remember, all that chatter always ended with.. “Nobody can putt like that forever.” 

Wasn’t he also draining 20+ footers at a ridiculous rate? 

[Archimedes65]

I really don’t get all the Cantlay hate.  And I’m in favor of executing slow players on any course I’m playing.

I'm going to give this strategy a shot when I play Saturday morning. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

[Oostiesalbacore]

I have a theory that Rory and Mrs. Rory probably tangled over his performance. She’s say “Rory darling why did you hit driver on 13?” or “My dear Rors was that choice of wedge really the right one?” as wives as known to do but from a place of love and concern but Rory took it wrong since she’s not his caddie. 
 

So they break up for a bit. He gets some strange for a while and it occurs to him that something is lacking in his life…

 

They get back together and now he listens to his wife. Maybe she was on to something with those shot choices. Perhaps she’ll be on the bag by the time we get to the Open (the British one) and he laps the field with wife energy. 
 

No of course my wife didn’t make me post this I swear

[Greg_B]

So even though I know it’s a ticket to disappointment, I’m hoping Rory shoots a 67 tomorrow and that BDC takes a 74.

Many dislike him, but I am a big fan and love when he did that at Bay Hill. That photo and moment just oozes pure joy. He is just a big kid who loves the sport.

So simple even a caveman can do it.  I mean why didn't I think of this every time I tee it up?  Eureka!

[MtlJeff]

this is everything i wanted from day 1

 

Rory and Cantlay (!) tied for lead  = Good

 

Bryson in Mix = Good

 

Ludvig in mix = Good

 

Corey Connors (Canadian!) in mix = Good

 

Sergio in mix (MTlJeff favorite) = Good

 

Brooks Koepka not out of it = 2 male thongs up!

 

As always, somehow Lucas Glover or Stewart Cink will ruin this

 

Someone please have either of these men killed on sight.

I guess Rory’s been giving the other guys a break for the last 10 years.  🤣

Lol. He's won 20 pga tournaments in 20 years including 2 of his majors.

So yeah he's been giving them all a real break.

The standards for Rory have always been inhumanly high.

And if he didn't have some kind of head trip every so often, he would have won 20 more...

With an 8° 7 wood?

[stinger_gc]

Tool man winning would be the worst case scenario and could potentially set the game back 15 years.

He must have hit a sprinkler head or something.

On 8:

BDC 174/2490

Rory  186/1432  (hit sandy area it looks like, limiting roll)

 

But I'm not sure any launch condition at 174/2490 would yield a 370yd drive without some "help".

Unpopular golf opinion. BK doesn’t have the glutes to pull off the thong 🤷🏼‍♂️
