The way the announcers were speaking, I'd say there were a number of mis-hits and people getting a little too aggressive, trying to cut down the distance on their 2nd shots.

That's what I was thinking too.  Zack Johnson went in and he never seems to make that mistake.

Hey guys, it's not really necessary (or desirable) at this point to rehash the whole "Tiger cheating...." issue here, again, in this thread.  We had a thread on that, sucked about forty other threads

Nice to see him smile. Hope we see a lot more of that this year.

Zack was definitely trying to do that because he was paired with DJ.  On most 2nd shots, Zack was 30 - 50 yards behind DJ and was getting frustrated.

"The best player ever to live when I was growing up wore black pants, a red shirt," Reed said. "I was growing up watching him. I always thought, `You know, it would be cool to wear black and red coming down on Sunday. Just happens to be that we both wear it on Sunday now." - Patrick Reed Ergh.....

Okay, THAT bothers me. "We both wear it now." Get bent. I'd be curious to see what the other players on tour have to say about this guy.. Count me in as a hater now.

LOL this guy definitely needs to hire a PR person...he must be a little slow in the head, for real. As annoying as he is, I'll be stoked he's on the Ryder Cup team if he's still playing this well.

That's true this guy might be made for the Ryder Cup. PS I'm not a hater, because we may have a new guy with a personality and not a PR honed talking head. And I'm waiting for the day when Reed and Woods are paired on the final twosome on Sunday. The Tiger fanatics will be foaming at the mouth, if they're not already. Two guys dressed in red and black going head to head, ego to ego. That will be something.

You'd think Zach would be used to being first to hit from the fairway by now. It's not like he's spent the last ten years paired with Fred Funk and Corey Pavin.

Good point, but there was one hole where they were pretty far apart and when Zach saw what club DJ was using, Miller commented that Zach said "You've got to be kidding me".

Good chance Reed poops his TW Underoos in that scenario. Kudos on the win but nobody really put much pressure on him in the final round and back nine and he did start to hit some pretty sketchy tee shots even without a "Tiger" breathing down his neck. No knocking his talent, he beat the field but it's not like he buried the competition.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

If nobody put pressure on you for the entire final round, isn't that kind of the definition of "burying the competition?"

I wouldn't call a 1 shot margin burying the competition, no. He shot even par and got the job done. Like I said, kudos, but let's not get carried away.

Well, more like 1 1/2 seeing as how he basically "intentionally" bogied 18. But let me ask you this: what's the difference between playing well to the point that you afford yourself the luxury of making a couple of bogeys on the final few holes vs. if you get sloppy early, allow people to catch you, then make a birdie on one of the last holes to win? Is it really any different? Either way, it's a win. Dude beat the strongest field of the year and cruised for about the entire final round. I'm not getting "carried away" here, but he deserves some props.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
