I was glad to see Casey in the mix again. Some reason I have always liked the golfer. Too bad he lost it today.

Same for me. Paul seems like a genuine good bloke.

Yeah he really does. Kinda reminds me of Kuchar always smiling and polite

I wonder if there has been an all-lefty final pairing at a PGA Tour event before Bubba and Langley here now.

What was the deal with Bubba's FW putt on 18?  I was on the phone and noticed they kept repeating the putt.  It looked like he touched the ball, but it only oscillated a tiny bit.

The club did touch the ball, but as there was no movement, there was no penalty. Jack said he had probably done the same thing 10,000 times in his career and only been penalized "once or twice ."

Don't want to take over this thread but just wanted to point out that Henrik Stenson and Victor Dubuisson are battling it out for the Nordea Masters on the golf channel right now. Victor one hole ahead of Stenson and up by one.

Henrik royally screwed up the Par 5 18th hole.

We will now have a 3 person play-off between Thongchai Jaidee, Victor Dubuisson, and Stephen Gallacher.

Thongchai Jaidee wins the Nordea Master with birdie on first play-off hole.

Nice analysis from Peter Kostis!

I was just gonna ask you guys what you thought. I couldn't see much difference in the hip turn between coach and Els though. Maybe I need to see that side by side again.

That little musical bit is cute. Help me Kostis!

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Pretty big difference IMO. Kostis was also right about kicking in the right knee and not being open enough at impact.

I defer to you. I think Els's black pants made it harder to see.

I agree it was tough to see Els' hip turn with the black pants, but the analysis was good! Exciting action going on today. Matsuyama and Scott are both playing great. Bubba is all over the place.

I love watching Adam and Hideki's swings. Absolutely perfect. Na was in prime position in the 18th fairway, and he fatted it. If he can get up-and-down for his par, it will be interesting to see whether 13-under will hold up against the other contenders.

Self penalties - He said he only "took a penalty" once or twice - or something like that.

Hopefully, with Jack's commentary to reference, people won't make a stink on this one.....

Na is in the clubhouse at 13-under. That means Hideki, Bubba, or Adam will need to shoot under par on the back nine to win it. Somebody must have told Chris Kirk that he could get into AQ position in the Ryder Cup standings with a high finish: he went on a huge three-hole run to get to 11-under and solo fifth.

    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
