I think so too, but I don't think that is affecting his play. He just needs to get his head together. But as far as equipement impact I would think the ball would be the only thing to really force him to make adjustments. A high-end MB is a high-end MB and I'm sure Nike crafted his new irons to be indistinguishable from his old ones.

So who will be the winner of our bracket challenge if Kuchar wins? or Mahan wins?

... What kind of shoes is mahan wearing? Anybody know? They look like old school running sneakers.

Footjoys?

Footjoy M Project Spikeless?

Congratulations Matt.

I beat eight people! Woo! 

I took 5th place, not bad for guessing!

I think I took 6th, and was this close to winning.  I jinxed Poulter this morning.

Good win for Kutchar, but hoped for Mahan......as for McIlroy, he has to work out some swing problems, yes I think the new equipment is contributing but he also isn't swinging well. 

Is it just me?  or do the "get in the hole" spectators really ruin watching this stuff.  I realize that to be a golf fan you have to be a bit off normal, but are these guys just completely out to lunch?  I can't imagine anything more obnoxious to the players and the other fans than these dumbasses in the crowd.  (the exception?  that one tournament had a hole that encouraged a lot of fan noise - that was fun as it was so big, you just didn't hear the individual *******s)

can anyone explain the mentality?  any of you ever at an event and standing near "that guy"  or the whistler, or the one that throws out that same scream on every single shot, putt, drive?

certainly a couple hundred are doing just fine and enjoying the event - it only takes that one guy in the crowd

golf certainly does appeal to the obsessive - but what happened to just one or two clowns with a rainbow wig quietly enjoying the show and applauding when they were impressed?

BTW guys, Michael C. Hepp won the balls. He tied David in FL and got the tiebreaker right.

Anybody else notice the Titleist winter gloves Kuchar was wearing yesterday? During the first round, "Titleist" was very clear, white copy on black gloves. In the second round the "Titleist" was blacked out. It take it Bridgestone was not pleased.
