Anything can happen, but I fully expect the two Aussies to dominate.

I was hoping Graeme and Rory could have been the Irish duo but cheers to Lowry for stepping up.

I didn't realize that Royal Melbourne was pulling back-to-back hosting duties, with the Australian Masters last week and now the World Cup. The commentators are saying the weather is much hotter, and the fairways and greens playing firmer, than last week; we'll see how the course holds up. If anything, it will give an indication of what Pinehurst will be like during the Opens next summer. Odd format; the countries aren't playing together.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

The greens are RIDICULOUSLY firm right now. Everyone is having trouble with getting approach shots close to the hole. Bugs look like a nuisance too.

Poor Adam Scott shoots a 9 on one hole...

They commentators were talking about the 1 to 11 all night last night and I couldn't figure out what the hell they were referencing too.

LOL

now I know.

That's hilariously crazy and sad :loco:

Well they haven't been dominating but they've taken the lead with Jason Day's amazing play. I think he'll cool down a little bit tonight and Adam Scott will carry some of the load to an Aussie win!

as of right now.

AUSTRALIA -11

USA -10

JAPAN - 4

DENMARK - 2

etc

And I was so excited about the USA's lead too. C'mon guys, finish the job. Didn't this tournament used to be over Thanksgiving weekend, or am I thinking of something else?

Not looking good for the mericans right now. Day and Scott are combined 16 under, while Matt and Kevin are 9 under. They have 8 holes to play..

Go USA

Kevin dropped a shot on 11, so now we have -16 to -8...meh...:(..

If only Scott could have back that 9 from Thursday ... And that story about the guy making 11 is even more surprising when you find out the dude was in a green side bunker in 2! "Obviously" this proves the short game is waaaay more important than the long game. ;)

What a great tournament on a fantastic course. It is nice to see a course that tests all of a golfers skills instead of the bomb and gouge fests that so many of our US PGA events have turned into.

I stayed up late to watch these last two days.  Great tournament.  Happy for Day's win - he's had a rough bit lately.

Lots of "coulda shoulda's" in this one.

too bad Streelman couldn't have held on for a couple days - US team was in contention once Kuch found his game (great play)

give Adam a bogie on Number 12 on day one and he wins - If he keeps up this great play for a long stretch, he's going to blast lefty and tiger out of the way.  Maybe my favorite player right now.

the Fanatics were fun, then kinda just there, then annoying, then really annoying - I still like them better than the lazy shouters though.  I think Day genuinely enjoyed that short group celebration after 18 with them.

    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
