Big field this week… but it's now two weeks in front of Augusta, so, that's to be expected.

I bet Spieth is psyched to be playing in his home state.

As always I'll be pulling for Paddy to play well, I believe he needs a win for a Masters invite :~(

I'm also cheering for Minnesota born Cameron Beckman who was narrowly beaten by Woody Austin at Sanderson Farms late last year. He could really use a win and San Antonio is now his hometown. Hope he's prepared.

Kind of surprised Rory didn't join this tournament after finishing 2nd last year.

While living in San Antonio years ago, it seemed like every weekend the local San Antonio golf radio show would be touting what Jimmy Walker was accomplishing on some tour -----now that he's hit the big time with a lot of recent success, I think other than winning a major, The Players or Fedex Tour Championship - Walker would want to win this one in front of your family/friends.

In case anyone is wondering what is going on...

That is a lot of fog.

Ughhhhh, come on Spieth, get it together. 5 over after 6. Started him in my fantasy team....

I just scrolled through the full play by play of his scorecard after 8 holes. Nearly every hole is the same. Decent off the tee. Just missing the green on approach. Leaving 4-10 ft for his up n down. Missing par putt. Ouch. +6 after 8.

so much for the Texas home field advantage people had been talking about ----maybe he put too much on winning in Texas.....

looks like they had some bad fog to start the day....

Edit: now +5.

Phil and Jordan both struggled today.  Phil had problems with his putter and irons today, though most of his putts were because he wasn't getting close to the hole with his approach shots.

Looking at the top of the leaderboard I wouldn't know if this was a PGA event or a Nationwide event. Good Lord. What's going on this year? I understand the parity, but this is taking it to a new extreme and I'm not so sure it's good for golf.

I know! When you see guys like Pat Perez on the leaderboard, something major is wrong! I hate that guy.

It's not looking good, I watched Phil mess up a greenside bunker shot that even I could make and it doesn't look like he'll make the cut.

Ya but did you see that big rock in front of the ball? It affected the way it came out.

I'm not worried about Phil, he'll be able to head out to Augusta now for some practice.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
