GOOO Tiger! 

Don't forget, Daly was willing to play without a cart, but not after being bitten by a spider.  I hope it wasn't a radioactive one, because I don't think John is ready for great power or great responsibility.

One less in the field.  Does that improve Tiger’s chance of making the cut?  :-D

I gotta agree. I’m sure I’d have a blast sitting at a Texas Hold’em table with Daly but as far as golf his gig is up for me.

Would love to see Tiger do well, but have a feeling this will be a battle to make the cut. No events since Pebble mixed with cold weather is not a good recipe for his success.

Have a feeling the winner won’t be one of the top favorites. Maybe a guy like Schauffele or Scott or a surprise like Pepperell. I would think Rory would do well but too much pressure may be on him to win.

I feel like Louis O is very underrated. He is not one to blow fields away but I like his chances here. 

P.S. Tiger is just drafting. Look out..😊

I'm surprised there is no love for Francesco Molinari. Being half Italian, he is one of my favorites. Plus his name sounds like a famous chef or a spaghetti sauce you could buy at Whole Foods, and it rhymes with Volare.

🎶

M-O-L-I-N-A-R-I! Oh Oh

M-O-L-I-N-A-R-I! Oh Oh Oh Oh

Come watch Molinari today.

He will win in the Molinari way.

🎶

His game is really steady and he's been in the hunt for each major recently.

I think the usual suspects will be there on Sunday.

It’s tough to defend (unless your name is Koepka) and he’s not coming in with the best of form like he was a year ago. I think he’ll play well but don’t think he’ll win.

i think if Rory avoids the pressure, given the conditions are supposed to be fairly calm next week, he could eat this course up. He’s played it a million times. I just question whether he tries too hard to win. That’s usually when you lose.

But at least that song is stuck in your head now, right? :-P

It will be tough, but past champions tend to rise to the occasion. I expect him to be in the mix. He won Bay Hill and finished 5th in the Masters and 16th in the US Open.

It got stuck in the Ryder Cup last year haha

Sleeper to watch out for: Richard MacIntyre. May actually play $5 on him.

The Open replaced Daly with Streelman.

Daly replaced the Open with Barbasol, where I assume he can ride and spiders are more benign.

It still feels weird that this is the last major of the season.

What's the deal with that anyway? I was talking to somebody on the course the other day about it. Does he think he's just going to show up after a long layoff and be in major championship form?

Looking forward to this one - we all have our favourite tournaments, but for me The Open remains the #1 tournament in the world.

Got a feeling that Adam Scott is going to claim the Claret Jug in a close run thing with John Rahm.

Like mentioned above, I just hope it’s not a birdie fest. Getting tired of seeing these guys get to 15 and 20-under every tournament. From the sounds of it, though, If there’s no wind, there will be good scores.

Fleetwood for the win! Tiger makes the cut, but in the midfield. Rahm, Rory and Rose in contention on sunday.

I hope Tiger makes the cut.  Great for the tournament if he does, but it's a big ask. Has he even played since the US Open??  I see lots of rough in his immediate future.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
