Is it just me, or does the rough (er, I mean second cut 🙄) seem longer/deeper than usual?

Jon Rahm just hit second shot on #8, a wood that barely got off the ground, hooked into the trees, tried to punch out and hit a tree and now the ball is in further trouble.  I will probably have something similar happen next time I play, so that sequence is going into my memory box for encouragement as needed.

Same with Tiger's putt/chip that barely got on the green on #13.

I am oddly rooting for DJ to close this thing out here. He's been so good for so long. He simply doesn't feel like a one-time major champion to me and this would be a much deserved feather in his cap. What a talent he is. Freak among freaks.

Im just made a birdie at 11 of which Ben Hogan would have approved, by chipping in from right of the green.

IIRC, Hogan said that wasn't a green to go for in regulation.  Of course, things were different then, both in capability and understanding.

I don’t mind DJ winning. He’s been one of the best for a few years now and has had some chances slip away in the final round.

Him or Justin Thomas is fine, now that Tiger seems to be out of it.

He's not a one time major winner in my book

In my book, he won at Whistling Straights. 

Anyways, dude is exuding huge BDE and I hope he walks away with it tomorrow.

So you have him not only not breaching the rules on the 18th, but also winning the resulting three-man playoff?

Lol, I'll go as far as to say he should've won there. Crazy he also has five additional seconds in majors as well.

I was just looking at the 2019 leaderboard, and boy, it's a bit hard not to be a tad disappointed with the names at the top this year....

What does DJ have to shoot tomorrow to win? 70? Hard to see his play today and think that he’ll struggle to do that. But, it’s golf. And DJ. Who knows.

He was unlucky, but made a mistake. It’ll be a huge year if he does win, and in 2020 it’ll be the first time a positive test for DJ didn’t fall him foul of the tour. 
I hope he wins and par might even do it but if he breaks 70 then no one will catch him.

DJ hit 16 greens in the 3rd round and 14/14 fairways. That’s a recipe for stress free golf for sure.

Tiger said it was playing like a “3rd cut” in his post round.😀

It was a low-event round.  Not a lot of need for par saves going on.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
