2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational

McIlroy in at 6 under in the lead so far.

Here he is in shawts during a practice round.

I’m there tomorrow!

I haven't kept up with DeChambeau. Did he carry through with the hitting of the weights?

Well he's driving good and putting ok....but the wedges are downright ugly. I have no idea why he doesn't bag at least 1 club that is shorter than the rest. He clearly needs something else.

edit* As soon as I post this he darts one close. I was really talking about under 100 yards and the dart was outside of that.

There are a whole bunch of people in the one length irons who believe in the concept of two length irons.  Essentially, they advocate one longer length for the longer irons and a shorter length for the shorter irons.  Of course, it isn't quite as simple (you need to learn two swings as opposed to one swing, but it is a better compromise for both distance and accuracy than only one length for all clubs in my book

It seems like as long as he can put a 3/4 or full swing hes ok, and then it gets touch and go once he gets down to half swing. I don't know a lot about single length other than the gapping gets tighter due to club-head speed staying consistent compared to a normal set. I just think it would be weird playing chips and short pitches with something that feels that long. That being said, I bump and run quite a bit with 7 iron being about the longest I go unless I'm punching out from under something.

edit* Doesn't he have to have at least 2 swings as is because of driver?

Matt Every goes from 65 to 83.

McIlroy just went birdie, bogey, double bogey, birdie. I could do that.😎

Looked like a slight pull?

[Vinsk]

Beautiful weather today. Rory was off but finished nicely. Poor Matt Every...collosal flop.

[Buckeyebowman]

Well, he said earlier that he wasn't afraid to make the occasional double bogey out there. My guess is that he was very unafraid today!

[Vinsk]

Nice 81 Koepka. 

[MSDOGS1976]

This tournament playing like a major. Tight fairways with tall rough. Plus cool air today with some wind. The distance debate dies down with tough conditions.

[leftybutnotPM]

Go USA!!!

 

[ChrisP]

When was the last time you could say in a non-major tourney on the PGA Tour that only one American is under par.

[HOF19]

Man I was wondering if Rory could blow this tournament …..But did not think he could fall this bad THIS FAST !!!!!

[nevets88]

What is that black armband thing? Probably one of those health monitoring devices?

[nevets88]

Yeah, I noticed that, lol.
