Brendon T just hit a drive at a 151 mph ball speed. How the hell does he compete on tour let alone win?

That seems like a low number for most Tour guys..probably was a mis-hit of some sort.

If you grouped Tiger with two random club pros, you still wouldn’t be able to put together a group using the rest of the field that could equal his group’s majors or PGA Tour wins totals.

Whoever named Lake Merced Golf Club was a bit generous with the truth.

No, I think he doesn't seem to hit faster than lower buck sixties ever. Driving distance and SG off tee is not impressive at all. Interestingly GIR SG not that great either (overall). But seems to get hot with FIRs and GIRs on weeks he does well. Guess some players are streaky.

It's just that he is been hovering on first page of leaderboards much more lately than I recall last few years. Interesting case in the era of bomb and gouge IMO. Good on him.

Like @GolfLug said, prolly not. I saw him hit one 156 ball speed a few holes later. It's the game he's able to play.

When you have to hit 7 iron or longer into all of the greens but your opponents are hitting flip wedges, full wedges, or knockdown short irons, you are bound to be streaky in results.

Exactly. There always has to be the short hitters based on the bell curve. The fact that he can still contend is impressive.

The bell curve does not apply to the extreme end of the data, and PGA touring pros are definitely at the extreme end of the data in driving distance.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I'm not talking about for all golf. I am talking within PGA touring pros, there is still a bell curve. For every Bryson there has to be the guy that doesn't have the distance.

I'm noticing that everybody is hitting their drivers a lot lower on 13 than the rest of the holes - which I'm guessing has something to do with the one tall tree overhanging the line off the right.  Cool to watch.

Every chunk of data has its own private bell curve.

Haotong Li with a great first nine despite a par on the par-5.  I mostly remember him as the guy who shot a 63 in a major the day after it would no longer tie the record for lowest round in a major.

Haotong Li in the clubhouse with a 65.  Other than a par on the par-5 fourth hole, he has nothing worse than a 4 on any hole today.  

Jason Day successfully completed the "no fives" challenge yesterday.

Hope he enjoys his moment in the sun. Koepka will have him already chased down within a couple hours. Have a feeling Brooks is going to put his foot on the gas today.

That looked like a pretty brutal mid-read for Tiger at 1.

Jason Day's first score higher than 4 on a hole came on his 27th hole, the par-4 9th, with a 5.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
