What's up with this craziness???
 

Quote

The tee box on the seventh hole could be home to long waits. And players dodging incoming missiles from the sixth tee. The sixth green and seventh tee box are so close that one could literally putt a ball off the sixth green to the seventh tee box without making a shoulder turn.

“It’ll be interesting with a back left pin on 6, in case somebody just tugs it,” said four-time major winner and two-time PGA champion Brooks Koepka. “We’re right in the firing zone. It is what it is. I can’t do anything about it.

“It’s the way the golf course is set up.”

Don’t know if they have done this before, but pgatour.com is giving updates hole-by-hole on Tiger:

Tiger Woods defied reasonable expectations once again by competing 72 holes at last...

Sorry, I was not clear in my post.

US PGA :

Bryson DeChambeau - withdrawn (struggling with his Left wrist).

Brooks Koepka - 33/1

British Open - St Andrews :

Bryson DeChambeau - 22/1

Brooks Koepka - 16/1

However, trusting Bryson's left wrist is recovered, I'm backing Bryson to win at St Andrews.  His game is made for St Andrews.  With the Driver, he is as close a replica to Jack Nicklaus as any current professional.  Jack Nicklaus overpowered St Andrews twice - 1970 and 1978.  Bryson DeChambeau is probably better with the driver, than even 'The Bear.'

Also, John Daly over powered St Andrews to win in 1995.

A fit Bryson DeChambeau should win at St Andrews 2022.  

That makes more sense.

In fact, John Daly is currently leading the tournament at 2 under, with birdies on 1 and 5 and pars on the other holes, having played 6.  Admittedly very early in the day with many not even having teed off, but should make for an interesting round.  I don't think Daly can sustain this play over 72 holes, but who knows.

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Soft 500 golf ball

Daly at -2 after 6 holes. He still has a lot of speed in him, started the day by splitting the fairway at #1 with a 344 yard-drive.

Can't see how he can keep this up, but impressive start still. 

In the bag: Callaway Mavrik SZ 10,5 driver (X stiff), Cobra King 4 wood (Stiff, 2006 model), Callaway Mavrik irons 4 - P+A (stiff), Cobra King Pur wedges 52, 56 and 60 (stiff) and Odessey white steel putter.  Very happy with the set and the gapping.

If you are in any of these countries, it looks like you can stream it free. I wonder that it's officially stated like this is a wink wink to the more tech minded.

Spoiler

I set my VPN's location to India and am able to stream, the announcers are not ESPN+. If you search ESPN and PGA on Twitter, the comments are generally negative.

PGA 1st round early finishers :

Leader - Mcllroy - 65 for -5.

John Daly - 72 for +2.  3 birdies, 10 pars, 5 bogies.

Spieth - 72 for +2.

Woods - 74 for +4.

 

John Daly, 7 off the lead!  Hopefully he gets through the cut line tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing John Daly at St Andrews.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Rory win a major again. It’s been eight years since his last.

Yes, Rory fancies his chances at 'The British - St Andrews.'  He will have the US PGA as well, thank you very much!  Great round today.  Of course it is just the Masters he needs for the 'Grand Slam.'  He will win at Augusta at some point.  Did well there in 2022.  Very powerful chap with probably the best swing currently on the USPGA Tour.

Anyone know how much practice round tickets cost this year? Just curious. The cheapest no frills ticket.

Pity about Bryson withdrawing.  Hopefully he will be ready for US Open 16 - 19 June and British Open 14 - 17 July.  St Andrews will be a good fit for his game.  The English golf fans are keen to see Bryson.  22/1 with British bookmakers to win the St Andrews Open. 

Brooks Koepka, playing with Lowry and Scott, is 33/1 in UK to win the US PGA.  Could he do well?

The first time in a long time that Rory has gotten off to a good start in a major.  7 birdies and 2 bogeys to lead a major.  He has mostly done well on days 3 and 4 when he has been far behind.  His mindset seems to have improved and consistency is there in all facets of the game.  Looking forward to him increasing his major count

Lots of announcer speak about the type of sand in the bunkers and how the pros were "struggling" with it. That sand looked good to me but then I'm used to sand, this year, that's so wet it's more like clay.

Sorry that Tiger's in pain but I guess I'm not too surprised. I think he's damn lucky to be on a course at all.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
