And now Xander in the water on #16. This is turning out more exciting than I expected it to be.

And just like that Xander gives it back.

and his third goes to the patrons.  I can hear what Gary McCord would have said in my head.

I was typing what a tough cookie Xander is and then he puts it in the water!

And now he’s got a tough chip to get up and down for double bogey.

Xander pulling a Norman just killed the excitement. But...here we have it. No. Xander isn’t ready. He’s not knocking on any Major doors. Choker.

I think Xander will be thinking about that tee shot for the rest of his life the way that Arnold talked about a certain putt he still thought about his whole life.


So, in two consecutive holes, someone from the final pairing will make a six after going into the water on 16.

The one he missed on the 18th at the L.A. Open in 1959, leading to him getting a 12 instead of an 11 on that hole?

The door was open, he just didn’t step through.

Matsuyama in complete control of his own fate now.

Rose started walking after his putt on 18 to see how it broke for what he assumed would be the next putt.  Then it went in.  Good read!

Schaufele looks broken after that. Poor lad. Matsuyama still has to get his drive away, but he’s nearly home. Zalatoris must be praying right now

    • While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?

    • By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.
