Seems right that this tournament should start the return of fans to the course. The buzz for week was on PR and the USGA’s and R&A’s areas of interest. So, It’ll be nice to get back to live golf and of course all the WM commercials.

I’m rooting for Fowler and Schauffele this week.

I'll be rooting for Wolfe and will enjoy watching many others in the field. I'll be listening to Justin Thomas...  😬

I agree. Fowler...yeah I’ve really kinda forgotten about him. Aside from his Tour Championship win I just don’t get a lot from this guy. Just seems he’s not a four good round guy anymore.

I was a bit confused watching the coverage, because they were focusing on only two groups. Then I noticed that the title of the coverage is featured groups only and normal coverage starts later. Interesting, but works for me.  Fowler's SG Approach and Putting is awful and it's showing today.  Schauffele is tearing it up.

He used to be a very reliable borderline great putter. This ain’t good so far today.

I would suspect the is working on not laying the club off as he always has which is evidently not working yet.

Yeah who knows. But he was really never ‘great’. At least Spieth had a good run. I see Rickie fading off the charts completely.

Spieth a potential good story here. Stricker...not so much. Ok...he’s the most amazing guy out there and should be carried off the course. But slobbing all over him may not be the best for entertainment. He’s the most god-awful bore out there. Hey...I’m 51...but when one of these oldies plays well....just let it go...don’t get too carried away. There’s a lot of golf left. I hope I don’t have to watch Captain Snooze-Fest too much....

You're right.  Nice guy that Stricker.  But totally boring.  Wonder what he could do to get more attention... maybe too late.  He goes to work, punches the time clock, finishes his work, punches the time clock.

I could not hit a golf ball without a wrist hinge.  Somehow he's got it figured out.


And hey...how about Daniel Burger having the most painful to watch pre-putt routine....wow....just awful.

Me neither but saw it several times yesterday and today. So he does the basic set up...lines the ball...squats behind it....then he gets in position to make the putt....stands there about 10sec...then...psyche! He steps back....gets down and realigns the ball again.....

Nobody who takes too much time to line up a putt should ever win a tournament. Otherwise there will be copy-cats out there that we all have to suffer.

You're only 51? Good grief I have hemorrhoids older than you! 😀

Did you see Burns' 53 footer? That was pretty good and hey! My man Wolfe made the cut and is ONLY 9 back. Well, OK, he's 9 back but he's only 5 behind Koepka and Koepka's only 4 back...

I think he's doing this to avoid violating 10.2b(4) and 10.3b(3). Notice how he goes through his entire routine with his caddie in a position to check his alignment.  Caddie moves out, then he goes through the entire routine again, so that he meets the clarification of "if alignment help is given but the player backs away ..."

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that. 
    • Day 2: Speed training session
    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
