They seem to be only following three groups for most part too.

Hopefully, it will become a bit less boring as we get to Sunday. I also think the announcing is atrocious. And, as @boogieliciouscommented, I'm also tired of the "ocean effect" and hearing how "the greens are firming up". On the other hand - maybe the announcers are as bored as some of us are with the current play (with the exception of Sam Burns who will probably blow it on Saturday).

Weather delay?? Are the balls moving on the greens?

Yes, if they mowed the greens this morning then the person who made that call should be taken to the woodshed.

Somebody got a little ‘ Oakmonted’ on the brain. Agree. Woodshed ‘em.

It doesn't look that windy.

I remember showing up to an Open Competition up from Galway at Connemmara where it was allegedly Gale Force 9.  I forced my way into the Pro Shop and asked, "The tournament is cancelled, right" and I hear behind me a petite women say, "What kindo man r ye....I played 18 and am going out again".  Standing was a challenge during gusts.

I remember the wind was so bad on the old course at ballybunion that a playing partner hit a popup into the wind on 18.  The ball went out 50-60 yards and the wind hit the ball, it landed behind us.  Our mouths were open.  The caddy did not miss a beat.  "That's nothing, when it really blows that one would have been in the water"  (add Irish Brogue and smell of liquor for full effect)

On a windy day in Ireland, our caddy said "usually thee putt would break to the right!
But with wind blowing the way it is, your guess is as good as mine ..."

I always loved playing in the very strong winds coming off the Great Lakes in spring and Fall. Easy money too if you are playing someone who can't hit a knockdown or get the concept of hitting irons with as little spin as possible. I have seen balls move on the green from wind, but what I saw on TV at Riviera was crazy, Guys ball ended up 10 yards off the green.........

Has DJ put on weight?

[altos]

Could be one of the most painful tournaments to watch, ever, on TV.  Burns is not slow, rather, constipated to excess.  When will they be put on the clock?  This sets an incredibly bad example to all players that slow play is necessary and required.  Pathetic.  Put them on the clock.

It’s from all those free Pimento Cheese Sandwiches he won at The Masters.

Germans have a word for that....schadenfreude.....pleasure seeing the failures of others, but I think particularly from the high and mighty.   I did not see DJ's shot being anything other than very difficult.  The rough was very juicy,  Lie was bad.  Some trees.  A crapshoot.  He is done
