We get it… you don’t like Spieth.  Jesus.

Actually I do like him, and root for him! I think that makes me critique his performance more. I'd love to see him win. But...

I have thought about this off and on the past two to three years.  We have the "no sixes" challenge (or, if your handicap is high enough, no sevens challenge).  My best round ever was my only no-sixes

he’s always looked like he’s had the jitters. It’s just his nature. I don’t think he over analyzes either. That honor goes to BD.

Tomorrow's golf should be great.  Louis Collin and Jordan.  I don't see all three of those falling off the pace, so it's probably one of those three.

I forgot the amazing angles afforded by all the cranes. Is my memory bad or is it I just don’t see many cranes at US events?

The split screen that shows the lie is great.

Wow, those UKBO winners since 2000 are an interesting infographic.  My second-least favorite of them is closer to my favorite in terms of how much I like than the least favorite is to the second-least favorite, by quite a bit.

The only crane I remember at a US event offhand involved a controversy with Ernie Els.  I can't quite picture a crane at a US event, even the ones I went to.  I'll keep an eye out in CY 2022 for them when I start attending again 🙂

Wrong word, I meant "infographic"

The Jon Thomson comparison picture reminds me of a picture I saw a few years ago.  It had Arnold Schwarzenegger standing between Andre the Giant and Wilt Chamberlain.  

Anyway, so I hear the scoring average today (so far) is 69.  So that's nice. 

Koepka on an early run.

Yesterday at this time, I was worried Morikawa was going to fall off.

Now he's tied for the lead with 14 holes to go in regulation.

Rahm with two monster shots on the par-5.  561 yard hole, 226 to go for his second, has a short eagle putt coming up.

Koepka posts a number.

TV announcers are saying that Louis hit "way too close" to his ball in the bunker.

Aren't you supposed to hit pretty close to your ball when it's in a bunker?

And it looks like he isn't digging his feet in.  I realize not everyone hits every shot the same, but I thought "dig your feet in" was a universal for greenside bunkers.  I could be way off.

No, you hit 1 or 2 inches behind the ball and not suppose to make contact. Luis hit the ball first which is a mistake.
