The Travelers - 2021

Bubba is playing well and then this happened ...

It’s not amazing that he “checked his swing.” That’s what everyone does when the head comes off.

So much energy and stuff is bled off. Fast.

Do you know how far the drive went? Was he able to get it fixed for the next hole?

295. He got a replacement two holes later.

Watson's pink driver head snapped at impact. Watson was able to not only control his swing and put his ball into the fairway, but also hit it 295 yards and he made birdie on the hole, his 11th of the day.

Could something be brewing here?

"Nobody has ever been hit by it, and luckily DJ [playing competitor Dustin Johnson] was just out of the way and it didn't reach the crowd, so nobody got hurt, hit.
If I was going to hit anybody I was hoping it would be Brooks [Koepka]. But I missed him, though. Not that good of an aimer," Watson said.

With Bubba? Feels unlikely.

I thought the announcing was particularly boring and the "featured" groups were not what I'd have chosen, either. In fact, featured groups is only just above watching featured holes. I'd much rather watch a few strokes from all the field.

The announcers seemed really dense with comments such as, when someone missed a putt, "Oh, that'll make him sorry." Yeah, no kidding.

It's smokin' hot here in the PNW making golf and yard work not too desirable so I'm sure I'll be watching today, too, but I hope it gets more exciting than it is right now, for me (though I did like watching BDC miss those putts!).

C'mon Bubba. Be great if he won it again.

4th playoff hole coming up. I’m rooting for the young guy. 

[Zippo]

5th playoff hole! C’mon puppy!

[Zippo]

On to the 6th…

[Zippo]

And the 7th!

Wanted to see Kramer win…but a damn good play off for an otherwise mundane tournament.

Yeah I did too, especially since Harris has won before. I wanted to see Kramer open his big bottle of wine.

Agree completely. I do hope the young fellow spends more time thinking of what he did right than what he did wrong. And congrats to English.

interesting take, Travelers is one of the best non-major tournaments every year.
