If Spieth’s putt was on they would be cruising instead of down 1.

Great afternoon session. That was some great entertainment! I actually found myself cheering for Brooks! So nice to see him actually get pumped! And I thoroughly enjoyed Poulter losing.

Agree. The combination of the format and the course was perfect. Forced the best players in the world come up with same amazing shots.

Should Brooks have gotten relief from that drainage ditch?

It looked like his through-swing / divot went right through it?

Yes.

After the fan behavior this week, I hope Wisconsin never gets another golf tournament.

So true. Cheering for Brooks and Bryson was tough. Also hard not to cheer for Hovland. I think he’s on track to be a great player.

I think the official made the right call from what I could see. He had a better angle than I did.

So what are the chances of a European comeback tomorrow? I’d say around 2%. Anyone think they have a better than 5% chance of coming back to win?

Sad but true, Rugby union is my first sports love followed close by Golf. Fans can be dicks everywhere in all sports … I’ve seen some great ball striking by both  teams, Collin and Bryson are my fav USA players and happy they’ve played well….

But his through swing and divot went right through the drainage ditch that he claimed was not in the way… it seems to me the official was proven wrong by what actually happened

From the replay I saw (and I am unable to find a clip) seemed to show his club traveling over the ditch carrying some of the grass and turf that the ball was resting in. Again, I rely on the two officials who both examined the lie and determined it not suitable for relief.

I can't think of an appropriate percentage but lets just say it is only a mathematical probability.

It smashed the far wall of the thing just like he said it would.

Not what I saw. I'm open to reviewing my opinion if you have video of the incident.

You weren't watching the television, then. It clearly went through the area he was talking about, and he went as far as to point it out after the fact.

I have it recorded, but I know what I saw, as I was paying a lot of attention to it at the time. So it's not worth the time to go back just so I can say "toldja so."

@Slim_Pivot saw the same thing, I think.

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
