I’m sure many are, but they’re probably contractually obligated to not say so.

Strangely I feel happy for Brooks, as much as I think he’s a phony, douchebag, dial tone. Maybe happy is too positive a word, but I think major championships are more interesting when he’s playing well because of his sort of recent major domination. I believe he made his money grab LIV decision when he was at an injury low point and maybe thought his competitive career was over. I don’t want him to win though, or anyone from LIV.

Nice to see Jason Day in the mix. Kind of forgot he’d been playing well recently.

Rory and Tiger were bummers, had high hopes for both of them.

Rahm was unreal after the 4 putt double on the first. Scotty was also impressive, in spite of not putting well, and Hovland should wear that shirt again but with matching pants.

I’m hoping for some tougher conditions with bad weather predicted, but conflicted about that because bad weather hurts Tiger’s chances of making the cut.

Just got caught up on the rules violation stuff. I take back being excited to see him in the mix. Screw Brooks.

Maybe it helps them. Tiger is a bit of a mudder.

So how was that Brooks thing not enough for a penalty? What explanation did they give that got him out of it? It seems as cut and dry as it can be.

They adamantly denied it. That’s all that’s needed apparently.

Yea, all they need to do is say that he didn't ask what club Brooks hit. I guess with out other evidence, other than the caddie mouthing "Five", they couldn't give him a penalty?

I don't know why, but this reminded me of the dice scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Where Bootstrap Bill is called a liar. 

Yea, Brooks is that.

I hope so. I was thinking colder weather is not great for Tiger's body.

Yep. Since there's no absolute proof to the contrary…

Woodland or his caddie didn't have to ask. If Brooks (his caddie) offered it, it's still "giving" advice, so Brooks is on the hook.

As part of his "defense" Brooks said Gary didn't even know what club Brooks had hit when they were walking off the green, but if his caddie knew back in the fairway… so what? That's not proof of anything.

Jason Day has always been my dark horse (sort of). Always been a favorite of mine. 

I’m also sort of ok with Brooks doing well. I don’t agree with rules decision but I’m generally ok with him. I don’t like his overall mentality but I like the game.

Course looked like it played easy today. Not a lot of wind scheduled tomorrow, just rain. So not sure how much that’ll really effect things. Cold weather for Saturday certainly can.

Hoping for a wonderful Norman-isque collapse for Brooks. Elsewhere, DeChambeau made the course obsolete with his distance at +2. 😃

Tiger was a downer, but I didn’t expect much else. Hovland shooting -7 was fun to watch. He got a bit shaky on the back nine, relying on short game and made a few long putts, so I hope he is able to reign it in a bit.

The weather will certainly spice things up. From a humid 30 C yesterday to 11 C, rain and winds on Saturday. That’s a cold day on the course.

The leaderboard is already packed, with a Koepka and Rahm in form. Very impressive to come back from a four-putt double bogey and shoot -7 by Rahm.

Rahm’s bounce back from the four putt to -7 was impressive. Watching Hovland play was impressive. 
 

Speaking of which, Sam Bennett’s round was tremendous at -4 after 6 and finishing with 12  straight pars! All his drives seemed to be straight as arrows!

Ok I have to ask you this question. Why does Hovland talk to the ball in English? I want to hear some Norwegian swear words when things go awry!

Not up in the LIV stuff; Any chatter about LIV guys getting any bonus money from LIV for Masters Win or top 5 or anything?  Just wondering if they would be paying out any money for guys giving credibility to their league…

On one hand I could see it happening, on the the other, it’s not a league performance so why would they pay out anything

    • Wow! Do you know me? All of the above changed (new group, started weightlifting, family drama, started my own business) I got to 12 about 10 months ago and stopped lessons 4 months ago I just realized it has only been about the score (and taking notes of every shot) Yeah, a task. I dragged myself to the course to complete the 'task' I think I need a break followed by a round without scorecard, play alone and meet new people, and just enjoy the game. I have been on a relentless pursuit of an unrealistic score and handicap that I completely forgot the friends and fun part of the journey. Thanks for your comment.
    • Day 210: did mirror work while watching a movie. Working on earlier wrist hinge in the backswing. Seems like I need to feel it almost on the takeaway for it to work. 
    • Day 24 (14 Feb 25) - Played with the l Friday men’s group (only 7 of us today - temps in the low 40’s to start and N-NW winds gusting to 10-15 mph).  It was course management front and center type of day.  Had ample opportunities to work from some tough lies, etc.  Overall an okay round -  the bigger struggle was with the putter (several three putts and one four - ugggly offset by one terrific 60’ putt for birdie).  Spent some time after the round chipping on the practice green. 
    • Day 8; 2/14/2025 Had a lesson with Yoda today. ... He suggested I take up tennis. 😂
    • Day 7: 2/14/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Made the first 42 before hitting 2 gates in a row, then made 9 consecutive putts.    Followed with a Par 4 success speed training workout and hit 113 mph several times.
