Just my 2 cents....I think we've beaten the "Lift, Clean & Place" vs. "Lift, Clean & Cheat" horse to death. Can we move on? Or at least move it to its own thread and get it out of the Fed

Hoping Rory is ok tbh but im wanting Fitzpatrick to take this. Hes not had an amazing year but hes quickly becoming one of my favorites. 

I know most dont seem keen on the starting offset but considering Rory and Scottie didnt have a great round one I think it could make for an interesting weekend.

Not going to comment on easy/hard i could have a tube straight to the hole and still shoot +50

Fitzy is definitely one of my favorites, but Morikawa is starting to really play well as is Hovland. I hope Rory is okay too.

-5

-1 LOL

If Scottie gets his putting squared away I think we will see something we haven't seen in a while and that's a true dominating player. He's finished in the top 5 for how long now and with not so good putting.  I think it was like -2. something in strokes gained putting. That Gomer Pyle looking kid is only 27 and has won what 21 million dollars this year. Collin has given proof that it's anyone's for the taking. I had it in my mind that -4 would be about as far back as you could be to have a good chance. Great first round. Good to see Tommy Fleetwood way down the leaderboard. Hoping high shoulders falls back.

They should tee off earlier to beat the heat. I know they have a TV window, but flex it, tape delay a few hours, etc. Tee times span from 11:26 am to 2:00 pm EST. Which means they play in the hottest part of the day, ending around 6:00 pm. Back it up 3 or 4 hours. The West coast might bark, but oh well. 
 

Commentators were implying that Scheffler was having issues with the heat. Odd. A Texan having trouble with the heat and his playing partner from Norway isn’t. No way.

No, im Tige, never  mind. Match play would  make this so much better. They must  have  picked the  3 easiest  kiddie  courses they could find  for this  joke. Playoffs should  be harder than the reg season and force  players to make  difficult  shots.

The players are obviously good, but the courses are not particularly interesting, even if we ignore the scores. Very typical PGAT parkland courses. I like the holes with water and some extra elements, but mostly it’s grass and scattered trees. A lot of the holes this week are almost dead straight.

I would love them to adjust the timing it ran from 5pm-11pm for me in the UK which is peak family time and none of them want golf on the tv. I can manage an hour or two at the beginning and catch the last hour but the rest is catchup.

If they shift it earlier i can watch in peace whilst i work in an empty house

Can still curve it there, but the pouty Spaniard would be in trouble.

He has a great head for golf. That’s been my impression since watching him win the US Amateur.

I didn’t need this weather delay. The later tee times already pushed the finish to 1AM and now it’ll be even later. I think I’ll head to bed. Maybe I can avoid spoilers and watch it tomorrow morning.

Barring a total collapse by Hovland the cup is his.  I do not see Schauffele gaining 5 strokes in 10 holes.

Jim Nance is trying to downplay it, but it’s 18 frickin’ million dollars for the winner. Geez. That’s a lot of money.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
