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.

-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.

    • Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….
    • The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill
    • Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.  
    • This is a long shot given how old this thread is, but I just picked up a Reeso VTX putter and I'm trying to adjust the lie, but it's not obvious how to do that. Aside from unscrewing the hosel from the putter head everything else looks fused together. Wondering if @PRWELLMAN @Yipper @discap have any info about adjusting the lie. Thanks for the help.
