One of the best weeks of the year! 

Rooting for Rory as well, but I'm also bracing for the sad letdown. He's had a great season to this point tho, so maybe this is finally it.

 

Pretty optimal conditions right now. 67F with 10mph wind.

Rose heard your call.

I’d be happy with Viktor or Rory. Preferably not a previous winner, but most important is some excitement and multiple players in contention.

I just realized we’ll be watching Garcia, Reed etc. for decades to come. What fun.

Why if you're just going to wait next? Are they behind? Rounds took over five hours yesterday.

Announcing;  it bugs me when they ask “Are you proud of yourself?”  “Are you proud of the way you played?”  “Are you proud of this or that?”  In what other sport do the announcers-interviewers ask this annoying question?

And then the golfers have to answer… “I was really proud of myself when.. yada yada"

Tyrell Hatton, 16th hole;  Following his reaction to his tee shot, after his first putt I thought his head was going to explode.  He’s kinda entertaining that way, I think he’s the top contender for ‘most likely to explode'

Rich Hunt has as usual (since 2013) predicted the 20 players most likely to win based mostly on data. Here's the state of things after two rounds. "Top 10" means it's his personal predition of the 10 mostlikely to win of those 20. Rose was filtered out based on lack of distance off the tee, but with his 300 average he's just over the tour average and longer than several other players that made the top 20 shortlist (Lowry, Hovland, Cantlay +), so I don't understand how that works. Maybe certain metrics overrule other metrics?

    • Just some notes Putting - more straight back and close the face through impact. I got a bit too inside, lots of block putts right or pushing the club out and heeling putts. Especially on longer putts. Pitching - pretty decent. Just working on distance control and different backswing lengths. Redeveloping the touch.  Also trying to no flip the club inside since that is my full swing pattern. Though, I seem to be able to bracket the center of the clubface, heel and toe strikes. 
    • jeezus, whatever hole you think I’ve dug, you appear to be right in there with me. Take it easy man, I’m not mad, I’m not throwing shade, I’m just enjoying Rory’s performance, and speculating on what the future may hold.  I agree with you, he’s one of the best of all time, certainly in the modern era.

    • Paraphrasing an old joke - what do you call the worst player to ever win a major championship?  A major champion  
    • Dude, generally speaking… when you find yourself in a hole (especially of your own making, stop digging). FFS. Ha ha ha. Guess what? Nobody else survived. What he did survive was the many, many top-ten or top-five finishes he's had in majors in the 11 years since his last one. That he survived those to earn one of the longest gaps between major wins is something. But you're throwing shade. What a crock. Of course it is! It's been his main goal for the last 14 years. He's poured a lot of himself into it, not only that week or over the 73 holes, but the previous 14 years. But he didn't. Jeezus. What did everyone else do? Oh, they actually gave it away. Nope. The demons, ha ha ha. Are you sure it's not because he's so "jacked"? Please. Assholes might take the conversation there. Like others have already said to you, he has the most majors of active players not named Tiger or Phil and he just did something that has been done once in the last 59 years. He's, for me, a top ten golfer of all time. But even though your prediction was proven wrong not three days after you made it, foolishly, you're doubling down on the shade. Just stop, man.
