Some days its worse than others but I am fighting my right arm straighting at impact causing me to hit off the heel. Does anyone know any drills or tips that help with this?

One thing that I found to help with this is using a nice easy tempo. The trick is to not swing hard and keep the right elbow close to the body at impact. Once that happens, your left arm will naturally rotate along with your right and your right arm will extend. Just take the follow through down your target line.

I like to go to 1/2 swing when I can't get good contact going. Hit about 20-30 at the range 1/2 swing then another 20-30 3/4 swing. Then when I feel confident I move into the full swing.

      Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.

      I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?

      The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous

      I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.

      Hatton hit 18 GIR.  That's incredible.   Rory's tee shot on #8 reminds me of a TV show, Get Smart, that I enjoyed watching as a kid.  The protagonist would often say "missed me by that much."  Rory missed avoiding the bunker by that much.
