Lefty's hitting too many loose shots to win. The golf ball will look bigger than the hole for Barnes when he putts. Glover's face will start start turning purplr because lack of oxygen. Duval will finally make some putts and fire a 67 and become one of the best comeback stories ever!

276 (-4) will do it. For the heck of it, I'll call a three-way tie between Mickelson, Glover, and Tiger Woods (who honestly could've shot 65 the last two days had his putting been worth a damn). Then Glover wins the playoff.

What's in my bag:

Sure Phil's game today was a rollercoaster, but don't forget what he put up on the front 9 at Augusta.

Barnes lost it today. You could see it happen when he put his tee shot in the sand, had confusion with his provisional, and then put #2 in the weeds.

Still haven't got Glover figured out. We didn't hear much about him between Tiger, Phil, and Barnes's hat.

I think it's between those 3 though, right now. -7.

Ben Hogan is my swing coach.

Ricky Barnes is very, very fortunate. He hadn't hit a solid shot on the first two holes he played thus far in the 4th round. Now that play has suspended he has time to re-group. He doesn't have to sit around all day like most final pairings would since he he goes right out onto the course at 9 A.M. already knowing the shot he faces.

I think the winning score is -4. I feel as though Barnes will play his way into a playoff, but just barely. I say he shoots a 74 to get into the playoff with Glover, and Mickelson.

Glover wins in the playoff on Tuesday.

As much as I want to see Duval get back into it, I just don't think he will. He shoots a 72 in the fourth and final round.

Are they going to cut the greens in the morning? Is it gonna rain over night. If it doesn't rain and they cut the greens I think things will speed up and score it'll be between -6 and -7. I would really like to see some of Tiger's putts go in. I think Duval would be an awesome winner. What a turn around. I was just asking someone about him last week.

No, I think the pins and green speed will stay the same (unless it drys out, my point is they won't cut them I do not believe since the 4th round has already begun.) And no, it's not forecasted to rain overnight, so we should be good there. Possible showers staring around 3 P.M., but only 40% chances and nothing major. Should get all play in tomorrow, thankfully.

golf channel just made a good point ... I think if tiger can post 4 under... maybe even 5 under some how on his last 11 holes about an hour before glover/barnes finish ... that's going to be a tough pill to swollow for them. Going to be hard to look at the leader board as glover and barnes and see number 1 and number 2 sitting right there waiting for you to stumble into a playoff.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
