I think Annika is better conditioned, mentally and physically, and will prevail. Hurst won't keep making as many putts as she has so far to stay in it.

I was very impressed by three people's rounds today: Wie, Hurst, and Prammanasudh. The last one of the three hit FIVE greens all day and took only 23 (I think) putts. Wow. Horrible play, but great short game.

And Wie didn't fare much better on the hitting greens thing, either, missing greens with wedges in her hand several times. Poor showing there, great with the putter. She can't get it all together.

-2 for Hurst speaks for itself.

First one for Hurst!

I feel that Hurst deserves this one. Sorenstam wins too much.

Going back to reality...I believe Hurst is more calm. Although Sorenstam has a tremendous amount of patience, Hurst seems wiser in my opinion.

GO HURST!!

Yeah, I like Sorenstam, but I may jump on the Hurst Train tomorrow. The announcers were getting on my nerves... as if Hurst was just a speed bump on Annika's path to reclaiming her third US Open.

When I have no vested interest in the race (read: "no money riding on it anymore because my horse Wie lost"), I tend to pull for the underdog, anyway.

Dear lord I hope Annie wins, watching Hurst play made me vomit in my mouth just a little bit. The woman can obviously play, but watching it isn't pretty.

I think Annika is going to take it. Like someone said earlier I dont think that Hurst is going to be making those putts that she was making yesterday, and if she keeps it in the rough like she did yesterday she will have a tough time. Look for Annika to win.

I'm going to go out on a limb (they're on 17) and go with Sorenstam. I know, I know. Call me crazy.

Hurst apparently equals speed bump. My bad.

A large bump at that...

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.

      Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.

      A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.

      Vintage PING Hoofer Lite - How to Adjust Straps?

      By Gregsfolly ·

      I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
