AK is my favorite player but hes not looking exactly sharp today. Wayward drives, sloppy layups, and two 3 putts already

Why does he keep dropping his clubs? Doing it once in a while on a terrible shot is OK, but for every shot that goes left? Come on. He's not focused. Like that last 3-putt. His par putt was simply a bad shot.

I'm wondering something. Next time this event is held at Congressional, will the 11th be a par-5, in honor of the host?

Easiest fairway to hit, hardest green to hit.

Tiger played in +5 for the week, tied for his worst hole for a week in a non-major.

So far Tiger is showing why is the #1 in the world and Anthony is not. Of course, nobody expected Mr. Mahan to go OFF!

The ink hadn't dried on the course record form yet, and it's been tied. Someone pointed out that a 62 today is a shot or two better than the 62 from Thursday.

The duel between Tiger and AK isn't quite my memory of the duel of Tiger and Rocco, but it's exciting nonetheless. Especially with a minimum winning score out there now.

well i thoroughly enjoyed that (despite wanting AK to tear it up), but thats big time convinced me into the tiger factor! it was exciting but i think that AK would have had a better go at it if he hadnt been in the same group as tiger, i mean he 3-putted 3 times today having not 3 putted in over 160 holes at one point earlier this week, thats what pressure does to you!

Another great example of how much Tiger has contributed to the helping people and kids with his charity work. If I heard right, he will donate all his price money to charity.

I wanted AK but how can you not love Tiger. He really went out of his way for the military in this event. Real human when he fist touched the private in the wheel chair on the way to the 18th. The military also got in free and they had their own tent with free food and drinks. A great way to honor our guys and his Dad.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

Funny, 10 years ago I didn't really care for Tiger. I think it was just a result of overkill and over exposure for so many years, it was never anything specific with him. I must say though, having watched him the past few years, being a husband, a father, losing his father and the dedication he has to his craft I have a lot of respect for him and he is one of the few athletes that I would feel comfortable pointing to and saying to my kid "Now that's how you should conduct yourself", not just as an athlete but as a man.

That said, I think it would be great if Tiger had a younger rival. It would be great for the fans, great for the tour, and I think in the end, great for Tiger's legacy. I hope it pans out, but then again we've seen many fall short of the challenge.

I think it would be a nice touch if the rival was a loose cannon type too - like the stories I've heard about Walter Hagan, a little crass, womanizer, who didn't always say the right things -

I doubt that type will ever emerge, because with all the sponsor money available a person would have to be a moron not to be to have a squeaky clean image - but it would be an awesome i've probably watched too many movies

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
