Figured I'd start up this thread for the week's big tournament.

I have a question to kick things off. Does anybody know how many spots ahead of Tiger Paddy needs to finish to win the Cup? He's ranked number 6 in the standings so he won't win it automatically if he wins the tournament but he should have a good shot at it.

I'm guessing by just being Phil. Although, I'm fairly surprised it is on a Thursday and not a Sunday....

I'd probably put money on a 4 putt.

So, I was wrong. Here's how it really went down:

Good drive, 2nd shot to greenside bunker, fried-egg lie skulls it out of trap over the green, hacks it out back over the green into same bunker, leaves 5th shot in bunker, finally hit 6th shot out of bunker. 2 putt. Oh Phil....

Paddy can win the cup if he wins and Tiger finishes anything other than solo second.

I'm not sure about scenarios that involve someone winning and a third party (not the winner nor Tiger) taking the cup.

I heard someone on the way into the office this morning say that Tiger was giving O'hair putting tips this week? What?

Yup...the video was on Golf Central this morning. What a guy!

I think he told him to hit extra hard and if it's inside the leather, picking up is OK.

Like Shindig said.

I picked Paddy to win, but Tiger needs a really bad round for him to do it I think. As I write this they're tied at -3. I'm sticking with Paddy though.

That's one of the nice things about professional golf. Yes, they want to beat one another, but they're still friends off the course. So, Tiger will help his friends - look, for example, at how much Mark O'Meara benefited back in '98. You'd never see Randy Moss and Wes Welker hosting seminars for the Jets on how to make touchdowns.

Cink just hit 2 balls OB from the Tee. That will end his run for the top today!

I caught that. Then he STILL hit driver on his 3rd tee shot and also went left toward the fence! I would've bet dinner that the 2nd provisional would've been right.

Anybody know how Phil got an 8 on the par 4 14th?

I have this from my wife over breakfast. She read it in the local rag and I didn't have time to. She said he was in a greenside bunker after his second shot - not bad. He then hit out clear through the green into rough. Then he messed up that shot and ended up in a bunker again (same one?), then took two shots to get out of that bunker and onto the green. He then 2-putted for the 8.

oy-veey! This may not be exactly right but probably captures the essence of it.

Saw it on TV yesterday - he looked like a 30 handicapper. I have to say - he's a disaster. I doubt he wins anymore majors. He's quickly coming up on 40, he doesn't take good care of himself (he's a slob) and he's never been able to harness his swing or his game for long periods of time. He misses more 3 foot putts than anyone in history. He's mentally (and physically) soft.

Which is a joke. Harrington played like a 6 handicapper the first 6 months of the season.

Dayum , that's kind of harsh, ain't it? The guy's had at least 5 top ten finishes - including 2 wins - this year and for a great deal of the summer has been dealing with a lot at home.

... And I'm not really a Mickelson fan.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
