Huh? My question said that, twice. I'm just curious to see how Goydos went about tripling par.

Oh, my bad. I thought you were asking what his score was which made no sense to me since you said he got a 9 on it.

Anyway, not sure how he reacted. I've been watching it but they didn't show it.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

And the final round is in the books. And, to answer my question from earlier, if Watson had won, it would have been the first time that Palmer, Watson won in consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour. I didn't realize until after asking this question that Tom Watson turned pro the year after Arnold Palmer's last PGA Tour victory.

You weren't all wrong, however: on June 13, 1982, Arnie won the Marlboro Classic (later the Bank of America Championship, which is now defunct) on the Senior Tour; the next week, Watson chipped in on 17 at Pebble and won the US Open.

Too bad Bubba didn't get it done this week -- I was pulling for him. Also disappointed to see Tim Clark miss another short-ish putt on the 72nd hole (especially he was on my fantasy team this week).

What's in my bag:

It was one of those days for Tim and Bubba that both have come to know all too well. The two shot 65 and 66 today, respectively, and neither dropped a shot to par during the final round. Tim missed an easy putt that would have meant a playoff, but one can't say much bad about them...even though victory finished just beyond their grasp yet again.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Paul Goydos rocked an 80 with a 9 (!) on the par-3 fifth? Wow -- worst score of the day by five shots. Does anyone know what he did on hole 5?

I was at the Hope today going back and forth among the top 3 groups. Although I didn't see it personally, one of the Marshals at hole number 5 ( 205 yard par 3 that is all carry over water) told me that Goydos hit in into the lake THREE TIMES. Taking a 9 on a par three will hurt a bit.

Very exciting tournament...congrats to Bill Haas but I thought either Kuchar or Clark were going to win. Kuchar (-9 on the day) was on fire on the front 9 but the 3 putt from 70' on 18 did him in. Clark's (-7 today) decision to lay up on 18 wasn't a bad one imho...he stuck a wedge in close and usually makes that putt. Haas (-8 today) played very well down the stretch and deserved the win. Some people say that the field was not strong but it was a battle all day with Haas, Watson, Kuchar, and Clark...even Weir could have been there at the end save the double bogey. The gallery for Weir, Clark and Ogilvie was 3 to 4 times larger than the final group of Watson, Haas, and Prugh. The Canadian Snowbirds showed great support to their man Weir...they went wild when Weir eagled the par 5 6th hole. It was a beautiful day and a very competitive final round.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
