Check out Y.E. Yang's great performance in defending his title. He's only 14 shots and 138 spots off the lead after Day 1! If he can beat Tiger, he can beat 138 hackers ...

I saw Yang's 79.

Camilo is on FIRE ever since missing the putt in the dark at the match play event. He'll win this, and a few more this year.

I wasn't able to watch (sh***ed out after a prolonged squawk - aka a conference) but when I saw headlines around mid-afternoon, Paul Casey looked to be on fire - then he went back to finish +3. Anyone know what happened?

Yesterday the field was playing like we do! I've never seen so many balls in the water in a tournament! It was almost like a practice round for some.

Camilo went back to Colombia after the Phoenix Open to serve as master of ceremonies at the new Nationwide Tour event he founded, and didn't arrive in Palm Beach until late Wednesday. I wouldn't have thought he'd get off to a strong start, but he's -2 already in his second round.

Let's see how this Alex Rocha character does this afternoon. I've never heard of him.

He shot 41 on the back nine. Today, he started on the back nine, and shot 31. He's -5 on his round so far.

It's also very weird that for an American tour event of middling status, so many of the highest-ranked players in the field do not play the the U.S. full-time. The top nine players in the field based on the World Golf Rankings (Westwood, Casey, McIlroy, Harrington, Garcia, Allenby, Els, Villegas, Yang) are international players with full-time status on the European Tour; the top-ranked American, Anthony Kim, also keeps a playing schedule that allows him full European Tour membership.

Rickie Fowler is in danger of missing another cut. Alex Prough is sitting at T14 having yet to tee off today. I'm starting to wonder if the wrong golfer is being shoved down our throats.

Watched a little bit of it yesterday, and it looked like the wind was really swirling. With some of the pins cut very close to the water's edge, there were more than a few splashes. Kind of nice to see to big boys have problems. Makes me feel better about my game this year so far. The wind has been tough for months (I know, at least I'm able to get out and play, and shouldn't complain).

Get with the program man - they're trying to sell pants. What does Alex Prugh wear that's not already in your closet?

Sam Saunders, the King's grandson is -3 in 12th place with 5 holes to play. I bet if he gets into contention over the weekend he won't lay up like Fowler; his grandfather would disinherit him.

Update: right after I posted he went to 4 under and 10th place with 4 holes to play.

      Day 303 - Long travel day, so just some mirror swings. Still trying to find that special combination that doesn’t induce hip pain.

      ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..

      In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.
