Not exactly surprising AK couldn't get it done. He's absolutely butchered the 'Bear Trap' each time he's played this course, so a run down the stretch from him was not likely. Glad Camillo won.

He seemed to be upbeat about his performance in an interview after the round. I'll take that as a good sign.

What is wrong with Dan Hicks and Jimmy Roberts these days? I thought Dan was a bit too obsessed with Tim Clark's "diminutive" stature at the President's Cup, but this weekend he wouldn't shut his piehole about Camilo beiing short and slight, yet also quite muscular. During the post round interview on Saturday, it sounded (to me) like with Hicks (or was it Roberts - I can't tell them apart) was trying to get Camilo to say something he didn't want to - repeatedly hammering on his lack of wins since 2008. I'm surprised Villegas didn't put one of his "muscular" arms through the guy's giant head.

Camilo was impressive. It is a tough course, but he made it look quiet easy. For now, I consider Camilo as one of the favorites to win the Maters. AK wasn't bad at all, 8 under par is a very good score for this course. AK will get better, he is 3 years younger than Camilo after all. Good to see Vijay is playing well again also.

Don't necessarily disagree regarding Camilo's chances at Augusta, but he was a bit yippy with the flatstick today. Not something you want to have happen Masters week on those greens. Then again, the greens at the Honda from what I heard and saw seemed to be very difficult to read and putt. Leave it to Johnny to emphasize the impact the grain had today.

Fun tournament to watch. I live in Palm Beach County and went to watch the finals today. 1st time going to a PGA tournament. I was hoping for AK to pull through but oh well, Camilo deserves it. Some impressive shots out there. Look forward to visiting more.

Nice rant, congratulations. I agree. Camilo is very athletic and looks like he does some partially aerobic upper body exercise rather than just maxing out with the weights to bulk up. I have no idea how he works out, just saying that he doesn't have the 'roided up body of some other sportsmen (mostly other sports of course).

Those commentators are idiots at times, you have to wonder why they keep harping like that. Makes them look rather foolish, which you wouldn't think would be something they would want. Who are they playing to anyway with this sort of thing - mostly the non-golfing public? Golfers know better than to give credence to stuff like that. I'll never forget the first time I saw Camilo close up, on the range at Torrey Pines 4 or 5 years ago now probably. I'd never seen the guy before and there he was looking very very cool (I was maybe 20 feet away - he was hitting from the N side). Very very impressive physique even then, high clubhead speed and hit the ball a loooong way. Later: corrected for spelling, it's "Camilo" not "Camillo".

Poor Nathan Green and his water shots, all three of them and he still has to chip. Yikes! In hindsight, if he takes a drop on the front side of the water, hits the green and two putts, he's in the top ten.

That low drive by Villegas on the back nine was pretty cool. I thought he hit it thin, but the replay showed not. I had the volume off, I wonder what Miller had to say.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Nothing worth listening to.

Whenever I watch golf now, I turn off the audio and listen to a podcast, sometimes this sites', sometimes others. Get 2 things done at once. My exceptions are for the majors.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
