Sawgrass is a fairways-and-greens course; a player who wants to win there needs to keep the ball in play first and foremost. Hunter Mahan and Ryan Moore are the tour leaders this year in total driving, and both are within the top 50 in greens in regulation. Nick Watney and Adam Scott rank within the top 12 in each category. I'm looking at those four guys this week.

67 for Moore, 69 for Watney, 70s for Mahan and Scott. My first two not listed (Heath Slocum and Tim Clark) shot 67 and 68 respectively. All of my players to watch are well in contention after 18 holes.

He has been playing the Nike SQ 2 (2, not squared) woods since they came out. They are the smallest fairway woods Nike has made since they came out and Nike's best IMO.

I dont know about you but I wouldnt want the same driver tiger has. Hes the best to play and cant hit it wortha darn.lol


So has Tiger been keeping the driver in the bag? I can't watch any of the coverage but his driving distance is way down according to the PGA Tour site stats.

It's got more to do with his low smash factor, 1.474, 161st on tour in 09. Even his average drive distance (average of all measured drivers hit) is down fairly low. When you're not hitting it well, you're not going to get as much distance.

He hits the driver, it doesn't hit him. This logic is highly flawed. Anthony Kim won with the exact same driver a few weeks before. How do you explain that?

No, it's probably more the fact that he is hitting 3W and irons. His driving distance is 250ish, not changinf his smash factor (no matter how low it is) won't make his driver 40 yards shorter.

The ball he uses. The Nike One Platinum (or Nike One Tour) is a very short ball.

Stensons last hole was kind of funny. 270 yards from tee, and then he shoots 305 yards from fairway and makes the eagle putt. He didn't use driver a single time and he was -5 for the four par 5s (is at -3 total). Think this could be an interesting week again for Stenson.

Lee Westwood with a -7 under 65 today -12 total, the man is on fire! .......... I would like to see him with a win on Sunday since he's been sooooo damn close lately


hehe C'mon Bubba, at least a top 25 for the Playas

yes, GO BUBBA!

I just saw his Ping G15/I15 driver commercial a few minutes ago. "I've hit flop shots farther than that drive" LOL Classic.

    • From what I heard over the weekend, Shedeur pulled a "Bo Callahan" with the Giants. Per Todd McShay: “Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit. An install package came in, preparation wasn’t there for it, he got called out on it, he didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it." You can have all the talent in the world (which I am not sure he has, as CU tailored the offense to his strength in a weak division ), but you have to act like a top round draft pick and not like an unproven legend! If you get drafter at 3 as a QB in the draft you are expected to lead that team, and preparation is part of that.  Playing ball in NY (any sport) requires you to deal with criticism, and deal with it as a professional.  
    • I agree that in a pure stroke-play situation the use of E-5 limits the possible scores by limiting the potential to hit multiple shots OB.  But in a Stableford or "quota" game, a player is likely to be in "blob" territory anyway, so its a minimal difference.   I understand that E-5 is viewed differently in different parts of the world, I don't know what the Australian attitude would be, but I don't see a problem with using it.  
    • Probably hurt him a small bit. I am pretty sure Ward didn’t throw. He probably over evaluated his skill. Which may be his entitled attitude. I agree with the pick at that point. I think he’s closer to an end of the day 2 pick than a day 1 prospect. There has been plenty of QB’s who had similar numbers that don’t thrive in the NFL. It’s easy to get a high comp% in college and put up big numbers. 1) Colorado had to score a lot to win, so they aired it out. 2) The level of competition is low.  Against FBS teams with a winning % he was 70% with 7.5 y/a. Lots of short easy stuff.  Versus Will Howard who had 75% with 9.5 y/a. That 2 y/a is huge.  Cam Ward, 67% at 10 y/a. Look at Joe Burrow, 75% at 10.2 y/a. He was unable to read defenses well enough against FBS teams with winning % to push the ball down field.  I get his o-line was bad, but Miami had an average O-line, not elite and there is a noticeable difference between the two QB’s. They should never been talked as 1A/1B.    
    • That's what I'd suggest you do ,post hole-by-hole, post an "x" for the holes not played,  unless directed otherwise by a Handicap Committee with approval from your state golf association.  "Par plus.." is no longer used, unless specific instructions are given.  Note that Clarification 3.2b/2 says it should be used "only when approved by the Authorized Association".
    • I have no idea if he's any good or not. I've only ever seen him play one game. I will say he probably got bad advice going into the draft. He should have done all the "Combine Stuff" at the combine. Refusing to throw at that combine hurt.  I disagree about what his game film shows. I'm no expert, but I tried to watch as much as I could this weekend. I think it's really hard to find any game film on him that's worth a pile of beans. He's either playing really inferior competition in which case the game film is worthless. Or he's immediately running for his life the moment the ball is snapped. In which case the game film is worthless. He should have gone through the combine stuff. That was a huge mistake.  I do think it's a great pick for the Browns in the 5th round. Why not take him at that point? I think he has a chance to develop into something. Completing 75% of his passes, for 4100 yards, 37 TD's with only 10 picks behind that terrible offensive line is pretty good numbers. He may stink out loud at the next level, but being picked in the 5th round means he isn't a bust. He's just a 5th round pick that didn't work out.  If he stinks. Who cares? .... The Browns have had plenty of bad quarterbacks over the last 25 years.
