Yes. Great player who deserves his lead currently. Won't last, though.

expecting a faceless corporation to be moral is like expecting your dog to talk. they're there to make money, nothing more nothing less.

Tiger playing very well from tee to green, but the putting is still a little off, missed one or two short ones.Same as he has been lately really.

McIlroy eagle on 9, nice.

Exactly, which is why I don't care about JD trying to get some of their money, and if he has a valid claim, good luck to him.

Good to see Faldo hanging in at even par for the round so far. Although it looks like the road hole is about to take one from him.

The BBC streaming coverage on Espn3 streaming is so much better than the US coverage. No commercials, no Curtis Strange.

Even if BBC had commercials, the announcing is better. US announcers too repetitive. Strange says well done over and over again.

Nike should be very happy with the coverage of Tiger's putter so far. I turned it on this morning to the announcers talking in depth about the technology behind it and how well it works. Accompanied by some nice shots of the swoosh and grooves on the face. At -6, it must be working ok for him, even though they showed him missing a few putts.

I wish I had gotten up earlier and seen more of McIlroy's round.

Tiger putting together something of a rare sight with a good first round.
Great stuff by Rory, opening with 63. Too bad he missed the short birdie putt for a 62.

I have to say, the aerial shots of the rectangular looking 18th hole are really awesome. Those views and the view from the 17th tee really make me want to play.

As for the competition, both Tiger and Rory could be even lower. Tiger has missed a few makable ones, and both should have been 1 shot better on 17.

Watch out for this Jin Jeong kid. Won the British Amateur at Muirfield last month with the most lights-out putting game I've ever seen. Six under today through 15. Nice start!

I am shocked by how low the scores are so far today. Only four players are faring worse than 2-over; that's incredible for a major championship. Here's hoping the wind picks back up.

Let's hope the folks at Loudmouth have provided Daly with something nicer than a ratty Reebok sweatshirt for the final round this year.

      -9 Day One at Arnold Palmer

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.
