Rory McIlroy will win it.

I've tried looking for statistics on this tournament, but without much success. Do they not record stats like driving and GIR accuracy this week?

CBS needs to scroll through five pages of the leaderboard to list every player within five strokes of the lead. Translation: this tournament is as wide open as any major I can remember.

Correction: this tournament was wide open, but then Nick Watney decided to go on a birdie binge.

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)

DJ's drive went further; Rory's drive had the better line.

Any one else find it weird to hear Breed talk in a normal tone on the broadcast?

Would not be unheard of, Rory is only 7,5 yards behind DJ on the driving average this year.

At least they've stopped showing every move Tiger and Phil make and started showing the guys who are actually playing well. I've seen enough double shots of Moobs shrugging off another gaff in his clown pants or Mr. Pouty Pants miming the path his missed putt "should have taken".

I don't know, I'm watching the online marquee coverage and I have to mute it because when he opens his mouth I just want to scream.

Nevermind. My eyes must have deceived me when i read 63 for Liang

The following sticks of wonder are found in the orange bag of carrying

Actually, it was only a 64.

How is Watney getting away with where he's leaving a lot of his tee shots? Surely, he can't keep this up.

Watney is on today. He can miss it anywhere and still hit it inside 10 feet on the approach.

Lots of good scoring here today, even Tiger managed to put together four birdies. The leaderboard is packed at -9 to -6, only Watney running off at -12 at the moment. He'll feel the pressure if he get a 2-4 shot lead for tomorrow, with a bunch of guys chasing.

Yes, he is on fire. Hopefully the gap between him and the rest is not too big tomorrow. I really hope McIlroy and Kaymer get a shot at the title..

Near certain birdie at 14 and the easy 16 could bump him to -14

I don't like Nick's chances if he keeps up his play right now. He's had some solid holes, but a lot of luck to get where he is today, and luck is not a thing one wants to rely on.

Just as I type that, he nestles a wedge to three feet. OK, that's not luck. If he can play 18 holes like that tomorrow, he'll win.

Club pro. He was in my threesome in the third round of the National Club Pro in French Lick. Good guy. Bounced back from a double IIRC to shoot even par and then -2 or -3 to make the cut for the PGA on the number.

    • Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…
    • Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him. 
    • Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.   
    • Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
