Looks like it is playing easy for the pros.

A lot of low scoring yesterday and already today. If it stays like this till Sunday, I think the winning score may be -25ish

My picks are Garcia, Casey or Wilson

Yeah doesn't look like any of them are making low numbers 2 days in a row.

I'm going Sunday. I'm just a little bit disappointed that neither Daly nor Michael Bradley made the cut, so now I'll be bouncing around all day.

Sergio will choke over the weekend like he always does. It really is a shame, as I thought he was going to be the one to usurp Tiger.

Agreed.  I love to watch Sergio hit the ball, but turn up the heat and it's like watching a train wreck on the putting green.

This might sounds stupid, but I have this feeling about Spencer Levin.  The young kid is fearless and doesn't care about anyone out there.  He improves every season.  I think he'll do well this week and go on to win an event later this year.  But for the Transitions, I gotta go with Sergio as well.

I watched him at the Madrid Masters last year and his ball striking was out of this world. However, the moment he stepped on the green it was simply awful. On one of the first two rounds he shot 64 and if he'd been able to putt he would have broken 60 that's how good he was from T2G. The worse thing was he didn't even seem to care when he missed a putt. It was like he knew he wasn't going to hole it.

Keep an eye on Mark Wilson.  He is looking very smooth.

If there was such a thing as a golfer stock market, I would be being buying low on Sergio right now. He's going through a big slump right now, but I can't believe he has nothing left in his game at 31.

This is a great observation.  Watching him play, I get the feeling that he doesn't believe in his ability to hole putts as well.  You see quite a bit less emotion when putts are made/missed than other tour pros.

I'm rooting for Sergio, he's always been one of my favorites, and it would be great to see him get his game back. He's too good to finish his career without a major.

I agree, I'd really love to see Sergio play up to his potential.

Unfortunately, today hasn't been kind to Sergio.

Nope. That's Sergio's weekend performance for you. What a shame.

    • Day 284 - 2025-07-11 Demonstrated and hit enough short game shots in a playing lesson that I can count it as 15 minutes of practice today. Easily.
    • So few of us would ever even come close to actually having to contemplate such a thing that I'm not sure any of us can really provide much insight here. Do what you feel is best. Or most rational. Or most interesting. All I can say is this: whatever you choose, commit to it and go with it. Don't half-ass it and waffle between your choice and the other options.
    • Played 18 holes at Fort Hays, Kansas Wednesday.  It was 95* and very windy. We had to play the back 9 twice because the course had Men's night tied up on the front 9. In the wind and heat, I shot a 56. 2nd round, I shot a 50. (The last 2 holes I played left handed.)  The wind died down a little and the last two holes (17 & 18) I shot using the left handed clubs.  17th hole is a par 5 and using a left handed driver and 2 fairway #3 woods, I was on in 3 strokes. I did 3 put for a 6.  The 18th hole is a par 3 over the water to the green. I sliced the shot (playing left handed) because I was using a 5 iron to compensate for the wind. (Normally would use a 7 or 8 iron as it is only 123 yards.) Landed short of the green and then chipped on an took a 4.   So, my 18 holes, in heat and winds, I shot 56 & 50 = 106, and played the last 2 holes left handed.  Now, my 2nd question. I can buy a left handed starter set for around $200 complete with bag and putter.   Or do I just switch the woods? I shoot a pretty good short game inside 100 yards.  I love hearing your encouragement and positive opinions.  I was diagnosed with Parkinson's around 10 years ago. It started in my right hand and has now spread to no feeling in my right leg below the knee. (I asked the Neruologist how could I walk if I had no feeling and he said, "from muscle memory." ) Then into my left leg and left hand. I am 90% disabled but continue to view exercise as my best friend.  From January 1 to July 11, I will have walked 724,795 steps, 421 miles, and 1,420 flights of stairs. I have to use a cane 1st thing in the morning and take a hot bath to loosen my leg muscles up enough to walk.  (Takes about 2 hours) Currently, I am doing physical theraphy 2 times a week but that may be ending soon.)  My weight has dropped from 175 pounds to 159 pounds. Because my body is constanntly moving. Consquently, myright side is affecting my golf swing.  Also, my friends see the outside jerky movements. However, Parkinson's is a neruological disease and the involuntary movements are minor compared to the lack of taste, no appetite, mental mood swings, night sweats, and foggy brained.  Well, enough of my problems. I fight this disease every way I can and am not a quitter.    So back to my original question. Do I totally change over to left handed golf or do I just change the Woods? Your thoughts please.   BTW, My Dad, L.G. Warner was Texas State Left Handed Golf Champion in the 50's. The reason I play right handed was becuse left handed clubs were difficult to find and not popular until sometime later.  Blessings,  Retired Old Man, Terry      
    • My best shot was BS, I classify as good result. When you try to hit a punch out on the yellow line. Then you just steepen the club from A6.5 and pull hook it way left. It wraps around a tree, gets past the big tree before the green, and rolls up to about 10-FT from the pin.🤣 Then I leave the birdie putt 1/2" short in the heart. I deserved that. 🤣
    • Got off to probably one of my best starts ever last night.   Was -1 thru 5 and finished the front 9 with a +1 (37).   The back 9 wasn't very good but we were playing speed golf to try and beat the darkness.   Ended up with 37/44 for an 81.   Still a great score for me.    My last 5-6 rounds have all contributed to my handicap index so we trending in the right direction.
