Loved the glass of coke in full camera view while John Daly was playing his approach shot. Also got him carrying the glass on walk down the fairway.

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

Glad to see John Daly playing well again. Three holes left and he might have his first top-10 finish since October 2005. Hopefully this is the beginning of his return to being a tour member! I remember saying that about David Duval twice in the past two or so years too.

Well, it looks like Daly secured that top-10 finish; good for him, though he definitely could've placed higher. Too bad for Romero, too; tied for the lead going into 18 and bogeys it.

Gotta say, I wasn't expecting 4-under-par to be the score to beat.

I think you're right, but I'm not sure if O'Hair's win is necessarily an indictment of Foley. Now if Mahan leaves then starts living up to his potential, then we might be on to something.

I didn't watch much of the Canadian. Saw some deep rough on Thursday and that was about it.

I'm seeing a trend I'm not particularly cool with regarding Sean Foley. I'll keep a lot of it to myself, having seen a fair amount of it in person, but I will put this out there for discussion: Foley's first changes are to a student's backswing. These golfers improve quite a bit and can play some good golf. But then they start to need help with the downswing and that's when Sean's out of his depth. I don't think he understands the downswing as well as he should. Tiger swinging +10 in Dubai should never happen. O'Hair not being able to stop wiping the golf ball should never happen. Justin Rose being told to straighten his right arm faster when his path is too far right should never really happen.

Granted we weren't watching the greatest players in the game in the final round, but that course looked like it was playing tougher than Congressional. Perhaps the Canadian Open will play host to the toughest courses in golf?

Agree, the course looked to play markedly more difficult than Congressional. Regarding the Canadian Open--don't think I've watched a tournament with so many players shooting wildly different day to day scores on the same course without a significant change in the weather.

i agree. Although they better not change Mahans follow through. I swear I get better just watching it.

Went to the 3rd round of RBC Canadian open and had a blast. It was my first time for to a PGA event and highly recommend going to one if you haven't gone yet. Here is a list of things that I noticed.

-Fairways were rock hard. I think I would be able to pump my drives to 270

-John Daly, fun guy to watch.  Takes driver even if the fairway is as narrow as a doorway. Crowds loved him

-Kevin Na, he hit some horrible shots. Even topped a tee shot.  But it was unbelievable he recovered and still got par.

-Ben Crane, couldn't watch him, almost unbearable

-Geoff Ogilvy really tall, he hit it far but his irons didn't sound as crisp as I would of thought.

-Fowler, small guy but hits it long.

-The guys are all LONG and accurate. Make the game look so easy. 150yds and in they have at worst a 10ft putt

I have to say that this was one of the most entertaining PGA tournaments I have seen this year...plus, it is always good to see a traditional solid Pacific Northwest course hold up so well.

Tough finish for Kris Blanks, but he should take a lot of positives away from this week (not to mention a few dollars).

Great to see Sean O'Hair back in the winner's circle....this game can be brutal at times.

Ballstriking is certainly the eye opening experience when watching the pro's up close!

    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?
    • https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
