There are 156 players competing at the PGA Championship this week, but only one of them has a foot-long braid of deep-fried goodness named after him. Introducing the Heath Slocum!

Unfortunately, as delicious as his fuel was, Heath could only manage an 80 today. What a shame.

I'm from Ireland so I have no affiliation to either sport (Although the Irish Cricket team actually beat England not long ago)

I prefer cricket out of the 2 of them though.

How? Baseball is such a one dimensional game, where participation from the players is such a small part of the team. Let me ask you a question, which is the most difficult?

Probably didn't want to risk a normal warm up with an hour+ on the range. He hit a good first drive there anyway

Who pays the internet bill?  [joke]

Man, I can't remember someone struggling like Clark in the "reigning champs" grouping in the PGA ...

Rory stiffs it out of the pot. This won't be fun waking up at 7.30 for my tee time tomorrow.

Only 10.15 here. 12 hours ahead of Atlanta.

Speaking of the golf, can Rory start holing some putts? missed 3 genuine birdie chances already...

I had Tiger finishing top 25, I don't think he'll make the cut and I'm always hoping he'll play well.

Tiger will have to shoot 64/65 today to make the cut. I doubt it will happen...but you never know.

    • Shot of the Week for me was definitely this drive that set up my second birdie of the back 9 yesterday. It’s a longer par 4 but usually the prevailing wind is with you (the slightly longer hole to the right is a par 5 that usually plays into the wind). I don’t usually hit driver on this hole and honestly couldn’t think of the last time I did when I was standing on the tee. Yesterday, the wind was in the opposite direction so I had to hit into a headwind. I decided I’d need the extra length with driver on the tee and absolutely piped it. It was perfectly launched with low spin that just penetrated through the wind. Technically the approach shot was worth more in SG (I hit it inside 4’), but this drive set up the entire hole.

    • Rory and Bryson are two of my favorites for some time.  This was a great watch.  Poor Rory looked gutted and (heat?) exhausted at the end there.  Bryson play US Open golf - Captain Scramble.  Avoid the blowups and accidentally find a birdie on occasion and it goes far,  
    • 2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green. 
    • I absolutely LOVE my new Titliest U505 3 iron.  It was slightly chunky looking at first, but I don't even notice it anymore after just a couple rounds with it. It's super easy to launch it high and I have no issues flighting it down either.  Perfectly fine to hit off the tee for tighter tee shots and for 2nd shots into par 5s. Even the mishits go much further than I think they should, it's quite forgiving.
