Donald will win by 3 playing like this.

Watney with an 11 on the par 5 second!? How did that happen? (Shot Tracker looks kinda weird...)

Watney got a 2 shot penalty on the 2nd for taking a swipe at the ground in the hazard while his ball was in it (testing the surface)

He's now +10 for the day. Fowler not doing much better.

Hard to know who will take this now.

Rickie Fowler sucks. Seriously, could the guy be near more leads and yet continue to blow up in the final round any more often than he seems to do?

Rickie sucks, until he doesn't anymore, but I'm not certain that day is coming any time soon.

No comment from Johnny Miller et al when Jason Day stuck his iron in the fairway?

+2. You can only use the "he's young" excuse for so long. Time for him to man up and actually do something that proves he's worth all the hype.

He played excellent golf until the last approach shot. 30 holes without a bogey, then bogies one of the easiest holes on the course.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Lee passed over my hometown this afternoon, and the local NBC affiliate bumped the entirety of the final round telecast in favor of four hours of weather alerts. I'll have to watch the recap on the Golf Channel tonight to find out how the final round went down.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Some people take longer to develop than others. That's all I can say.

Lebron James isn't finishing 4 quarters but is still considered possibly the top player in his sport. Rickie Fowler continues to choke in the final round but "sucks"? C'mon guys, you guys have surely seen his talent. He's taking longer to get there than most with his talent, but I would say he is far from being qualified for that word.

Okay, you convinced me.

Lebron James sucks too. :-)

He has been at the top or near the top many times and hasn't gotten it done.  You're right, he doesn't suck.  After all he has gotten to the top of the leaderboards before.  But until he gets the job done, he will be known as a choke artist.  And you can't use experience as an excuse.  6 PGA Tour rookies have won this year.

I did not use experience as an excuse. I said that he's taking longer to develop than others. Especially his mental game. There's no doubt in my mind he deserves the title "choke artist". But with the amount of talent he has, you have to expect he'll acquire the mental game soon.

LOL!

Agreed on Simpson's putting. He was pretty hot down the stretch and into extra holes.

Happiness is a long walk with a putter.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
