2012 Players Championship Discussion Thread

Tiger, Rickie & Mahan each roll in easy breezy 2's on 17 - none probably more than 10 feet (Hunter at just over 2 feet)

next up Stenson, Toms & O'Hair and they cover the green from front to back and side to side, Toms being the closest at 20 feet

it is fun having Live @ 17 up and running on the other monitor.

Na just made double. Ewwww

Apparently DA Points withdrew with back spasms, but only after the other members of his group teed off, and thus first alternate Brian Harman couldn't take his place.

Seems like a pretty self-centered move.

They just reported that Kevin Na doubled because his tee shot got stuck in top of a Palm Tree... Therefore he had to play it as a lost ball... Go back to the tee box and tee off again.

DA stated that he had back spasms which started up ~ 25mins before his tee time.  He went to the trailer where they have trainers and first aid, to see if he could get his back worked on.  Then went to the first tee and took a few practice swings and decided he couldn't play and withdrew on the first box.  There wasn't enough time to get Brian Harman, the first alternate out - as the other two players in DA's group had already tee'd off.

The good news... They're reporting on Golf Channel that the tournament has announced that Brian Harman (first alternate) will get to play.  They are going to send him out as a single after the last threesome tee's off today.

rough break, but he bounced back with his 7th and 8th birdies of the round on 2 & 3

Water has gotten a lot of action with the recent groups

That is great!

Damn Tiger- way too many bogies mixed in with those birdies.

[brocks]

Looking at Shot Tracker, Mahan didn't miss a fairway his first 8 holes, then suddenly he hit it into the water on 18 (his ninth hole today), and has only hit a couple of fairways since, with some of his drives going way, way off line. I wonder if he pulled a muscle or something. Edit: they just showed him hitting on 8 (his 17th), and I didn't see any restriction in his swing. I guess he just had an off day.

I know Phil was using Project x shafts this year in his irons, but it looks like KBS now? Interesting...

You know Phil, ever the tinkerer.

Tiger can't blame his putting today:  28 putts, but only 50% GIR and fairways.  If they cut down today he'd miss by 2; he still only 3 shots behind Rory though, who's at T37.  Tight field I guess.
