He saw your post and decided not to win this week.

Well my posts do carry quite a bit of weight, didn't you know?

Looks like he's not as far off the lead as he could have been when he was +3 on his round.

TV guide says 2.5 hours of LIVE coverage for this is going to start in an hour. All players will be done in 1 hour, according to the live leaderboard. Am I missing something here?

I don't think Rory wants to win this one, the way he's hitting balls in the water.

I just got back from my 5am round and it's 11:41AM PST.  Coverage starts in 20 minutes and the leaders are all through 17.  Ridiculous.

Having said that, go DJ!!!

I think I'm the only person who picked DJ to win the US open earlier this week in the contest thread. I had a feeling!

They may have bumped up the rounds if there's bad weather in the forecast. The TV guide isn't going to update itself to say tape-delayed.

Well Congrats to DJ for pulling off a win with such a huge gap of off time this season. Also good for him to finish a 72 hole tourney win instead of a shortened tounament. Can't knock that.

Does Dustin winning make it more or less likely that he was "injured" or serving a suspension for recreational drugs?

How would it be more likely? This question doesn't make sense. And he looks and sounds like a burner. But whom am I to judge?

Well, it wouldn't make it more likely that he was injured, so I suppose it would be the latter.  Although I still would need some evidence supporting it other than the rumors.

Here's a better question. Who withdraws from Augusta without a real injury? I'd love to see something more than speculation on the drug issue.

I would like to know where the rumors came from. Just because he walks with a wide gait and doesn't show a ton of emotion doesn't mean he smokes weed.

Agreed. Pretty lame rumor IMO.

Sky in the UK flagged up the live coverage being earlier at the end of their coverage on Saturday night, so it wasn't a last minute thing.

Spoilers! I didn't realize it was on tape delay & came to this thread only to see that you were talking about the DJ win!

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
