Question is will they outlaw the long putter if Petterson wins?

The guy has made some par savers on the back 9.

At the PGA, Tiger needs to finish: -- solo 4th to go over $100 million in official career earnings. -- solo 3rd, with cooperation from Luke and Rory, to become #1 in the world rankings. -- first

It was briefly, but I had to send it to the guys there for the once-over (factual review - not a lot of facts, so even though it's long, it shouldn't TAKE too long). Here are some pictures. The

He played two good rounds at the US Open, and three good rounds at the British. My calculations indicate he'll play four good rounds this week.

Tiger hopes you are correct...we shall see.

Just for the record I'm a Phil fan.....he is much more entertaining, lol, it's like an adventure watching him anymore.

Tiger just blew this hole - 16

Petterson's wheels are falling off but the long putter keeps him in

So it looks like it will be Tiger and Vijay in the final group tomorrow, just like old times. Funny how Tiger got his ball striking back just when he seemed to lose his feel on the greens.

this weekend shaping up to be a knockdown dragout, awesome course, PGA picked a good one

US Open needs to go there........plant seagrass in all the "sandy areas" and let it grow

[URL=https://twitter.com/aronpricePGA]‏[S]@[/S] aronpricePGA [/URL] I think Tiger's round just took 5.55 hours. Thats a long time on the links in those conditions.

Heck, everybody knows Tiger can't play in the wind.

The golf scribes on twitter are having meltdowns about how "unfair" the course is. Do you think its unfair because you can't really play the course in windy condition by playing low shots?

Very sloppy finish there, Tiger, very sloppy. I'm disappointed in you.

Kiawah and Whistling would be awesome US Open courses, the USGA is starting to use these new courses in the future like Chambers bay and Erin Hills.

First off, the music sounds very similar at the beginning to the much cooler Rolex ads.  Second, you can't afford a second friggin' ad?

And everybody else is falling off, except for the Swedish Meatball, but I don't see him sticking with Tiger over the weekend.

"Swedish Meatball" - I about spit out my drink when I read that.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
