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.

why do you think he dropped there?  i would think he would have a better lie from that packed dirt.

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.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
