Again, Westwood is the most overrated player in the world. His short game is legitimately terrible.

No doubt.

IMO, why try to fix something that isn't broken. He doesn't appear to have 'it' this weekend so why not just let him ride the pine?


You really know how to misinterpret things. Good work.

Of course, and I have no problem with that. But his little Chic fil A thing (along with Cink) just bothered me. Nothing to do with religion, but the belly putter argument was annoying and terrible. Lastly, I just dont get genuine vibes from him. Plain and simple, I do not care for the guy. I'm sorry my opinion differs from yours. I forgot we all need to agree on everything around here.

I dont get it either. You gotta ride that momentum to the end. Bradley is gonna be our Poulter for years to come. Might as well give the young guy as much time as possible.

2 things:

1) Really with DL3 would split Tiger and Stricker up. It really hasnt worked well for them the past few. I would love to see some unorthodox Bubba and Tiger combo or something like that.

2) While ZJ and Dufner are playing decently so far, I really do not like them facing Rory and Poulter this afternoon. That is a scary combo.

Agreed.

I hope he's not doing the little league 'let's not hurt anyone's feebings so everyone gets to play' deal. You've got all the momentum so keep doing what you're doing; plain and simple.

The talking heads said something about an historically poor singles play record for guys who play 72 holes Fri and Sat.

I doubt that. He was the first captain to ever sit down Tiger. I don't think he's worried about anyone's feelings.

Just had a thought................maybe DL3 wants Keegan out getting the galleries hyped up.

I think Davis should sit Tiger again ;-)  Yeah sitting Bradley doesn't make sense to me either, He should have a lot of energy left, only played 13 holes this morning

I would really like to see Furyk and Brandt split up as well as Tiger an Stricker. I would rather see:

Brandt-Tiger up against Garcia-Donald this afternoon. Tiger gets in Sergio's mind**** of a brain. Brandt is simply playing better golf than Donald right now. Stricker and Tiger are not cutting it.

    • New clubs came in this morning and I happened to be working in the area so I picked them up. PING G430 Max 3W (-1.5°) with PING Tour 2.0 Black 75, X-Stiff at -1/2" PING G430 3H with PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 85, X-Stiff Those replace my old fairway wood and hybrid, making all 14 clubs in my bag fitted. I'm going to need new excuses for bad shots 😜
    • Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.
    • Re: your graphic, ‘ I expected a little more from a varsity letterman.’ Lol…just another one for @boogielicious
    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.
