If he finishes eagle-birdie-eagle-birdie he can shoot another 60.  He already got the first eagle and 17 is drivable.  Crazier things have happened. I'm looking for him to finish 44 under par at the end of the day Sunday. :)

The PGA Tour's 36-hole (first two rounds) scoring record is 124. He needs one more birdie to break it.

Anybody know why Pat Perez got DQ'd?  Just curious.

Yeah, he was 2 over.

There are 132 players in this tournament (counting him, and Davis Love, who withdrew) and there are currently only 17 guys over par .  By their standards, I guess you would call this a pretty easy course. ;)

Phil being Phil.  Every time he has a chance to do something great, he somehow makes an unforced error.  He plays a 3W of the tee, then still doesn't play it safe.  Or did he just miss hit it that badly?  I expect that sort of shot from me, but a Tour pro should be able to play a safe tee shot with a 3W at least 95 out of 100 tries.  Then he follows it up after the drop with an equally poor approach.  I love the guy, but he's aging me faster than I can afford.

Can't imagine ... such a well behaved gallery.

Maybe someone sniffled during his backswing.

I have to agree with you.

I do like that this tournament is unique with the fans making noise, and it's not like the players don't know this coming in.  Obviously the players don't seem to mind, if they did they wouldn't come here.

And some don't, in part because of the soccer match atmosphere.  If I was a relatively successful pro, I'd probably skip it too.  Just doesn't belong in golf.  (jmo)

Phil is probably the only one disappointed in a 60-65 that should have been a 59 (with any good luck) and a 63, if he had used his analytical brain.

So Phil hits his 9 iron 175 yards. What does he hit his 3 iron? Maybe 250? So he's got 7 clubs for 75 yards, 3 wedges for 0–170 and 3 woods/driver for 255–320? I guess these guys can probably hit their 7 iron 140 yards if they want to. It just seems inefficient.

Snedeker shoots three great rounds and he's 6 back when they tee off on Sunday.  All I can say about Phil is WOW!!

His 9i is 41*, which is 2-3* strong.  And he said that he always takes one less club on 16 and hits it hard because of the charged up nature of that hole and the adrenaline he typically feels on that tee.  And that ball pitched forward about 10 yds.  So, what you actually have is Phil hitting a 9+ iron full out and carrying it about 165.

Phil is very long, but when you look at it that way, it doesn't seem as quite as ridiculous.

I am total opposite of you.I love the football atmosphere(dont watch soccer).Wish we would see more courses like this.If I was a betting man I would bet money that in 10-20 yrs you will see more courses have a hole like #16.So guys that dont play it better start getting use to it

I guess you notice Tiger's not there. This is why.

Bragging about a 200 yard 7 iron is not golf.

    • Day 135: 5/10/24 Putting and chipping practice. Good session putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?
    • https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
