Landing area on #16. The fairway bamks up to the right but it is very narrow and nobody will try to hit it up there. It's a short iron over the quarry to the hole, so they will most probably play shor

The ridiculous thing is not that Phil is flying back for his daughter's 8th grade graduation, it is that her school is even HAVING an 8th grade graduation.  Alas this is becoming far too common.

I just don't like his chances this weekend.

Doesn't seem good.

Either he isn't striking well and it is in his head enough he is faking soreness...or he is really sore and causing bad shots.

Either way, doesn't speak well for his game mentally. Although this break might be good for him to rest and reset and start over mentally.

I felt like it was more his putting and short game.

I like that small par 3 (hole #13?).I think that might be the smallest par 3 these guys get to play.

Does anybody else think phil milkelson made a change to cleveland golf with his golf bag he has now?Looks just like the cleveland golf logo on the side

don't have a good feeling about Tiger this week, he just doesn't look sharp in any aspect of his game ... it's a pity his "run" since the start of the year has come to a halt at the Memorial, at an inopportune time in the golfing calender.  Hope he gets his game back before the British and PGA and snags one major this year.

Go Luke ... vindicate that (previous) #1 ranking, mate.

Driver: TaylorMade RocketBallz 10.5-deg
Woods: Cobra Bio Cell+ 3W and 5W
Hybrids: Bobby Jones Workshop Hybrid 3 (20-deg) and 5 (25-deg)
Irons: Srixon XXIO7 from 6 - PW
Wedge: Srixon XXIO7 GW and SW

Putter: Bobby Grace DCT Captiva 34"; Ball: Sirxon Soft Feel; Shoes: Footjoy

He's got 26 holes to figure something out on Friday. I don't think Tiger is winning this week, but I do think he'll find a way to get into the discussion.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Would be good to see Luke Donald finally win a major.

Woods doesn't look good, he always has problems with adjusting to different/slower greens and that left wrist/elbow didn't look to good either.

But still lots of golf to be played and first round leaders rarely go on to win.

All about Luke Donald (biased opinion of course)!

Those final few shots that tiger had were shocking... it was like watching myself on the course, clearly something wrong there. The stoppage has come at a great time for Woods in my opinion.

Still think Phil will win this, his short game is just immense

p.s. that 17th green is horrific!

Tiger didn't do too bad the last time he was injured at a US Open, but he will have to step up his game. His game so far this tournament and at the Memorial was not impressive.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
