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 dunno. T13 is still +3. Some players are moving. Most of them are backwards.

Neither Tiger nor Rory were able to post a lower round than Sergio Garcia, and he drove the ball out of bounds three times in a row on the same hole.

Given you couldn't even predict his second-round score, I don't take muck stock in that prediction.

Oh, Boom.

Justin Rose still in it, come on man!

I think you have to be inside 4 shots of the lead today, because there probably won't be a low score (like 66) out there tomorrow and someone of the leading group will at least get a round around par.

And you won't be right until Woods stops playing. So with that reasoning it's better not to make predictions, because they're in fact worthless.

I also predicted that he wouldn't win this week, so I'm 1/2.

So Tiger said yesterday he was happy with his game??   Really?

Vonn looked smashing btw.   Who cares about golf if she's waiting for you to hole out at 18?

Lose the babe and 3/4 billion dollars and get hungry again? Is that the winning formula for Tiger? He did look more relaxed than ever before after today's round horsing around with McIlroy.     Has he lost something, the Tiger edge maybe? He's been in this game for 30 years. Look at other athletes who were pushed by a parent:  they long gone.

But you can't say that.   He's won 4 times this year, he's serious out there, he feels it.

      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?
