I may have set my alarm for 4am. I may also have set my alarm for Tiger's tee time. I'm not telling.

The player furthest away from the hole plays first.

Saturday of a major has been pure frustration for Tiger fans the last couple years, we'll see if today is any different. If they hit it close enough to the hole, they may elect to finish

I love Mahan, and other than Tiger/DJ, he's one of the few guys I'd love to see win.  However, everything he did yesterday was outside of the pressure of the final few groupings.  Today will be different for him, I believe.  Drastically different.  I think Stenson and Tiger will finish 1-2, not sure which order.

I know there's a four-hole aggregate playoff in the event of a tie, but ...

Which holes?  I've searched theopen.com and other places.  I must not be picking the right keywords.  Does anyone know?

Don't know about that, unless 'go low' is post a 69 or 70. Muirfield isn't a course where you have to light it up; you just have to hang on. Faldo won the Open in 1987 with 18 pars in the final round.

Not out of it yet. But he has to do what Poulter did at the turn - string some birds together.

He has to turn it around mentally first.

No matter how badly I'm playing, once a birdie or a tough putt goes in, everything changes mentally.

As soon as he starts missing short putts right like he did last hole, it's over for him.

You may be right. But lots of golf left.

...and just like that, a Woods birdie & Westwood bogey & he's only two back.

LOTS of golf left.

ESPN ran it on the bottom of the screen:  1, 16, 17, 18

      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.
