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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
