2013 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Discussion Thread

[Spitfisher]

I could puke with coverage right now from the golf channel....just awful and total lack of substance and interest. Kelly Tillman  please go away, take Notah with you, Hard to believe this is the best they can do, Rosy at least has some factual intellect and interest, unfortunately he has been on for all of 2 minutes in between commercials and kellys love fest.  She back on, excuse my while I visit the toilet again.

Crowds seem to be cheerful yet not obnoxious.  Then again it's the AM.  We'll see how they are after lunch and a few drinks.

[RonTheSavage]

Yeah the beer/wine tent hasnt opened yet. My first PGA tour event people were lined up for booze before the booths opened. At least I waited until after lunch! LOL

Irons off of every tee in the majors is getting boring.

lol, it was all downhill from there for Tiger.

Edit: actually I'm thinking of the shot on #2.  After that miss it was all downhill.

[rehmwa]

it's quiet here - what happened to Tiger on the last hole - penalties? or just a couple bad shots? there's a guy from Japan at -4 after 5 holes........... Rory just started too - strong birdie. I can't follow it from work here....ack

[preisman]

Hard to follow what is going on while at work. The live stream barely plays right now.. Tiger had trouble getting out of the bunker on the final hole. Watching iron shots for tee shots is boring. It is not what a major should be.

Since he brought out his driver on #4 and pushed it to the right rough, his swing started coming loose.

Damn Rory is blazing out of the gate. He must have found something this past week.

Commentators said putting coach tweaked his stroke

[TJBam]

Phil made a bad tee shot, teed up provisional, and hit same shot into same trouble.  Let's watch it unravel

[rehmwa]

HA!!! With all the talk of "Tiger vs Adam vs Phil vs etc etc etc" I don't think anyone had a "Rory vs Idoki" lineup staged. BUT....it's early yet.

I think watching continuous videos of him blistering the field one year ago has helped a bit.

Got away with a "three putt" double bogey.  One putt included a 40 yarder putt thru two cuts. lol

watching live http://thesandtrap.com/chat Jeremie Boop won't talk to me

I mentioned this earlier in chat.  I have not followed majors or the tour closely enough to take notice in the past, but recently it seems like if someone pulls out a driver on a narrow fairway with a high second cut, it's an anomaly.  I could be wrong but I seem to remember a lot more drivers in the majors in early 2000's.  Am I mistaken?  What gives?

Players are just longer now than 13 years ago, but courses have stayed the same, some slightly longer. Personally I like the extra penal rough. If they want to hit a wedge into a green they better be confident with the driver. They can't just hit driver to within 150 and know they'll be fine if theyfind the rough.

Jiminez......what an athlete!
