The way the announcers were speaking, I'd say there were a number of mis-hits and people getting a little too aggressive, trying to cut down the distance on their 2nd shots.

That's what I was thinking too.  Zack Johnson went in and he never seems to make that mistake.

Zack was definitely trying to do that because he was paired with DJ.  On most 2nd shots, Zack was 30 - 50 yards behind DJ and was getting frustrated.

"The best player ever to live when I was growing up wore black pants, a red shirt," Reed said. "I was growing up watching him. I always thought, `You know, it would be cool to wear black and red coming down on Sunday. Just happens to be that we both wear it on Sunday now." - Patrick Reed Ergh.....

Okay, THAT bothers me. "We both wear it now." Get bent. I'd be curious to see what the other players on tour have to say about this guy.. Count me in as a hater now.

LOL this guy definitely needs to hire a PR person...he must be a little slow in the head, for real. As annoying as he is, I'll be stoked he's on the Ryder Cup team if he's still playing this well.

That's true this guy might be made for the Ryder Cup. PS I'm not a hater, because we may have a new guy with a personality and not a PR honed talking head. And I'm waiting for the day when Reed and Woods are paired on the final twosome on Sunday. The Tiger fanatics will be foaming at the mouth, if they're not already. Two guys dressed in red and black going head to head, ego to ego. That will be something.

You'd think Zach would be used to being first to hit from the fairway by now. It's not like he's spent the last ten years paired with Fred Funk and Corey Pavin.

Good point, but there was one hole where they were pretty far apart and when Zach saw what club DJ was using, Miller commented that Zach said "You've got to be kidding me".

Good chance Reed poops his TW Underoos in that scenario. Kudos on the win but nobody really put much pressure on him in the final round and back nine and he did start to hit some pretty sketchy tee shots even without a "Tiger" breathing down his neck. No knocking his talent, he beat the field but it's not like he buried the competition.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

If nobody put pressure on you for the entire final round, isn't that kind of the definition of "burying the competition?"

I wouldn't call a 1 shot margin burying the competition, no. He shot even par and got the job done. Like I said, kudos, but let's not get carried away.

Well, more like 1 1/2 seeing as how he basically "intentionally" bogied 18. But let me ask you this: what's the difference between playing well to the point that you afford yourself the luxury of making a couple of bogeys on the final few holes vs. if you get sloppy early, allow people to catch you, then make a birdie on one of the last holes to win? Is it really any different? Either way, it's a win. Dude beat the strongest field of the year and cruised for about the entire final round. I'm not getting "carried away" here, but he deserves some props.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
