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.

Hey guys, it's not really necessary (or desirable) at this point to rehash the whole "Tiger cheating...." issue here, again, in this thread.  We had a thread on that, sucked about forty other threads

Nice to see him smile. Hope we see a lot more of that this year.

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.

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
