I hope Justin Rose doesn't get penalised after the possible ball move on the 18th. Did anyone see a good replay?! The commentator on Sky said it definitely did move but I couldn't see it? VERY harsh if he does.

I think this is Rickie Fowler's week. All the changes he has made with Butch, I think more wins will start happening. He has played pretty well this year and I just think its his time to get another w

Kaymer's been showing signs the past few weeks of getting his form back. He really went through a major swing change and it might finally be paying off.

No love for Speith? Amazing how consistent and calm his game is at such a young age.  I keep waiting for the flash to dissipate, and the next week there he is again.  I'm really becoming a fan.

Johnny Miller did too, but I don't know what he was seeing ... On my (pretty decent) tv it was zap ruder like quality video. No way to tell IMO.

A mixture of good fortune & great recovery play over the last few holes there. Very impressive.

Speith is bogey-free thru 54 holes in his first ever Players Championship. Unbelievable. If he doesn't win a US Open in the next 3 years I'll drink a dozen beers.

And when he does win one you'll celebrate with a 12-pack?? :-P

It's funny because the other day I was actually wondering how many players can make it through this entire tournament without dumping one in the water.  I presume that he hasn't done that yet?  Obviously its no guarantee because these guys can still make pars out of the water sometimes, but I assume it's likely.

I wonder if he's the only one?

I guess I win regardless. :-) Speith's last six holes were impressive. He drove it like @kyle Anthony and still managed five pars and a birdie.

Yeah, it was impressive.  I can't believe that only one guy put it in the water on 17 today, especially considering how many guys I saw land it within a yard or two of the front edge of the island.

On a relatively calm day, it's just a 120-yard shot to a relatively large green.

Yeah, I noticed that from the camera behind the tee.  That green looks huge.  If you could block out that blue stuff around it - Harry Vardon in Greatest Game Ever Played style - I think it would be quite easy. ;)

The green is large. Honestly it isn't that imposing of a shot. I think the tee shot on 18 is much scarier than the tee shot on 17.

I suppose in the water on a par-5 and still making par is possible. I remember a few times in the past various players - Jose Coceres and Fred Couples come to mind - making par on #17 after hitting their first shot in the water.

Yep. Huge green. I've played it twice. Dunked it once, lipped out a 10 foot birdie the second time. Really, no reason for someone with their name on their bag to rinse a ball there! [quote name="iacas" url="/t/74374/2014-players-championship-discussion-thread/108#post_988435"][URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/97674/] [/URL] [COLOR=292F33]Justin Rose receives two-stroke penalty at Players on Saturday.[/COLOR] [/quote] I was REALLY surprised that he didn't wait for a ruling there. Dumb!

Yeah.  Don't think the word "scary" does it justice.  Terrifying is probably a tad more appropriate. ;)

      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.
