Really Tiger? Woke up to find him go DB-Bogey. Also, Rory McIlroy's outfits are ****ing awful

Riley


I love ESPN's coverage overall, but why does it take them until his 5th hole to show DJ?? The guys is a top five American player and is two off the lead. Instead they show guys like Luke Donald who literally has zero chance of ever winning a major...makes no sense to me.

Yup I got to work early just to watch Tiger on the live stream and he does that?!?!?!

I guess Tiger forgot how to chip out of high grass (7th hole) -- it seemed like a weak effort.

"Put some back into it. Tiger."

But the putt... ok.

Because that was yesterday, and I just don't feel it happening today.  Trust me, I HOPE that I'm wrong.  His demeanor today seems totally different than yesterday.  I have a feeling that this could seriously be Sergio's time.

Not saying you're wrong, but it's just a guess. He showed yesterday that he could turn it around.

In my bag:

Really hope none of the leaders go low in the afternoon group...would be nice if the lead is 5 or 6 under by the end of the day and all the folks at even par or better will be in it this weekend.

Ugh, some kid yelled mashed potatoes.

Gosh, if Tiger wasn't +5 on the first two holes the first two days...

I know, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

No less inappropriate that shouting "in the hole" at a yardage where it's impossible, and likely to be a bit of rebuke for the Americans that keep doing it (as indeed the microphone just picked someone up doing so for Rory). It bought a smile to my face to read Golf Digests guide to the Open for American visitors this week

"American players always say that British galleries are the most knowledgable in the world. Golf Digest interpret to mean, "don't shout in the hole at a par 5"

I have a slightly different take on this, which is American players aren't so stupid as to come over to a foreign country and announce how much they hate their ignorant guests (only Ian Poulter does that). Ultimately golf is an indvidual sport and getting a gallery onside can make the difference (Faldo and Azinger anyone?). Azinger paid the penalty for his Kiawah antics, and whereas he cried at losing (as Faldo did at winning) there were no shortage of people quietly smiling at the karma

As regards "in the hole" - look it was moderately amusing the first time when it was used for John Daly who was ripping up the yardage book and seemingly lending the wags shout out a bit of currency, but don't you feel its worn a bit thin a quarter of a century later. Or perhaps people still think its funny, I don't know?


Is it odd that I like Rory...or at least want to like him...but I just really don't want to see him win?? Anybody else feel the same? There are just so many others I'd rather see win- Fowler, DJ, Phil, etc. Crazy that Rory would be one green jacket from completing the career slam if he wins this weekend.

I would prefer a tournament rather than a coronation, which is contrary to what ESPN wants. They're already salivating over a Rory McIlroy runaway, so they can proclaim him the world's dominant player. (I don't see him stretching out a big lead this weekend.)

Sergio ... so many emotional ups and downs ... seems to have settled down.

Would not mind if Sergio earned the title.

    • Day 211: putting work today on my mat. Worked on some feels to get my head to move less. Contact was improving.
    • Day 9: 2/15/2025 Spent several 5-10 minutes sessions today working on what I learned from Yoda yesterday. Pretty much a new priority piece. 
    • Day 25 (15 Feb 25) - A little background on today’s drill session.  On the way to band rehearsal this morning I was listening to the guys on PGA Tour radio in the golf school segment and they got to talking about short game practice.  As I love working that part of the game, my ears perked up.  They were talking taking multiple clubs and doing pitches/chips from the same distance and learning how each flies the ball.  So today was the start of the 8P54 drill (8i - Pw - 54°).   Set it up to hit two balls with each club from the same lie to a set distance.  It really helps envision what I should see in each club.  A sweet new twist to a fave drill.

    • I will most likely buy the TSR1 klineka mentioned, though they didn't respond when I asked the seller if they had the +6 weight. They only said the weight was the standard 9g. I contacted a couple of local pro shops, one said they would call Titleist on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday) for me to order a +6 weight, but the one said Titleist wouldn't have it anymore since it's an older model. Anyway, I will probably buy an aftermarket weight from eBay. Any concerns around aftermarket weight on eBay? They are not cheap, like around $15.
