Dear Colin Montgomerie:

Think of it this way: Rory isn't trying to win three straight events, he's trying to win the PGA. And given how well he's played lately, he's got as good a chance to do that as anyone. To think that i

Crazy though it sounds, I agree

He'd keep the ball in the play, wouldn't take a backward step, knows Gleneagles better than his team, would take the crowd out of any game he played (ideal foil for Bubba)

I honestly don't think Tom would let America down in a foursomes match. In fact he'd be ideal in many regards, and if paired with a long hitter that side of his game could be counter-acted. If I were honest, I think I'd rather have my money Tom (if picked with the right partner) to bring the bacon back home ahead of quite a few of those who threatening to represent the US. As he says himself (sadly with no sense of irony) it's often the case that it's the strongest character and know how that wins these situations at the chalk face of match play. Not always the best golfer with the best stats

Should be a really great golf weekend. I mean you have Rory, Mickelson, Westwood, Stenson, Furyk, etc... all elite pros under par. I don't see Rory running away with this one, there's just too many golfers up there low. However, he is the favorite to win, no doubt about it.

McIlroy is still dialed in. He was one swing away from a 63. If he keeps hitting the fairways, then you might as well start engraving his name now. Stenson is the only guy up there I see that might be able to hang with him should Rory stay hot. Will be interesting to see how much Rory gets in tomorrow before the rain suspends play.

I hope it doesn't turn into the McIlroy up 3 on sunday while Furyk pars 16 of 18 holes. It will happen.

Only a matter of time before he shoots 62 in a major...or 59 in a regular tournament.

OK you can talk about ifs and buts, etc, but 65 with a double that took him out of bounds, plus a silly putt (he seemed more angry about that on the interview than he did the double) and he's all but there. You could of course point out that hundreds of golfers could score 62 if you started omitting their two worst holes etc fair enough

He shot a 63 at St Andrews, and a 61 at Portrush. I wouldn't be shocked to see him do something at Kingsbarns in the Dunhill. If it's calm in October, a 59 is on there, as was proved last year

What's the story on Bubba then? He needs to realise that very few sportsmen can pick fights with the fanbase, media, or authorities and enhance their performance. It drains them. Bubba's not mentally made of that kind of stuff. McEnroe he ain't. What he'll do is alienate people who'll then start giving him a hard time. I've no problem with 'goodies' and 'badies' that can add spice to any sport, but clowns? If you're going to play the villian you need to back it up, and you also need some darker charisma. It just doesn't suit Bubba

I dunno, I wouldn't be so fast to count Furyk out of the mix just yet. Still hoping Ricky can pull out a good round and be in contention on Sunday.

So happy he spanked Bubba today. I'm really starting to develop a serious hate-on for that ****ing clown.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I find him more exciting to watch than most other players though.

Nice.  I'm going to watch the replay after the Pirate game finishes.

With the way our Ryder Cup team is looking, he should pick himself.

That would be a better pick than Tiger right now. Hey, it is what it is.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.

      9 years and counting. Lil chipped paint here and there but still going strong. Also have an 18 deg driving iron that I got a couple of years ago which is doing well too. @iacastried it and I think he liked it.
