Rory now tied for lead and has two reachable par-5s in the next 9 holes. Here's his chance to hit the gas pedal a little bit.

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

Just listening on my ipad to the PGA App........they were saying that there is definitely a difference how they mow the fairways.... At August they mow them Green to Tee whereas for the PGA, they mowed them Tee to Green. This most definitely will have an effect on play.

That's his job.

Sorry, I don't think that every comment that he makes to his caddie is intended as a complaint about the caddie.

Totally agree.  It's the type of relationship they have.  All caddies have different jobs.  Some read putts, some help with club selection, some are "yes men" and some are just sounding boards.  It works for them.  So what.

We don't have to like the way he talks, because he DOES sound like a whiny little you-know-what a lot of the time, but it's pretty clear that it's not DIRECTED at the caddie.

It would be amazing if Steve Stricker wins the PGA after being named Ryder Cup co-captain. I don't think he could do it, but I am certainly rooting for him.

It would be more amazing him winning the PGA with a torn labrum.

Hopefully he can get it it 9 or 10 under.

Really hope he goes on a tear over the next few years

I think scoring a little tough this morning with the rain. Nobody going super low...a few strong rounds out there (like Stricker) but not a lot. If it dries out later, guys this afternoon could have a field day.

Rory and Martin chatting with each other. Bubba chatting with the voices in his head.

Imagine if Rory stays on a tear and we get the Tiger from 2005 and 2006 back? Golf would be the best it ever was. Unfortunately, I don't see Tiger getting that form back.

Looking good for our lad Joost then?

I wouldn't mind if Rory wins again but I can't handle him running away with this one. Golf needs a good finish here on Sunday.

I'd still call that a good finish. YMMV

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
