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

Wow. That may have been one of the most entertaining rounds of golf I've ever watched! :dance:

Agreed. I liked the Day/McIlroy pairing and wished Jason sank some of his many near misses to make the final group.

Yes ... it was.

Let's hope for a surprise ending tomorrow.

Very entertaining.

Rory is going to extremely tough to beat tomorrow. You get the feeling he probably played his worst round and yet he still shot 67. That's what Tiger used to. Tiger's worst round of the week was still most times still better than most anyone else's.

If Rory McIlroy is "new Tiger" than I think I am going to take a 20 year hiatus and start watching cricket. :beer:

Really? I love watching him. He's got tons of game and reminds me a lot of Tiger in his prime. Love his swing as well.

I'm with you. The game is better with a superstar. McIlroy could end up as one of the all time greats.

Just marvel at Rors' driving... uncanny.

How long can he take this driving streak at such high speed?

Phenomenal.

Something about him just rubs me the damn wrong way lol. Maybe I just don't want a short guy with curly hair being the best golfer in the world. Hahah jk jk. Then again I do like Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, John Daly, and Vijay Singh :-P

I just think the game thrives having a dominant player. And if it's Rory, it's Rory. At the very least I find him exciting to watch. He takes chances which I like. He goes for the gusto. That's why Phil is one of my favorites.To steal a quote from Tin Cup, "he goes for it."

As a spectator spectacle it just proves to me what I've always known, competition is the key to any sport. If it's competitive it becomes compelling, and the Tigeristas will either adapt or new followers will emerge.

It sounds listening to you lot though as if the PGA need to do some major work on the number of adverts that the broadcaster permits when they next sell the rights, and not to simply sell to the highest bidder. If you make any product unappealling to watch by continually disrupting the feed and killing the anticipation, you devalue it. Luckily we have legislation in place that governs the duration and frequency, even for commercial stations

Anyway, it looks like we might get a spectacle at last

After today's theatrics, the only thing missing was a healthy Tiger Woods.

Can you imagine today with a healthy and in playing shape Tiger driving a straightish ball...

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

The last time we entered a major week with a clear favorite, and then that guy went on to win the tournament handily, his name was Tiger. Rory's play is something else right now. Anyone's fantasy league going to put Rory rules in effect?

You wonder where this game from Weisberger is coming from. Outside of a couple 2nd place finishes in small Euro Tour events, he's not exactly been lighting it up:

To show you how rare it is, the last player not named Tiger Woods to win a major as the #1 player in the world was Fred Couples in 1992.

I missed Jason Day's par on the from nine from the swamp. Just saw recap. Holy crap!! Feherty found the ball (he was the only one slogging thru the high wet grass or it'd be lost ball), and gave Day the lift up the bank of the creek, barefoot and pants rolled up. The caddie throws the right club across the water to Day who then slogs a shot from the wet mess toward the green but again in the rough. Up and down from there. Simple!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
