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

I reckon Mickelson at 10/1 is great value (despite all the rude things I've said about him)

Phil and Rickie would be the two capable of getting on a role, which you sense someone has to, but equally, I reckon I'd be prepared to lay Rory a bit bigger than some of the odds on prices. In any event, we've still got Ashley to run onto the tee pbox and pin him to the deck yet

The frightening thing though, is that he played poorly today and still returned the score that he did. It actually seems wrong that the course has allowed him to do that

This just in: @saevel25 is really PGA of America commissioner Ted Bishop. He fixed the PGA so he could snag some free balls.

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: [URL=http://www.owgr.com/en/Ranking/PlayerProfile.aspx?playerID=9531]www.owgr.com/en/Ranking/PlayerProfile.aspx?playerID=9531[/URL]

Anyone know what the record number of players hitting four rounds under 70 each is for a major? Currently nine left standing - including super Joost as the last one on the list

Absolutely no idea. I know the US Open has only had four, no idea about the PGA. Good find though, go Super Joost.

I picked Rory -17 at Hoylake and hit it right on the button (got DQ'd, though). That being said, I'm rooting for Rickie tomorrow because I got 12 bucks on him at 22-1 so I'm hoping he can rally.

No next time for me. I'm not doing any more contests. I was pretty heated after that. But if you have Rory at -17, your in great shape.

What's to lose doing another contest yo? It's not like you're betting money..

Phenomenal day today. A few guys could have easily shot lower scores than they did. Someone is going to shoot a low round tomorrow, so I don';t think this one is totally over just yet.

On a terrible side note. My putting cost me a really good score today. Missed two five footers and had two 18-20 footers come up one revolution short in the cup. You guys need to pray for me so that this doesn't repeat itself tomorrow! :bugout:

Speaking of betting $$, I actually took the money I won from betting Rory at Hoylake and put it to a new driver haha.

Would like to see them move tee times up an hour tomorrow. I thought theyd learn from the 2005 PGA Championship and the Players Championship (which they barely finished). A 60% chance of storms tomorrow with the last group going off at 3. Hopefully they dodge a bullet, but if there's a big storm that causes an hour delay, get ready for Monday golf.

The course is really favoring the long hitters and it's likely not to change given the weather report.  Would be fun to see Phil and Rickie catch Rory and see who's the best at throwing darts.

Man, I'm golfing tomorrow afternoon.  I guess I'll have to DVR it and avoid all sports radio on the way home.

I'll be in the same boat. Just have to avoid anyone until I get home... Plus I skip all the stupid commercials. Rory's driving is so stinking impressive. Putting drives in the middle of the middle of the middle of the fairway at will. Plus 340 yard shots make it even more amazing.

      Day 4 (12 Mar 26) - nine hole session with grandson - played along side him from most fwd tees with seven  club setup -D,7w, 5,7,9,55° and putter.  Worked with him on his green side approach play.  Had some great shot making opportunities on my own, best part was seeing him make solid swings.

      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.
