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

"Phil on the 10th...where he started the tournament on Thursday."

Gosh thanks for that riveting insight, Nantz.

The perfect ending to a major is going to be spoiled because they couldn't just check the weather forecast and move tee times forward. They should have taken note from The Open

Absolutely correct. Ruins it.

He still has 9 holes to play :-) I wouldn't say everyone loves Phil, there are a few guys on here that can't stand him. I root for him, I think he's fun to watch and part of it is probably a California thing but I can see how some think he comes off douchey.

Any names? I'd like to send them a cupcake..:-D..I dunno if it's a location thing. I've lived out here all my life and i'd rather root for a guy in Finland :-)

2:20 to play the front nine. These guys are going to be flirting with daylight. Not sure the last group's gonna make it. May not matter anyways for them. Rory's one bogey away from being left out of the party.

McIlroy missing a green with a 9 iron. He's done

Announcers said he played that shot that way intentionally; Rory expected it to pop out of the rough.

Henrik Stenson is ready to win a major. Might not be the most popular guy, but he is the best golfer out there without a major championship.

Ilonen is tied for fourth with McIroy, but as far as the TV coverage is concerned he may as well have stayed at home.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

I wouldn't say everyone loves Phil, there are a few guys on here that can't stand him. I root for him, I think he's fun to watch and part of it is probably a California thing but I can see how some think he comes off douchey.

There's something about him that makes me bristle a bit, but by the same token he's rarely done much that I can say I find obnoxious. I don't dislike, but neither do i like him, I just find a bit phoney and a little bit too manufactured.

Having said that, I did back at 10/1 this morning figuring that the McIlroy group would underperform, and that the winner would likely come from Mickelson and Fwlers pairing roared home by a local crowd. Right now though, i think Rickey's got the better game

Interestingly, and it might be a portent, but McGinlay has remarked how much difference a supportive crowd is making to Rickey and Phil once you can engage them .... urm ... I wonder if a few mischievous press releases and supportive stories are being lined up to stir the savage highlanders at Gleneagles (OK Gleneagles isn't really in the heart of the Highlands)

Would be a great story if Stenson wins with a 62....nobody's ever gone below a 63 in any major championship. An amazing stat that's stood throughout history.

He's a good golfer, but he's not the best without one. Sergio and Lee would take that IMO.

They were at one time. I'm talking about overall talent right now. Sergio might be the only one I'd argue over him.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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.
