Well, I am really hoping I have time to watch Saturday and Sunday's action this weekend. This tournament is really a treat for golf fans, as there are so many top players playing the week before the U.S. Open. And it's being played at one of my personal favorite golf courses, Congressional.

I picked Retief Goosen in my preview, and I'll stick by him to have a great weekend and get into contention. Ernie Els won at Congressional in 1997, and he is only three shots off the lead right now. So he will be tough to beat.

But honestly, I think Adam Scott will win this thing. He has won The Players Championship before, so he knows how to deal with pressure. I think he is the one to beat at the top...Along with Ernie Els of course..

So much for Goosen being my pick to win it huh? What an awful round he had Saturday to move way down the leaderboard.. I guess a triple bogey on 10 never helps anyone.

But with that being said, there are so many big names at the top of the leaderboard. This final round is shaping up to be very fun for a spectator..

Sergio didn't win this tournament, those guys all handed it to him on a plate. I was pissed off by that, especially with Els. It would have been exciting to see if he could have held out if someone had put pressure on him.

Sorry King, but were you watching different tournament ? A dude nails a 65 in a final round of a PGA Tour event and you say he didn't win it ???? I'm a big Ernie's fan, but gotta give credit where credit's due

I agree with Raf. Sergio won it. If his nines had been reversed, there'd be no doubt, but he shot out to an early lead and then held it despite making some bad swings coming in.

Adam Scott is the one I thought really kinda wilted away. He had his chances, then failed to do much with them. He stayed even par or two or three back the entire back nine. BIRDIE some holes, man!

He played well, I agree, holing out some amazing putts. But that is easier to do when the guys chasing are not putting pressure on you. That's what I meant by handing it to him.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
