Number 8 looks brutal 276 yard par 3. With just two par 5's and very long par 3's I don't think they are going to have the easy walk around Cherry Hills others do.

Everyone is just absolutely CRUSHING the ball so far. The driving average on the first couple holes for everyone has to be over 320. Something about that high altitude mumbo jumbo, I wasn't really paying attention.

Someone might shoot 59.

It would be interesting to see a summary of what club the pros are using there

My guess is everything from 3w to long irons. They don't all have Rory's length. I heard the guys calling it say they were hitting 6-7i on the 199 yard par 3 on the front and that the longer guys may use an 8. They seem kind of puzzled at times, I see shots landing short.

Gary Woodland is playing well, but man, he always looks so tense standing over short-ish putts.

I'm curious, how do most instructors feel about the stall in between the backswing and downswing that a few players have. Chris Kirk and Hideki Matsuyama for example.

Jason Day rubbing his lower back a lot.  Just a personal tick?  or maybe he strained it..

Webb +3. Mahan +5. Reed +6. Meanwhile, McIlroy, Kaymer and Rose are rolling. And people wonder why we are such big underdogs at the end of the month.

Cherry Hills didn't give up much. The golf gaggle guys dang near equated it to a putt putt contest a day ago. Greens and roughl ooked brutal. Pooring rain tonight so could be different.

Anybody else dissapointed yesterday when they turned on the tournament and saw a standard east of the Mississippi looking park layout?? I'm well aware not all of CO is dramatic mountain vistas but I figured if they were going to move the tournament out there, then it was going to be for a beautiful mountain course. Of all the great courses in that state, seems like they could have chosen a better and more scenic course than one in the south suburbs of Denver.

No. But I've seen Cherry Hills before.

    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
