After day one, Lowry and McIlroy are leading at -6. Luiten had a decent start and is at T12.

Two of the winners of other tournaments in the Final Series 2014 are on the bottom (Siem at +5, Koepka in last place at +6). Donald (+4) and Manassero and Poulter (+3) also with bad starts.

Henrik Stenson. 294 yards, over water, out of the rough. 3 wood.

Yea, but he landed it about 40 yards short of the pin. The water was another 10 yards behind that. His shot went 294 yards, but he landed the ball about 250.

The rough could have helped him if it was a flier lie as well. Launch it a bit higher with a tad less spin. Let it roll out more.

Stenson takes the lead after the second day after a solid -6 (-10 total). McIlory is in second place. Luiten shot a -3 and remains at T12 (-5) and still has chances to finish good here.

Ball below the feat. Hitting a fairway wood. Probably didn't want to thin the ball, so he dug after it a bit.

Yeah when pros hit shots like that it's usually with a fairway wood. I think the last one we saw like that was Stacy Lewis.

Geoff Shackelford said he topped it but it looks like he duffed it.

I think so to. Usually when you top a fairway wood it doesn't fly nearly as well as that. The roll on the face which takes off loft and how deep the club is, it is very hard to get any height on a fairway wood when topped.

I think he hit it slightly fat with some wet conditions. The announcer said it his foot could have slipped. I don't think it did. He just outright miss hit that shot.

WEIGHT FORWARD RORY, WEIGHT FORWARD! :whistle:

Just watched it again, his foot didn't slip. Golf is hard, I think there's a golf book that talks about that ;-)

I like this part of the description in that link:

Instead, he hits the weak fairway wood shot that is all-too-familiar to many of us amateur players. It usually happens to us after we've waited a few minutes for the group ahead to clear the green though.

Been there. Many times. :-$

Looked like he was trying to hit a cut, maybe came down a little too steep?

Nope, stuff happens. You compare that swing against a fairway wood that he purred and they'll look exactly the same. Hmmm, maybe a potential thread.

Just watched Justin Rose 'chili-dip' a short chip.  He was on an uphill lie and buried the club 3 inches behind ball.  Ball went 3 feet. Then he took a hybrid club and rolled it on. Close too.  Commentator was embarrassed that the world's #7 golfer would do such a thing.

He did that at the US Open or one of the other majors this year too.  Golf is hard.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
