Tiger and Billy just did their first 9 in 1:35. That is a beautiful pace

[Crim]

Spieth birdies the first 2 holes, now onto the par 5....

4 stroke lead

Edit: i haven't gotten a chance to watch yet, but apparently Tiger chunked ANOTHER chip???

This is just bizarre.

UPDATE:

Spieth with 3 birdies in a row. 5 stroke lead.

[Crim]

Dude is sick. Apparently he vomited this morning on the range.

2 hours ago.

Lol, he's doing pretty good aside from that chunker. 3 birdies one bogey through 12.

I just enjoy the fact that he's under par on the day and I think it will be a nice little achievement if he can get back to under par by the end of the tournament.

[RFKFREAK]

Not a fan of his but Spieth is killing it.

I think he's got a 5 stroke lead and it feels likes it's his to lose.

Spieth is tossing bombs... Woods is sweating like a witch in Salem...

Throwing up before his round started probably didn't make him feel optimal.

[Crim]

Keegan doing just fine without anchoring the putter. 4 birdies in a row.

Call it Off Topic, but where does THAT awful simile come from?

Given that there were no witches in Salem, just innocent people murdered and tortured.

Okay.

Was gonna make the same statement, but I just figured to enjoy the golf coverage instead.

P.S. I can't help but read everything you type in the voice of a stern old man. lol, no offense at all

Tiger birdied the last 3 holes to shoot a 3 under 69.

[Gunther]

Tiger birdied the last 3 holes to shoot a 3 under 69.  :beer:

So, he'll lose only 3 or 4 to the leader today, that's progress.

This will no doubt make @colin007 ecstatic!

Spieth is an animal. 7 birdies....0 bogeys...so far.

And NBC just demonstrated why I'm not a fan of Spieth. They just equated him to Peyton Manning in football. Peyton's pro career has spanned over 15 years and they're speaking about Spieth as though he's accomplished in golf what Peyton has in pro football over a similar length of time. They just go so gaga and drool all over this kid that all it does is make me root against him so I don't have to hear it. Which, btw, was why I really enjoyed Bubba winning the Masters this year. I can only imagine what NBC/GC/CBS would do if Spieth had won the Masters. Hey, NBC, if you want to compare someone to Peyton, the only person in the golf world I can think of within the last thirty years is Tiger.

There's some fine logic.

You aren't a fan because of what others say.

BTW - I think I have Spieth at 29 birdies over his last 69 holes of tournament play.

Pretty much.  And I don't see anything illogical about that.
