2015 The Honda Classic Discussion Thread

GC Morning Drive was really talking up Patrick Reed this morning.  I guess with Rory out of it and Phil being so inconsistent this year, Reed is the guy that's going to get the hype.  Reed moves the needle a bit in that he's controversial so it makes sense to push him given the current leaderboard.

Your definition of "moves the needle" and mine are apparently very, very different. :)

Either that or we differ on the definition of "a bit." I would define it as at least noticeable. :)

Also possible that your definitions of "Reed" or "in that" might differ as well.

I meant it as he moves the needle more than Harrington, Steele, Donald, Knox, Herman, Flores or Summerhays.  Poulter is a good heel during the Ryder Cup but not sure anyone cares about him otherwise here in the US.  Phil is obviously the guy they want to see get closer to the top but I don't get the impression they have much confidence in him to win.

This is on #3 (par-5) from Friday's round. Dustin Johnson hit his tee shot in the water. He is discussing his drop with the rules official. His next shot ricocheted off a palm tree back into the water again. After a second drop, he made it to the green and 2-putted for a double.

I'm with ya .... I find Reed to be pretty interesting. I don't know that many others do but I do.

I had a great day with friends and family today at the Tuesday Practice Round of the Honda Classic. We arrived early since I live about five minutes away. Sadly however, my phone died real fast. I was getting bombarded by texts all day long, and taking pictures and filming videos certainly wasn't helping things. But here's what I got. I really just followed Kaymer, Sergio, and Thomas Bjorn around. I never saw Fowler, McIlroy or Phil anywhere, but we left around 12:30, so maybe they got there in the afternoon.  Getting in early though was great. We basically had the place to ourselves for about an hour or two before people started to show up.  [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114885/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114886/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114887/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114888/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114889/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114890/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114891/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114892/] [/URL] [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/114893/] [/URL] Damn it… I probably shouldn't have held the camera vertically for these videos. Oh well. They look better on my phone :-D :doh: Following Kaymer to the 10th tee: Sergio and Kaymer teeing off. Sergio BOMBED his. Kaymer faded it too much into the right rough. This was some kid named Carlos Ortiz. He was playing with Kaymer-Sergio-Bjorn so I got this one of him. Kaymer-Bjorn pitch shots, rear view. Aaaaaaand, then I got nervous my phone was going to die, and I kind of needed it to work for the next few hours. All in all, it was a great day. So much fun. Sergio attacked a gator on no.17, hitting it on the nose with his sand wedge. Not even kidding. It was hilarious. Wish I got that on video.

Very cool! Weather looks gorgeous too that day

Anybody know if they are intending to try and get in 36 today? Or is that a fruitless endeavor and they're dinishing tomorrow?

[Silent]

I read on the PGA Tour site they play the final round tomorrow.

I guess I was wrong. I see tee times now for round 4 later today.

[Silent]

Come on people (CBS?), give my boy Luiten some airtime as well. Best round of the day so far, and inside the top 10 now. 1st in GIR as well if I'm not mistaken.

[colin007]

They'll start round 4 today and it'll finish mañana.

This is a fun tournament to watch for me personally. I didnt think id be watching much with Rory missing the cut. But I like Reed, love Paddy, & hate Poulter. Theres lots for me to cheer and boooo at. Oh yeah and JOOOOOST is in the top 10!

And Joost just started his 4th round. Hope for some more airtime (or better: airtime at all).

[Valleygolfer]

Harrington's putting has been holding him back for quite a while...

[Silent]

Poulter 3 strokes ahead. Is it going to be his first PGA stroke play win?

And Joost just started his 4th round. Hope for some more airtime (or better: airtime at all).

Glad they listenend to me.

Phil just marked his 1st tee hit for the 4th round with a tee, then removed and cleaned and then placed ball back in not the same position in relation to tee in ground, as a newer golfer - I am not sure why or what was allowed there...

[Valleygolfer]

Ouch.... Shank...
