Great tournament! Speith gets #2, which pleases me greatly. Might be in line for a major this year. Say what you will about Reed...dude is a stud.

Insane shot by those guys... Great tourney.

Missed on my prediction. Enjoyable tournament. Glad Tampa got a good finish again (good finishes over the last couple of years, if I recall correctly) - and a the future and now current star of the PGA tour as its winner.....Tiger never played in this tournament....maybe today's winner will continue to play the tourney out of loyalty.

Was at the tournament today. I am literally walking distance from Innisbrook and it was an awesome finish. Despite the ratings being low because of no Tiger, the tournaments this year have been spectacular. Unbelievable finishes and great leaderboards. Lot of star power up there. The last 4 weeks you've had four of the best finishes you'll see. Great stuff. Hopefully this is a pre-cursor for a great Masters because last year was a bit 'blaah'.

O'Hair really could have benefited most with a win yesterday -  kind of disappointed that he couldn't convert on his opportunity - hopefully he'll get a chance again in the future.

You know Arnie's happy about his grandson's play recently - very proud, I'm sure.

That was a really entertaining finish. Great golf all around down the stretch.

Indeed, fantastic Sunday. Congrats to Jordan Spieth. Jordan + Reed will be the two young guys that can give Rory the fits.

Took me a minute to figure out that trophy.  At first sight i was sure it was an old straight razor strop. But why?

Given the sponsor i can now see what is probably depicted.

Where/when is the Sherwin-Williams tourney?

I'll be watching Selection Sunday.


Typical for a Kalifornia attitude.

Uhhhh…?

I don't know what you're talking about, but I know I've heard enough of it. Thanks.

+1.  That last chip that Reed made out of the deep rough was sick.

Great tournament.

A lot of playoffs tis season. Great stuff. Yesterday was the best by far.

I was really pulling for O'Hair. He has a tough road back and a win would have gone a long way.

VJ made a pretty good showing.

My kid started laughing when she saw his name - commented "really?  VJ?  Vee Jay Jay?"

I can't undo it now.   I see it every time.

"VJJ is playing a little tight today"

"VJJ needs to loosen up a bit"

and so forth

Good finish, though I don't get a great vibe from Reed (I don't like fat guys winning for some reason), but Jordan needed to make that last putt as Reed was going to hit a green at some point - impressive up and downs every time on the playoffs.  You just can't let Spieth have 3 birdie chances and keep up even with great chips and sandies.

Wow- missed that. You really think of Spieth like that. In my opinion you just missed two of the best American players in the game to watch what? Over-hyped college basketball tournament show? Got your priorities wrong, son.

    • Just curious, why don't you usually hit driver there? Downwind would typically help keep it a bit straighter, and it seems like laying back some would bring that right fairway bunker into play, right? Looks like the only penalty stroke hazard would potentially be way left, right?
    • We liking BDC yet? Nope. I actually tried but who was I kidding? Can't get over the fact that he works for MBS. Entertaining, autograph signer/influencer extraordinaire, whatever.. Can't forget that the end of the day he chose the wrong side of history. 
    • No, I get that. If I can get my arms to go up more, it way less likely for them to carry on around me. Less likely chance for my right arm to do stupid stuff.  In general, I need to be able to stop the swing short of A4.
    • Day 9. Worked on setup and backswing at the gym. Getting pretty frustrated with my hip. May try full swings tomorrow. 
    • Shot of the Week for me was definitely this drive that set up my second birdie of the back 9 yesterday. It’s a longer par 4 but usually the prevailing wind is with you (the slightly longer hole to the right is a par 5 that usually plays into the wind). I don’t usually hit driver on this hole and honestly couldn’t think of the last time I did when I was standing on the tee. Yesterday, the wind was in the opposite direction so I had to hit into a headwind. I decided I’d need the extra length with driver on the tee and absolutely piped it. It was perfectly launched with low spin that just penetrated through the wind. Technically the approach shot was worth more in SG (I hit it inside 4’), but this drive set up the entire hole.
