No Tiger yet, one hour to his tee time. Every other player around his tee time has been there for a while.

Tigers been at the course for almost an hour, according to GC Tiger Tracker.

The glutes joke is never going to get old (to me anyway), so I am going to reserve the right to use it as often as possible (especially since it is still fresh in 2015 isn't it?). :) Furthermore, exc

But he is absolutely not shooting 65-65.

watch your weight way out on that limb there

Great, they will start showing Tiger once it goes on TV. How they don't show him for hole 1 , I don't get.

because there's more to the PGA and The Masters than TW?

What's the point of a marker playing with Stricker today?

They've always used markers for the single players on weekends as far I can remember.  Protect the field? Slows the pace of the player? Who knows>

If Rory could only have that front 9 back from yesterday, he'd be right up there. I feel like he played those first 27 holes with no sense of urgency, and you could see after he walked off 9 yesterday that smoke was coming out of his ears and he just said "F- it, I'm aiming at every flag from here on out and going to smash every drive." And he has.

Would be interested to see how Rory would do if he would have played at Houston last week. Ken Schofield said last night that Rory played the week before in all 4 of his major wins. Why wouldn't you use that same formula this week? It's not like he left Bay Hill playing great golf. I was really surprised he didn't play at all in Texas.

I won't be surprised if a few of the -2 and better guys shoot 65-66. They can be aggressive.

Eagle gets him to T8. Seemed like he was dead in the water for quite a while. -7 for his last 11 holes helps.

Look at the ratings. Wit out TW last year, worse Masters ratings in 50 yrs. hate to break the news to you, but Tiger is the PGA. Admit it or not, it's true.

Speith can win this tourney today, but if he slips these guys will go after him hard.

I get a feeling they will toughen this course up for tomorrow

It appears they set the course up for Scoring today. Fowler's -5 for the day, Koepka's -4, Westwood's -3, Poulter's -3, Reed's -3....and they still have the easy par-5s to play on the back.

Soft Augusta really doesn't make for interesting viewing. It's not the Humana Challenge.

I agree. Not a fan of it this year. But I don't think there's much the Committee can do. They have the subair system to dry out the greens, but they also need the weather to cooperate. And the weather's been so wet and humid there of late, the greens just haven't dried out to where they wanted them. Today's really the first dry day they've had in a while, but it's not going to flip a switch just like that and get hard and fast.

Rory's irons appear to be on today.  Looks like he is sticking everything around 10-15 feet.  if he could make some putts he could go quite low.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
