Are they doing groups of 3 on Sundays throughout the entire season now?

Congrats to Pat Perez. Started the day tied for 55th and now tied for 18th. Talk about moving up the ladder.Nice round today.

Haven't watched a single stroke of golf from this tournament.  My way to countering the over-saturation of golf by the tour. Season is way too long. Got burned out last season, so my plan this year was not to watch until Phoenix/Cali tourneys then the FLA swing, then back off until Augusta and possibly watch RBC Hilton Head since I've gone to that tourney a couple of times.......then sporatically watch except World Golf Championhip and majors......if the pros take tournaments off, so will I.  Call it the Steve Stricker approach to following golf.

I'm sure you all wanted to know this information.

I'm glad they are getting their asses kicked this week. Good to seem them humble. Also, Jimmy Walker is damn good at this game. I like Spieth, but he still has bouts of immaturity to me. He doesn't take his time and seems to get distracted. Until that changes, I don't see him rising to the level he is expected to get to.

[Natural Patrick]

Yeah, I find the tournaments with the higher cut lines, a lot more fun to watch. I would like to see more golf where the winner is no more than 10 under par for the tournament.

G-Mac's been off all year. Just something not right with him. So not surprising he has an injury.

More than likely he strained the lateral ligament above the talus – common to NFL running backs. 5-7 days of rest. He’ll be ready for the Masters - he better. My wife likes this guy. When the CG gets distended it can be quite painful and troublesome. Many times it can be corrected via sitz bath, and a treatment of over the counter NSAIDs.

I wonder if he aggravated it stepping through the shaft on his putter? He putted his last couple holes using his wedge.

Where is he expected to get to?

He is now #4 in the world (having 8 top 10 finishes in his last 10 events)

I know a guy who made up an injury to get out of a tournament a few years ago and most recently chucked his 3 iron into a lake. He never got to the level he was expected to, plateauing at #1 in the world. Ah, what could've been if he'd just been more mature.
