I mean, we have to remember that Spieth himself got a bit tight on 17.  Awful tee shot and missed a short bogey putt.  It's just always more memorable on the 18th. But look at what Spieth has done here.  It's pretty incredible.  Could be him and Rory in a 10+ year battle.

Yeah, granted Spieth had an easier eagle putt than DJ but Spieth played it smart and went for it but made sure to leave himself a tap in birdie. DJ's eagle putt was a wtf is he's doing moment. He saw how far Day's putt went past the hole just a few minutes earlier

Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

Maybe DJ should look into AimPoint. 3 putting from 12'4" is a brutal way to lose a major.

From 12', on 3% slope, I have a 35 inch read. Not sure if that was a 4% slope on that putt. His ball was able to sit there on that slope, I doubt it was in the 4%+ range.

Spieth > McIlroy ?

Exciting final 9 holes overall, but sad to see anyone 3 putt from 12 feet to lose. DJ will have a tough time getting over this one. Probably won't.

People were saying that golf was dying because of Tiger Woods poor play.  After what we saw tonight, a lot of people are going to be saying Tiger who?

Tiger who. Your a funny guy. But things are very exciting in the world of goLF no doubt.

Agree. But Jordan is the best putter in the world. I might not be surprised if Spieth passes Rory.

Awe He has to be shock. He just seemed to "so what" afterwards. It will hit him at some point.

Correct. But we may actually see a true rivalry develop with these two. Would be good for the game with Tiger fading from the picture.

Spieth has four total PGA tour wins.  And McIlroy is five years older.

I'm not ready to put Spieth ahead of him, but I'd say they're equals right now.  Obviously Rory has something that Spieth never will, and that's a power game.

I think you are ignoring the fact that Rory has played a few more years and events, though between them they have won the last 4 majors.

The tour needs this rivalry to develop, it adds to the fans excitement and will create a natural PGA tour vs Euro tour rivalry which isn't a bad thing.

Players play, tough players win!

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
