Jason Day holes out from 60 yards for birdie, that was impressive.

After complaining about the hole, now he loves it ;-)

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

Wow.  And I was about to include a quote above in my carnage post when they caught Jason saying "That is a joke" as he watched his bunker shot roll down the hill 60 yards! Worked out ok for him, so it's not exactly carnage.

Note to Jason, don't hit it in the bunker and don't catch your bunker shot slightly thin.

I was there the last two days off of 10 and 1 grandstands.  A lot of good shots into 10, but everybody is leaving putts short.  I just wanted to yell down to phil to not leave it short, and what did he do? He left it short.  I shoulda yelled. haha!  Was fun, I could see Tiger on the range from the top of 1 grandstands (like half a mile away or so) with binoculars.  He looked great there at least.  There's lots of potential to play well there, just got to play those breaks correctly on the approach shots.  But the greens are certainly slower than expected to players it seems. I'm excited to see how D. Johnson will do today!

Anyone see that grimace from Tiger after his nice approach?  He was removing his glove gingerly to reveal a bandage on his left index finger. Have they mentioned an injured finger?

Blood blister from Memorial? An example of bumpy greens? https://vine.co/v/eiiZ2EZLduQ

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Wouldn't surprise me if he hurt something on his hand on the shot he lost/threw his club on yesterday.  Slow motion looked brutal on the club as well as the hands.  Plus he was hitting out of the junk all day.

Star power at the top is losing its luster. Getting the David summerhays, Branden Grace's, joist lootens and Ben Martins moving up to the top

Don't be hating on the Clemson/Greenville boy haha.  He's a solid player.

It's crazy how he has improved.  He was never a really good junior golfer (as in not one of the top 5 in the state), and only started being recruited by Clemson late in his HS career.  Then at Clemson he wasn't a guy expected to play much early on, but continued to improve.  One of his strengths is that he misses small.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but it's a great post anyway.

"But by the time his work was done for the day,(Bubba) Watson didn't want to talk about it. He declined a pooled request for a post-round interview, though later told the Associated Press: "We've been waiting all day. I just hit a bad shot. I'm not going to pout. We've all seen articles written about me that I'm a pouter. It's nothing new.""
Taken from http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-devil-ball-golf/bubba-watson-not-happy-with-the-pace-of-play-at-chambers-bay-214554506-golf.html

Just the fact he openly admits that he is a pouter makes me laugh!  Now I just need to find a quote from Poulter...
