I like the matchplay format for a change, but at the same time, maybe its not worth it. You have too many snoozers too deep into the tournament. This course also is kinda mehhhh.

GROUP 1 Rory McIlroy def. Jason Dufner, 5 & 4 Dufner matched McIlroy's birdie on the first hole Wednesday but that's about the only positive thing that happened for the American

Maybe it's me and I've missed something extraordinary but how does Anirban Lahiri get to 34 in the world? Something must be screwy with the OWGR.

I'm sorry, but this tournament is Dudsville. Seriously, either John Senden, Danny Willett, Timmy Fleetwood or Gary Woodland is going to be in the final? Going to be some thrilling golf tonight. I can't wait (sarcasm off). Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll at least get a Rory-Rickie semifinal tomorrow morning. If Rory weren't still alive, their ratings would be worse than the I Love Lucy re-runs on TV Land.

Yeah but they've played well and deserve it.

I think MAJ did the right thing in questioning the drop.  He was well within his rights.  What these guys were playing for is World Ranking Points and FedEx Cup points.  This could be important as I think bradley missed the four tournament playoffs last year by just a few points, but I didn't look it up and I don't have total recall.  Bradley and his caddie were the ones who started the melee.

Well I was wrong as usual.  Keegan easily made the tournament.  Something happened last year when he called a penalty on himself and he didn't move on as a result.  For some reason I am just not a Keegan fan.

Absolutely.

We're watching the top 64 players in the world.

Some disrespect being shown to the lesser known players...and it's Tommy Fleetwood not "Timmy".

OOPS!! I forgot again,it's all about ratings and not great golf.

"NBC on suicide watch" hahaha!

All about opinions of course and I respect all the opinions on here.

Someone should tell Keegen Bradley to stop having a game of tiddlywinks before every shot he plays.

"You want to delay us some more'was the key comment.And the caddie turning his back on Jimenez was very disrespectful.

They had a chance to square it away on 18 but it didn't happen. Never happen now.

Rory and Casey just teed off.

So assuming Rory wins today...he will have played close to 36 holes...hop on a jet immediately after his round and watch the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight ringside in Vegas.....take a jet immediately back to San Fran around 1 or 2 in the morning.....then tee off around 7 am tomorrow morning for another 36 holes of golf. Then of course he has to fly cross country tomorrow night to prepare for the Players. Good luck with that.

So what happens if he has to go extra holes tonight? Do they delay the Mayweather fight just for Rory?

From the PGA website regarding the Cadillac purse:

"The purse distribution for the event will be similar to past years, but payments for the players who do not advance beyond pool play will be based on the player’s record within the pool play round."

So there may some money involved in even the dullest of matches.  I have no idea of past years payout.

It worked the same way a stroke play purse would work if 64 players made the cut, and 32 finished T33, and another 16 finished T17, etc.

Just saw the Jiminez and Bradly spat, and read this thread.  I never liked either of these guys and am glad that hey failed to move to the next rounds.

NBC dropped the coverage at 11 and I don't have cable! Two putts to finish out the hole, they can't hold the coverage for two putts!? Maybe I was the only one watching as I'm clearly too cheap to order the fight.

No, they finished the hole. McIlroy lipped out and Casey lipped in. All square, play suspended till tomorrow.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
