Uh oh.  That doesn't sound good

He double bogey'd the 8th. And then birdied the 9th.

Makes the turn at +1. Could definitely be worse!

You should be proud regardless. You just used all three forms of the word "to" in a single sentence, and all properly.

Listen, fall back, take several seats because I can take you to school on this issue, so don't push your luck. Taking what I said as an insult to "your" country shows a certain level of ignorance on i

So Phil's fitness commitment is moving in the right direction.  Good for him, clear results.

Is this sarcasm or is he doing well?

Comeon', Tiger!!

Sure feels like the tour as a whole is playing much better. Yes, we have the occassional WD and guys start playing bad +5 day one and could care less day 2. Overall - it sure feels like many are going low and the amount of guys under par and competing is awesome...  Usually we have the crowd in the E - +3 range were now it is -1 - -3... 2 weeks ago too. GUys are all raising their games and you have to be extra special to win or even get a top 10

Tiger wishful thinking with 179 yard 9i comes up WTF short.

Maybe thought it was his 6i? :-P

No yips on that chip in for Tiger on 17. He's under par for the round! Didn't someone say earlier the wheels were coming off?

I didn't say the wheels are coming off, but I did say to expect a rusty performance this week. And from the looks of today, that's exactly what it is so far.

Eavesdropping on conversation between Ryan Palmer and G-Mac early this a.m......they were talking about the newest sensation Jordan Spieth....Palmer compared him to Fowler's hype over the last couple of years.  Didn't sound like Palmer believed Spieth "was the real thing" but kind of manufactured.  G-Mac seemed to agree and said he wasn't "into all that stuff".....to me, sounded like jealously on Palmer's part.  Kind of surprised to hear the conversation three holes into play......you'd think the would have other things on their mind.

Thats odd because Spieth at least has a Major to Rickie's goose egg. Spieth is definitely the real deal. He ain't goin away. I do still have a small glimmer of faith in Rickie however.

(I know you were just relaying what they were talking about....not coming at you lol)

I almost sounded like G-mac was saying he was happy to have someone get all the focus  - that he was happy with being in the shadows.  There's a lot of responsibility and pressure that goes with being the next great one . I'm sure many on tour are content not having to deal with all the demands - as long as they get their share w/ a win now and than.

Brandel with some (hilarious) insight as to why Tiger struggled so much today

Not sure what's so hilarious about it. I thought he was pretty spot on. He wasn't ridiculing Tiger. He was just pointing out that he's not as straight on his drives as he is his irons. I tend to agree with him. He's still not where he needs to be with his driver. Really needs to focus on getting that part of his game straightened out. That drive on 18 was bad and cost him a good round.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By yungbuck6 ·

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
