I have been putting quite a bit of practice in to trying to keep my left arm straight.  I have lots of shoulder turn.  When I film my swing I find that I still hinge my left arm on the backswing.  Does anyone have a drill or siggestion that I could use to help fix this problem ?

How much hinge?

A little should not be to big of a problem.

Something that could work is feeling like you're keeping your right arm as straight as possible. It of course won't stay straight, but it might help to keep the left arm from folding. If your left arm is folding there's a good chance the right arm is over folding past 90°

      A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.

      Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.

      I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?

      The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous

      I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.
