Happy someone made this thread. McDowell going for the three-peat! Both him and Victor have been playing horrible since the Ryder Cup. Hometown hero Victor looking good today, in the lead after 17 holes.

Great grouping with Kaymer, Victor, & Donaldson

Lol. Did Westwood and McDowell coordinate their clothes today?

There's something seriously wrong with Graeme McDowell since the Ryder Cup...

And McDowell squanders the hat trick opportunity shooting a +1 (72) in the first round and now a +7 (78) in the second.

He goes home early. If he continues to play like this he'll start falling to a Tiger Woods like world ranking.

In happier news, Victor Dubuisson JUST holed out at the par 4, 6th hole and has now taken a 2 stroke lead.

Victor & Kaymer in the same group fighting for the lead right. Both co-leading at -4.

This course plays tough.

Rafael Cabrera Bello looking to secure a spot at St. Andrews after a missed opportunity a few weeks ago in Ireland. In the clubhouse at -4, which likely will be the lead knowing how this course is playing.

This has been very enjoyable this morning. The Ryder Cup trio are fun to watch. Victor just putted in for birdie to get to -5.

Those guys didn't exactly kill that par five. I'm rooting for the Chilean, Aguilar.

That par 5 was like the worst most boring hole they've played all day, haha. Although watching Kaymer nearly fall was exciting.

Victor bogeys the 17th, looking like a good prediction!

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
