Fair enough, he's an average putter. Certainly not a horrible putter.

At 120+ in strokes gained he is more towards the bottom of the pack actually.. So, yeah compared to the average tour pro he has a glaring weakness. He is doing what he is doing because of his long game and iron play and if he starts getting his putting better than average or let's say in the top 25 he might be unbeatable..

These guys are going to have a rough last 6 or 7 holes here. You've got that brutal storm coming in, you're going to get very little sleep tonight...winds supposed to tropical storm force in the morning. The wind is what killed Tiger Woods' grand slam chances...it may be killing Jordan's as well.

I'm sure Danny Willett is hoping for the wind to pick up and stay blowing hard until about 10 minutes before he tees off tomorrow.

No wonder that sweater was so damn ugly. It's ancient. I understand sentimentalism but yuck.

Sir Nick should be proud he can still fit into a 25-year-old sweater. I can't say that (I was a toddler then, but still).

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

He's having a hard time putting with the wind today. Not that he's struck it poorly....he's just not putting well and I think that's where experience hurts him.

That's absurd. The only thing I can think of that might be more perplexing than that would be if there were, say, any posters here who didn't even play golf.

I don't really think it's absurd because from what I've noticed, if they haven't played much in the States, many guys over there haven't heard of them .. I think a lot don't bother with golf outside the States cept for majors ...

Damn Stewart Cink....why did you have to ruin Turnberry in 2009.

(I know that might not be the right thing to say.....but I know it's what a lot of people think inside their heads).

Hey now....it's an important putt for him. He wants to make sure he doesn't finish in last place. I commend Tiger's decision.

You leave Stewart Cink alone, I'm sure he's a perfectly nice man!

He's turning into David Duval. To make matters worse, David Duval is kicking Tiger's ass by five shots.

it's almost hard to accept that it's Tom Watson's last time at The Open...    truly a great ambassador to the game

Its not just his last time at the old course

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
