Maybe DJ needs to be well off the lead in the final round. Damn, that was tough today. Becoming the Weiskoph of his era? I'll go back to him on the tee times below, has the ability to shoot 64-65 and hope the weather takes a change for the worse for the leaders.

I'll be cheering on the ams and Jason Day to get his first, but if the kid gets the first 3 majors in a calendar year, I'll be perfectly fine with that.

12:25 p.m. — Jim Furyk, Dustin Johnson
12:35 p.m. — Marc Warren, Hideki Matuyama,
12:45 p.m. — Anthony Wall, Stewart Cink
1:00 p.m. — Patrick Reed, Ryan Palmer
1:10 p.m. — Rickie Fowler, Steven Bowditch
1:20 p.m. — Charl Schwartzel, Eddie Pepperell
1:30 p.m. — Danny Willett, Zach Johnson
1:40 p.m. — Adam Scott, Robert Streb
1:50 p.m. — Retief Goosen, Justin Rose
2:00 p.m. — Jordan Niebrugge (a), Sergio Garcia

I'm pulling for Spieth or DJ. If they tank, then Day. I know Padraig seems to be a good guy but he just irritates me with his slow play and rabbit ears.

Am I the only that notices how much less hype Jordan Spieth gets compared to Tiger Woods when he was his age? When Tiger came on the scene he absolutely dominated the sports and mainstream media. Now Jordan, damn near as close to anyone's been to a grand slam in 80+ years, gets a sliver of the attention. He is one good round away from matching Ben Hogan as the only player to hold the first three majors in The Masters era. He is closer than Tiger ever was to an actual slam.

I am pulling 100% for Jordan to make history. This run is something special,

All they've talked about for the last six months is Spieth. And Tiger did have a slam: he remains the only player to hold all 4 major titles simultaneously.

I am conflicted on this one. Some part of me wants to see Spieth go into the final major going for the grand slam. I also would like to see Jason Day win one after his gritty performance at the US Open. I also want to see an amateur win a major.


Boy, I gotta agree with you 100%

Tiger won six consecutive USGA tournaments. He won one of his first few starts as a pro. He was a minority. He won the Masters by 12 in his first pro major.

Jordan doesn't even have the lead in the third leg. It's been an impressive run, but… I think Jordan has gotten quite a bit of publicity and attention and hype. There are threads asking if he's the next "Tiger." He's being asked about the Grand Slam all the time. People criticized his choice to go win the John Deere because they thought it might limit his prep for the THIRD leg of his run at the calendar-year slam.

P.S. Tiger won the Grand Slam within about the last 15 years: .

Um...you do know that golf is hard, right?

That's true, but pretty much everybody shot good scores. DJ did not. I like DJ, but he's a little disappointing.

A ton of great storylines, but I have to say the thought of watching the PGA with a grand slam on the line for Spieth trumps the rest for me.

I like Day, and it would be great to see him win, but it would be a story that eventually fades.

A 22-year old amateur winning doesn't impress me much when a 21-year old kid holds the first two majors and is in line for his third.

Just to clarify, Paul Dunne won't be winning any prize money tomorrow, right? Even if he turns pro right after the tournament?

Yes. And he is turning pro right after the tournament… He's playing in the Canadian Open as a pro, I think.

Wow, that's kind of a bummer.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
