Much worse than that. I was me hitting the shots. 1968.

I'd feel pretty good right now if I'm Oosthuizen. Knowing that Johnson will struggle to make par on 17.

It's really too bad for golf that Oosthuizen cares more about his tractor than golf. He's so talented. Can't really blame the guy, though, if he has other passions.

Even more so, unless he holes a long one on the 2nd  terrible shot from 117 yards

Maybe the reason Oosthuizen is as good as he is is because he has other passions. Not everyone can live a one-track life. Even if he practiced or played more he wouldn't necessarily be a better player.

Why did I think the playoff was more holes? Wasn't it 3 or 4 when Tom Watson and Stewart Cink had one? I'm guessing it has since changed.

Doesn't he have back problems too?  If he played and practiced more his physical condition may be worse.

So when you need a par, you go for the 17th fairway. You reading this, Jordan?

It was 4 holes in 2009, same as 2004, 2002, '99 and '95.

I bet he goes for the 17th fairway if he played in Scotland last week and not the John Deere... :-P

Zach's in worse shape than Jason Day was. What happened to bravery? The Road Hole has played like a par 5 all week, and I don't think I've seen anyone hit their approach hole high.

Thanks. The leaderboard on pgatour.com had Zach listed as "winner" after two holes, so I thought he had won after two. I'm only able to follow it online at the moment (unless I'm missing something).

Zach is in really bad shape there. I wonder if he goes for a bogey. And I wonder if Louis and Leishman will have to play first? That could make the decision a lot easier for him.
