In the PGA:

drive for dough,

putt for dough

scramble for dough

chip for dough

etc etc

(every stroke counts in the end)

Jordan is the bigger story and attention grabber.  ESPN only cares about viewers.

TNT/CBS are probably the most depressed about Spieth not getting the Open.  They would have had HUGE ratings for the Grand Slam.

Drive for more dough.

Yes, only the PGA

and Baking competitions

I dunno, Zach is solid and it's his 2nd so I like that but goddamn, I was hoping for history today. Pretty disappointed. Love how JSpieth acquitted himself, no complaints there, just wistful...

Hell, even I was rooting for Jordan....

First three words on a golf book I can think of… ("Golf is hard." Not "Um… you do". :D)

@iacas , I have the unabridged edition.

Zach's a great wind player, and that came in handy this week, particularly today.

Btw, I think Zach and Jordan put to bed all those idiots who said playing the John Deere the week before is a bad prep for the Open.

Not necessarily...  Maybe Jordan runs away with the Open if he came over the week before.

Johnson has played the old course before so he doesn't really apply here.

But at the same time, playing the week before in Illinois surely didn't hurt them in any way like many thought it would.

Except for that he had 37 putts the 2nd day. He might have been better served coming over and getting more use to the greens. He was really pissed off with his putting this week.

Good stuff today. Sad I missed most of it. Good for ZJ, definitely in a new category. I think Jordan should be very proud of his result. Of course you want the W, but my lord this is one absolutely remarkable year for him at the majors. I'm sure he will be right there in Kohler, WI. Really disappointed with DJ. Not sure I'm gonna be picking him in any of my pools/draft kings/etc anymore. Really don't think he has what it takes between the ears. Its just sad, because he really could have 3-5 majors by now.
