I know, its a little early to be starting this type of thread, but I have a buddy interning there sending me pics every day.  Hyped is an under statement.  I'm fortunate enough to have tix to all 4 days.

Rory listed as pretty strong favorite at 7-1, second only to Spieth (11-2).  Interested to see if he's healthy enough to be a contender come August.

Anyone know much about Whistling Straights? Definitely one of the coolest tournament logos recently:

Right, that's why he finished runner-up in a playoff the last time this tournament was played here.

Jordan Spieth went to Catholic School and graduated from a prep school and has probably been a wonderkid in golf ever since his talents were recognized as a kid. Richard Sherman is from Compton

Quick grandstand pic.

Leaderboard on the course is already chirping ZJ: "Congrats, Zach.  Not bad.  Good luck at the Straights though."

Rory scheduled a practice round for Saturday.  We'll hopefully get some sort of update on the ankle

Wow that's great news that he's at least going to give it a try with a practice round. That's encouraging news. A sign that he's not that far away. My guess is that IF he does play, he won't play anymore until The Duetsche Bank and then The TOUR.

Yep looks like he's going to give it a go.

I'm surprised, the way they were talking last week Faldo thought he'd be out for the rest of the season.  I hope he's okay and doesn't end up re-injuring it or something else because he rushed back.

I figured he would as soon as it was rumored it was a 6-8 week injury. At his age, his workout routine and probably the physio work he got, 6-8 weeks means he can be ready to go in 5, and this weekend will be the 4-week mark since he ruptured it and the 5th will be the PGA.

I think if this was the US Open, he'd more likely to sit it out, but given it's the PGA and the next major isn't for another 7 months, he probably feels "it's good enough" to where he can get through this tournament and then possibly shut it down for the year.

I can see it now...Rory limping down the 18th with a broken le...umm ruptured ligament on Sunday with a chance to pull off the improbable victory. :-D

I'm excited for him to be back. He was having a really good year before his injury.

Question...can the pros use a cart when they play a practice round? Does it make a difference if it's before the week of the tournament?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
