I'm not able to tell if (1) if he truly believes he is hitting it well; (2) he knows he's got issues but is trying to keep thinking positively, to the point of being unrealistic, or (3) he's tired of the media pointing out problems and he's knee-jerk reacting in almost Belichickian defiance.  No matter which one, nice rounds at comfortable, forgiving courses like Greenbrier and RTJ provide false sense of improvement.

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

Well, that's assuming the leaders don't go lower. Tiger needs 65 or less or he's done. Or do you mean just to make the cut?

More to make the cut, but imo if you make the cut you can get in contention Sunday with two good rounds. Of course, Tiger hasn't shown that yet.

A lot of surprising names up there this week. Not sure where Scott Piercy came from. Didn't know he was still even playing golf.

He just won the Barbasol a few weeks ago. But til then, he'd been hovering in and out of top 100:

The announcers on PGA.com are so in the bag for Spieth it's absolutely nauseating. They're falling over each fawning over him. Makes me want to vomit.

Thanks for the graphic. Didn't even pay attention to the Barbasol. Forgot they played an event opposite the British. Wow what is this Lingmerth on? Another birdie? Damn was thinking about putting a couple bucks on him but thought his length would hinder him. What would suck for the guys this morning is if it storms this afternoon like they're forecasting and they get to play the course after in soft conditions. That'd be the ultimate backslap.

Remember, it is not Spieth's fault ... it is the announcer's issues.

Same as Tiger ... he can't help it when they spend waste time on him.

It's almost like Ian Baker-Finch. Why I can't stand him. He fawns over every player. He's basically the Jon Gruden of golf, except he's not as cool.

We're seeing what life is like for Jordan Spieth when he actually doesn't putt well. Missing a lot of makeable birdie putts the last couple days that he usually makes with his eyes closed.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Oh, I know it's not his fault but Johnson is having a great round so far and they're pretty much glossing over him.

I think Spieth gets a little star struck at times with certain players. Just a perception.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
