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

I don't know that its easy in general. The soft conditions sure as hell make it easier. Its a pretty daunting looking course but if you make the right decisions, especially with these conditions, its very scoreable. I would like it toughened for a return.

I was being facetious.

Sacrilege, I know, but that is exactly my feeling with Spieth. Boring as hell.

Hey man to each their own. Spieth doesnt get me overly excited. I think if Spieth didnt have 2 majors, I would root for Rose over him if not for Day.

I do think #6 needs beefed up a bit. I like reachable par 4s, they make for great excitement but #6 is a little too easy for these guys. Yardage is fine but maybe the bail out area to the left should be a nasty bunker or something.

Also these greens dont have a ton of break to them. You don't see many putts where there's 5 or 6 feet of break where you see at Augusta or even at Chambers. Most are pretty straight. That's why you see so many guys making everything inside of 10 feet this week.

While I may be dumb, this is playing easy right now.

True. Good point.

Well hopefully Baltustrol tickles more people's fancy. Its more traditional and in 05, Phil won at -4.

Seems to me that scoring is so low because the greens are so damn nice. Everything is true, balls stop on them well, and the breaks are easy to read in comparison to other courses. Doesn't seem like an easy course, just really favorable greens conditions.

The frequent commercial breaks are driving me crazy. They legit came back from commercial for Jason Day's drive, then back to commercial just now.

Course is kind of designed for feast or famine. If you're in control of your ball, you'll get plenty of looks at birdie. Not a course you can scramble your way around.

Feels like they're not giving Grace that much coverage considering he's nipping at Day's heels. I'm multitasking though, not giving the broadcast full attention.

I'm like Grace a lot. Been a fan since he won those three tourneys in a row on the Euro Tour a few years ago. Glad to see him doing good work on the PGA... Aaaaaaaand he just made a huge mistake. Well.

He is in big trouble now. We spoke too soon. Day with a chance for a par.

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Beastie ·

      It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
