Go Phil!

They didn't expect the wind to la down. Increase the wind to 15 mph and you won't get a 66, 5 mph more and 68 is the low score. If they were to make pin placement to hard based on zero wind and it picks up, guys will complain... Tough balance they have to pull off each week.

Yeah I understand the wind part....but the forecast yesterday called for no wind, so they should have been expecting it, and yet they used some pretty benign pins and didn't use all the back tees. I was really surprised. But players should demolish the course again today, and then tomorrow we'll see it play tough again with the wind forecast to blow pretty hard.

Rory looking sharp early on. He needs to have 65 in his mind. If he can shoot that, he's in the ballgame tomorrow.

[Duff McGee]

Eagle!!!!

[Runner]

Rory you beauty!!!

[ChrisP]

Rory may be thinking better than 65. He should take advantage of 6.

Tony Finau has 3 kids?

TV coverage onTNT was so enjoyable this morning when they kept cutting to someone hitting a shot or putting. Now we get the incessant ads, driving range cam, and other filler. Bleah.

[Duff McGee]

Tony Finau has 3 kids?

Very Mormon.

Late bloomer, but very talented. Hits it a mile.

Yeah I was thinking this as well.

It wasn't an insult. I have a huge amount of Mormon friends and Mormons do a ton of missionary work in the islands. Many Mormons have a lot of children at a very young age. There is nothing insensitive about that. Ask any Mormon you know and they will say the same thing. Having big families and getting married at a very young age is encouraged.

Late bloomer? He's younger than Rory! Jeez, Jordan Spieth has really clouded people's expectations.
