Did anyone else hear that noise during Scott Piercy's swing?

Pitching wedges into par 5s? Come on PGA. You can make the course tougher than this. I might be able to go under par here.

It probably doesn't hurt that he hit his drive 380.

It's not just him. Guys have been hitting short irons in there all day. Thank God we're going to get some wind tomorrow or else 20-under would be in serious play. I don't mind good scoring, but this is a little too easy for my taste. It's a major. I want to see some carnage every now and then.

Dammit Jason Day is ripping this place apart.

Spieth and Day!

Think your right, and if the weather is to be low wind tomorrow, they are going to make the pin placements horrible, best putter will win it. Speith,,,

Yeah but, you would not do much for the tv ratings. Being a no name and all.

I could care less about tv ratings. I don't work at CBS. I care about Jason Day winning. I have a $500 ticket waiting for me if he wins.


Damn Jason Day would have been my gambling pick. Didn't even think about betting these tournaments.

Day will likely get to -17 by the end of the day. Jones, Finau, and Rose really need a few more birdies.

Go Jason day!

I feel like I'm watching the John Deere Classic with this scoring.

Round 1 scoring average: 74.15

Round 2 scoring average: 72.94

Round 3 scoring average: 70.71 (so far)

Players on average more than 2 strokes better than yesterday, but these guys made the cut unlike all yesterday.

I figured D.J. Was way behind considering lack of coverage today. Weird that he wasn't covered very much at 9 under...

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
