Rose got influenced by a fan on a putt. Did not think these guys paid any attention to armchair warriors.

Chris, was it you who picked Jason Day to win and put $$ on it? Did you also pick Spieth for the Masters?

Yeah I have money on Day. Was actually pretty aggressive with it. Put 35 on him. I usually don't put that much on a player. I put $$ on Jordan at Augusta and Chambers. Also had Rory last year at Hoylake. So crossing my fingers for another pay day. Also had him in the contest here but only had him at -12. Not sure what others had.


Jason Day's 3 wood has to be one of my favourite swings in golf - would love to be able to have a swing half as good as that...

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

I just changed my post because I didn't want to jinx you. Hope you win.

Thanks. I hope so. I've had some really bad luck with car problems the last two weeks but this would balance it all out. So we'll see. With Spieth up there, anything can happen.


Its pretty cool Lahiri is doing so well. Young player, great exposure for India.

What happened to CBS coverage? It has gone to shit all in a year it seems. More commercials than golf. More sob stories than ESPN. More closeups of Nantz. More tech talk and science of the swing bullshit. WE WANT TO SEE GOLF.

Nah, he's got it. If he doesn't win, I'll change my picture to Robert Allenby for a month.

Looks like it'll be Rose if it's anyone at the moment - he's really finding his groove.

Whats crazy is if he was just a little better putter, he may be running away with this tournament. I've counted 4 putts today he should have holed.

Jordan's putting has let him down so far.

Looks like Day's day. :-D

    • 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.

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • 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.
