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

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

Wait can we admit that here?


I will for sure. I cry at every emotional event. Son loses his father, mom sacrifices to give him a better life? Shit. Losing his dad was enough to make cry/near-cry.

He did not appear to be in the postgame interview. He just became world number 1. I don't think he's too upset.


I think he knows world golf rankings don't mean shit.Media hype,gives the talking heads something to blabber about.

He'd rather have had the Major.

Well done Jason Day.

You're under estimating the importance and weight of the #1 ranking. Imagine: you are the best in your field, one that comprises millions. That's pretty awesome.

Well done Jason Day.

I disagree. Becoming world number 1 is a massive achievement. He also said in the interview becoming world number 1 was a personal goal. Yes he would rather have the major, but I would think the Open Championship was more gut wrenching for Spieth than this one.

Congrats to Lahiri. Top 5 best ever finish for a player from India. Top 10 for Finau although he faded. Keep it up!

This. :-$

In tennis, players usually acknowledge a good shot with the combo racquet - hand clap. All the time. You never hear John McEnroe saying what an amazing sport the player is for doing that.

Spieth already admitted he is ecstatic about becoming world #1 and that his focus had already shifted to that goal once he knew Day had it wrapped up and that he is very happy right now

Yelling after tee shots is one thing, but ... for the life of me, I don't understand ADULTS who insist on trying to touch famous people. It's weird and it's borderline creepy . Pretty sure if I was a pro golfer I'll deal with the bababooies if I can get rid of the constant roaming hands.

I'll say it is down right creepy. Just don't get it. Congrats to JD. He's been knocking at the door of Majors far too long not to win one.

Haha.

I wonder who else noticed Lalaaana's post.

They should have just given the Wannamaker to Spieth for good sportsmanship.Talk about sour grapes.

I don't think it's an act. But I do find it hilarious that the smallest act of sportsmanship becomes so big because people want Speith on a pedestal.

The media puts him on a pedestal, he himself doesn't. I don't take what the media says about him out on him personally. Same goes with Tiger and Rory when they went gaga over them.

Totally agree. I put 0 of this on Spieth.

      Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad.

      Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
