As bad as the tee shot was, that second shot was impressive.

Here's the poor tee shot

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

How so?

The line moves the more people bet on that outcome.

Common misconception. Vegas gambles too. There are plenty of times, for example in the NFL, where a line moves in the opposite direction. Vegas makes more than the vig.

Tiger struggling with <100 yards to get within 20 feet of hole. Not good for birdie ops

Do you think by this time next year the PGA will figure out that the "marquee group" that they should be showing is Johnson, Day and Fowler?

People want to see Tiger play, even if he is playing bad. I hope they do switch it though, I can't take the commentary after every bad shot. How come they are not showing all of Bradley's shots in slow motion with lines on his head, hips club. It's beyond annoying.

That's what I thought. Spiethismyhero has a strange thought process?

Patrick Reed has won 4 majors including 1 this year? Did I miss that? I guess so.

This is a thread about who is going to win the last major of the year. Patrick Reed fades in majors. Period. He'll fade again. The fact that he won 3 non-majors 2 years ago is completely irrelevant.

I don't understand your argument.  All they did was disagree with your assessment of Patrick Reed having already "faded away."  Why would one not having won 4 majors including one this year be proof that he has faded away?

Tiger is just not very good. It's odd to me that people still defend him at this point. What should we even consider mattering anymore? Tiger has set such a high standard. Being relevant on Sunday? At this point I'd just like to see him make a cut.

I've been saying all along that Tiger needs more tournament play.

He can't expect to just show up once in awhile and compete.

I hope he plays 20+ tournaments next year.  Wishful thinking...

I wonder if DJ can put it all together this week?

So far so good.  But then again he was good until the Sunday/Weekends at U.S. Open and the Open.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
