2015 WGC - Bridgestone Invitational Discussion Thread

Just to show how golf is witchcraft, Troy Merritt follows that 82 with a 75, then steadies himself with an even par 70.  17 over, DFL.  Last week he rolled in every putt he looked at.  He's probably wishing there was a cut this week as bad as he's going.  Still, he's into the PGA and Masters etc, plus a giant paycheck for winning.

Kuchar plays ranked table tennis pro, sneaks in a winnah!

I cannot remember an event where Jordan had no shot to win on Sunday, although I suspect he'll work his way into the top 10 or even top 5 by end of day.

Looks like it was probably the Byeon Nelson at the end of May. He finished T30, 11 strokes back. The 4 tourneys he's played since we're T3, 1,1,T4 ;)

I do remember that now, I went to the Sat round and he played his way out of it. He has had a dominant season, hopefully he's back in the saddle next week.

He's had a couple, at least, missed cuts this year. I never bet against Jordan but I don't think he'll work his way back today. He doesn't really have this course figured out or he's rusty.

Didn't he miss the cut at this years Players Championship?

Man Gmac needs to hit the treadmill or lay off the Guiness. Maybe get the Darren Clarke secret diet. He's gained quite a few LB's

I couldn't even look at Shane Lowry and his jiggly chest without thinking that he desperately needs a bra! It's just so shocking to see golfers who look like that these days when 90 plus percent of them are so fit.

Jordan wasn't really in contention at the Memorial either but had a big final day and that carried his momentum into the U.S. Open. If he has a good day today, I expect him to take that momentum and confidence to Whistling Straits. He won't win today, but it means a lot for next week.

Lord, these announcers are ridiculous. Wtf does mental energy even mean?? Like Spieth is the best player in the game right now; you don't need to make up some new age mystic bullshit to puff him up.

Pretty sure that's Samson Dubina.

Yet you could only dream of having the game that these jiggly chested players you speak of have. " Mickleson, Reed " It must suck being as fit as you are and not be able to take a full swing because of back problems.

Maybe, but that was before Byron Nelson and I stopped looking after I found the last one because well ...

Branded saying incorrect things on golf central again.

Yes, because my fitness and my golf game is really relevant when discussing professional golfers/athletes. But I realize that in this day of Donald Trump, personally attacking someone you disagree with rather than dealing with the issue(s) at hand is considered appropriate.

Perhaps I should be grateful I don't have Golf Channel. Jordan doesn't need "puffing up" but I'm guessing the announcers do. But nothing beats the absurdity of Tom Weiskopf at the US Open repeating -- at least 100 times during the coverage -- that "par is just a number." I swear I wanted to throw something at the television.

I'm guessing the black ribbon is for Louise Suggs? Haven't heard it referred to, can anyone confirm?

Is that the caddy that passed? I heard something a legendary caddy passing.
