2015 WGC - Bridgestone Invitational Discussion Thread

[Natural Patrick]

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.

What are the issue(s) at hand that you are talking about ? Saying that a professional golfer needs to wear a bra ? That would not be considered  kind of personal ?

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

Ah, that's right. Thanks!

Ah, that's right. Thanks!

Full disclosure ... Until yesterday I had never heard of that woman. (Don't want to sound like Alex Trebek here;))

Go anybody except Bubba Watson!

Good final round by Spieth--66. That'll give him good momentum to Wisconsin.

Or it won't.

I like this.

Louise Suggs was one of the founders of the LPGA and one the greatest women to ever play the game. Won 61 tournaments I believe. She died the other day at age 91.

Pretty solid final round by Jordan. A few bad tee shots here and there and he would have been at the top of the leaderboard this weekend (of course, I realize you could say that about any of them). Considering how he's played this course before (never before under par) I don't think he has anything to be worried about.

Go Jordan. Can't wait to see him and all the others (except Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia) this week at the PGA.

Um....the announcer keeps talking about how Justin Rose is hitting the ball off of the putter's "heel" and how he "lacks compression" when he does that. Compression? :/

[ChrisP]

Or it won't.

Given his track record, the odds are there that it will. He's finished in the top-10 in his 3 previous tourneys before a major and we saw how those turned out.

Huge Lowry fan. Hes a guy that has a fun social media presence on facebook. Im going to the local Irish Fair right after this tourney is over...would be awesome if he can hold on here.

There was several times when he missed a putt that they said he hit it off the heel, but it didn't appear to be the case to me. The compression thing was just dumb as hell.

"Momentum" is bullshit with a guy like Spieth. He could have shot 83 today and it wouldn't mean shit. Or he could have shot 63 and it wouldn't mean shit. He's gonna be a favorite no matter what and has a remarkably annoying focus rebounding from bad shots or bad days or bad tournaments.

[Duff McGee]

I've never in my life heard someone talking about compressing the ball into a putter....and he kept saying it!

[Duff McGee]

Wish it would have gotten held up in the trees so we could have had a playoff.

Nice win for Lowry. He earned it!
