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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
