Remove Gore's 2 bogeys and he is in the lead. If Casey had 2 more birdies he'd be in the lead. I'm rooting for Davis.

Lol, okay. Fine. Continue to act like a TRIPLE BOGEY is normal for a professional, and not a fluke hole. Continue to pretend he didn't birdie three holes in a row.

It's okay Tiger. You're still #1 in my heart. Make this putt just because, though.

Haha.

Maybe I should pretend that Davis didn't birdie 4 in a row and then eagle the next.

Dude, come on. Remove the random triple and he's 2 shots off the lead.


Dude come on. If Davis had a couple of those birdie puts back. He would have finished at -19 instead of -17. This is a fun game, your turn.

Which is more likely, a pro tripling a hole or birding it?

I'm rooting for Davis.


If you took away all of Pettersson's bogies for the last two rounds, he would have the lead at -20.

Yep golf is a fun game.

Looks like Davis has got this one.

As an aside,well done to David Horsey of England after winning the Danish Open on the European tour.

Incredible crowds in Copenhagen this week.

So if Eldrick would have chipped in on #11, would he have beaten DLIII in a playoff?


Even if he'd chipped in he wouldn't have made a play off.

I would've loved to see that play off though!

Happy for DL3, pretty historic win, even in a weak field. Would have been more historically significant for Tiger to get his 80th on the same course Snead did. But, I'll take it. Tiger not ready to win yet. This round will do some damage to his confidence; to fade in a field such as this must be baffling to him. I do believe he will win again, probably a couple times, in 2nd tier events. He'll start entering them more frequently to try to get to 83.

That would have been 4 less strokes (birdie vs. a triple bogey), and that wouldv'e put him at -17.

True but I doubt he'd have had those 4 birdies coming in if he was still in contention. He loosened up once he realized he was out of it, at least in my opinion.

Well, let's just say everything else would've remained the same.

I think it would've went to the 7th playoff hole, and then DL3 would've just been a little too tired to continue because he ran out of snack bars, and then he would've withdrawn.

If that pro is Tiger, I'd give it almost an even chance.

Not sure if this has been posted, but Woods apparently had been playing with a bad hip. If we were playing the Operation game, add another part of the body to the list.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
