Ryan Moore is trying to win the event for the 3rd time in a row. He shot -5, 67 today.

Scott Piercy’s bogey-free 62 in the first round of the CIMB Classic was one shy of tying his career-best round in relation to par on the PGA TOUR. He fired an 11-under 61 in the third round of the 2011 Barracuda Championship, including an eagle on the final hole. He went on earn his first TOUR win that week.

There was one constant in those two low rounds: his putting was spot on. The three-time TOUR winner needed just 23 putts at Montreux Golf and Country Club in 2011. He had 25 putts Thursday at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.

“I've been struggling with the putter,” said Piercy, who needed 119 putts in his T25 finish at last week’s Shriners Hospital for Children Open. “I just focused on getting my speed right on the greens and my caddie gave me a few really good reads today.”

Piercy, a Las Vegas native, arrived in Malaysia down on himself after his tough week in front of his hometown crowd.

“I was really frustrated, especially being at home,” Piercy said. “I felt like I played the absolute worst I could have played and still finished top-25.“

Thursday was a much different story. Piercy was in good spirits after his round, even joking with the media when asked what his plan was for Friday’s second round.

“Well, can I shoot 62 tomorrow, too?” Piercy said.

Yikes. That is bad. He won the Open Championship and had great putting.

John Peterson does a Happy Gilmore, in competition. Pro tip: TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME. The soundtrack to this is obnoxious.

    • I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉 
    • Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.    
    • I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
