Spieth was making a move in the second round.

Quote

The two guys with green jackets shot even par. The guy trying to get through Web.com Tour Q-School shot 5 under. Here's how things stand after one round of the Australian Open, where Lincoln Tighe holds a one-shot lead over Matthew Jones in Sydney.

Leaderboard: Lincoln Tighe (-5), Matthew Jones (-4), Geoff Ogilvy (-3), Chun-Am Yu-a (-3), Neven Basic (-3)

What it means: Scoring was kept largely in check on the par-71 The Australian Golf Club course by 25-mph winds, meaning even-par rounds, such as those shot by Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott, are still very much in the mix. "I'm still in this golf tournament," Spieth said.

Round of the day: Tighe's 5-under 66 featured seven birdies and two bogeys. It was fueled by the 26-year-old's long driving. "I hit my driver really good and I was in good positions all day," he said.

What a comeback by Spieth last night. +3 after 4 holes and he was back to even, I started channel surfing. Came back an hour later and he has climbed back to -2. To shoot 67 after that opening was crazy, he was -7 over the last 14 holes. 

Tee to green he is not playing very well, but i guess the conditions have a lot to do with that. There aren't many under par, but he has missed alot of greens. To still be in a position to win is pretty impressive.

JC on a cracker. How would the shot have gone if Spieth actually liked it? There's a wisp of a hair between a good and bad shot for these guys.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That landed a bit close to the water, maybe he thought it was in the water.

Very true, very close to going to the water.

6 yo Matt Jones meets The Shark. Is that Steve Williams w/the porn stache?

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By RandallC ·

      I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.
