i just don't see anyone in the top ten that could challenge him.  Rory and Phil are 5 out.  If he goes into Saturday with a 6 stroke lead. He can put it on cruise and just play to a 70 both days and it's over.  His mastery of the greens is unmatched. He knows exactly where to put the ball on his approach, and very rarely leaves himself with one of those "Back to the hole putt".

Spieth can make 29 consecutive pars and stay in the lead through Saturday night. I'd even go as far to say that should be his strategy right now. That said, if the forecast for Sunday is correct, -6 is not winning this tournament. He's going to have a target on his back the rest of the way. Jordan is probably best served by putting his game in cruise control until the back nine on Sunday; but when the field inevitably catches up to him, will he be able to respond?

Was having this discussion with a co-worker and it's an interesting topic. Do you want to see Jordan run away with this ala Tiger Woods did in '97.....or do you want him to hit the bogey train so we have a close contest over the weekend. I'm conflicted because I love seeing dominance in the sport and history made, but at the same time, I want to see a Jordan-Rory battle...with a little Day included.

And another birdie for Spieth.

It's getting ridiculous how much the conditions are impacting anyone playing who isn't named Jordan Spieth. 

And Rose goes to +2 on the day.

I think there's a lot of golf left to be played, and Jordan has a long tightrope walk between minimal risk and complacency ahead of him. This course isn't afraid to bite back.

He's -1 on the day so it must be working for him! ;-)

Personally, I love seeing great golf being played. If it's one guy breaking out of the pack, or a group of players pushing each other to play great for the win it's great to watch IMO.

Spieth playing great in tough conditions would be the former. McIlroy or Day coming out on top at PGAs the latter.

Rory two putt birdie.  Gets to -2 and T2

I'd be cool if Rory and Spieth are the last twosome out tomorrow and Rory makes a run.

Rory needs to get to at least -3 for that.  Since Lee and Piercy finished before he did at -2.

DeChambeau's a three-footer away from being T2, and Spieth is still away.

Spieth is going to drop back to -6.

Spieth has dropped a few shots, so he may be mortal after all.

Dang, for an amatuer, this DeChambeau guy isn't half bad.

Crazy control and strategical plotting around the course. He's gonna be good for a long time. Still think he lacks the ability to go uber low when needed though given his playing style.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
