It shouldn't be a surprise to see him in this position, more than a few people have been saying watch this guy.

Willett with a bloodless and bogey-less final round, totally deserves this.

I said someone would get to 5-under, and that it would take close to the best round of Danny Willett's life to shoot 67 if it was going to be him. The boy delivered what the others couldn't.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)

What is he, a frigging library book?

The way he was smacking the green with his putter yesterday was a bit prickish.

Yes, but the size of the putter head and the grip aren't necessarily helpful.  There's a lot to be said for a putter you can aim correctly and a grip that fits -- larger isn't always better.

I would think if it helps one, it will help the other.

Happy to stand corrected. My understanding after my putter fitting was that a large proportion of players play grips that are too narrow, with the fatter grips limiting the amount the wrists affect the putter face. Based on the number that Rory and DJ pull/push, I'd have thought this would be part of it rather than them constantly misreading them. 

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Amazing how Spieth's demeanour has changed a bit now he's chasing - much more likeable when he's focused and just goes for it a bit more rather than the guy who second-guessed himself a million times when leading.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
