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.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
