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.

That's a good game for majors. Maybe a Tom Lehman-like career is in store for him.

Does he still wear the driving cap when he's a pro?

People may finally get their wish: Spieth and McIlroy 1 and 2 on the leaderboard. Been a long time coming. Hopefully they play together tomorrow. Rory prolly needs to par in and it will happen.

Oh absolutely; I think he will have a good career by all means.

And he better wear that hat. Unique look, adds some interest.

Never thought I'd see myself write/say this, but those Nike drivers and three woods are really growing on me. Actually starting to love that blue colour.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

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.

For me, close competition is always better to watch.

DeChambeau is fascinating. I love that he's a guy who is into the technical aspects of the golf swing.

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

Rory avoids any crazy situations and we'll see it.

What happened to the chat on here? Is that gone? Found it, let me rephrase it. Why aren't we using it?

Yeah, especially if it's a rivalry like Spieth-McIlroy. If it was Spieth against a bunch of guys who I have no opinion on, I'd root for dominance and history. But this has the makings of a classic weekend with Rory right there and Day and Phil not too far back.

Yeah, very cool color but, that is where it ends with me.

Haven't hit them and don't tend to like Nike products based on their last few, so probably me too!

On a side note, Patrick Reed's doing alright for us today so far. Touch wood...

Rory almost drained that birdie on 17.  Taps in for his par.

    • 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.
