What exactly happened to get Bryson to hitting 4 behind that shack?  Did he take a drop or punched out?

He hit two wide left.  I believe he found the second one.

150 for me. I think I would be "fine" off the tee, but leave myself with fairway woods and layups on all 4s and 5s. Then I would expect to 4 putt at minimum every single hole. Throw in a solid 10 on #15 and #1. I would not be happy and my 7 iron would be snapped in half on #8

One of the great things about ANGC is that it is very playable under normal conditions. Unlike some courses it is actually enjoyable to play from the regular tees.

Yes.  I believe the second was a provisional, which became the ball in play.

I think that putt exemplifies why Spieth does so well at Augusta. Stenson and others like him are used to powering putts through the break, but the speed plus the severe slope on the greens at AN make that very costly - more break than you expect on short putts and more roll out on misses long.

For all that Jason Day's been through since the turn yesterday, he's only five shots back.

There are more than a few players in the morning wave who are back in contention, which is not where they thought they'd be when they finished.

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

Stop whining about the clock Jordan. You do take alot of time. While we are young.

 

Agreed. I decently like Spieth but the amount that he and his caddie belabor every decision has got to stop.

Yeah, poor Jordan had to deal with not everything going his way at Augusta. :cry:

I like his demeanor a lot more after that interview.  Took his bad bounce and is moving on.  Would love to see this kid compete over the weekend.

Watching Bryson swing the golf club is like nails on a chalk board for me, but I like his personality and would love to see him contend this weekend.

I think you could put Day in that category as well. His shot routine is not exactly speedy.

The coverage is atrocious. Who chooses what to screen and what not to?   Surely a non-golfer.???

    • 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.
