He's just so mehhhh. I don't know how else to put it. He does nothing for me. This leaderboard is making me want to go to the range. I am trying to keep interested, but I can't. I don't remember ever being like this when Tiger was killing it or even Phil. Jordan is just not fun. Day makes this fun. Rickie and DJ make this fun. Rory definitely has the moxie and makes this fun (when he learns to putt). So meh.

I want to go to the range too.  I've barely gone in four months :-(But it's raining here.  

I'm also actually enjoying it, but I see why others might not.

Day within 4 with a bunch to play.

Just sliced it like a crazy person and did not get a Jordan Spieth famous lucky bounce.

would like to think that Westwood would save me from having to listen to another Spieth victory speech, but we all know he will sh*t himself once he realizes he has a shot :-(


If Jordan sinks this and then has the easy 8th to play, he can start putting distance between him and the field. Needs to make this putt, though. Come on, Jordan.

Your perception is distorted by emotion.

What kind of men are your type? You like tall dark and handsome?

I wouldn't exactly say DJ exudes "emotion".

There's nothing moderately interesting about him.

He is bland, meh...

I can't imagine a Westwood victory speech would be terribly animated. For the reason you describe, though, it will always remain a hypothetical question.

"Your" emotion. Not theirs.

Is there a stat that tracks scoring after bogies or worse? I'd be interested in seeing Spieth vs the average.

Still confused by the statement "he doesn't show any emotion." Like huh? I even posted a picture of him showing lots of it. But whatever. Like someone said, Spieth must be becoming a true superstar because he's racking up his hater army.

You kidding? I know it's Lee, but after all his near misses, I reckon it'd be pretty animated.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Rory is definitely lucky he got his 4 in before Jordan came along. Jordan might just hold this tour hostage for 5yrs. Hell, Spieth could go wire to wire at Oakmont. Another course where he can avoid the big number compared to his competitors, his putter will save him and he can just laugh at all the others 3 putting their ways to 75s+

What's interesting is the great amount of success he's had in a relatively short period of time and overall he's a good person.  I don't see him being any different that Rory or Jason Day.

    • As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game. 
    • First, it is on free TV. NBC is free to anyone with an antenna, and is on almost any TV in the U.S. with a minimal amount of effort. Charging "a bargain price" would be incredibly dumb. They charged $750 and the event sold out almost immediately. You could better argue they should have charged MORE, not less. What happens if you charge less: ticket scalpers buy up even more of the tickets because they see value: if tickets were $250, they'd clearly have sold for $1k or more on the secondary market. That's tremendous value. Fans would end up paying the same or more, or just not being able to go. Sure, a few who happened to be online at the precise moment on a fast connection and didn't fumble with their credit cards might have gotten tickets for $250, but the secondary market and ticket brokers would have scooped up the vast majority with automated processes and bots and scripts, then re-sold them later on. This way, fans get to purchase the tickets, and the PGA is earning that revenue, not the secondary ticket brokers. Econ 101. Supply and Demand. Nope.
    • Edit - the link has no title, but basically Tiger wants $5 million for each US player to “donate to charity”   They could put the Ryder Cup on free to air tv, and charge the fans a bargain price to get in.  If you have to  give the players $60 million, that’s why the tickets are $750.

    • P7TWs all day IMO. Especially because they're already fit for you. And it sounds like you have an interest in buying/selling so using the Vapor Pros would only decrease their value.
