Here's another bracket you can fill in in March. The big three are in the field although it's match play. Watson, DJ, Mickelson and Fowler too.

The Day McIlroy match was the final, IMO.   That was great golf to watch and a true battle.  I thought Rory had the better game but just couldn't make enough birdie putts.  Day hung around and fi

That's a savvy idea, but does it mess with fan involvement in filling out brackets? It could also be an indication of the value of short-game skills in match play when the ball-striking is roug

So excited this is happening in Austin. What little I've seen of the track so far has been impressive.  My son is going to have his party boat anchored near one of the holes on Sat, maybe Sun too (he couldn't care less about pro golf although he does think Joran and Rickie are pretty cool).  Should be a rip-roaring week, wish I could get down there for it.

As for a pick:  I'd be hard-pressed to go outside the top 10 because most of them are on form right now.

I took Rickie beating out Jason Day. My wild pick is Daniel Berger beating Phil to advance from his group.

Besides the majors and the players this is one of my favorite tournaments to watch.  I wish I wasn't going out of town this weekend so I'd have more time to watch it.

I filled out the damn bracket 5 different times and it still won't fricken save. How annoying. Guess I won't be winning the laptop... I had it all figured out too...

Looks like a cool course.

Love the hazards right next to the greens.  

 

I have Louis winning it all.

Uh oh.

Day tweaked his back.  I hope its nothing too bad, both for him personally and for the game of golf.

Boy, Day really looked bad after hurting himself out there. 

This course looks really interesting from what I'm seeing so far. They're not showing a ton of overheads of the holes, which is dumb considering this is a new course. From my limited view, it looks like a course that would be a lot of fun to play.

Man Phil is putting a beating on Fitzpatrick. Ill let Rickie pass on losing to Duffner considering he birdied the last 2 holes for the win.

Only A player who lost so far is DJ, I think, but don't think Day is coming back out tomorrow.  

Really cool place, I've seen it from the lake but this coverage has given me a completely new perspective.  Agree on missing the overhead shots, maybe the blimp will make it to town over the weekend.  Sure would like to play it sometime.  Hope my kid somehow bumps into Michael Dell or McConaghey and befriends them.

I think Day should back out of this thing or at least maybe concede today's match and then go for it tomorrow. Tiger will be the first to tell you not to mess around with back injuries.

This is the one reason I don't think Day is ever going to make it to the level Spieth and McIlroy will as their careers go on. I think he's a great talent when at the top of his game, but I just think injuries are going to be an issue his whole career. It has been so far. It's too bad.

Here are todays matches of players who both won yesterday:
Spieth/Dubuisson, ZJ/Kaymer, Day/Thongchai, Kisner/Bello - pretty amazing that there are only 4 matchups of yesterdays winners

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      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.
