Sullivan, Landry, Piercy? Where are these guys coming from? Lol Piercy could be about 10-under right now if he could make a 3-footer.

Course playing pretty easy right now. 20 guys under par for their second round....12 of them are 2-under or better. 

You make this comment every major homeboy

Just some of my take: I was there Wednesday and yesterday, stood right next to Colin Montgomery for a little while by 9 green and he is A LOT less heavy in person than he appears on tv. It was od

Ok.  Credit where it's due.  I've gotta commend Fox on their camera work following Paulina walking with DJ to the scorer's tent...

I hope DJ can get this one. It would be cool to see if he can get one where it will lead. He has enough game to win anywhere.

You can make par the easy way, and you can make par the hard way.

Sergio Garcia just made par on the ninth the hard way.

I left Oosthuizen for dead back at the first hole; he's made four birdies in a row since then.

Oosthuizen is dangerous. That's one guy that could be +10 and still in it. I actually think he was +9 or +10 at one point last year at Chambers Bay and came all the way back to almost win.

I think DJ has good shot this week. Actually threw some money on him pre-week.  Just seems to be coming together for him.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
