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...

Like I said earlier, if you tune in to only see the big boys compete or to see carnage, this is not your week. Birdies are going down and a lot of new names we are not used to seeing are on the front page.

Wife wants to know if the leaders have a chance of finishing the round before dark, and what happens if they don't. I ran out of answers.

Back 9 playing easier than front. You could see someone these guys get to 5 or 6-under by day's end. Really surprised  at how many birdies Oakmont is surrendering. Think you're gonna start seeing some separation here.

What is your idea of separation, how many strokes? Do you just enjoy being wrong about most of your predictions? Because your track record sucks.

Quite happy to see some new and new-ish names...although a bit surprised.

Damn, what crawled up your butt? Having a bad day? Geez. And Vegas says otherwise about my predictions, thank you very much. I've posted my winnings here before. Goodbye now.

You never make predictions. Just rip on others. Easy peasy.

Jason Day moves into the top 10 with eagle on 4. -5 today after 13 holes. 

After that +6 on opening day, he's Even on the tourney now.

In 1881, there was the "Four Dead in Five Seconds" gunfight. 

In 2016, Lee Westwood gained four strokes in five seconds to earn a share of the lead.

Sounds like I went away for an exciting segment.  What happened?

They finish tomorrow.  It isn't like when you and I play and darkness falls, and we don't get to come back at daybreak and start at the 13th (or wherever we were).

FWIW- the commentator on the web feed for Jason Day's group just mentioned that even though Day is within 4, "there will be separation from the leaders as they get to the back 9- since the back 9 is playing so much easier."

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Ty_Webb ·

      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.
