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...

A par and a win for DJ might mean that the U.S. Open Prediction Contest gets decided by the penalty.  Three predictions for DJ at #1, at over par, -2, and -4, posted in that order.

I'm excited for this to be explained in terms of his "resiliency" or "momentum" or improved putting...instead of him just being so damn good at golf that it was almost inevitable.

I was wondering if the father-in-law was in attendance; Fox panned back from Paulina, and Jack Nicklaus was standing next to her.

Close enough.

The audio on the replay made it sound like there was yelling in his backswing too. That would  be insane. (Then again, I don't really trust Fox's audio on the replays.)

Shane Lowry is costing himself some $$$ right now hacking it around.

I think I do.  And I also agree with what Steve Flesch said.  I see no evidence that DJ caused that ball to move.  It moved towards his putter when his putter was in the air behind it (and there appears to be not a breath of wind out there either) so what could he have done to have caused it to roll towards his putter?  I just don't see it.

Then what caused it to move? Can you say so with more certainty than DJ caused it to move?

The facts are that DJ was very close and the ball moved right after actions he took very very close to the ball.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      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?
