Gotta commend Westwood today for how he has handled playing terribly and being a great partner with DJ. Good stuff to see.

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...

After all of that talk about how the rain on Thursday would take the bite out of Oakmont, it looks like only three players will finish under par for the championship.

Are they assessing the penalty and does it matter for the contest?

I don't think that word means what you think it does.

Unknown and no.  If everyone not in holes out their next stroke, he still wins by multiple shots.

Does the penalty stroke change the result of the Sun Mountain contest? Or is it @phillyk either way?

Expand  

I don't think so, unless it somehow DQs Dustin.  He's at -5 or -4 (now -4, they said as I'm typing this) and the only entries with him at #1 were over par, -2, and -4.  If he had parred #18, it would maybe be an issue (I don't know the tiebreaker if he won at -3).

      I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
