Landry is now over par for the tournament.  Did he sleep last night?

I'm surprised he didn't card an 80 in round 2 after being the usual first round shocker round at a major.  The guys who aren't familiar to the situation usually blow up at some point

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...

Announcer references the "cheap seats."  Hard to believe there are cheap seats at Oakmont. 

I got my Thursday round tickets on Stub Hub for $80.

Did that close up of Lowrys lip out really show a Titliest ball?  The dude is wearing a Srixon/Cleveland hat lol.  I know a lot of guys play Srixon balls (including myself lol I love them) but what gives?  What does he play thats Cleveland Srixon?  I didn't even know anyone really still used Cleveland clubs aside from wedges

I believe when Srixon bought Cleveland, their intention was to separate one brand into "better players' clubs" and the other into mid-amateur, and I think Cleveland was set for the latter.  That could be part of it.  Not sure about the ball.

Sergio and Piercy seem to be having fun out there. Seem to be pushing each other. The opposite happening with Lowry and Landry.

Agreed, I think Piercy took Garcia's ball out of the hole, and then was totally into the excitement when he gave the ball back to Garcia. And Piercy still needed to focus and save par with his putt. Cool to see the camaraderie.

According to this http://www.pgatour.com/equipmentreport/2015/08/09/shane-lowry-winners-bag.html

last year he used TM Burner Superfast driver, Srixon 3 wood, Nike hybrid, Srixon irons, Cleveland wedges and Srixon ball. Curious how much of a difference this year.

Sergio needs to do that because he cannot putt for anything at majors.

At the US Open, the chirping of birds ARE REAL... Augusta National.

Guess they were baby birds.

Miyazato with yet another hole out for the week.  Fun fact:  I believe he's the only player in PGA Tour history to have *two* aces in a single round on tour.  Naturally, his pocket aces happened in Vegas.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
