Did Sergio just ground his club in the hazard?

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...

Eh, I just like everybody else in the top ten more.

Fair. I'm just glad Jordan isn't winning this again. I think he is all a facade.

I think this course didn't fit him either.

Yeah perhaps. To me he is a lot like Bubba. Once his attitude goes south towards a course, he plays himself out of it. His putter got the best of him this week along with misjudged approaches.

Phil's fate on the other hand was already decided before Thursday IMO. His disdain for this course ruined him before he even hit a shot. That and the fact that he strolled in late this week and didn't get many reps in on it. Too little time to adjust to the course and greens, along with a complete 180 post weather.

And Rory, I question if he can win on hard courses. His 4 majors were on soft tracks and easier setups relative to the norm.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That grass is long and I think you're allowed to touch the grass, just not the ground, right?

But yeah, I'd have been hovering my club a bit higher.

DJ's six footer for par on #8 was better than it looked.  Then again, I think most putts that find the bottom of the cup are good putts. 

Jim Furyk with a good putt (see previous definition) on #17 for birdie.  Wow, if he can sit on a clubhouse lead...

"Most"? ;-)

Nice par putt by Lowry there also...

Probably a little to late for Jim, but impressive round and finish.

I don't think it's too late for Furyk. If he can finish at -2 I think he's got a great chance, at least of getting into a playoff. Lots of tough holes to go for Lowry and DJ.

Maybe, but front 9 definitely harder than back 9.

This protest commercial for Tathata Golf is... how to say it nicely?

The final 10 holes (9-18) are averaging 1.8 over par, so if these guys play those last 10 holes just at an average pace for today's players, they'd come back 2 strokes. Not unrealistic, I suppose. (I included 9, because that's playing 0.4 over par, and Johnson/Lowry haven't finished it yet).
