Mickelson,Reed,Willet and Fowler struggling to make the cut.

Throw in Spieth, and that's a good chunk of my fantasy lineup. I know Willett was doing well before the back 9 on Friday. He must've really blown it down the stretch. Bummer.

I disagree. You get birdie fests every week on Tour in the John Deere Classics and Humana Challenge's. The big tournaments should test the best players to the max. Seeing guys shooting 63 and 64 every

I don't like birdie fests, I much prefer to watch them be challenged and struggle to be -2 or - 3 for a round versus -9.

Conditions change from day to day. How is that unfair? Everyone plays the same course. You say it's unfair and then immediately after say that they didn't adjust - which is it?

Day setting a record for 36 holes. Good for him!

I would love to see him go wire-to-wire.

I'm hoping Rory goes low again today. It would be great to have him with in 2 shots going into tomorrow :)

Agreed...I have nothing against Jason Day, but I always end up rooting for the leaders to fall back so more folks have a shot.

A Day-McIlroy final pairing would be amazing...

Really disappointed to see the scoring as low as it's been. Was hoping to see more of a challenge. This has been a birdie fest so far. Reminds me of what Doral used to be like before they changed it up.

And PGA Tour Live cuts to a special guest...Blake Bortles.  I'm not even sure how they picked him out of the crowd.  It'd be hilarious if he came up to them.

Jacksonville (somehow) has an NFL team; of course the tour is going to plug their hometown QB until they panic and draft another one.

Nice 5 putt by Sergio, glad to see the pro's can mess up a round in one hole like I do.

He's really getting to that level, isn't he...makes me uncomfortable.

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

We were talking about how soft the greens have been during the first two rounds, but they are suddenly looking seriously toasty. What difference a day makes.

I guess the PGA was a little embarrassed by the first two days of scoring. They decided to toast up the greens a bit. Some of them may be a little too out of control, though. Players are getting a good preview of Oakmont today at least

I read a piece in Golfdigest (The anonymous pro) that TPC plays diffenrently 50 weeks per year, only the that one week...

http://www.golfdigest.com/story/undercover-tour-pro-why-i-dont-like-playing-at-the-home-office

' I'm a fan of firm and fast, but there they bake out the fairways so much that it's Mickey Mouse. If your ball lands on the front-right fringe at 18, there's a good chance it'll kick all the way into the water over the green, which is just ridiculous. The course plays completely different the other 50 weeks a year.'

 

I do not know if that's true, I even do not know if it really is a pro speaking or just a GD ghost writer...

i liked this tournament better when it was a birdie fest.  It's more fun to watch birdies and eagles than it is to see three putts and bogeys.

I love the element of danger. These players ate up the place for two days; the overconfident ones who thought this course couldn't hurt them are having putts roll ten feet past the hole now. Sawgrass is baring its teeth in these conditions.

Matsu put up a fantastic round, given the conditions. He'll be in the final group tomorrow, and he could be the man to watch.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
