Decent field but also a lot of names I don't recognize. Hopefully Spieth can get back on track.

Man, the telecast for this is so different from the Irish Open. Irish Open was showing as much golf as possible. CBS seems to be showing as little golf as possible.

OMG, not another one.  Sergio"s joke, while unfunny at the time, was not racist, it was racial.  There is a massive difference.  Holding on to a multi-year grudge based on a false assumption speaks mo

I'm seriously worried about Spieth. His pre-swing jitters are getting worse. The last few holes, he would look up 6 or 7 times while adjusting his feet. That is almost yip-like.

Good opportunity for Spieth, he knows the course better than anyone in the field and he's obviously the highest ranked.  Wish he'd have gotten a couple more competitive rounds under his belt last week but given his upcoming schedule, having the weekend off probably was a blessing in disguise.

I have access to tix but too much going on this weekend so probably won't go, I'll DVR it.

OK -- the ATT Byron Nelson has 5 past Masters Champions in the field - who can name them

Haven't looked at the field list but for giggles, I'll guess.  Spieth, Z Johnson, Phil, Bubba, Schwartzel.  Close?

Yeah, if Bowditch was 2 under, you know conditions were pretty soft.  I think Spieth benefitted from those conditions quite a bit, but it looks like he'll get 4 rounds in to work through that push fade he's struggling with at the minute.

Spieth is T1 with a -11

The Hat is flirting with the cut line at -2 with 4 to play.

That's my boy, but bummed I won't get to watch his round today since coverage doesn't start til 2:30 CT.  Only saw his 1st 9 yesterday because GC cut out to a Web.Com event.  Oh well, I look forward to the weekend.

Apologies if this has been discussed;  I have this on in the background while I'm writing a report for work.  Isn't this event supposed to be held in Texas?  There seems to be a distinct lack of wind today.

True, but the Irish Open is also being held this week. That's where the current Master's champ, Rory, and a few others are playing.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
