I'd agree. And he flat out fired those pieces into the gorse; quite beautiful to see.

All I can say is, "What a final round of golf in a major championship!" Everything you could hope for! Nobody folded. Nobody yakked! Just two guys giving it all they had! Point, counterpoint! Punch, c

Wow that's the third time a ball has horseshoed with a shot at 62.

On the plus side, I cashed in my bet already. Took the under on 64. Nice to be having a beer on that on a Thursday.

Didn't Phil have a putt for 59 lip out at Phoenix a few years back?

EDIT: Virtually identical.

Looks like a pebble or something kicked it right.His putt took an abrupt turn.Think it actually hopped up over something.62 ghosts.

OK guys - who didn't tamp down their spike mark 6 inches from the hole?

Fess up......

Even PERFECT putts don't always go it - cripes, it was right in the gut too

Will be interesting to see if the weather turns tomorrow like they say. Sounds like the afternoon guys tomorrow may get the worst of it. 

Eventually a 62 is gonna happen. Was hoping a legend like Tiger or Phil would get it first. Would have been great to add to their HOF resume.

Good to see Phil have such a great round, it's been a while.  Looks like the nice weather is over and these guys will be feeling the full force of Royal Troon in a few hours.

Weather already harder on the players today - just the one birdie been made on the first compared to the huge number yesterday. Should make a more interesting watch and anyone already under par getting a 66/67 should be right up there (unless it's Phil). My money would be on -8 leading by the end of the day

Edited by b101

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Rory, the opposite of Phil yesterday. I lost count of how many to get out. F***ing revetted bunkers! Edit: thought that was part of first round - it was during a practice round. Thought he looked casual about it.

Aggregate age of top four right now is 167. Yay old guys.

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

      A Year of GEARS

      By 11bravoveteran ·

      Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!

      Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.
