And just as Adam Scott drains another long one, Reed looks like he's about to give up the lead.

Scott's doing AimPoint proud, haha.

Adam Scott drains one from another zip code.

Makes me think he should have gotten rid of the long putter a while ago. :)

I read an interview with Scott where he said that the year he changed to long putters he was actually number one strokes gained in putting.  But because they didn't have the stat available to them at that time he had just convinced himself he was a really bad putter and so needed to change.  I think he said that he wished he had known then what he knows now as it might have saved him some of the intervening hassles!

I play Bethpage Black about once a year so it is great to watch the pros play the course.  Some holes that are very difficult for amateurs don't translate as such to the pros.  I think 5 is a really difficult hole -when the wind was behind them on Friday they made it look relatively easy.  4 has so much trouble on it but the pros just bomb it over most of it and it's one of the easier holes for them.

15 is a beast that you can't appreciate by seeing it on television.  The rough around 15 and 16 is some of the thickest -i have seen a number of balls lost there.  Some pros don't seem to appreciate that job 1 on 18 is to avoid the bunkers off the tee -there's Very little benefit hitting driver there.

Final round should be good stuff.  Interesting that Reed draws the ball - it always seems to me like it favors a left to right player.

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

Ricky's not doing a good job of dispelling those arguments that he's overrated.

He's certainly not playing like one of the most elite golfers in the world.

Yes. Sorry to say it, but Reed is schooling him today.

Reed could make this interesting with this shot.

But he didn't.

Should be an easy two putt.

I know they were screaming before guys hit shots but that happens alot. Reed was asking for someones shadow to move away from his ball and I heard someone say "yes master" Reed just grinned and shook his head. Definately alot of rowdy folks there.

Reed played well, tons of tough holes on this monster but he prevailed, I thought he would to be honest.  Rickie has closed out on some tough courses before, the Players and Wells Fargo, but Reed's irons striking and putting held up.  I loved the interview at the end when he admitted his nerves kicked in and he fell back into some bad habits.  26 years old with 5 PGA wins.  Has won every year starting back to 2013.  I wouldn't be surprised if he end up with 7-10 wins before his career was over, he has a lot of game.

Patrick already has 5 wins at age 26. The 7-10 seems like a lock to me. I say he hit's 15 plus wins before he is eligible for the senior tour.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
