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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
