Wonder how the pins will be set tomorrow...

It's gonna be the best round of the year to watch I bet!

The same way they always are for the final round. They don't really change. This is last years's sheet. I'd be surprised if it's any different.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

That's a bit of an exaggeration; some of them do change.  This is from 2014:

#8, #10, #5, #15, and #11 are significantly different from 2016.

I really like Fowler and Spieth...but I've seen such a change for the better with Sergio's character on the course, and damn he needs a major.

The thing about Sergio is he is likely to hit a pin and ricochet into the water or something.  Or miss a tap or two...

Rose is steady Eddie.

Jordan needs to be Jordan.

Its gonna get LOUD

 

Duval said nine or ten to win...

Alright, great leaderboard. Let's get some predictions thrown out there.

Personally, I have no earthly idea...but I think the winner is -4 or better right now. I think there's too much talent for someone to come from more than 2 strokes behind at this point. If I had to guess I would say the winner comes from the Spieth/Fowler match. But one of them will have to go out and win it because Rose isn't likely to give it away.

I'd like to see Rose or Fowler take this one. I'm not a Spieth fan he's very difficult to watch. Sergio has the skill but to this point hasn't proved to have the mental game to win one.

Does Hoffman remind anyone else of David Puddy from Seinfeld? I can't help but root for the guy.

Reading some of the pundits' reactions tonight, I'd argue that the Hoffman-Moore pairing is getting a lot less respect than they deserve.

Charley Hoffman is one bad swing away from being in the final pairing. Ryan Moore has shot back-to-back 69s while rarely getting in trouble (and bouncing back quickly on the rare occasions he has). People are talking up Spieth's chances as if this tournament is his to win, but these two are at the same number, and I'd give them as much of a chance as Spieth has.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I think Justin Rose is the actual favorite, and nobody is talking about him. I find it hard to look past him. He's got everything you need to win here, and his recent record here is strong. If he throws up a 67 or 68, I don't think anyone will match that.

I really wish he would ditch those ridiculous sunglasses, though.

You got Moore steep to flat

Hoffman a bit flat 

These guys to me are real workers.  

Rose has the technical proficiency and the guts

Spieth has the most guts of anyone in contention.  I like his move too.

Scott lurking but may be too far back.

Sergio is a wild card he has not shown the guts at majors but Ryder cup seems he has...

If I was a betting man I'd put money on Rose.

 

Ill root Spieth Fowler.  Love most to see Spieth win again.

If Rose, Fowler or Garcia wins (particularly Sergio!), I'll be delighted - I do feel like Spieth might just get hot on the greens and nick it, though... Whilst I appreciate how they've scored, neither Hoffman or Moore do anything for me. I like Charley a lot, but I would always want the long-timer who's not yet done it. 

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

I'm going with Sergio Garcia. You always have to say Spanish people's full names, because they sound cool.

Obviously all of them are great, and can win - I just like the steady pace he has kept.

Hope he doesn't, but I think Spieth will do it. You can't ignore his record at the Masters, it can't be a coincidence, there's just something about the place that suits his game.

Rooting for Sergio though. So few players have been as consistently good as him over the last 20 years.

Not as priceless as Spieth passing it to Willet.

Danny will pass it with respect not as a 5 year old sulking child.

Spieth.

Just love to see Charley prove all of us wrong.

It will be an American win this year.

All 6 of the leaders are well qualified to win this- they all have several wins on the PGA tour. 

It's hard to say whom I am rooting for.   I guess I'm rooting for any of the last 4- Spieth, Fowler, Rose, and Garcia. 

My heart is with Sergio, my head says it'll be Justin Rose.

Agree. I would love to see Sergio win this (can't believe I'm saying that, my, how my opinion of Sergio has changed in the past few years), but I'm thinking Rose will take it, which is better for my pool anyway. :-P

      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?
