Yet another good article for those who want to see how easy it is to get onto the PGA Tour.  Shoot a 64 in Monday qualifying and still not get into the field.

When you use your driver swing greenside. Would a player pre Tiger Woods era have taken such a lethal cut at this? This, is when you want the radar numbers for a shot - apex, clubhead and ball speed.

Obviously no one cares about this tournament, but things are really heating up heading into the Masters if Fowler shows up again. With him, DJ, Spieth, Rory et al. all colliding in just a handful of days, I'm getting pretty excited.

Well almost no one.. I like Ricky being in the mix. He was top five in all four majors IIRC in 2015. I absolutely love his new swing.

I'm as interested in this as any other tournament.  I can't watch any of it at work and can only comment on the score... speaking of, looks like Spieth will have time for extra practice before Augusta.

Lol, I stand corrected. Sorry, guys. 

@krupa Yikes, you weren't kidding. 69-77. He's done well in this event and gathered momentum heading into Augusta the last two years, but also missed the cut (70-75) in 2014, and still managed a 2nd place finish the next week. Hopefully this MC will keep his ownership down a hair in DFS, but probably not.

Yea, I will say that this week certainly is visually interesting with the grass mown all Augusta style.

Edit: A quick highlight from today from Daniel Berger:

Spieth stunk it up yesterday. Not sure if he was trying real hard though. He had better play better next week.

Is Rickie the most overrated golfer on the tour? In my mind he is that guy.

He's ranked ninth in the world. It's not his fault so many people like him.

Oh, he will, But, it seems like "everybody Sung Kang tonight!" is on a mission to to get into the Masters. Meanwhile, Ricky seems to be stalking the course more pissed off than I've ever seen him. Don't know what's going on, but it just looks strange!

And why is this forum jumping around the screen like crazy! Doesn't seems to be happening anywhere else I go.
