Good idea, agree that this seems like a cool event! There are some guys in the field who don't have a status on the Pga Tour (like Chase Koepka). I guess they could get that with a win here..?

If so, that would help Poulter a lot.

players got to chose who their partner is.  So far it seemed pretty interesting, and the speed of play today was very fast compared to normal.  Seems like on the first few days if they break 5 hours for a round its a miracle, but today they were playing at 4 or under.  I am sure tomorrow will be slower with 4-ball, but I like this idea.  Lets you get to see who are friends behind the scenes and I think it could make the ryder cup and pres cup teams even better by seeing how certain players play.

Woods: :tmade: R11 3 (15.5 degree) & 5 (19 degree)
Irons: :tmade: R11 4-AW
Wedges: :tmade: ATV 54 & 60 degree
Putter: :scotty_cameron: 2012 Newport 2

Looking at some of the teams, I wonder if they had this conversation:  

Golfer 1: Hey wanna play on my team?

Golfer 2:  Sure, then on the weekend we can go bowling and hit the Sizzler!

Hit the Sizzler? In New Orleans? There are shacks out in the boonies where you can get food to die for!

It was a reference to Happy Gilmore. :)

Wow...what a finish to play in regulation........Also, I am assuming that Chase Keopka gets into next week's tournament with a top 10, correct?

Yea that was really cool. 

Kisner needs to figure out how to get on the next Ryder Cup team, I think.

Very lucky to have hit the flagstick. Would've gone by at least 8'. Rough break for Cam and Blixt.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
