Which, to me, puts that 63 in its proper perspective. Which is, it was the lowest round of a low-scoring day. Dude sets an Open record with that score & he may not even finish top 10. 

I'm trying to remember if Jim Furyk finished in the top 10 the last time he broke 60.

What they should do is not let the course dry out so much, at least the fairways.  Soften the fairways, let them grow a bit long (as far as pga tour events go) and then let the greens dry out.  The pr

Yes but im talking about this tourny and where they stand right now, not the year.Looks like harmon is playing really safe.Dont think Rickie can make up two strokes unless leaders make mistake.

Okay…

Rickie is T2. Harman is 11th.

(Brandon Stone is first. Hideki and JT are T2 with Rickie.)

Koepka is looking good so far....When your in the lead, and your hitting every GIR in tough conditions you gotta feel good at the moment.

Ugh this Harman won't miss. Sorry kid, I'll pull for you in the Ryder Cup if you ever make the team, but not today. Really would like to see Rickie get that first major.

Nevermind, he was T5 2016 Travelers' Championship.  73-66-72-58.

Solid as a rock so far. Pretty impressive considering his lack of length.

And I guess we don't get to find out which of the amateurs would win in a fight.

I'm not watching the telecast, but the web site shows #15 as being a beast today. Par 4 averaging over 4.5, toughest hole today.  And yesterday it was 3.5! What did they do to the setup?!

Here was yesterday's number:

I've read that the course can set up very differently day to day based on tee locations and pin locations, but that seems huge.

Also, the average score today on the back nine is 36.6- nearly all of the over par scoring on just #15.

Matsuyama with a great approach on the last par-3 (#16).

Rickie with a three putt bogey. :-(

Yesterday it played at 288y. Today it's 356y. The wind I'm sure is affecting it as well.

Koepka couldn't have hit that any lighter, and it just misses.

Rickie needs to hit a green and stop leaving himself 5 foot par putts. Nobody is pulling away right now, but he cannot take advantage at all.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
