I don't want a rehash of last years Fox announcers discussion, but I really wish they would figure out how to use the leader board to share information. Still only showing 4 of the guys tied for the lead.

Especially since it's almost always on the screen. You'd think it would provide more value. 

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

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

At least they aren't updating the leaderboard before they show the golfer finishing the hole, as they were a couple of years ago.

That Brownie points segment on 15 just now was better than anything like that NBC or CBS have ever put together. Coverage isn't perfect, but I am super impressed with Fox.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a seven-way tie for the lead this late in any tournament, let alone a major.

Please anybody but Reed.

Boy, still haven't forgiven him over a silly comment made years ago when he was a lot younger less mature and riding a high off a win?

Maybe if he wins, he will be able to afford a shave and a haircut.

I'm not a Reed fan either, but it's not because of the top 5 thing.

Wow I didn't think anyone would shoot a -9 in a US Open in my lifetime at least. Well played JT. He's having a great year so far so this could be his time.

No there are other reasons why I don't like him. I dont care about the top 5 comment.

With two bogeys! That's insane.

I just rocketed up the Draftking leaderboard with that...thanks JT!

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
