I actually think Fleetwood going under the radar a lot today. The guy is going to feel right at home with these conditions. He's not in the last group so the pressure is off of him. And he's been on the leaderboard a lot this year in tournaments so he has experience in Sunday pressure....although today's probably ramped up a bit than your normal BMW Open. 

Of course, if Justin Thomas or Rickie Fowler win, I'll be very happy as I put some Vegas $$$ on both of them pre-tourney (along with Jason Day who dudded on me). So I'm pulling for either one of those two to win.

I agree. No one expects him to win and it is definitely good for him not to be in the final group. He is playing well and hs a great chance. All depends if he believes he belongs there and believes he can win.

Did Patrick Reed pack any extra clothes this week?  Looks the same as yesterday.

I do like the little facts they mention about the playeers tho, they mentioned that Reed has exactly 12 balls in the bag, marks tails sides up w/a 1932(?) quarter, has 6 tees in his pocket and doesn't start reloading them until he breaks all 6.  Reminds me of those "what's in my bag" articles in the magazines.

Damn airplane noise is really irritating.  

Honestly, I didn't even notice it until the commentators said something about it.

I think it's the blimp. 

They said it's not. They said it's an airplane and they have no control over it.

They said he is 180th on the Tour in strokes gained putting.   That's remarkable.  He's top 10 in the world, and about the worst putter on tour.

Thanks to all posting here. On the road and stuck with the website streaming since it won't let me watch the tv coverage through xfinity mobile. No clue why they think I'd want to watch streams of players who aren't in contention.

I see our leaders aren't fond of the first fairway today.  

Fairways are overrated anyway.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface. 
    • That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
