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

what does everybody think.  Is it a 3 horse race right now???  Matsuyama is trying to charge but he is 5 back.  Fleetwood seems to be going the wrong way.  There are some good guys at -7, but they are gonna have to terrorize the back nine and hope the leaders come back a bit.

Lot of assumptions there. Rickie works pretty hard on his game from what I've seen.

Maybe they're cutting it a little and the wind is making it curve left five yards.

No watching Spieth earlier when it was really windy and definitely a draw pattern on shot tracker.  Guess these guys hit so high takes some on the side spin off that it's so controllable in cross wind

Of course it has.

If it hasn't started yet is Rory, Jordan, or DJ still in it?

I think you know what I am saying. I understand you disagree. But he asked what does everyone "think." That's what I think.

JT looks to have hurt or dinged his right wrist.  Looked like he hung it low after that 2nd shot from the long stuff.

I remember him doing that a few times yesterday too. Maybe he's tweaked it again.

Jordan still has a chance, but it involves some VERY high scores and maybe a few retroactive DQs.  Did everyone sign a correct scorecard?

 

Rickie's chip on #8 was nice.  Would be nicer if it went a wee bit further, but better than the so many we've seen today from the field that went way way way past.

Eventually Harman will have to make a follow through that goes higher than his waist. But apparently not yet.

What happens if the two amateurs who made the cut tie?  Do they have a playoff for low amateur or can they both win it?

I dont think so. That lil guy is in complete control  of his game and best yet hes best putter out there left.Unless Koepka gets a hot putter I dont see anyone that will threaten. Pretty much 2 horse race.

Matsuyama climbing back.  -10 through 12.

And Koepka with a long birdie to take sole possession.

They're neck and neck! Champ has a couple holes left to break the tie. On the phone app, Champ just hit a nice little 371yd drive on the 17th. He has 150yds left on the 513yd par 4.

Rickie is actually a few spots higher than Harman.

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.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
