You have to be in really good shape to pull it off, or else you look like some sort of vaudevillian man-baby character.

Cabrera-Bello is the only player in the last five pairings under par for the day. Will someone please make a move?

Oof...short miss for Jordan ties it up.

If I had to bet on the outcome, though, I'd still take him to win. He's not gonna miss those all day.

It seems like the first few holes have been going along briskly. Highly appreciated.

Or maybe not? Apparently Kuchar and Spieth just told to pick up the pace.

Yeah...didn't they tee off at 9:30 (eastern)? They are on pace for a 4-hour round...

I don't think either has a reputation for being slow. No?

Dang, that wind is blowing pretty good out there. Raining, too. Definitely not going to be an easy back 9 for these guys. Not out of the realm of possiblity that -6 could still be the winning number.
