I think the fans at 18 after Keopkas group finishes might be like "huh, did Spieth and Kuch just decide to not play the last hole?" Like a 2 hole gap lol

As one of those "fat old guys" who worked as a marshall at the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst, I resent this characterization, even if it IS accurate.  I know that the USGA prefers a few traditional things

I'm sure I'll get some heat for this, but I'm starting to believe Rory has lost his passion for playing competitive golf. It seems in  his interviews he's just appeasing the sponsors and fans but if h

I'm rooting for Spieth. I don't agree with how long it took him on 13 but I appreciate what a gamer he is.

I think Haotong LI can start packing his bags. These guys aren't going to gag this much with two par-5s left in the last 4 holes. But then again, who knows.

Probably, but I wouldn't if I were him.  I imagine if I were in position to win a tournament that had same-day playoffs (instead of card-offs) at any level, I wouldn't leave the course until I knew for a fact I wasn't winning (meaning someone in the clubhouse with a lower total).

Yeah...me too. I know it's more enjoyable to see two guys play spectacularly with the lead and battle (Stenson/Phil), but there is something cool about watching him just try to hang on.

They also need to be on the damn clock.

I'm the same. I think a lot of players and even us in that same situation would have taken close to that long. It's just the situation. But I do hope he gets a warning for time. But I'd be happy if either he or Kuch wins. Both great guys in the game.

Advertisement for Brickyard during a golf broadcast.  I get that NBC carries both.  I wonder what the fan crossover is.

Ditto. But Kuch will let us down.

I'm actually ok w/the pace of play...so long as golf is on I don't have to do any house work.

I'm not. Nor should the fellow competitors. Or Kuchar.

No. No excuse to take that long. Simple ruling/decision. Violated 6-7.

Don't you have to be warned first for time before you can be penalized?
