Well, Hole 16 is pretty much an automatic 300+ drive for a good majority of the PGA tour players. 

This was only Rory for the tournament so far... Previous record was 37 for the 4 days.

Wtf, CBS!?  You show three shots between commercials!?  I think they spent more time showing old soap box delivered cars than they did golf.

If this keeps up, I'm not gonna be watching long.

Except he can't do anything else consistently.

It's over anyway. Only reason to watch is if Hideki ties course record.

Nah.  I think Speith would get my vote; he has three wins and one was the Open,

I think it's very close between the two; Spieth's major victory puts him ahead, but not by much.

Of course, Jordan can finish his career Grand Slam next week and wrap up all of the superlatives; or, Hideki could win and gain the upper hand. DJ or Rickie could enter the discussion with a victory, too.

Major win has him ahead considerably. You are nuts. Hideki wins a major or fedex to get ahead? That's not small potatoes.

Why is Hideki ahead of  DJ who has one more win on the year?

We're talking Player of the Year, right? If Hideki doesn't win the PGA, then he has virtually no shot at winning POY over Jordan Spieth. Jordan Spieth won 3 tourneys this year, one of them a major championship. So far Hideki's only won 2 tourneys, correct? Heck, if Koepka wins the PGA next week, he takes over for POY. If DJ wins the PGA, he likely does. Majors carry a ton of merit.
