What horrible thing did I do in a prior life that I'm now having to listen to Micheal Breed as an analyst?  Ugh!

This is a very annoying leaderboard web page. An entire page worth and I get 3.5 names out of it. And that's before I scrolled down to the Mercedes ad which reduced it down to a total of 0 names.

And yet, it was a great, entertaining championship. I wonder how that happened on a goat track like that?!

And Kisner with an eagle on seven (he started on ten). To 8-under now. Wow.

Kisner dialed in. The Players run he had two years ago will serve him well over the weekend. He also was able to beat some good players down the stretch at Colonial this year. I'd be very surprised to see a collapse from him. He fits the pedigree of a solid player. Maybe not top tier or second tier but in that Jimmy Walker tier from last year where a win wouldn't be shocking.

Not hitting too many greens though. 55% and T47 for the tournament. Meanwhile, Kisner is 93rd in driving and hitting 82% of the greens, which is top of the board. Rory is also hitting 57% fairways, against Kisner's 74%.

Kisner is my favorite golfer. I hope he can hold on. There will be some big players chasing him that are on the course. I expect them to close the gap.

I've been trying to work out why I'm not enjoying the coverage as much as I normally do. I think it's the fact that there are so many good shots that are being punished. I get that they need to toughen it up, but the number of shots that have landed just over the front bunker and run out the back has been a little silly, IMO. For me, watching great golf is always about the quality approach shots rather than anything else - think the Garcia approach to 15 on the final day of the Masters, for example. That would have been off the back and into the water on this course (if it hadn't hit the flag...)

Maybe this is me just never being happy (I'm not a massive fan of the standard PGA Tour target golf)... Anyone else feeling similar?

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

I'd be really interested to see someone go back and analyse this hole's play from Spieth (10th). For all people talk about his outstanding golfing mind, this feels like following a bad shot with a stupid shot (x3). At least he sort of pulled off the third one!

Would love to see a Kisner win, and this leaderboard looks pretty solid right now. Could be a fun weekend.

Lol, I'm with you there.  Also wouldn't mind seeing Jason Day dunk a few in the water lol.  I like Kisner though, just don't like the 80 sponsorships he has displayed all over himself

With Matsuyama it's a nice win for Japan, sure. Other than that his win brings absolutely nothing to the PGA. A guy with his game, his success, not a word of English, seldom acknowledges the fans...just a total bore.

This makes me think of the video of him chipping into the washing machine. If I'm remembering the commercial correctly.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By DeadMan ·

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
