2018 Genesis Open (Riviera, Hogan's Alley)

[MrGolfguy67]

Looking forward to another great day of golf on my TV, should be an exciting conclusion.

Some great pairings today for the final round:

Rory McIlroy and Matt Kuchar (awesome Ryder Cup singles match)

Charley Ho(ffman) and Charles Ho(well 3) - where else do you get 2 Charlie Ho's in one place?

Retief Goosen and Vijay Singh (is this the Champions Tour?)

Luke Donald, Adam Scott, Paddy Harrington (International SuperGroup)

Dustin Johnson and Ryan Moore (clash of styles)

Sam Saunders and Phil Mickelson (Most Beloved Past & Present)

Is that some kinda training aid?

I think it was @jsgolfer (advance apologies to whomever did so) identified it earlier in the thread, try somewhere around the middle.

Do you think now that Tiger is back at his house he's pulling for Sam Saunders?

[jbishop15]

Hope DJ makes a run at it. JT as well. DJ really battled his ass off to get back into contention.

[MrGolfguy67]

Ryan Moore starts his round 3 - 3, that's Eagle - Birdie.

Its also the 2nd time this week he's had that great start (round 2), he's at -9 and 1 shot behind leader Bubba.

DJ can leave back to Florida as fast as he can get to SMO after his round.

 

Sam Saunders can be sitting on the plane waiting and Paulina can call some of her sources to get the plane catered "special".

Adam Hadwin & John Huh are the hottest golfers on the course today, both 4 under par

[jbishop15]

what is that speed training thing Phil was using on the range? 

[JSGolf]

CBS is boring me with their coverage. I wish the media would give up on the Phil Mickleson love...he hasn't won in years and should be in the senior tour already. Phil needs to move on too. He won't win again.

Good tournament unfolding, great players on a great course. Who's going to pull out a victory? Cantlay or Na? Or elite level major winners Mickelson or Watson? Somebody else?

[MrGolfguy67]

Bubba holes it from the bunker on 14 for birdie, now has a 2 shot lead at -11

I can't believe some people were saying this was a blah course on wed. This is a GREAT course.

Bubba gits'er done! 1st win in 2 seasons. Bubba has now won this tournament 3 times joining Ben Hogan & Arnold Palmer on that elite list. He was very happy yet emotional with this victory, even visibly crying in the post round interview with Kostis.

Mickelson also had a very good week and continued his good play. Saunders had his worst round of the week yet spent a lot of time this week in the top 5 & top 10, overall a very good week for a player of his status. Americans dominated the leaderboard, lots of good things happened this week, plenty for golf fans to be happy about.

I've always been a Bubba fan - glad to see him get a win to end the drought

[Buckeyebowman]

Yep! Bubba is back! I noticed he was AWOL last year and finally came to understand why during the tournament coverage. Always enjoyed his go for broke style. Saw him at the WGC Bridgestone, and he hit shots I could not believe!

This under 30 minute highlight package sums up 3.5 hours of coverage, which imho is unwatchable in real time.

Patrick Cantlay might be a modern day Ernie Els. Forget the follow through moves, he is so smooth through the ball.
