Oh I know it's tough, I'm just venting over what could have been.... Boy 15 and 17 killed him this week.

I think you mean 15 and 16.  He’s +4 on 15 for the week, +3 on 16, but he was E on 17 for the tournament.

15 and 16 are the difference between him being T11 and T1 right now, lol.

EDIT:  Actually, my mistake, he’s +5 on 15 so a total of +8 for the week on 15 and 16.

Great to hear words of wisdom from Jack Nicklaus, sitting in the booth today.

 

Even par 70 today for Woods.

Yea, there must be a million pro v1s in a watery mass grave short right of that green. 

Hmmm, I wonder how good night diving is there.

Congrats to Web.com player Sam Burns who was paired with Woods today; he ended up beating Tiger by 2 shots (68 to 70). He'll have a great story to tell his potential kids & grandkids now.

Great interview with Sam after the round by Amanda Balionis.

The Bear Trap is incredible. What a mind-**** of a stretch of holes.

Alex Noren posts -7, will it hold up? Playoff perhaps?

Thomas & List also at -7 with 2 holes to play.

Yea besides the aforementioned gator infestation, I'm sure there are numerous redneck diving teams from nearby Loxahatchee that vie for squatter's rights to that spot :-D

That he played with the GOAT and beat him in one round?

List & Thomas off the tee at 18. Birdie wins, or 2 birdies for a playoff, or 2 pars and a 3 way playoff?

What an exciting finish this is setting up to be. Great players playing great shots on a great course. Who doesn't love this?

Two birdies - List and Thomas headed to a playoff at -8

Sure. A 21 year old Web.com regular gets paired with Tiger Woods on a Sunday and beats him head to head by 2 shots. Pretty dream worthy stuff if you ask me. Seems like you're trying to downplay it, not sure why.

If I played with the GOAT and beat him in one round, I wouldn't tell my grand kids. I would write a seven volume book series and have it published in 47 languages. :-D

Regarding Tiger, this is a remarkable performance by a golfer aged 40+, who has been away from competitive golf for however many years due to debilitating injury. It is truly remarkable.

I am not a "hater." My complaint has always been that, in instances like this, whoever actually wins this thing will be a one sentence byline, on page 7, below the fold, compared to the pages and pages and pages scrutinizing Tiger's performance.

But maybe that's just a Tiger's privilege. Or maybe it's a Goat's hard-earned privilege.

Good luck to Justin Thomas, a fine young player. It would be nice to see another Major in his future this year.

Birdie on 1st playoff hole wins it for Justin Thomas. Oh so close to a first win for Luke List - surely there will be a win somewhere in his future if he can continue to play like he did this week.

JT is one of my favorite players on Tour. Seems like a cool guy.

Thanks for correcting my mistake. Wow, His numbers on those 2 holes were even worse then I thought. Didn't it seem like each day was a replay of the prior one(s)?  He was on his way to a really good round and into the mix, then. aagh

I like Thomas also. A lot. He and Spieth look like they're going to give us a show the next few years.

    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
