Coming Sunday afternoon, there might be tougher challengers than Conners. You got Rose, Snedeker, Casey and Reed up there.

I actually started liking him more since the "incident."   For me, he was hard to like when he was Mr. Perfect.  But when his wife attacked him with a golf club and it all came out about the numerous

Tiger needs to make that or Conners bogey 18 to get in the final group tomorrow. Unless Snedeker makes something happen from a difficult spot.

Connors continued to play well today and still holds the lead after 54 holes. Several right behind trying to take make their move.

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

Conners used the force to move the ball there.

First round: 9/18 GIR.
Second round: 11/18 GIR.
Third round: 14/18 GIR.
Fourth round: ???

8/13 fairways today and again scrambling really well. He does lose a few off the tee here and there, but manage to avoid too much trouble with only the single bogey.

The wind off his putter?

I didn’t like the rule but I can see the argument. In that case the old rule wouldn’t have penalized him either. He didn’t cause it to move.

I know this has been argued to death over what that means. My view would be that He swing past the ball, the ball moved...i.e., cause and effect. But I'm no expert and clearly the PGA tour isn't going to take my opinion into consideration...which is probably a smart thing

That's not really cause and effect. One thing happened and another thing also happened. That's coincidence.

The replays clearly show his putter doesn't touch the ball at all.

I don't see how swinging past the conclusively ball caused it to move.

It’s certainly possible that he caused the ball to move but I would say the weight of the evidence is firmly against that conclusion. The ball moved towards him, for crying out loud.

The “weight of the evidence” was last year’s rule. :-) Or the year before…?

I'm glad they changed that rule. It wasn't a very good one.

I checked if Conners is related to Jimmy Conners that's a no if anyone was wondering, obviously the media would let us know about it if so, but it just took a minute why not.

The different spelling may be a hint that they aren't related. :-)

Doh, right, Connors. Man it's been awhile since I've thought about that guy. Time flies.

I think tiger posts a solid -3/-4 tomorrow and finishes top 3. Weather is supposed to be crap in the morning but fine by the time he tees off. Someone will go low and win whether it be Connors or Sneds who knows?

      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.

      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.

      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.
