So does that eagle mean Woods' eagleless streak is over?

He already made an eagle at The Masters, IIRC. It ended then.

How quickly I forget.

Didn't realize the trophy was made by Waterford.

DFL goes to Brandt Snedeker who shot 36/46= 82 (+10)

That 46 on the back 9 included 2 pars, 5 bogeys, 1 double, and 1 triple; 17 & 18 was a 6, 6 finish (triple/double)

Cantlay & Hadley are out early making birdies, they have taken the lead to -8

Woods looks good and seems determined to get into contention

Mickelson continues to ride the Bogey train - a MC seems to be in his very near future

I think he needs to shoot at least -4 today to have any chance this weekend.

It's cool seeing guys like Stricker among the leaders. I'd love to see him win.  But more often than not the "old guys" seem to run out of steam on moving day.  Man, what happened to Phil - that was tough to watch.

Amen! to that.

Otherwise, Cantlay & Hadley have taken the lead to -9 now

Phil certainly blew it yesterday, while Tiger is flirting with the cut line again.

 

The leaders are scoring pretty well out there. Could get quite low this week.

Chesson Hadley's message to the field - "See ya, wouldn't want to be ya"

He's in the lead at -10

Does anyone know of a free live stream of the tournament?  The Masters website offers a great live stream portal, but thus far, I have not found the same with The Players or other websites.  A couple say "free" but then navigate to a pay to see.  Thanks

That is because I picked him for my fantasy golf league. 😜

I lost a couple of balls to these demons this past winter down in Yuma.  And the big fan palms are like catcher mitts. Not only that but they are tough.  I saw several balls drilled into them only to be caught and retained. It's fun to watch guys with ball retrievers harvesting.  One guy's was modified with a small index finger sized spear to push them out.

[MrGolfguy67]

Well, seems all the hype around the Mickelson, Woods, Fowler pairing crashed and burned. Woods is tied for 65th right on the cut number, Fowler threw up 2 late double bogeys to likely MC, and Mickelson rode the Bogey train around Sawgrass for 2 days and left at +8, nearly DFL.

Bubba yelling at fans, his ball, anything really. In fact, he blamed a mud ball for hooking one when he took a drop! The commentator on PGA Tour Live called him out for it. He needs to relax and play his game....

 

edit: Two chip ins in a row! Yeah, you read that correctly, two 0 putts in a row!

And Rory and Jordan and Justin helping each other out.  Very definitely backstopping on 7

Jordans ball narrowly missed Rory's by 6 inches or so.

This might be the hardest if not one of the hardest courses the pro's play on. The par three were the green is an island is my favorite hole to watch. It makes me realize these guys are human after all. When you see some of the big numbers they score on this hole alone. This hole has made and ruined some of the golfers rounds.
