2018 Fort Worth Invitational at Colonial

[MrGolfguy67]

Historic event on historic old course (PGA Tour stop since 1946). Charley Hoffman posted 7 under (63) early on and so far its holding up. Colonial features a good field with several top names: Spieth, Fowler, Rose, Rahm, Koepka, Scott, DeChambeau, Simpson, Walker, Z. Johnson, Oosthuizen, Stricker, Dufner, Snedeker, Furyk, Kuchar are all playing this week.

Kevin Na grabbed the solo lead at -8 on his last hole (9th) when he holed out an awesome 30 yard chip shot. Scoring is pretty low, -2 is tied 30th after day 1.

Justin Rose has taken the lead, he shot 64 today to go with his 66 yesterday. He's -10 and currently 2 shots clear of 2nd.

Rosie has sort of grown on me as the years roll along.  Aggravating during the Ryder Cup, but I can't hold that against him.   I have a hunch that Speith might finally shake the putting funk this weekend and make a run at the leaderboard.  Anytime Stricker is in the hunt, I'm rooting for him.

….well, upon further review, looks like the funk is still on for Jordan.

Yeah, i've always liked Rose. He has a great story of perseverance and he was very polite & nice to me when i saw him at the Byron Nelson tournament several years ago.

Yeah I followed Rose and Stenson at the API last year I think...Several tees I was able to be real close and he interacted with the crowd very nicely. Seemed like a dude to have a beer with.

Man what is going on with Smylie Kaufman? I know he wasn’t in the limelight before but he made some small noise..is in the ‘spring break’ club....but now has just lost it. He’s not just missing cuts. He’s blowing it up all over shooting in the 80’s...finishing DFL....what’s going on?

[Buckeyebowman]

The Web.com Tour is loaded with guys like Smylie Kaufmann.

Headed to the weekend the final 2 groups look like this:

Rose (-10) and Grillo (-9)

Kodaira (-7) and Koepka (-7)

[Moxley]

Great to see Rose topping the leaderboard, hopefully he can stay there. With Rose topping the Fort Worth & McIlroy leading the BMW, it's set up for an good weekend.

[MrGolfguy67]

Rose is stretching his lead; he's 3 under thru 3 to take it to -13 and a 4 shot lead.

The heat is on in Texas but the rose is not wilting

I'm not sure which announcer is losing his mind over the floating camera but he seriously needs to stop talking.

[MrGolfguy67]

Justin Rose is golfing his ball, 15 under and on cruise control. Impressive.

[MrGolfguy67]

Round 3 is officially in the books.  Rose leads (-14) by 4 over Koepka & Grillo.

A good number of guys within reach if they go low. But looks like they’ll need to. Rose probably won’t back up. 

62-65 has been out there this week though. 

Golf comes on early in the AM here in Japan, but I have tomorrow off. Will be watching!

Pulling for Rose, Kodaira, and of course my favorite Louis O!

My wife and I were switching back and forth between the between the golf tournament and the Prefontaine Classic (track meet). The rule was, watch the golf until Jim Nantz starts talking, then switch to the track meet.
