No kidding.  And once the Poulter/Grace pairing is done, that's it.  Why wouldn't the USGA simply start covering the leader group.

Yeah not sure. The masters coverage was top notch even for online viewers.

I missed Sectionals by 2 strokes this year.  I summarized my round here, if you or anyone is interested. June 4th is the day for Sectional Qualifying this year.  I'm not sure how many of the 500

This is kind of neat...each of the top 9 finishers had a final score (over par) that was equivalent to their finishing position:

Just checked PGA radio and they aren't offering free access for this event.  Collusion!! :censored:

Thanks to BBC we can listen in.

This 14th hole is crucial for Koepka. If he can get through with par, the last 4 holes aren’t playing that difficult Today and he may have the power to reach 16.

Just as I say that, he screws up his tee shot.

Nice pitch by Koepka.  Wish I could do that.  Then he spits.

Finau, coming off 13, with an interesting scorecard.

"Dustin cannot buy a putt right now" -- I didn't realize this was an option in RoG.  Is it like buying a vowel in Wheel of Fortune?

You can do what Phil did yesterday. The cost is just a few thousand fans and your integrity within your profession.

Yeah I'm good, not worth it.

Watching the Fleetwood highlight reel a moment ago, I wonder if the folks who aren't happy about the winning score over par would be happier if #14, the longest par-4 on the course, were called a par-5 instead.  It'd be more or less the same golf course, I don't think it'd change players' strategies.  Or maybe if it were a par-5 on two days and par-4 the other two days, based on how long they made it for the day.

The only thing where par plays a role is the mental aspect. Feeling you made a par vs a bogey can change your mindset some. Other than that, it’s just about lowest score.

Under these circumstances I don't like to root for the guy in the clubhouse because you're basically hoping for the guy on the course to choke.

But I really, really hope Tommy wins his first major at the (British) Open Championship next month.

Having someone already in the clubhouse win a tournament like this just doesn't feel right.  Come on Koepka, keep it together and finish out par or better.

Good point.  I have two par-4s at my home course that I think of as par-4.5s (and I used to think of as par-5s).  

Then again, there's nothing stopping the (relatively) shorter hitters in the field from thinking about these as reachable par-5s.  Or if they want to think of it as a par-4.5, the only issue is if they say to the marker that they made "half a birdie" or something.

IIRC Rose had to wait a while when he won his title.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
