Huh, the PGA is the only major Rickie doesn't have a second-place finish in (his best here was T3).  

I still want Tiger (obviously) but Rickie or DJ would be fun to see win.  Or if Zach Johnson won his first major here, but that'd be a huge surprise given how low ranked he was coming in.

Rickie hasn't won a whole lot of regular PGA tourneys, though. Just 4 total. He's an ATM machine but can't break through a whole lot. DJ has broken through 19 times on Tour and sniffed major after major, yet somehow only has a US Open. He's like the modern day Greg Norman. He's been snakebit.

From http://golfodds.com/upcoming-major-odds.html. If you can find a bookie who isn't paying too close attention, try to get Zach Johnson at 2000-1 (there's a Zach J. Johnson at those odds)

This is some 10 year old shit... Own up to what you say instead of ridiculing some one for calling you out... Of course if the outcome was different, you would not have been here saying, "I told you s

The 360 VR camera, whatever it's called is like the NBC one, but much better resolution.

I think this is more bizarre.

Not only is that not going to happen, there’s no reason it should.

Scoring is much higher than I thought it would be.

You don’t think Tiger could get some swing (driver) help? I’m asking, not saying he could. I’d just like to see the bogeys/DB stop happening.

Butch is no more special than anyone else, and heck, I'm still not even sure he knows the ball flight laws.

Lol. Yes this is true. After joining this place I’ve come to realize many of those guys got a free ticket by having a student rise to stardom who was bound to regardless of who their coach was (Cam McCormick). I just thought for whatever reason Butch worked well with Tiger and may have something to offer.

He did. Back then. It’s a huge guess to say they would now.

Butch is good, but I think his strength is mainly his attitude.

Damn glad Tiger recovered fairly well and didn’t play himself out of the tournament. I like Fowler but sadly it’ll be the usual for him ...always a bridesmaid....Tiger shoots 64 tomorrow.

I didn't really get a chance to actually see Tiger's round today, did his swing look better than last weekend? Looser, more free flowing?

I couldn't really tell the difference. Here are some vids.

47 guys under par is a lot, so while noone went super low, scoring still pretty good today. Seemed like the guys in the afternoon actually played better than guys in the morning. Worst scoring really was in first two hours when probably course was at its muddiest and mud balls were most prevalent. After that, guys shot pretty well.

Yeah I was expecting a few, guys to be -7 a few at -6, a good pack at -5 and so on. So glad Tiger got to even after that start. I wonder what holes will cause Woodland's and Fowler's collapse?

Geez TNT has an obscene amount of the same commercials... Almost unwatchable. Glad I recorded it vs watching live. 

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

Yeah. They seem to have, what, eight commercials?

Pga.com had almost every single swing from the day on his profile and the leaderboard page. Seems they took them away at the end of the day and put in some highlight reel instead.

If you don't get a chance to watch today, check out the leaderboard videos through the day: https://www.pga.com/events/pgachampionship/player/08793/2018

Probably only of note to me and a few others since I like to follow him... one more on the subject of players who have ‘never’ won a major...

Hopefully he gets it sorted, but back stuff can mess you up long term, and this isn’t his first time with back issues. 

One of my favorite swings to watch, and almost always shows up in majors. (Maybe he’ll eventually win one! LOL)

Absolutely livid by what's happened with Broadcasting here. I get home last night, looking forward to a good evening viewing the PGA, turn on Sky Golf, and it's playing some old highlights , which is weird. Nothing scheduled all night, so I check the other channels and it's nowhere to be seen. 

Apparently some company called Eleven Sports has it, and they broadcast it purely Online here in the UK. Free Thursday/Friday, and paid for Saturday/Sunday. It seems some bright spark at the PGA thought it would help fit the game to a younger audience. 

A great idea except that not everybody has high speed internet, and of those who do , they don't all want to squint at a laptop or mess about with cables here and there. So this becomes the first important golf tournament of the year that i have no way of watching. 

What a joke, few people are going to watch this ,and even fewer will pay for - it'll be the least watched golf major ever in the UK. Time to swap it with the players championship 😠

      Back From New Instructor and ....

      By billchao ·

      ^ right here. A short game pitching motion is not the same as a full swing in feel nor intent. It’s just not a mini-swing at all. Now if the instructor said to make slow full swings with a 6i and try to hit them only 100 yards, that would be more in line with what I view full swing instruction to be.

      How does he fit for clubs with that setup?  I get this to an extent, but plenty of players have slightly different patterns with different clubs throughout their bag, but using that logic why not start with 3 foot putts or 5yd chip shots? I have quite different feels for a 20-40yd pitch shot than I do for a 140yd shot. Loft presentation at setup and impact, ground contact, weight transfer (or lackthereof), etc are all different on a 20-40yd shot vs a full iron shot.  If you enjoyed the lesson and found value in it that's great, personally I'd be a bit annoyed if I went in and wanted to work on full swing stuff and this guy has me doing 20-40yd pitch shots for an hour with my lob wedge.
