Am I missing a joke or something? Zach Johnson has won two majors. Louis Oosthuizen has won one.

Yes. Someone posted in this thread that Zach Johnson had never won a major

I'm a bit late replying to these, but what happened was I mentioned how surprising it would be if Zach Johnson won his first major this week.  There are two players by that name in the field:  the one who has won two majors (who cannot win his first ever major at this event for that very reason) and the club pro with that name (who would be very surprising if he won, since club pros pretty rarely win majors these days).

No Par king   I don't want shot tracer if it's this one.

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)

Fair play! I got confused, and I also forgot about the other Zach Johnson. Apologies for accusing you of not knowing. :beer: 

The (professional sports publication) article about Oosthuizen is still wrong though! Lol

Hulu is showing Law & Order episodes on schedule starting at 8 EST but probably didn't update.

What's the putting tracer that they are showing?   It's not Aimpoint?  It doesn't seem to be as accurate as Aimpoint.

It's not. And on some of them there is such a variance I almost wonder if you can actually hole a putt on both lines - the low one sometimes has almost no break while the upper one has three feet? Count me as skeptical.

I'm gonna guess Hawk-Eye, if I'm getting the name of the putt reading tech correctly, is the same company that makes the line calls in tennis? Seems ill-suited for putt reading, maybe it's a completely different system though.

Tiger's making the birdies he needs, but dropping a few too many so far today.

I thought it was just showing the putt line for a firm putt vs slow one?

I didn't say anything to contradict that.

I'm saying that if a putt breaks 3.5' and the low line has an aim point of only half a foot, I'm skeptical that a putt hit that hard could actually go in. Or maybe that a putt hit on the high line could actually reach the hole.

For the putts that are straighter, and the lines only vary by a few inches, they're believable.

Yeah I got what you were saying. Does seem to be too much variance.

Pretty nice leaderboard. Can't really complain. The top-2 are somewhat household names, moreso Kisner, but after that you got DJ, Koepka, Fowler, Molinari, Tiger, Thomas, Scott, Simpson, Schwartzel, Rose, Rahm, ZJ and Day all within striking distance. Those are all big boy names.

I feel the odds I posted above short-changed Justin Thomas. With due respect to Woods, Thomas has a better chance to win.

Think it has to do with lots of bets on Tiger. Lets see how he does playing 28 holes on one day.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By snapfade ·

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
