All things about and through the tournament. There is no need each week to have ten different threads pretaining about a tournament.

Life after Riviera brought big changes
Howell ended a long dry spell when he won there last year, but he has struggled since and runner-up Mickelson has surged.

hopefully next year it will be called the siemens wind turbine open

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4


I think Phill is ready he worked this week with Pelz on his putting and if he straightened it out he should right there and win.

kevin na has two 4th place finishes so far. i expect/want him to do well
looking at chIII's finishes so far.. a win would not be surprising. 3 top 25's (1 top 10) as well as an mdf
as long as mickelson doesn't pull another 11, he has a good shot
also i'm really pulling for anthony kim

For me, this is when the golf season really starts. I see Adam scott fairing well. Mike Weir, Charles Howell, Kj Choi come to mind for good showings.

Riveria's a great course, one of my favorite weeks all year.

And I'm hoping Pavin can continue the kind of play he showed last Sunday.

Huge week for Phil! Most years when Phil plays well, he wins at least ONCE before the Florida swing. He needs to win this week.

Not looking too good for my man Adam Scott, but Luke Donald had a good round today (-3). I thinl the field is very stond this year, lots of young talent. I was dissapointed to see Jonathan Byrd pull out, though.

Looking forward to a great tournament!

I'd love to see that. But he had a couple great rounds last season, only to crater shortly afterwards.

I'd LOVE to see him win a tournament.

So, in typical Phil fashion, after making a 40 foot putt off the fringe for bird on #5, he follows that with a 5 foot par miss on #6. . . sheesh.

64 today for Phil. -10 for the tournament. Birdied 17 and the super difficult 18th coming in.

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
