This is definitely setting up nicely for the US this year. Rory can't putt. Poulter is injured. Rose battled some injuries as well. Stenson is really the only Euro in top form right now. Apart from this past week's outlier, DJ is obviously locked in nicely. Koepka and Walker are putting pressure on DL3. Phil playing well. Rickie and Jordan had nice weeks. Brandt is playing well, and even Bubba relatively.

What sucks for Rory is I think unless he gets a new caddy and figures out his putter, his window to dominate might have closed. It seems like the tour has completely changed in the last 2 years. With Day, DJ and even Henrik finally getting the monkey off their backs, and Jordan rising to his level, it all happened at the same time. Now you get Phil playing well again, #48 ranked player in the world win a major, Willett birdies what 4 of the last couple holes at Augusta to win? You have 3 different players shoot 63s in the last two majors. Branden Grace has been lirking in majors the last year. Matsuyama seems to get knocking on the door. All the while I haven't even mentioned the likes of Rose, Scott, Bubba and Kuchar. Its just crazy.

Whats crazy is the fact Day has 5 2nd and 3rds in majors. He could be heralded as one of the absolute greatest of all time if he turned a couple more of those into wins. I guess you could say that about a lot of guys, but its just crazy. Day was fighting his swing all day today. Couldn't hit his driver for shit and pulled almost every approach shot, yet he stripes a 2 iron 250 yards to a raised #18 green and sinks an eagle putt to put the pressure on Walker. The dude is unreal. The all time greats win when they don't have their best stuff, and Day almost did that. This was a fun year for majors with 4, 1st timers. But here's to hoping next season's winners are bigger names getting their 2nd, 3rd, 5th, etc. I would love to see DJ, Day and Spieth catch up to Rory.

Congrats to Walker. Man that pressure has gotta really be eating away at Sergio and Rickie among others now to lose their major virginity. Walker seems like a good dude. Confident swagger, I dig it. Nice to see Spieth and Rickie, along with Day seem so happy for him.

Gotta go 1 club longer and swing easy, limiting the spin.
-
Good lord approaches are all plugging. Someone could go real low.
-
Is this gonna turn into Lucas Glover Bethpage 09 win?
-
I feel bad for the PGA. BTW, do some of these greens look totally scorched?
-
Ugh this entire tournament has the perfect setup for a Robert Streb win. PGA sure as better hope Day wins this.
-
Just another batch of bad luck to further push the PGA Championship to #4 among majors. Feel bad, because they sure as hell set it up better than the USGA. Yeah, Oakmont had rain, but they managed to finish normal.
-
Ugh **** mother nature.
-
Grillo angers me. He was an unpleasant dick at Oakmont when I was there.
-
So how has it been so far today? Just tuning in. Some greens look a little scorched already.
-
What a finish. Good for Henrik. Another person crossed off the "best w/o a major" list. Looking at you Sergio and Lee for Baltustrol.
-
Wow
-
Damn this is quite the duel. If this back 9 continues as the front, could go down as an all time great finish.
-
Well there's a giant douche canoe to begin with.
-
I'd agree. And he flat out fired those pieces into the gorse; quite beautiful to see.
-
Can Rory learn to putt so he can win 10 more majors? Also, shout out to Bill Haas for having his best career performance in a major.
-
Well already it looks like Phil is gonna win thin just with how the nerves are shown.
-
Here's to hoping Stenson pulls this out tomorrow. Think he will choke as usual on the greens, but hope I am wrong. Hate Phil but him getting his 6th major would put him on that next tier with Trevino and Faldo, which would be cool history to see.

Ahhhhhhhhhh 7am and a full 7 hours of golf on tv. Good times.
