Aotearoa_Brad Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 So with the afternoon groups of Day 1 well underway, and only 14 players currently under par (no one having finished their round under par at this point, I might add) - it'd be fair to say that it's been pretty tough out there - wind advisory and sustained 20-30mph gusts. There has been some pretty good use of the wind on occasion, and some great shots in general though... here are some of my favorites thus far... ...and, of course, there was this from Phil...

I think we even had the same expression on our faces. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpcgolf Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 That wind is really blowing, and if I was Phil, I don't know how I would have stayed so passive. I probably would have flipped out.

Aotearoa_Brad Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Ruh roh It happens I guess, and definitely more likely for peeps with pro SS than me. Wilson Staff would be gutted it happened mid-tournament though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
