The way Spieth is navigating the course and getting out of trouble today is ridiciulous!

[txgolfjunkie]

Spieth using Tiger's strategy on the 18th...when in doubt, get a double bogey. 

[westy]

Had a few pennies on Lowry, Henson and Rose back on Wednesday.......

[Fireinthehole]

That double bogey must have been the curse of the commentator

[sp0rtsfan86]

Just woke up and Speith was on fire. Today to me is Phil's make it or break it day. He's either going way up or way down.

[txgolfjunkie]

Nothing like having a football analyst do some golf commentary...

 

Tiger Woods with a putt for a first down...

Jordan Spieth had a turnover in the trap and missed a putt for 6 points...

 

Thanks Curt Menefee

 

 

Hahahaha Spieth with the colorful commentary about the 18th. Finally Fox has some mics in the right spot. Jason Day also recorded with his comments about the 1st green. 

[sp0rtsfan86]

That was a crazy chip in. Dang.

[westy]

Woah, that's some birdie Mr Day!

[3piece]

Jason Day hole out.    Wow.

[golferKen]

What a shot from Day! WOW

[golfgreg74]

Well I guess Rickie Fowler to win at -5 was a solid pick this week!  Who would have guessed that he was going to go toe to toe with Tiger?

[golfgreg74]

I think that Fox should continue to show the groups that are +12 and ignore the players under par.  Makes perfect sense to me!

The featured group yesterday night was brutal. 

[IronHorse]

After seeing Ricky's slow mo replay of driver of deck, makes me never want to do that again. Unbelievable how much the head and shaft get contorted. How does the driver head not snap of the shaft.  

[Fireinthehole]

Miguel Jimenez at -1 not too shabby from the mechanic

[golfgreg74]

What did Fox do with Joe Buck & Greg Norman?  I have not seen them yet...thought they started out the broadcast yesterday.

 

LOVED Rickie's driver off the deck...I used to be able to hit that shot (with the smaller head drivers).

[IronHorse]

Sun out today, makes huge difference  in quality of TV coverage. Can see so much more than yesterday

[3piece]

And another Birdie by Jason Day!

[westy]

Not sure days playing that well, but scoring is what matters I suppose.

[sp0rtsfan86]

Day enters the zone. Love watching him when he's on.

[golferKen]

I feel your pain. I to took Rickie in my pools but I also got Spieth.

[sp0rtsfan86]

One thing I do like is hearing the caddie player interaction. Fox does a good job letting them set up what's going on.

[jdiddyesquire]

Good God that shot Speith just hit.

[golfgreg74]

Oh yay...another Fox montage!

[sp0rtsfan86]

I'd love to play a course this hilly. Playing golf in central NJ florida and Mississippi there's not exactly a ton of hilly golf. Ditto for the low deserts here in SW arizona. The only course I played like that was Glen Mills in PA. Think they carved that course on the side of a mountain.

 

Anyone else a fan of elevation changes?

Love playing golf in the Mountains...played quite a bit of golf in the Truckee, CA and Reno, NV area and there are some GREAT tracks with wonderful elevation changes.

You need to come to the Texas Hill Country my man. We got hilly courses! Nothing quite like Chambers Bay, of course, but lots of elevation change courses.

[GilB]

Okay, let's have another little contest. What do you think the over/under will be for Greg Norman to say "But at the end of the day"? Just saying'.

[golferKen]

How did that not go in!!!

Played in Vegas. there's a few courses that have changes, but I like them to be really hilly.

Actually drove though their on the way to Arizona. I remember one rest stop was on a canyon or valley. Was absolutely beautiful.

 

I love Speith and the way he plays. Anyone else see Speith as the Phil to Rory's tiger? Those two will carry golf for a good while I think.
