you wouldn't wear a tie, if it meant shooting 63??

 

Lackluster iron play from Rory.  Not his usual stuff.  Nice round for Jordan. Great round for Hiroshi... I used to work with a guy named Hiroshi.

If a tie meant 63 then I would wear one around my head, one around my neck and one on each leg. 

 

With that said I wouldn't wear the tie otherwise. It WAS NOT a good look.

Keegan Bradley made birdies on his first two holes and last two holes on his way to a 76. He was in the morning featured group with Tiger for all the world to see in the online coverage. He was tough to watch. I had to look away and I can't imagine Tiger and Martin Kaymer didn't have to do the same. The f***ing whack job takes forever to hit the god damn ball right now. I think he's getting worse and clearly it isn't helping how he scores.

Pet peeve rant...............

 

when play was suspended the Day/Fowler/Johnson group had been on the course nearly 5 hours and still had 4 holes to play. That is horrific. Why wasn't there a slow play penalty applied to anyone?

If they'd played at a normal pace they would have been in before the delay. I'm not blaming them. The whole field plays at this place. It is mind blowing.

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Yea if I remember correctly Phil did that two days in a row that tournament. Phil is always good for something cool like That or a shot off the cart path.

The only fantasy golf I play is the round I THINK I'm playing when I play golf. You know, I'm playing my 9-hole practice course; I tee off from the tips, and it's the tips at St. Andrews. I get to my ball and I have a 50* SCOR for my second shot. I do very well fantasy-wise. ;)

Who is the A group??

Well my A group choices were Rory and Bubba. Henrick was also a popular choice. Just because it's group B doesn't mean it's inferior. Group B is just a larger group than A.

A lot of big names at the top, with the prediction of winds this afternoon it could affect the outcome, I like Speith or Rose with strong winds, Roses ball striking, Speith's ability to grind it out, I think if the wind is up Day will struggle, he doesn't seem to scramble well, but of he can get to the greens he is playing as well as anyone, Rose's putting will keep him from winning, my prediction is Speith. There is just something about the way he hangs around.

Phil's shots were pitches though, this was from 160.

 

Can't wait for the round, if the wind is up I'm sure it's Day or Spieth because up the course will dry out quickly, the pinc will be tough and high 60's become great scores. If the conditions are like yesterday there are still lots of people in play. Someone back around 8 could shoot 65, post 15 under and then watch the party coming in. 17 and 18 get brutal under pressure. (Well they get brutal period because they are.)

 

BTW thinking back on all four tournaments I greatly prefer Fox's more frequent use of shot tracker. I'd like more of that please.

It's shaping up to be a great final day, plenty on contention. I like rose and Kaymer not being in final group, think that helps them.

 

But wouldn't it be great to see Day finally win a major.

Or Spieth get 3 legs of the Gramd Slam by age 22.

 

Actually, there isn't anyone on the first page of the leaderboard that I wouldn't like to see win.  Branden Grace has been a big factor on the weekend lately in majors.  I like his game too.

Was going to make the two hour drive with the wife to go to this today, but my neck/back has me worried about being in the car that long. Damn. It's a nice day, too!

 

Where do you live in Chicago?  I have made a lot of business trips there, but never played golf in Chicago. I worked on the SW side at Argonne off the Stevenson, and up on the NW side in Northbrook.  I had a friend that live off Irving Park and Sheridan near Wrigley.  For big city I love Chicago, except during the Dog Days.
