StrokerAce Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 ...am I the only one who caught Johnny Miller describing Kuchar's swing as "aim right, swing left" ?? He's one of the biggest single-plane guys on tour. is that his secret? I might try that next time at the range...

Undershooter Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Spieth's notes from the final round. Note the asterisk. IMG_1781.JPG - Alan I just posted the same thing in the thread about the 13th hole. Pretty good guess I'd say. I think he had the right stick if he hadn't hit it fat. Its bad to say because the thing took 25 minutes but I think he actually rushed hitting his 3rd because he knew it was taking so long.

I just doubt that we will get more than 1 or 2 tournaments where they are hot at the same time. Here's hoping that those 2 events are majors.

When compared to the rest of the field, Grace's 62 was the 63rd best round on tour.... THIS SEASON Grace's round was better than 63rd best this season but Johnny Miller is correct that it doesn't remotely compare to a final round 63 at Oakmont. I'd vote for Birkdale as a major venue anytime. I thought the course was magnificent. Very Augusta like. But with a stronger field.

I'd vote for Birkdale as a major venue anytime. I thought the course was magnificent. Very Augusta like. But with a stronger field. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I guess it probably is better than the 63rd best round on tour this season given the circumstances.What I meant was, given what he shot compared to the field. He gained 6.7 strokes on field on Saturday. There have been (oddly enough) 62 rounds on tour this season that gained more strokes on the field than Grace did Saturday. To me, this is the best way to measure how good a round really was. Par is meaningless and so is the # shot if the conditions are easy and everyone goes low.

Undershooter Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 So, do they need to put an asterisk next to Grace's 62? Nah... Its still the only 62 in a major. But its not nearly as impressive as Johnny's 63. Or even Thomas' 63 from earlier in the season at the US open.
