Are ALL the young guns (Hovland, Wolff, Morikawa) in the field? No scar tissue on these guys. I’d be willing to wager some $$ on those three.

No Morikawa.  What are the odds that Hovland and Wolff are paired together??

Odds were always in their favor as this event is scheduled right before Bay Hill and The Players. I can’t think of many top tier guys who want to play three weeks in a row.

Add to that, the course is straight trash.

Now you’ve got an event where the “other guys” can make some money without facing too many top 50 guys.

I’ll take Jason Kokrak the win.

VJ is playing custom Mizuno MP20 irons.  They have 2 numbers stamped on the sole... club number and bounce.  All of the irons are weakened; e.g., his 9i that was 42º is now his PW at 45º with 3º more bounce.

If Morikawa were in, I'd be pulling for him. As is, I think I'd like to see KM repeat or BK decimate the field.

I read somewhere last year that he has them bent super weak to get rid of the offset that he despises.

I think his MP18’s were the same way.

Ian from TXG did the exact same thing in Matt's live iron fitting. Had him try the T100S that he bent 3 degrees weak to remove all of the offset.

VJ previously used MP4's.  He wanted more bounce than the MP20's have because of his steep swing.

But I’m picking Vijay.

I started to pick Singh last night and let him slide and picked Furyk instead.  Wait and see game.

You win @Shankster Furyk is +8.  Shot a 7 on the Par 3 17th. 🤬

I’m in Port St Lucie, just North of the tournament - it’s Florida cold - 60’s but that feels colder because of the moisture in the air - but no wind really - can’t imagine why the course is playing so tough - it is heavy and wet though - maybe there’s something to shortening driving distance by making it wet - all that water gets scary with 8 iron instead of wedge in hand! :)

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

Okay I take it back about the wind and it’s coming for the opposite direction of the 1st two rounds - that means it’s going to warm up and it’s the same direction as practice rounds

Much of my wife's family lives here - we come over 3 or 4 times a year.  We usually stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in PGA village - not this time - they were charging $300 a night and I'd be in it for two rooms for two nights - did an Air BnB instead for half that price - very nice digs - having a great time.

Dad and I wanted to fly down this month to see a longtime family friend who is sick. $600 round trip was insanity. Gotta love Florida peak season.

Have fun and enjoy some cooler temps. As you know they don’t last.
