FrogginBullfish Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Second round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs this weekend. Olympia Fields Country Club in Illinois is hosting the event for the first time. Justin Thomas is the defending champion, winning last year's tournament which was played at Medinah Country Club. Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson have both won this event twice in the past. After obliterating the field last week, it'll be interesting to see if DJ can keep it going this week. Tiger, on the other hand, will likely need a Top 5 finish to have a realistic chance of making it to the Tour Championship. Olympia Fields has hosted some big time tournaments in the past, most recently the 2017 Women's PGA Championship and the 2015 U.S. Amateur, which was won by Bryson DeChambeau. Before that, it has hosted two PGA Championships, in 1925 and 1961, and two U.S. Opens, in 1928 and 2003. It also hosted the 1997 U.S. Senior Open. Hopefully, it'll be another great week of golf.

Kenny B Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I expect Morikawa to play well, and I think Patrick Cantley and Jason Day will move into the Tour Championship. yungkory 1 Quote “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...

Kenny B Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Well, I did it again. Thought Morikawa and J Day would be up there. +6 for both!! But it's still early. At least I was right about Cantley making a move this week. But again, it's early.

ejgaudette Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If the course conditions don't get any easier this could play like a 4th major.

Kenny B Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Did the USGA change the venue for the US Open and didn't tell anyone?

FrogginBullfish Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Wow, 2 players under player. Only 4 at even or better. Leaders only 1 under.

Going to be interesting tomorrow. I think DJ might pull it out. DJ looked a little frustrated with the putts, but so did everyone. If he can figure it out, I like his chances. However, I think someone in the +1 or +2 groups could post a number that holds up. Like Rory or Adam Scott. I don't think anyone further back has a chance. aerospace_ray and Rickp 2 Quote “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...
revkev Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Matsuyama that dog!!!!!! Aghhhhh where were you the past six weeks? :)I hope either he wins at -2 or Dustin at even because nothing would be cooler than the same guy winning back to back weeks with a 30 stroke differential between the 2 winning scores.

ncwoz Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I don't envy the pros at all, but I like watching tournaments when the course is playing really difficult. I'm not sure about who's coming out on top this week, but it feels like DJ's definitely gonna be the guy to beat for the FedEx!

GolfSpy_APH Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm thinking Mackenzie Hughes may have a shot at it. Has arguably had one of the best weeks so far and had 4 straight bad holes which he made 4 straight bogeys. He's been playing well and seems to have a at least two hands on the wheel at this course.
