Is it just me or does Bryson look like he's slimmed a pretty decent amount from his most bulked form? Could have just been a camera angle or something, but I swear he looks a lot slimmer than I'm remembering the last year.

Bigger clothes?

@THEZIPR23 mentioned he's tried slimming down a bit lately. According to an article I saw earlier, seems as though he last ~10 pounds since his previous high

Well whatever he lost, Cameron Smith gained.  He looks a bit heavier and stout this year...or is it the new mane and stache doing that?

Soly from No Laying Up is a +1.  They played from the Gold Tees at just over 7,000 yards.  He shot 85

 

But they also talked about how they would intentionally slow down the greens for this weekend vs the speed they played at

Well, the guarantee of hitting the ball a long way and blowing away the field is once again proven incorrect by Bryson shooting a smooth +6! Just TWELVE strokes behind the leaders.

I think Bryson is in the middle of a tinker time. I feel like he did this last year where he is trying to figure it out and once he does I'm looking forward to the fantasy points he brings in haha.

Yea, someone else I'm playing against this week has him on the roster and I'm sitting looking at the TV yelling "where they heck were you last season?" My new super-duper draft algorithm had him low on the list this year as rumors were circling that he was to marry... and we've recently seen Cupids effect on some players 🙂.

Clearly you didn’t know about the hair and mustache, or you would have known that Cupid is powerless against a force of nature like that (unless he marries Delilah.)

Hitting on Bryson again he was always an extremely streaky player before his make over - perhaps that tendency hasn't changed.  A benefit of season long fantasy golf is that you see that even top 50 players (or top 10) often go through long stretches where they are off.

 

It makes a generational player like Tiger or Jack that much more incredible.  If you look at their prime years they each seemingly had one down stretch, for them a year and a half or so without a major.  Jack won three majors after the age of 40, when he was essentially playing part time, that's a Hall of Fame career, post prime, playing part time.

 

So back to Bryson he may simply be a player who when he's on is really tough and when he's off, he's off.  Lanny Watkins and Ray Floyd jump to mind although Bryson has a long, long way to go to get to Floyd's level.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

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

Good points.  As compared to a team comprised of the top 8 OWGR, this group is killing them...to date.  4289.9 pts vs.  3236.35 pts.  Please tell me no one has this roster.

I am certainly not one to tell PGA pros how to play pitch/chip shots from off the green, but...

I've been sitting here watch the broadcast feeling miserable after my 2nd C-19 shot yesterday.  I cannot believe how many players seem to be playing a shot that they think will hop a couple of times and check up.  Problem is, the ball isn't checking up for the most part and they have a long par putt.  I'm not very good at that shot, but after a few times I would think they would fly the ball a little higher and shorter and allow for rollout.  That's my stock shot; not saying I could do better, but don't keep doing the same thing!!

I just noticed Wolff withdrew from the event.  I didn't read that it was due to injury.  That's kind of surprising given there is no cut.  Sure, yesterday was a disaster but one would think he'd take advantage of the next three rounds to right the ship and shake off the gremlins.  Plus, with his talent level, he stands a better than average chance of taking home more than the last place $32,000 payout.

I wonder if it's due to these particular greens and the variation in grain and slope they just don't see... the very ones Jack intended them not to 😆.  Sorry to hear you're feeling lousy from shot #2 but, by all accounts, you'll be back to normal in a day or two.  Let's hope C19 vaccinations do not become an annual event much like flu shots 😐.

His head was not into the round for whatever reason.  But a lot of big dogs struggled.  If there is no injury, I feel they should play.  It's part of the game to rebound, and he could have had 3 great days and catch up.

Thanks, my flu shot was painless but it was given by a doc, not some National Guardswomen (that probably hates old guys).  🤣

I'm throwing a vote in for this course to become a regular stop... we need a few more of these precision, think your way around the course venues.  Billy Horschel described it perfectly in his post round interview.  You have to plan where you're going to miss it as much as where you want to land it. 👍

No doubt.  These guys learn quickly and would identify the stay away shot selections. That said, I just like these less TPC style layouts for the more demanding position play and more punitive aspect of Concessions, or as Azinger called it, Concussions 😆.

I’d love to know how they get the fairways so firm. None of the courses I play are like that! Greens yes but we’ve had way more rain than normal this winter. It’s only finally dried out the past week and a half or so.

I've always wondered the same thing. I've heard some people say that PGA fairways can be just as firm and fast as many average muni greens!

I'm guessing just cut height.  Someone on the forum, on another "excessive distance thread", provided some interesting, very telling, data on fairway cut heights over the decades.  Basically, they've been getting shorter as the years roll along. 

Like you and @ncwoz, long rollout fairways are the exception not the norm for the courses I play.  It also seems that many of the landing areas the longer hitters get to are downgrade... the perfect combo for crazy drives.
