Self driving cars in a Midwest snowstorm with the lines and sensors covered.    (Gary Cole in Office Space)  Yeahhh.

Of course, some people struggle with that scenario.

So, hero ball.   They are talented young players.   Hopefully, they can have showdowns that matter in the future.

Are Scoopers more impressed by Ant or SGA?  I think OKC blew this series, but mainly because of inexperience.  There were big stretches is certain games where they took bad shots and kicked the ball away.  They could also use an additional big.  P.J. Washington really was the difference in this series which I never imagined would be the case. 

SGA isn't as explosive as Edwards but has a cool, calm, and unflappabe quality to his game.  I think he's more consistent but not as good a defender.   Personally, if I was coaching last night, I would have liked to see SGA have the ball on every possession in the 4Q.  He can pretty much get to his spots at will as well as shred the doubles or what have you.  Tremendous footwork and the guy never looks rushed.

They stink

Nah, it is a major.   The trophy says so.   The rain has rendered the course basically defenseless.  So, it feels like Hartford/Phoenix/Detroit.   If a course is soft and there isn't any wind, you can stretch a course to 8000 and these guys will shred it.

I think 20 under wins it.   I don't know who gets there.

The problem is it’s straight and the green complexes are easy.  It’s not a major venue.  It’s fine for the Ryder Cup to help America win because it’s driver/wedge.  When JT is saying this out loud, you know it’s just not enough of a challenge for these guys:

Fluff is right.  It won’t host another men’s major, especially after the Scheffler incident and the fact it got sold.

It’ll probably be an exciting finish but a crowded leaderboard with this many low scores shows just what a bad course this is for a major.

Bring on Pinehurst

I’m very bullish on EVs generally but very skeptical of “full self driving.”

The only people doing it are Waymo and even then only in a relatively constrained geographic area (San Francisco I believe).

I’m skeptical because 1. Unconstrained geographic scope strains the model almost infinitely more than constrained. And 2. The chips, sensors, and other hardware necessary to do it aren’t included on Teslas (even ones that they’ve conned their buyers into paying to reserve FSD) and I don’t think the cost of that equipment is tenable on a mass market perspective.


Eg if it costs $50k more to equip a care such that it could pull off FSD, who is going to pay for that just for the novelty of riding along?

Given the events this week, course conditions and the fact that the PGA no longer owns the course, I doubt any majors will be held here in the future.

Leaderboard is full of big names. Can Xander finally win a major after knocking at the door? Lots of guys looking to add to their major collection .

The way the course is playing with greens soft it a entirely possible someone shoots another 62 or 63 and posts a good score  early

It’s not a major

It wasn't about hitting the ball first. Its about dislodging the ball from the shooter. If he had lost control of the ball, the subsequent contact on the arm would have been ignored. But since the ball wasn't dislodged, and was still in the act of shooting, the foul was called with the contact to the arm.

It was an obvious foul and the OKC coach should never have called for a review.
We are saying the same thing. Generraly when you block a shot, and hit the ball first. it dislodges.
