PGA Championship

[Herman Cain]

The PGA championship is being held at Bellerive Country Club this year. Reports are out that the course condition is soft, it is a long course and the greens are relatively small.  This kind of set up will definitely favor longer hitters with a good iron game. If the course dries up it will bring more potential challengers into play.  Should be a wide open championship this year.

I like DJ this week.

Rory has pretty good track record playing soft courses in a major. That said, I would not be surprised if someone outside top 50 rankings wins it.

All the 2018 major winners have been wearing Nike, with mixed bags.

Finau? Fleetwood? Kyle Stanley?

Quote from Tiger before the tournament has started:

"Right now it doesn't really favor anyone because it's playing so soft,'' Woods said. "The ball is just plugging out there, and if anything it favors a guy who hits the ball high. Because we're not going to get any run, it's not going to dry out the rest of the week. It's going to be hot, it's going to be wet, and fortunately I'm one of the guys who hit the ball high and get the ball up in the air, and you just need to get the ball out there.''

This may be the week....

It won't be. He's going to be punished off the tee.

Fowler off to a strong start at 5 under. Jason Day at 3 under is positioned well after the first round.Tiger and Rory get out of the gates early and post even par which should keep them in the hunt if they can come up with a strong round tomorrow.

Long and soft just is a bad visual. Knot good, aina?

Ok. Lets call it warm moist and receptive then...

Tiger finishes up the second round at 4 under. He is well positioned to win this tournament.

You continue to be wrong and more wrong.

This TNT coverage is awful.

Edit - Just as I post that, we get 5 minutes on Barkley swing. Fresh content TNT.

Don't you see, as long as he makes the cut, he's still going to magically be Tiger from 2000 and shoot 63-63 on Sat/Sun to run away with it.

If you're a Tiger fan, be thrilled that he's back playing and making major cuts again.  If he stays healthy, he might have a chance to contend for another major.  But he's nowhere near a top 10 player on tour and this constant "Tiger is lurking" talk is silly, especially when he's 6 back with multiple major winners like Koepka, Johnson, Thomas in front of him, not to mention guys like Fowler and then Kisner, who has been on fire.

Agreed, except DJ and JT only have one major each.

Tiger coming out strong now. None of the guys ahead have experienced what it is like to compete against the Mozart of golf.

Tell that to Koepka, he's only won back to back US Opens. 

Tiger playing very good though, but many major winners within striking distance if Koepka falters abit. 
Day, Scott, Thomas, Speith, Molinari....

I am surprised that so many are faltering this early in the championship at the appearance of Tiger high on the leaderboard. Spieth in particular seems intimidated by Tiger, and is collapsing. I really enjoy watching true greatness in action.

That's some true greatness as he is negative strokes off the tee.

You're an idiot.

Tiger tied for best round of the day so far. Throwing darts at the flag. 
 
Woodland just collapsed.....

[tower912]

Brooks Koepka is a bad man.

Cain will arrange a phone call from Kostas to Tiger to make sure Tiger has his head on stright tomorrow.

Brooks Koepka is a bad man.

We went to the same high school, albeit it a couple years apart. Both of us even played varsity golf for the school.

Tiger just three jacked it from 20 feet.  Must be intimidated by Koepka at top of leaderboard.

Koepka keeps driving it it fairway at 325 and hits 160 yd wedges, ridiculous.
