I love seeing stocky Irishmen do well.


Poop.

Poop.

He played well enough to win, Straka just played better

[tower912]

Poorly timed downpour.   Hurt Shane's tee shot on 18.

[Herman Cain]

PGA National is a tough course . Quality win for Straka

Zach Johnson is the 2023 Ryder Cup captain.

Which way does the causality go?  Did Phil go scorched earth because he knew the PGA was not going to name him captain?  Or did him going scorched earth mean the PGa went with the nice, quiet, respectable guy because there was no way they could give it to Phil now?

And congratulations to Zach.

I think the general assumption was Phil was going to get the 2025 captaincy at Bethpage because of his history there

Stricker was going to roll up back in Italy until he got sick. ZJ just fulling a need until Tiger captains at Bethpage now.

Player-captain?

Player-captain?

18 months ago, I would've said yes.

[Uncle Rico]

Player-captain?

I doubt Tiger would be able to walk Bethpage competitively, even in 3 years

[tower912]

Yep.  I don't see how he walks it.  Especially 36 in a day.

Almost impossible to believe:

Jon Rahm missed a 10-inch putt -- leaving it 7 inches short!

next to strick, zach cut from the same mold

Jin Young Ko won her 6th title in 10 starts.  She has 15 consecutive rounds in the 60's and in her last 30 rounds, she's under-par.

That is golfing the ball

[Herman Cain]

Bay Hill is proving to be a tough test . Scoring is more like a PGA Championship than a regular tour event

Great to see Scheffler win (grabbed him at +800 yesterday).

[MU_B]

Heading to the Players on Friday.  Hopefully to kill some time before watching Marquette in the Semi Finals.

Weather is going to be lousy this week at The Players. Lots of Thunderstorms expected.

Yea.  I live about 10 miles from Sawgrass, and it's been pretty rough all morning. (with no end in sight.) 

Guessing this will be a Monday/Tuesday finish.


Made it out to watch about 90 minutes of action yesterday afternoon.  Will try to do the same today if the course isn't underwater by 4 when the rain clears. 

[rocket surgeon]

damn...like a cow pissin on a flat rock

[Uncle Rico]

Pure carnage in store at Sawgrass today.

[Dish]

It's almost impossible to land it on the green at 17 today off the tee.

Just before the horn sounded , Louie Oosthuizen hit his second shot on the Par 5 Second to six feet . He will have that out for Eagle first thing in the morning . Currently at -3 .

I think they this windy setting might work in Louies favor the next few days . Seems like he is always hanging around the top at these big events

Also Bubba Watson may be factor with his ability to bend the ball

[Herman Cain]

Packed leaderboard at The Players. Most of the leaders will have to play 27 holes Monday.

Also , Paul McGinley is fantastic on The Golf Channel , really outclasses and is much more interesting than Chamblee
