I'll take that action

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  I just heard about Sage Steele.  Hopefully she's okay.

When Tiger is right on the cut line, I actually kind of want him to miss the cut.

It's beneath a golfer of his caliber to have to slop around on the weekend, trying to finish in the top 50, or within 20 strokes of the leaders. Especially when that golfer is playing on a bum leg.

I don't really feel "sorry" for him, but I do feel, "What's the point?"

That's who Tiger is right now. Not too many great athletes hang 'em up in their prime. The point is he still wants to compete and fans still want to watch him play. Trying to bounce back from a horrific injury at his age is a compelling story imo even if/when he falls short.

Fantastic that Tiger put up a 69 today under tough conditions.

Exceedingly nice.

Tiger making a huge move today.

[PGsHeroes32]

Not surprising but through two tournies its been the same for Tiger.

Enough natural talent to pick up some clubs and play two rounds of solid enough golf.

But his rusty game/body cannot hold up for a full weekend.

If he wants to win again, he'll have to play more and I'm not sure he can

Things did not work out well for Tiger today.

Weather got cold.


Zalatoris may bring a whole bunch if people back into this.   Pereira is the wild card.

Who is Mito?

[tower912]

Who is Mito?

Part of a movement.


Young Chilean.  Pretty much an unknown.

[Uncle Rico]

Who is Mito?

He won twice (back-to-back) on the KFT last June to earn a promotion.  He had lost in a playoff the tournament before his back-to-back wins.  He would have been on tour earlier if not for covid, having won on the KFT in February of '20.  He was pretty dominant on the Latin American Tour before his promotion to KFT (Web at the time).  Only a matter of time before he wins on the big tour

As I said yesterday .., what's the point? He'd have been better off missing the cut by 1.

Because he can

[MuggsyB]

WTH was that pitch from Zalatoris?  Tower would have holed that shot. 

[MU82]

Because he can

Oh I'm not saying he didn't have the right to play (which is darn nice of me, yes). But he was laboring yesterday, and limping, and obviously had nothing to gain by playing today.

He reportedly might not play tomorrow, which would be wise. Why punish yourself?

[MuggsyB]

My pick was clearly off.  Mito?  JT?

[PGsHeroes32]

Zalatoris not handling the conditions well early.

JT needs to smell blood.

[tower912]

No.

WZ slept on a lead in a major.   He is struggling.   Simple math.

[Lennys Tap]

Sleeping one shot back must be a whole lot easier.

[tower912]

Clearly. 

[MuggsyB]

Mito may no longer be a myth.
