Should be a great Sunday of golf.

Which is something that's never said when I tee it up on a Sunday.

Should be a great Sunday of golf.

Which is something that's never said when I tee it up on a Sunday.

PGA setup has been bad this week.  No separation at the top.

30 players between -1 and -4.  Credit to Smalley for his finish when most guys were vomiting over themselves on 18.  That birdie was probably worth a shot and a half on the field.

PGA's move to May is no better than having it in August.  In August, this track probably allows for some separation but not in May.  May golf north of the Mason-Dixon Line limits what you can do to the course.  Too bad in this case.

Will be very curious to see how Frisco plays next year because this whole move revolved around that despite what they may say.  They own the venue.  Built it for this event to host every 7-9 years.  If that's another Valhalla, and that's the vibe, what a terrible move.

It doesn't bother me, Unk. I like having a major to watch in May ... and it's all about me, you know?

The PGA shouldn't be a major.  The Australian Open should be

That would be fine with me ... but it isn't. So this is what we've got.

[MuggsyB]

Who ya got?  Will it be a surprise wimner or Rory, Ludwig, Xander, or Rahm?  If Smalley has a rough start this could be a crazy day.  Aberg is my pick so I assume he's toast. 

[MuggsyB]

Kitayama posts a 63.  This could be absolutely wild if the weather stays the same. 

[MuggsyB]

I'm predicting -8 is our winner.

Rahm'll get to -10

[MuggsyB]

Rahm'll get to -10

Dammit.  Jinx him!!

[Uncle Rico]

Dammit.  Jinx him!!

He's going to win at least two majors this year

[MuggsyB]

It's absolutely wide open.  And the back 9 is harder.  Big miss by Rory from the tee box on 10.  He needs to make a move.  It's looking more like -7 or possibly -6.  No one is usurping the tournament just yet.

I think JT can put his feet up and practice his speech.

It's getting crazy.  I think it will be -6 but you could be right.  Rory unfortunately missed a good opportunity.  If it winds up -5 it will be a playoff.

Rahm has this wrapped up

Nope.  If Rai makes this putt he's in a tremendous position.

He'll choke

 🦣 🦣 putt.  Absolutely Gargantuan. 

[tower912]

Rai getting to 7 is going force everybody else to get aggressive.

[Uncle Rico]

🦣 🦣 putt.  Absolutely Gargantuan. 

He'll finish at -4

[MuggsyB]

Rai getting to 7 is going force everybody else to get aggressive.

That's why I stated it was 🦣 🦣 🦣 Tower.  I think he has +1 to play with his final 4 holes.  I've already given him a par on 14. 

[MuggsyB]

He'll finish at -4

+3 the final four holes?  That would be beyond shocking.  +2?  Perhaps. 

[MuggsyB]

It looks over to me.  Brilliant decision and execution for Rai on 15. 

[MuggsyB]

Oh....whoops.  I forgot about Schmid.  It's a two man race.

[MuggsyB]

Dumbass fan taunting Rory.
