Phoenix Open chat

So on Wednesday there was a streaker:

Thursday was the official start of the biggest golf party of the year:

On Friday Bryson finished T1 with Ricky Fowler, and all of a sudden searches for "single length clubs" on my website have spiked.
What will the weekend bring?
Anyone else watching?

If you've never been to the Phoenix Open, you owe it to yourself to make it down here to attend one year. It's unlike any golf tournament you'll ever go to, and that's both good and bad. But mostly good. And yes, I'm still a little drunk from today. 😎

I have a standing invitation to go with friends living in the Valley but I've never made it. I've played the courses several times and would also enjoy walking it in the gallery. I guarantee this is one event I'll attend in the future.

I'm rooting for my homeboy, Gary Woodland, to challenge coming down the stretch Sunday. He's in a T-8th (3 off the lead) heading into Saturday's round after a triple bogey on the Par 3 fourth hole Friday. I watch this tournament even without my favorite player in contention.

Go Bryson.

Went out Friday. Had a good time. I stay away from the 16th like the plague. I prefer to hang out on the west end of the course.

Stick it CBS. You advertise a 3:00 CST start on the weekend and Golf Channel hands the coverage over timely. Golf Channel starts showing their regularly scheduled movie "The Squeeze" and CBS has almost 10 minutes left on the clock of the Missouri - KY basketball game. 40 minutes later we still don't have golf.

KY sucks, and I am a UK Alum. Calipari's "one and done" is biting him on the arse finally.

Basketballs problem is games never end. With 2 minutes left give team that was fouled option of shooting foul shots or putting ball back in play. Problem solved.

It's not unprecedented to have one of the 'mainstream' networks to defer coverage back to Golf Channel to keep doing the live broadcast. It would have worked today as all Golf Channel was showing was an old movie for the upteenth time. 45 minutes of now live golf was no different than 45 minutes of dead air on the radio, to me.

mikeintopeka that was the 1st time I saw that flick, not too bad. At least the guys looked like they could play some. Wonder who got the gun.

Bryson is tied for the lead and has been getting some love all along today's round from the pressbox.

I am a Bryson fan but I wish he would get rid of that ********* hat.

Rickochet - hear those finger nails on the chalkboard sound? That's Bryson's death grip while trying to hold onto first place by himself. He found the water left on 17 so he'll be scrambling to save par.

Spuzz

Fowler looks like he's somewhere else and Justin Thomas had another hissy fit today.
Odd.

Rickochet

Spuzz and Justin Thomas had another hissy fit today

Her really doody's his drawers. Starts off with 6 birdies and shoots even par. He one handed a tap in and knocked it 4 feet away for a 3 putt. Nice attitude. 😡

Rickochet I thought you might notice that post 😄
I’m not a UK fan, but do respect the history and fan base.
My Hoosiers are struggling mightily 😖

Go Bryson!!

ValueGolf if he could only putt!

Rickochet

ValueGolf Go Bryson!!

Plus one. I heard them say yesterday that he switched to set of new irons last week because he had worn the faces down too much on his old ones.

and control his hooks off the tee box!
LOL

Rickochet

Spuzz and control his hooks off the tee box!

He needs a hat with a longer bill on it to keep the sun out of his eyes.

Spuzz that too, seems like his 1 plane swing is prone to the pull hook on the clubs that aren't 1 length, ie driver and 3w...a bit over the top at times.

Rickochet - and didn't they say Bryson put a fiberglass shaft in his putter?
