Tinker

its a lacking aspect on tour. Events with course like these separate the wheat from the chaff and are truly a test that rewards the best of the week.

last week's course was a joke and should never be allowed to be used in an event of that importance. Taking Nothing away from DJ, he had his A+ game and would likely have prevailed no matter the venue.

that all said, tough courses like this week and a US Open set up are probably too punishing week in and week out. Playoffs and majors need to be hard, other events can be easier.

i do really wish they would provide more punishment for wayward tee shots week in week out. Increase the rough a bit and furrow the sand traps as bunkers are almost an advantage to the rough and dont penalize the player for an errant shot

    Tinker It's a good one, for sure. No tricked up anything anywhere. No complaints from anyone. The winner may well be decided on the final putt Sunday.

    There will be a big weather change for them on the weekend.

      If the greens soften due to rain, all bets are off. Firm, fast greens and a bit of wind were the factors.

        Eguller There was rain heading that way, but I think it missed. Temps are to drop considerably, along with humidity. Should be a perfect weekend for the finish.

          Now you've got me interested....I'll have to watch this afternoon!!

          DonM We got around 0/10ths. ๐Ÿ˜‚ North and South/Southwest of us got plenty. I like brown grass; when the wind blows it seems to shorten itself.

          Funny...last few times I've played, and it hasn't rained for quite some time now, I was getting mud balls in the fws, at 3 different courses. Kinda pissed me off as I do like the bouncers/rollers this time of year.

          sdandrea1 They should be playing Rex golf...do not try to hit those greens. They've been like concrete with balls bouncing over them.

          We got 2 hours of gully washer downpours last night and now steady rain camped over us. Thank you Laura!

          Spuzz had a good round going......did he not have any fairway to drop in ?

            ode did he not have any fairway to drop in ?

            I don't think he made the fairway.

            Yeah itโ€™s super fun watching unmakeable 10 foot putts. ๐Ÿฅฑ

            DonM No one wants to watch us play either.

            I don't even want to watch me play......

            Thought I just heard Dustin Johnson whisper after birdie on #1 " You guys wanna play for money ? " ๐Ÿคฃ

            615 yds. - Driver/iron = eagle putt. OKKKKK....

            2 under after 2 holes........and just stuck it pretty close on #3. A Game.....

            Hell of a putt DJ. Rahm, you remember not marking your ball yesterday? Ouch........

            Weirfan didn't watch it live but must have been a thrilling watch live based on your clips.

            I almost crapped my pants when DJ made his putt. I did when Rahm made his. ๐Ÿ˜›

            My wife, daughter, son in law and grandkids were glued to the screen. It was awesome!

              swinnea ๐Ÿ˜‚ Had forgotten that I posted that! I did say the same thing to my wife as it came on TV. You could just feel it even on Thursday.

              Wh...wh...WHAT!!! My PVR ran stopped when just before Dustin's ball came to rest on the back of the 18th green. I was pissed, but thought, "Meh, I know what happened anyways." I guess not! Damn!
