Spuzz Looks like a couple more than 6, what with him hitting a moving ball.

    What a start for the final group. The young guns come out as the only contenders with birdie putts to start the round.

    The leaders are backing up and the greens are showing their teeth.
    Could be a wild back 9 finish....and the fairways aren't getting much use today! 🤣 🤣

    At this moment, GolfMonster and draper are looking good w/Bryson. It's not over yet.

    darpar Seems like the new norm is to bomb your tee shot as far as you can, go find it, gouge it out
    of whatever lie you find it in, and repeat..

    That's what I do. So I'm a bomb and gouge guy? More like a bunt, bunt, wedge and putt guy.....

      Wow....the USGA is going to be flummoxed and hair on fire after this. JMO.

      DeShameLess is going to shut a lot of people up today. I need to go over to WRX and see what all the snobby haters are saying. I'm surprised to see his mental toughness. He used to come off as a whiner.

        Its okay if the longest are still the longest. But they are going to rein everyone in.

            DonM But they are going to rein everyone in.

            There are ways to set up courses to make them more of a skills test - but they will NEVER do that.

                Eguller Oh, he is still a whiner - it is easier when leading by 4 with 3 left

                I figured his emotions would unravel him. He was tough today.

                    I was more impressed with his putting than anything else!
                    Seemed like he made everything, like Tiger did in his prime.

                    DonM What else could they have done this week?

                    I wasn't suggesting this week specifically, but course/tournament design more so.

                      It's gonna be interesting to see what Bryson's impact will be on this 'one ball for all' campaign that some of the elder statesmen of the game have been talking about.

                      The thing about it though is that he wasn't just a one-trick pony this week off the tee, his entire game looked good. Some of us might not care too much for his strategy, but there is no greater strategy than winning.

                      Looking ahead to Augusta in November, it's hard to not consider him as the guy to beat. Light rough, wide fairways.. and his length is undoubtedly going to give him access to specific quadrants of those greens where he can be more aggressive, whereas a lot of players are playing away from many of those hole locations.

                      With exception of a handful of those 72 holes, it was like he was playing a different course this week from everyone else.
