Playing close to 7900 yards with wind. Going to play long. Doubt a 10 capper could break 100 from the tips. Might not be able to break 110.

BDC doing his best impression of TW with his drives.
Helmets anyone?
LOL

Dufner and Bradley on the first page of the leaderboard (1+2 as I type this)
Been a while since that happened.

    Spuzz I was just going to ask if anyone saw that. I LOL'd last evening when it was happening. I wonder if there would be a penalty for that? Maybe a fine.

        DonM I wonder if there would be a penalty for that?

        Fine for sure.
        No idea how much.

        There should be a fine for Rory and Koepka for dorkish behaviour, imo.

            They rehearsed that for hours and then NAILED it!

              Good natured Rahm just smacked a microphone.

              LOL
              Maybe Twitter will have something later...

              Dechambeau just lucked into a miracle . Boo. Anyone but him.

              Nice start to the day by Mickelson.

              Louis hits it in the water on 13 after pulling to within 2. Then Phil rinses his and has to retee! About to get tight at the top!

                I think Lefty might be getting tired.

                SlevinKelevra Not a true angle from the drone/blimp, but it was close to catching the edge of the rough before curving into the hazard. Even Phil said it crossed on the tee box. No booth review that I am aware of, so play it like you see it. Phil still had a chance to save par after a great 4th shot, but missed. Then missed again for birdie on the next hole. Needs that putter to stay hot these next few holes.

                    I am still amazed at the grass on these greens, they look like astro turf! Amazing conditions!

                    If Louis putts decent he's tied or in the lead. Threw away too many strokes!

                    Phil is striping it and hitting his targets.

                    Sunday will be fun!

                    The only advantage Phil has today is experience. Experience tells me that experience is overrated if you don't know where the ball is going.

                    If he's still leading at the turn, I like his chances. If not.... it was just another good week.

                    Phil not Thrilled with CBS's tv drone. Can't say that I blame him. I saw the incident happen live on the hole, and obviously the hum of the drone itself was distracting, let alone having a mini helicopter buzzing around in his line of flight.

                    I think they're great for enhancing the tv coverage, but the guy who was at the controls yesterday definitely invaded Phil's airspace.

                    Some good scores already there, Higgo is -5 after the front nine; granted +6 for the tourney
