This is only marginally related, but do you think by now ESPN could update their profile picture of Bryson? He hasn't looked like this for awhile...

    Cantlay takes a 2 shot lead over Bryson after 5.

    That heart monitor they just pictured live while Rory was putting was freaking awesome.

      Cantlay is on fire with birdies on 4 of the first 5 holes.

      Bryson has a chance to cut the lead to one with a marvelous 220 yard 8 iron to the par 3 6th. It's turning into a 2 man horse race.

      My resting heart rate is < 60, I can't get near that rate unless I'm running or cycling (hard!). It does seem a bit high but I'd like to know his rhr?

        Sergio Garcia may have missed the cut to make the Championship with a shank! 😨He's currently outside the top 30...

        sdandrea1 - Bryson hit a bailout shot to help take the water and a bogey (or worse) out of the equation (like yesterday). He got up and down from off the apron, is still leading by one and just striped one on 14. He's clicking...

          Bryson looks on & confident, but conservative Cantley just might wear him down.
          'Death by 1000 paper cuts'..... 🤑

            rsvman2 In what way? Hitting the ball a long way?

            Nope. It appears that he arrogantly yelled over at Patrick to 'stop moving' when he was
            getting ready to hit a fairway shot. He could have been more polite about it.

                Sergio made birdie on 16 and parred in to finish currently in 29th, inside the cut line of Top 30s. Patrick Reed, recently released from the hospital after fighting double pneumonia, got bumped from the final field since he's been unable to play in these finals and add to his points.

                Eguller I think he said Patrick, stop walking.
                If he was about to hit his approach shot, it is basic etiquette to not walk into his peripheral vision. Sheesh. I would expect that much courtesy from a 20-capper at the local muni.

                    True, but the tour pros do it without thinking much about it to save time (for decision making).
                    Either way, he could have been more courteous (re: professional) about it IMO.

                        I think they were still on the tee box and initially I thought Bryson was telling a fan to stop walking. I thought "good luck with that" since there were 1000s crowded along the finishing holes. Regardless, it's common courtesy and sportsmanship to remain silent and otherwise not distract a fellow competitor.

                        We have a guy in our Monday group that used to 'discreetly' pull this crap but he's the most sensitive if you are too close to him on/near the tee box, inadvertent shadows, or breathing.
