Cantlay is so bloody hard to watch, how many times do you need to look at the damn hole.

watching it early

the crap that Dechambeau was up to on greens was unreal.

The PGA don't seem to be buying into faster play at all .

is it 5.5 hours

ridiculous stuff

FixdePitchmark · 03-06-2018 8:23pm

playoff not one pro of 3 hit green in regulation

First Up · 03-06-2018 8:31pm

In a 3 way play-off, is it 1st, 2nd and 3rd, or 1st and joint 2nd?

Does Stanley share 2nd with whoever of the other two loses, even though he was eliminated first?

T2

Potential Underachiever · 03-06-2018 9:11pm

100% First then tied 2nd.

Dechambeau has the most unnatural looking swing. Looks like one of those machines they use to test shafts.

A very interesting debate going on on Twitter today about players not marking balls so as to assist other players. Read through the comments.

Really don't see the issue with this. It's within the rules

charlieIRL · 10-06-2018 9:27pm

Forget the ball marking, Putnam needs the clock put on him, he’s desperate slow. Frustrating to watch.
DJ looks, decided and hits. Refreshing to see.

fullstop · 10-06-2018 9:29pm

Par on the last for Power may be good enough for top-10,would be massive towards keeping his card.

Edit: actually only projected 120, thought it was higher.

charlieIRL · 10-06-2018 11:01pm

Some finish to a dull final round.

It's not really that black and white. Whatever your opinion on it, it's causing great stir among the pros.

Jimmy Walker came out and said he would only leave it unmarked if it was a player he liked. Lee Westwood is close to calling him a cheat.

Nice one, you get feedback and you ridicule people, how very mature of you.
Like the old saying goes if it ain't broke then don't try and fix it.

Fairly sure I also heard Shane o donoghue, last I heard from him he was doing the sports news on 2fm.

Spieth follows a 63 yesterday with a 73 today, can't figure him out recently.

And the bottler strikes again!! Even I didn’t think he could **** this one up... but he has

some round from Bubba though, to put the pressure on him

Paul Casey, the only player in the top 40 to shoot an over par round of golf

LuckyGent88 · 01-07-2018 11:04pm

Molinari the machine. Some performance

Another very solid week from Tiger

Great stuff from molinari, shoe in for the ryder cup.

The stretch in around the turn was some of the best golf I’ve ever seen.

Fully expected bubba to clean up here last night. Na was inspired with his 64 but bubba couldn't putt to save his life.

Na was excellent , needed a win after so many top 10s. The one who really catches the eye , finishing in the top 10 again is Joaquin Niemann. Only 19 he looks to be the real deal

kiers47 · 19-07-2018 4:50pm

It has gone largely under than raider to the casual fans and mainstream media due to it being a major week but it would be great to see Brittany Lincicome become the first female player to make a cut on the pga tour in the barbasol championship

Why is she playing with the men? I didn't think she was one of the top female players.

spacecoyote · 19-07-2018 6:09pm

I believe, from an interview, she is familiar with the course & when she plays there she generally plays with men & off the men's tee boxes.

I think in a practice round they said she shot level par but was having to hit a lot of hybrids in to greens, so it would be a tough ask to do that for 4 consecutive rounds.

She's not top ranked for the women's tour but I think she's up around the top 10 in terms of distances (averaging 269 yards). That distance would be outside the top 200 in the mens

Mushy · 19-07-2018 9:13pm

Tough task ahead for her, +6 after first round

How many yards is she off the median though?
Ignoring the top 20 men, Im sure there are buckets of them with only a yard or less in the difference?

/edit
Looks like she's ~25yards off the average which isnt too bad.

kiers47 · 30-07-2018 4:40pm

Not much talk of it here and only a minor event. But jesus how good is Dustin Johnson the man is now up to the same amount of PGA tour wins as Ernie Els and a few others. Just keeps churning out a bundle of wins every year.

Savage stuff from him in fairness.

He didnt even seemed fazed by it leading going out as if he was used to it! Suppose he is in a way. Some man for spitting, was wondering does he chew Tobacco or something!

Ya he is on the chewing tobacco.
Bit ignorant on the course alright.

charlieIRL · 30-07-2018 5:04pm

19 wins on the PGA tour now with 3 so far this year, that's very impressive. Also, to shoot a 66 in the final round while leading shows where his game is at. I think it could be awhile before anyone claims that No.1 spot from him.

Some stats from the PGA website
Year to date: 3 wins, 9 top 10's out of 14 events played!!
Career: 19 wins, 86 top 10's and 235 events played.

He's career earning is $54,479,689!!!

mickmackey1 · 30-07-2018 5:26pm

The more cerebral setup of the Major courses tends to find him out though.

They are pretty good friends I believe.

I don’t think it was...looked like an older guy to me. He seemed very hunched and looked taller than Jordan (who’s only 6’6”)

Looked heavy too. That’s why I was wondering was it him.

Firestone looks like my kind of golf course, in pristine condition.

Minderbinder · 03-08-2018 4:28pm

Anyone know if a win in the Barracuda gives a two year exemption on tour? As it doesn’t yield full fedex cup points I wasn’t sure.

Searched online and found this.....

The Barracuda Championship is an alternate event, which means the winner does not earn a Masters Tournament invitation. The winner still earns 24 OWGR points, 300 FedEx Cup points, a two-year tour exemption, and entry to the PGA Championship.

Is it just me or is the quality of the sound on sky's broadcast of the Bridgestone Invitational tonight incredibly poor.

A Rory/Shane double would be pretty nice this evening.

DJ on the move early, birdied his first 4 holes.

On a serious charge

Serious altogether. The 59 watch is on.

Joe_ Public · 05-08-2018 7:34pm

Serious chance alright. By my count 4 more birdies with no dropped shots would do it.
