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

playoff not one pro of 3 hit green in regulation

First Up

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?

good question

I think it is
1st
T2

Potential Underachiever

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

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.

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.

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.

James and Nick on grand few days out in Connecticut, 10 minutes chat max every hour, it's worth being on the SS Golf C team

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.

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

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

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

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

Tough task ahead for her, +6 after first round
