Fancy Bryson or Rahmbo this week.

DuckSlice · 27-08-2020 8:17am

I think Rory will shock us all this week and pull out a good performance.

slave1 · 27-08-2020 9:31am

I know Dustin was just off the planet last week but I really liked Tiger on Sunday, he looks super off the tee, don’t know if he’s playing this week, just a general comment really

He is down to tee off today.

Can everyone still win the fed ex? if 70th wins the remaining comps can they take the winners cheque?

Whoever wins the Tour championship wins the FedEx. Number 1 seed starts the tournament on -10 under. Whoever wins this week would almost certainly qualify for next week and hence, have a chance to take the winners cheque.

Is lowry playing?

No, 123rd in the Fedex rankings, so way off the required top 70.

abff · 27-08-2020 2:34pm

I guess Phil needed to burn off some of the frustration he must have felt after falling out of the top 70 last week. I know $450,000 is small change to someone when his record, but a win is a win. Wouldn't be surprised if were to go on and win the overall Charles Schwab Series, assuming he bothers taking part in it.

ionadnapokot · 27-08-2020 9:19pm

Course is playing tough.
Finding it more entertaining than last week.
-8 or -9 might win it this week. This is the week Tony Finau wins a big one!

28-08-2020 12:48am

I do prefer this especially every now and again, could even get tougher with lower temperatures promised as the ball wont fly as much. Depends on rain a bit.

As the greens are lighting fast right now also.

-8 to - 10 always seems like a fairer test of golf on the players and there skill abilities. This potentially being much worse

Dont know if its always the case but the rough before the bunkers sometimes the ball stopping in it on a down slope in the rough or bunker makes it also more challenging.

Im a fan of golf when the places designed for golfers not to hit it are punished

Wichita Lineman · 28-08-2020 8:38am

I enjoyed watching the golf last night when they actually looked like they had to think about what they were doing rather than just boom with a driver, swish with a wedge and go for eagles.

Dr. Bre · 28-08-2020 10:02am

Only 3 players under par. It’s a tough course

I like that. It already suits Rory. He can't do a birdie fest at the moment but I'd fancy him to play level or slightly under on a tough course. If he's in contention on a non-masters Sunday, he's going to be up for it, crowd or no crowd.

Bubbaclaus · 28-08-2020 6:54pm

It's interesting to think that the winner this week will have a head start over most or all of the field to get another win in the next event. Good opportunity for someone to get back to back wins and walk away with 15 million.

Slanty · 28-08-2020 8:12pm

Really liking this course. Haven’t enjoyed a tournament like this in a long time.

Once I see -8 after the first round I tend to not bother watching.

charlieIRL · 28-08-2020 10:01pm

That rough is tough!!

abff · 29-08-2020 10:23am

That’s some scoring! Reminiscent of a US Open. Only two players under par and average score more than 5 over par. Makes for much more interesting golf than watching birdie fests.

Dr. Bre · 29-08-2020 7:43pm

Rahm in the clubhouse at plus 2 . That could be a good score as currently only one player under par

4Ad · 29-08-2020 8:20pm

This golf course and golf is so much more enjoyable than last weeks birdie fest...a real test.

Slanty · 29-08-2020 10:37pm

Great round by Rahm. Will come into Sunday feeling confident. Has always been vocal about how much he loves a challenging course.

Worth a tenner!

Mushy · 29-08-2020 11:03pm

Costly bogey at end for Rory. Longer putts just wouldnt fall for him. Should be a great final day

Dr. Bre · 30-08-2020 11:13pm

Rahm looking good

DJIMI TRARORE · 30-08-2020 11:19pm

Grear to c a proper golf competition, US open standard scoring, Rahm looks like the winner

Happy4all · 30-08-2020 11:29pm

Another poor Sunday for Rory.

4Ad · 30-08-2020 11:49pm

Niemann was unlucky to land in that divot on 15...probably ruined his day..Rahm was on fire though !

PARlance · 30-08-2020 11:50pm

DJ didn't hang around with that tee shot

4Ad · 31-08-2020 12:06am

Some putt from DJ...
Wow...
Think I'll get another can out.. !

Deeper Blue · 31-08-2020 12:08am

That's an insane putt from DJ

CMcsporty · 31-08-2020 12:17am

4 hole playoff?

Even the trees like DJ!

4Ad · 31-08-2020 12:18am

DJ clatters the trees and back out into the fairway...

CMcsporty · 31-08-2020 12:23am

Ah stop

4Ad · 31-08-2020 12:24am

F##K me...

CMcsporty · 31-08-2020 12:29am

Hats off to Rahm
DJ played great

CMcsporty · 31-08-2020 12:30am

Great reaction from Rahmbo.
I honestly don’t miss the fans at all.

Richard Hillman · 31-08-2020 12:35am

As much as I hate Jon Rahm, that was one of the greatest putts I have ever seen.

And DJs was also one of the greatest putts I have ever seen :pac:

Mysterypunter · 31-08-2020 12:36am

That would take beating, a great finish, Rahm shot 130 in the last two rounds

It was almost unbelievable!

Hate Rahm though? The tantrums?

Exactly. I know I am no angel on the golf course but I'm not slamming clubs around.

Get in Rahmbo.

Different gravy.

Silver-Tiger · 31-08-2020 4:47pm

I think DJ's putt was the better of the two despite being shorter.

He needed it to keep the tournament going. Took his time surveying it and like all of his putts tried to get as close to dead pace as he could. Not just make sure it got there and hope the hole got in the way. It was absolutely amazing given the circumstances.

Rahm admitted at the end he just picked a spot at the top of the hill and hoped he'd have a makeable par putt which was fair enough. Ultimate bonus going in.

They compared DJ's to Tigers on the 17th in the players back in the day. That's BS. That was a Saturday afternoon. Not taking away that it was also amazing. Thought DJ's and Rahm's were better though.

GreeBo · 03-09-2020 2:19pm

Pretty classy reaction in fairness.

His expressions were great.

callaway92 · 03-09-2020 11:20pm

I think it was Paul’s mistake there. They agreed on a club and Paul took the wrong one out of the bag (3 iron) if memory serves me right.

Caddy didn’t hand him the club.

tobsey · 03-09-2020 11:27pm

I’d have thought a pro would know the club when he’s holding it. Would they in general?

ionadnapokot · 04-09-2020 10:00am

Put it this way Harrington would know the difference!

His 3 iron is a 4 iron that has been bent straight (prob by 5 degrees)

When it goes 10 yrd farther for a pro, it's the club. The very club you bent to make it go 10 yards further!
As if he didnt know what happened straight away.

Casey is such a fake. Almost as bad as McIlroy.

Again could you imagine Harrington carrying on like that or even Tiger?
Not a chance.
It's completely on the player.

AdamD · 04-09-2020 10:17am

Pretty sure when I was younger and played tonnes I would have been pretty confident telling a club from looking at it, Casey should absolutely have known. Probably why he couldn't get that angry at the caddy

Ehh wha?

Did you watch the video?

Potential Underachiever · 04-09-2020 10:38am

I assume the whole point of the video was that the caddy handed him the wrong club? Isn't that why the caddy is looking so sheepish after the shot? Casey flushes the shot and presumably knows how far it should have went but when it one hops off the back he's a bit baffled, hence the face pulling. If that's how it went down then Casey took it very well.

I think i even watched it live.
It's funny how two people can watch the exact same thing and see two different things!

Did you see the discussion before he hit the shot?
