Agreed.
Curious on the rough...
Obviously win can be a helping factor at this spot...
If I remember right conditions were calm back in 2012 (albeit that was August).

Wow I wish I could take back my Ancer bet.
Guys I’m already on:
Rory 20-1 (booked before WF)
Niemann 66-1
Ancer 80-1
Woodland 100-1 (booked during WF)

That Woodland play is super sharp. Love it.

Everyone remembers the 2012 PGA Championship for Rory McIlroy's dominant win, but a lot of other stuff happened at the Ocean Course that week.

I retract this. He is not bettable

Some pretty long walks between holes on the course too.

I think there is some scoring to be had this week with the wind down. Nothing like last week of course. But maybe something like WF a few weeks ago.

Can we talk about Brooks?

Injured, not in form and understandably not playing his best.
I wish him well and a premier golfer. But, I think $$ on him are not well spent.
That being said, as I watch him this week I will not rule out using him in a match-up

A "personality" and that's why we hear about him. He is an average professional imo
Foooorrrreeee!!!

Thing is golf needs it. Going to turn into a bunch of stiffs that like each other plus Bryson and Fattrick, that's not driving new viewers

I like it so far. I don't know why but I am "iffy" on Burns this week (and I think Burns is the next "elite" golfer)

I am one that does not like to bet against Bryson and he can win any tournament. But, it seems as if he manages to make a double, or worse, enough that it is hard to know when the next one is coming and you know it is coming.

I'll second this and take it a step further
He's such an introvert that when something doesn't go exactly as planned, it seems like he internalizes and eventually blows up. The give/take with someone like him who strives to be a perfectionist can backfire really fast
I was iffy on the White Sox tonight, Bones, so hopefully Burns works out just as well.
As for Westwood, I just don't have a good read on him right now. I guess I still haven't gotten over him not coming through at the Players. But this is also Pete Dye, and under 67th would be the only choice for me if I were to play that.
67th also happens to be his rank for SG: Total. Woulda thought he was better than that. He definitely has been since the Tour moved east

My man, Michael Jordan!
I just like to have action going into the weekend. Speith fizzled out for me last week and I got Burns live at 10-1 when he was surging and he also shit the bed.
Thoughts on?
JT +1400
Speith +1400
Hovland +1800
Mori +2800?
Does Colin have the distance to compete here?

Give me the NHL, or give me death
love his control and accuracy off the tee which should set him up nicely here

agreed, would help if he got some white rock in him throughout the tourney.

'It's not going to speed up play:' Players, caddies react to PGA of America's move to allow rangefinders at PGA Championship
Players and caddies didn’t hold back when asked their opinions on the use of rangefinders this week.

Not sure why the PGA needs to make things any easier for these guys, agree with teapot, they need to slow the tech down, not enhance itPlay will be slower than ever now

Haven't read the letter of the law but if the only intent was to speed up play I'm not sure what they were even thinking unless they likewise changed the penalty for slow play to be more severe along with it

Listened to player interviews I could catch in the truck while doing errands.
1. Every player who commented said the greens were perfect for putting
2. Koepka - said his knee a lot better, but said he can wake up some days and it hurts more than others. does 1.5 hours a day rehab while @ the tourney and then 1 hour of "physio on the table." He said he still does his regular golf work too while @ tourney. So, +2.5 extra work each day
3. Jordan - did not hear interview, but evidently he has said that Webb Simpson is his favorite guy to play with and he is paired with him first 2 days
4. Finau - I bet against him doing well this week. Thus, I really did not like his interview. He sounded extremely confident. Played the course from the back on each hole and said course will be extremely tough, but PGA has said they will not play each hole all the way back
5. J.T. - he particularly commented on the greens - perfect. He was also asked about the Olympics and he gave all the answers you'd want an Olympian to give
6. Patrick Reed - did not hear interview, but he hit wedges into holes 12 & 13 in practice
