That would be me in range. Maybe no later than my 5th shot aka approach on the first. No gracias.

 

[pressitup]

Tiger got the old man cold

 

[laopadak]

Looks like late wave doing better than early wave. Still stalking live.

 

[KJ]

On bird to Denver. Hopefully I can get live coverage, make a quick flight if so. Doubt the books will be available but they should be

The Lettuce man, Romain.

Ya you like American golf.

This is actual golf.

What a beautiful scene today. You really can't beat this to be honest.

When I close my eyes and think of golf, I think of St. Andrew's and the North Sea.

 

[CPA-hole]

Watching intermittently on Peacock at work. I have it on the 8th hoke. The amount of balls ending up in the right bunker is amazing to me.

The Lettuce man, Romain.

Reminds me of the great Romain Sato of Xavier, from Bimbo, Central Africa during the early 2000s cinderella run.

 

[CPA-hole]

If I never see Paris or the Pyramids, I can live with that. But if I never get to play a round in Scotland with the North Sea in view, my life would've been incomplete.

 

[B.A.R.]

Had him on my short list...
Didn't play...

Grabbing now

Lowry +1600

 

[B.A.R.]

Small DJ +10000

 

[KJ]

The way X hits some of his iron shots is basically like playing Golden Tee

 

[KJ]

Sucks Jordana got out of that mess of a hole with par

 

[laopadak]

Finding theopen.com very useful, ahead of TV coverage and has shot tracker for each player. Good for live bets.

Clark shit the bed so hoping Fitz beats Spieth. Crossing fingers to get out of Rd.1 just down a few units. Not seeing it well currently

 

[B.A.R.]

Of course my guys are playing great on the back (my overs).

 

[B.A.R.]

Sucks Jordana got out of that mess of a hole with par

That's what is going to lose my bet.

Irritated, such a great # and he's going to finish at E or -1

 

[B.A.R.]

Can't believe I'm sweating the Thompson bet now too.

 

[B.A.R.]

Can't believe I'm sweating the Thompson bet now too.

Just need to survive a hole out on his approach on 18.

 

[B.A.R.]

Other than 11 and 12, the back is playing easier than expected (looking at the real time rankings)

 

[Inspekdah]

Saudi Smith man. Liv broke him.

 

[Inspekdah]

Spieth dodged a few doubles man and now is under par. Fuck

 

[B.A.R.]

Spieth dodged a few doubles man and now is under par. Fuck

How did he eagle that hole??

He had 302 left after his drive? Did he pitch in or some crazy putt?

 

[Gandolf]

Who would've thought John Daly getting two a side from Rory and Tiger would've been a competitive match?

 

[Inspekdah]

SS comes through big on 18 to win the 3 ball vs. Spieth and Young. Phew. Had that -125 10->8

Was listening on Sirius and his and SS's seemed to just get nice rolls to 15 and 10 feet each.

Rd.1 recap- Might be a duh comment but it sounds like the flip of wind direction on the front 9 is what threw off the early groups, only a handful (it seems) of guys were able to manage the change. They've been practicing in a tail wind for the past couple of days. Guys in the late wave got the better draw, calmer winds and took advantage.

Early wave bets definitely threw off my morning and mind set. Gonna start digging into early wave Rd.2 plays. Don't suppose we have any meteorologists on board that can tell us if the early guys will have a tail wind on the front 9 or not? Do we?

Rd.1: 2-3, -1.4u. Futures look dim but still alive to some degree. Let's eat boys.

Finau under 71.5 -105 4u(FD)
ADD- Aberg under 70.5 -105 2.5u(DK)
ADD- Fleetwood under 70.5 +105 2.5u(DK)
Late wave rd.1 add: Clark v Koepka-114 4u(Betrivers)
rd.1 live add: Fitz v. Spieth -105 4u(FD)

Thx @peelpub94, might just need to stay up late to catch it live on TV, should help in determining plays. Unfortunately, I don't recall the last time I stayed up past midnight lol.

 

[B.A.R.]

Capping winds and weather will be crucial.

Good points earlier by Lao.

I wasn't expecting afternoon to play easier. I figured the same or slightly less.

[B.A.R.]

I said earlier anyone +3 and better is fine.

I honestly still think that.

Lowry and Brown won't gain as much putting tomorrow, imo. Same with JT.

That being said, pretty strong trend there.

I'll be very happy with Shane can shoot 72 or better.

I need something in 60s from Collin. Hopefully a 68-69 from Tony to me in the thick of things.

[Inspekdah]

Okay this has grown on me a little

 

[B.A.R.]

All in seeing weather wise is a bit windier in afternoon (15-20 vs 7-15 on average)

 

[B.A.R.]

Tighter #s

I think early guys will score a bit better.

One play for myself.

Koepka u72.5 -135

 

[laopadak]

Rd.2 Open: Hughes -129 v. Grillo 3u(Betrivers)

 

[laopadak]

Rd.2 live X under 72.5 -120 3.85u(DK) +1 thru 3

 

[B.A.R.]

Rd.2 live X under 72.5 -120 3.85u(DK) +1 thru 3

Nice

 

[CPA-hole]

Lowry giving some back here on 11. Was in control. Missed a short gimme birdie on 10. Camera guy clicked too soon on 11 and he wasn't happy about it

 

[CPA-hole]

Anyone gonna make a run this afternoon with this wind?

Good Lord. Lowry is still trying to figure this mess out. Hit a provisional but was able to find his original ball in the gorse.

 

[CPA-hole]

Literally 20 mins between shots

 

[B.A.R.]

This really sucks

 

[B.A.R.]

Was hoping he could post -8 and be firmly in control.

Of course not.

 

[CPA-hole]

Of course not.

Nope. He bugaboo is missing short putts, no? Reared it's ugly head on 10.

 

[B.A.R.]

Need Tony to post 70 or lower in afternoon. That would be incredible.

 

[B.A.R.]

Played JT o73.5 +100

Seeing the teeth this morning with more wind coming i have too

 

[B.A.R.]

Alright Blake, this is a must birdie hole here
