It is a great format and it's a great course to do it on. Hate that this is the last year for it. I was fortunate enough to play Austin CC a couple of weeks ago, and TV doesn't do it justice as far as the slopes and different ways you can play each hole. A really fun course that looks easy but if you miss the right part of the slope, you are left with some tough shotsI didn’t think I’d get too involved in this tourney..I know have about 500 bets pending..futures..top 4 finishers..matchups..all sorts of shit. What a great format. They should do 2 or 3 of these a year.
Favorite plays for today;
Kuchar (-115) to beat Kirk
Scheffler to win the tourney +650
Faded Fitz weeks ago, maybe at Pebble with that injury. Somewhere out west...2nd round:
Conners (EV) over Cam Young
Kisner +155 over Homa
Min Woo Lee +110 over Fitzpatrick
I forgot to fade Fitz yesterday. He's really been scuffling, has to be injury related.
It was a bomb of a drive. One key takeaway was the commentary that followed. They said Rors plays a shorter shaft, something to the like of 44.25" or 44.5". Standard driver length anymore is 45.5", some at 45.75". Shorter length in the driver and 3-wood should result in more control, something I tinkered around with a couple of times. Currently reshafting both my driver and 3-wood and will likely be playing 45" and 43" respectively. I'm 5' 8" and not long to begin with but I'll take fairways vs. distance all day long.The Rory drive on 18 yesterday, 1 up at the time, was absolutely ridiculous.
I was watching hoops so only saw on play by play and thought it was a mistake.
Incredible.
Still my only bet is him to win this group. Now, he goes up against a resurgent Keegan (as far as match play goes). Bradley halving on Wednesday was amazing and he just rolled yesterday.
I'm sure this will be tight as can be.
I'm all about fairways as well. I hit 3 wood a lot just for that reason. I also am behind the times with my driver so I will sort that out this summer most likely.It was a bomb of a drive.

When age and better scores catch up to amateurs, laying up from 230+ generally leads to better scoresI'm all about fairways as well. I hit 3 wood a lot just for that reason. I also am behind the times with my driver so I will sort that out this summer most likely.
lol- 230 lay-up is a good drive for me, playing at 5300ft. No shame in my game though, shooting mid to high 80's consistently. It's all about keeping it in play and the short game.When age and better scores catch up to amateurs, laying up from 230+ generally leads to better scores
I don't want to think I'm old though and still remember that one 5wood from 250 that ended up 3 feet from the pin. Probably will remember it the next time too
Going from Midwest life through college, it was hard to actually put the ball out of play...scrambling was fun and creative through trees or even going over the top.lol- 230 lay-up is a good drive for me, playing at 5300ft.

Complete downfall of this format is injuries that can screw up an entire bracketI see Matsuyama conceding, giving Homa the guarantee, and eliminating Suh's chances, that has to make you a bit mad.

Does he WD from this if it's Rd 3 of a 72 hole tournament and he's in the top 10?Complete downfall of this format is injuries that can screw up an entire bracket
You know the answer, he never starts obviouslyDoes he WD from this if it's Rd 3 of a 72 hole tournament and he's in the top 10?
"Reoccurring" neck injury.
Kuch vs Day in Round of 16J Day 3-0 and his impressive 2023 continues...
Complete shitGolf Channel not exactly showing all the golf right now.
ExplainMy boy Montgomery just took a page out of my playbook. Smh.
Hit his tee shot 167 yards shorter than Hughes.Explain
I've played par 4s that have absolutely made me wish I hit 7 iron and wedge intoHit his tee shot 167 yards shorter than Hughes.
This was the playoff hole?Maybe hit his tee shot 170 yards
Yes.This was the playoff hole?
Lots in common with Rors and Figgy, not sure why I pull for one and not the otherAnd here we go...
Rory huge advantage off tee on 12 and just hooks one into the water.
C'mon man.
Holy shlit, Keegan 3 jacks and Rory ties the hole.Lots in common with Rors and Figgy, not sure why I pull for one and not the other
Not sure how you can bet this pre tournamentWell, one 3 jack deserves another.
Rory pulls a Keegan and goes eagle to par in 3 putts.
2 up.
Keegan's first winning hole.
Yeah, that's why I didn't bet anybody to win ahead.Not sure how you can bet this pre tournament
I seriously have no clue who wins but now have to look at the 16 bracket and figure out who's hot and who's so hot they flame out in a match
Spaun is early candidate to flame out fast
Well, he's got 4 feet for bird this time.Fuckin brutal Rors
Bank got me watching lezball for a minute fmlWell, he's got 4 feet for bird this time.
See what Keegan does on this chip.
