  • I found the last 9 holes yesterday very entertaining.

    Tiger in the mix until 16.

    Stenson fighting to stay in it.

    DeChambeau involves till 18.

    And vintage Rory pulling it off.

    I am surprised with how well Tiger is playing. I suspect he will be a factor for the Masters and that will be a greal story if so.
    Still getting the hang of this game!

    In the Ogio Atlas for riding or Ogio Vaporlite for carrying:

    Ping G2 with HOT PINK Grafalloy Bimatrix
    Srixon W-403 AD 5 wood
    Nike 23 degree hybrid
    Ping eye2+ irons 5-PW
    Cleveland CG14 Gunmetal 52, 56
    Bronze Ping Anser 3 with Tigershark grip

      So... Tiger was "in the mix". Perhaps that's a level removed from "in contention"?
      Stenson was "B". One further level removed from in contention.
      DeChambeau was "involved", which the RoG explicitly define as the mid point between "mix" and "contention".
      You think Tiger will merely be "a factor" at The Masters? I think a factor is usually used to describe the lower quartile of those in the mix.

      Wow - you are sure harsh on Tiger!

      (A lot of heated arguments over terminology...)

      Anyways, that was a great final 9 yesterday. A whole lotta guys had a real chance.

      • Glad to see Rory with the W again sadly I missed most of the tourney, what a way to finish though.

        • Finally Rory has come back from the dead!
          Great performance yesterday .
          Birdies 5 0f the last 6.
          Putting was the best in a long time.
          If he putts like that at the Masters, he should be wearing green come Sunday.
          Dechambeau impressed me.
          He burned alot of putts Sat and Sun. He deserved a better fate.
          Happy Rory won though.

          • Brad Faxon had a big part in Rory's win ...

            Rory McIlroy tweaks mental approach to putting and reaps rewards



            This line made me smile:
            By the time McIlroy’'s final-hole birdie dropped –- just the 100th putt he required for 72 holes -– three other former major champions had reached out to Faxon.

              When it comes to golf tournaments, the person posting the lowest score "deserves" the win; I'd say the rare possible exception could be argued with a rules debacle / fan interference. Dechambeau needs a rules official to follow him carrying a giant shot clock. He played well and he's clearly very smart and thoughtful, but for the sake of everyone paired with him or behind him, he needs to think faster.

                I agree.
                He definitely needs to quit being a Human Rain Delay.
                Same as Jason Day and several others.

                  Dechambeau's delay is less wafting back and forth, visualizing, backing off four times, or discussing the wind; rather, it's more a numbers-based nerdy discussion, which, while interesting, shouldn't happen to that extent on the course.

                  The commentators made a bit of a joke of it on 18. His decision matrix included relative angles of decent given the grass behind his ball and club options.

                    Yeah, but he was wearing some green yesterday

                    • I am starting to wonder how Tiger will handle yesterday. A big part of me thinks it will galvanize his resolve, and he may be wearing a green jacket soon. What a story that would be.

                          • What is more impressive?:
                            Rory = 100 putts for the tourney or Tiger being a perfect 59/59 on the greens within 10ft (apparently).

                            • Final round on NBC earned a 3.6 overnight rating, +136% vs 2017 and the highest rating at the event since 2012. The Masters ratings should be huge.

                              CBS execs must be pissing rainbows.
