Golf - classic or dud

Good bounce-back by Dunne.

The three amateurs up near the top are going to combine for a lot of money regardless. They ought to pass that on to some charity--do all the professionals really need to pocket an extra $50,000 or whatever?

xp work from home golfstream hi-5

haha - hi-5 returned. i worked my ass off this morning to allow myself to do a particularly easy piece of work for the afternoon. my dad is texting me constantly, he has harrington at 110-1, oosthuizen at 50-1, and dunne at 7/1 to be leading amateur. #gamblor

99 times out of a 100, your dad would have that last one locked up by now. But not today.

Just going to complain again about how horribly busy my shift was today, when it should have been nice and quiet.

double bogey padraig on the 6th :-(

How's the weather?

some rain and wind but seems manageable

zach johnson has the bit between his teeth here

double bogey spieth

The greens aren't looking their best after the rain

Two birdies from spieth to recover.

aussie takeover at the mo.

not cool w/marc leishman winning this tbh

What's up with him?

nothing in partic, i just have no thoughts about him where there are a lot of cool stories if other guys win

wow huge putt from z johnson to be low in the clubhouse

Scott is done for the year.

Leishman hanging on..

Oops

Had to duck out for a dentist appointment...Double-bogey (four strokes from 100 feet?) and then two birdies--wow. The announcers seem to be indicating there just aren't enough scoring opportunities left for Spieth.

Zach Johnson in pole position tbh

wow insane shot out of the bunker by leishman, ugh

yeah the front 9 is where most of the birdies are

Looking like a play-off right now.

Yes--two to four guys.

oh shit spieth

i just have no thoughts about him where there are a lot of cool stories if other guys win

I felt the same way, but it sounds like he has a good story too--what is the story with his wife they keep referring to?

Way to go Spieth!

She almost died apparently.

It's a pretty good story tbh.

Amazing what Spieth is up to.

Not bad, but what a putt to have to stand over.

Baseball analysts would have had a field day with the announcer there: "Statistically, this distance is not Spieth's strength, but he's such a clutch player, you can throw the stats out the window." And so he misses.

Weird--if Spieth sticks his like Day did, and if Day spins his like Spieth did, they're both close.

spieth gave that a good go

couple of painful shots for spieth in those last few holes

Great try--I think Trevino passed Nicklaus much earlier in the round in '72. Contrary to the announcers, I think the pressure did get to him a little bit near the end, on the one putt and on the approach into 18. I'll root for Leishman now, but my interest has dwindled significantly.

Should have put money on Oosthuizen today.

Most folks I know had money on Oosthuizen. Not sure why - they may well have had money on lots of people.

wouldn't have wagered Zach would even be the highest-finishing Johnson tbqh

Doh, Johnson, 2nd shot @ 17

not the winner i wanted to see but zach is a good guy. actually worked at the last open in st andrews in another, now distant life, interviewed zach johnson and he was v generous with his time for a crappy kids' tv show.

that's cool to know. i'm catching the end of the playoff now and his interview seems sincere and heartfelt. i totally forgot about him as a competitive golfer between his masters win and now but he beat the best in the game today.

gutted for louis but okay with zach winning. i like his old man game, punching most of his shots in, low wedges with hella spin, not much length off the tee.

Some really good golf the last few weekends. Lowry was so fun to watch yesterday with Bubba on his heels. Both guys took turns hitting crazy shots with trees in the way but Lowry hit two of the luckiest amazing shots I've seen to basically win.

bubba was hitting like 380+ yard drives too.

huge buzz about him on all the irish sports shows and in the papers etc. i've heard a few kinda dumb "so what makes the irish people love shane lowry so much?" questions and it's like hmmm a large joker who loves his pints and openly says this - what is the secret of shane's appeal in ireland?
