Golf - classic or dud

Yah they talked about it quite a bit on the broadcast here

Bethpage Black a monstrous golf course. Spieth going for the career grand slam but, like Mickelson, I doubt he can drive it straight enough to win round this course. Guess Koepka is the favourite going in. The Nike cap he's wearing right now is so ugly tho.

Brooks playing with Tiger and Molinari first two rounds. Tiger doubled the first . Conditions look perfect but this course is just brutal and that's with an easier PGA set up compared to how they set it up for the US Open

Had no idea Spieth is now #39 in world rankings!!

brooks strolls round in 63 like it ain't no big deal. frightening.
tiger 2 over.
nice to see tommy fleetwood at -3.
conditions look perfect.

holy cow @ Brooks, that is an insane round on this course

kinda sucks that all eyes will be on Tiger

jeez brooks. just tuning in.

Hugely impressive front nine from Jordan. Think he hit every green. Didn't think he had it in him.

I must have ducked out somewhere--I thought the PGA was always the last major on the calendar.

i'm predicting Kevin Nealon takes over the Dorf on Golf franchise

XP
They've rejigged the schedule so that the US tour ending FedEx playoffs finish in August before the start of the NFL season and so that the PGA doesn't clash with Olympic golf every four years so from now on it's
April - masters
May - PGA
June - US Open
July - Open

Lol Rory starts his day double, bogey, double, birdie, par, bogey +5 for the day thru six holes and +7 for the tourney.

DJ 4 birdies in 6 holes , -4 in second place behind Brooks who plays in the afternoon wave.
Danny Lee was in second but has dropped five shots thru 11 holes.

I really want to like Patrick Cantlay cos his back story is so compelling but man is he irritating to watch, so slow.

Another birdie for DJ. Brooks and DJ duel would be fun, the loser being the one who makes an expression first.

Lol no majors between August and March is fucked up man

Beemer! birdies 5 of the last 6 to probably make the cut. amazing around that course.

another good round from spieth. maybe he's back?

he was never gone!

maybe a little gone

DJ is my big irrational dislike so it has distressed me to learn he's doing well

DJ played in the saudi event this year so that's a reason.

brooks starts birdie, birdie and strolls about with the air of a man who is bulletproof.

kinda glad tiger isnt going to make the cut so we wont have to watch him play mid golf all weekend whilst the actual contenders get no camera time

damn fleetwood 3 boges on the back 9 i was pulling for him to put heat on brooks

this is domination

lowest 36 hole score in majors history

maybe i started that 'how many majors will spieth win' thread for....the wrong person

mind u, spieth is *second* in this. but also nowhere

he went deep into the funk and never really recovered

he's tied second in this tournament!!

i just mean generally. he's looking pretty good this weekend for sure! he just seemed so primed to make a run at quite a few majors a few years back. hard to sustain dominance

Yeah Spieth better watch it or he'll end up like Rory.

i always forget how irritating i find DJ's beard

Koepka choking!!??

4 bogeys on a row!

Lol, still leading by two with not many holes left

DJ screwed the pooch

DJ coulda won this if he just parted out 16-18.

Even as it stands with Brooks errant drive a double bogey is in play for the tie

Parred*

Really limped into this win

Catching up with the first round of the US Women's Open. Course seems p quirky especially the Greens, some ridiculously severe false fronts.

Also completely mind blown by the fact that the player in 2nd place after round one Esther Henseleit last official handicap before she turned pro was +7.1 !!!!! Imagine having to add 7 shots to your score after every round as an amateur!

Also lol at the rumoured USGAing of pebble Beach for the upcoming mens US Open. Apparently they have narrowed the fairways so much that on one of the holes a fairway bunker is now located 35 yards into the rough!

US Open at Pebble Beach is underway. Should be some good scoring in this one.

course is playing p soft today, greens holding, think it'll dry out by the weekend and be really tough.
mcginley with the great stat that rory has never won a tournament with a winning score of worse than -12. which suggests he can't win on really tough tracks. rahm and rickie going well greens look v smooth for pebble

Rickie leading. I wouldn't begrudge either he or tangent if he got a major but his hair really bothers me. I know it some charity mullet thing to do with his foundation but yeesh.

tiger straight up snap hooked that 8 iron. hit a cart path and ended up w double bogey.

This could get spicy

Woodland creature in the rough

The woodland choke may be on

Nice shot from the rough. Koepka slippin too

can't believe Rose is still in the mix

Weird week for rose but all he has to do is string together a couple holes and he could take this

Or not
