I have never actually seen Bryson and his new swing this year. Cyborg.
Wolff has more hitches in his swing than I don't know what! Even his little pre-swing address has a hitch.

hard to play a more impressive rd than bryson just did tbqh
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 20 September 2020 22:04 (three years ago) link
Loved watching Wolff hope he can sustain a long and competent career cos I love weird swings. That pre swing move is hilarious and I kinda want to try It to kick my motion and tempo in gear.

45 years, almost made my first-ever eagle today. Short par 4 (305 yards), hit a decent drive, pushed it a little right. Hit a 9 into the green and caught it perfect; I could see it rolling on and right towards the pin, but couldn't tell how close. Six inches--weirdly, though, above the hole, like it somehow curled around.

^^^someone's been reading bryson's aiming charts
― imago, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 21:16 (three years ago) link
True...305 yards--what's that, a 5-iron for him?

So happy to watch Sei Young Kim win her first major today, the Women's PGA. Was probably the best currently active player without one. Put on an absolute clinic today with a 63 in the final group holding off a charging Inbee Park ( a legend herself). Love her aggressive flag hunting game.

Westwood 4 under thru 8 and leading! lol just birdied the 9th as well. get em LJ!!tiger about to go 3 under. course really soft, scores v low. prefer it when the greens are fast but with no fans some.of the camera angles and shots are new to me and great.

Very shocking to update the golf leaderboard and see those scores. Imagine if he has a consistent tournament!

― tangenttangent, Thursday, 12 November 2020 17:59 (three years ago) link
Everyone did a nice job today. A v low-scoring round. I've got to wonder how the silence could be positively impacting the psychological game. Casey sounding sort of rapturous when he was describing the atmosphere to one interviewer. Rickie on -3.
― tangenttangent, Thursday, 12 November 2020 22:42 (three years ago) link
yah. excellent day's play. rickie has been terrible all year so nice to see him turn it around. if anywhere could revitalise a player I thought it would be Augusta and spieth but not so far, jordy now #80 in the world!matthew wolff played a couple of exquisite chip shots and his major record so far is played 2 finished 4th and 2nd.as always rooting for hideki who has really upped his fashion game in 2020 with his shoes/shirt combos.
― oscar bravo, Thursday, 12 November 2020 23:09 (three years ago) link
hoping hideki does it this time. or finau. couple guys who havent broken through yet.

langer 4 under thru 13 holes! love when the old boys show up the youngsters round this course Rory almost broke shot tracer such was the severity of his duck hook off 13 sungjae im owner of the slowest takeaway since inbee park currently at 5 under

bryson finishes bogey-bogey to possibly miss the cut.rahm joins the logjam at -9.

Near flawless golf from DJ today. Shot making, decision making, putting. Everything totally on point.Cam Smith with back to back insane up and downs on 16 and 17, the one on 17 wasn' t even from the correct fairway.

― call all destroyer, Sunday, 15 November 2020 17:56 (three years ago) link
Im's languorous approach with a 6-iron is mad! Such a fragmented swing. Very exciting though - really hope he can make it happen!
― tangenttangent, Sunday, 15 November 2020 18:40 (three years ago) link
tiger followed his ten by birdieing 5 of his last 6 holes because of course he did. never really rooted for him but by god he tries on every single shot whatever his score is.
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 15 November 2020 18:48 (three years ago) link
Yes, that was an impressive turnaround. This was also the most psychologically solid I’ve seen McIlroy in ages - normally seems like he is seething internally.
Insane showing from Cameron Smith - all four rounds under par! DJ is a machine. Very happy for young Im.

cam smith made birdies and pars from some insane places, love to see it.Im's chip at 15 was incredible.happy for DJ he was great this week and for the last 3 months tbh.

Did I read that no one has ever posted four rounds in the 60s before at Augusta?
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 15 November 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
Yeah that's right Michael.
Insane to think that when tiger posted -18 in '97 the next best score was -6!
Love sungjae Im. Remember his first year on tour when joel dahmen's caddie tweeted after they played with sungjae that in his 14 years caddieing on the tour Im was the best rookie he had ever seen bar none.
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 15 November 2020 22:26 (three years ago) link
And Tiger went out in 40 on the Thursday in '97... -22 for the last 63 holes! I remember thinking Montgomerie was going to reel him in after round 2. Hilariously wrong. Strange that Tom Kite was runner-up. Another era. That would be like Federer overlapping with Connors or something.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 15 November 2020 22:41 (three years ago) link
ha ha yes. was watching '97 masters the other day and was taken aback to see that it was faldo putting the jacket on tiger and then remembering that faldo's comeback vs Norman was only the previous year so it wasn't as if tiger came on the scene when faldo was years and years past his prime, he came on the scene when faldo was still good enough to win majors! but as you say it seems like another era altogether.

SPIETH!!
― oscar bravo, Saturday, 6 March 2021 18:29 (three years ago) link
I was four weeks early but SPIETH!!!!!!!! for real this time.
Really hope Patty Tavatanakit holds on to win the major tonight as she played a wonderful round 3 of p breathtaking golf. Averaging 316 off the tee, and straight, p amazing. Shout out to Shanshan Feng in contention after not playing a tournament for 16 months and actually during that span not touching a club at all for over a year. Also loved her answer when asked about what she did do during quarantine in China - "Well got up in the morning and thought about what I was going to have for breakfast, and after breakfast what I was going to have for lunch, and after lunch thought about what I was going to have for dinner. That was it really."

If you're someone who consciously marks the passage of time, this won't be surprising. I must have shut that off when it comes to golf, though, because the inclusion of Sergio Garcia in the "old guys" category here (#7) is very disorienting.

I still remember that major (PGA?) where he was 20 or something and almost overtook Tiger with that amazing shot from the woods.
