OT: GOLF

[Denim Vest]

Webb Simpson is blowing my mind lapping the field with that clunky ass swing. He’s on fire with the putter.

Duf daddy in the 2nd to last group today with DJ. 10 back of the lead but nice showing for the Boog.

 

[MomentInTheSun]

OMG. 3 under through 5. Tiger in third place. LEGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[stutsman23]

Tiger and Duf both playing some good golf today. Unfortunately, Webb not dropping back at all to give anyone else a chance.

need webb to just get one double b or something just to make it more interesting

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Keegan Bradley always looks like he's playing with clubs that 6 inches too short

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Really need Webb to drop something soon. Otherwise this is gonna be a snoozer

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Tied for 2nd you guys. Let's all collectivley pray for a Webb meltdown

 

[Denim Vest]

Of course Webb has a 4 hybrid. Where’d my life go wrong that I’m not out there making millions on the tour.

 

[ShenaniganZ]

Damn boys, Tiger looks good today. Shouldn't have taken Thursday off but looks good.

 

[Denim Vest]

Webb putts from off the green more than the avg 20 cap at the local muni.

 

[Denim Vest]

If Duf could putt worth a flying fug he’d be so good. Could have made a push today.

the crazy thing is, even as good as Webb had been all week, Duf was leading the field in SG - Putting until his meltdown the last 5-6 holes

he improved a ton last year with his new breathing technique... then reworked his entire setup over the winter with the guy who works with Kisner and Charley Hoffman - who both had great years last year

through 3 months or so Duf was putting great - he had a cold April, then rediscovered it at the Zurich and was lights out over the weekend and all week this week until his late collapse

I know these things take time, and he reverted to some trrrible habits late today, but I don’t think he’s a lost cause... his irons have held him back all year, not his short game... the way he’s slowly dialing those in it won’t surprise me if he takes down another big tourney in the next 3 months

 

[Denim Vest]

Yeah guess he’d been making some just had a meltdown on the back 9 with the putter. Especially last 3 holes. Looks so uncomfortable still.

That slow motion shot of the missed par putt on 18 was rough man... Looked like the damn putter was just shaking in his hands. Sucks, because he really had a solid tournament. Should've been putting pressure on Webb there on the back 9 with how he was setting himself up with his approach shots, but instead it looked like every time he hit a good shot he absorbed all the pressure and just couldn't hit a decent putt to separate himself from the group at -14 and give Webb something to think about.

So Duf got some new irons and they’re sexy enough to play for Bruce:

I'll take a set of those. Hitting my 755's is just too easy. Need to try out some blades to keep things interesting.

My god. Grandad swing from the chief Boog

What a nerdy swing from a 6'4" college athlete.

Knockdown Wedge backswing. Does he have back or hip problems??

Woof. He could probably break 100 with that swing though. Drops it in the slot. The posture and turn is pretty disgraceful for a guy who should still be in decent shape.

T Woods tied for the lead right now at the memorial. Gang, he's winning a major this year

His ball striking is as good as I've seen from him. If/When he puts it all together, he's gonna be #1 again.

He’s left 4-5 strokes out there the last two days. Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Hope he stays within 3 or so going into tomorrow.

 

[Simple_Man]

Tiger Woods is still what makes golf great!!!

yeah. His swing looks so much more under control, fluid, and balanced this year. Nothing seems forced

 

[wcw3au1]

Gave two back and probably dug himself too big of a hole. He’s coming though. No doubt.

 

[Denim Vest]

US Open week at the goat open track Shinnecock. Just checked a Caps Cup victory off my fan bucket list maybe it’s Phil’s time. Site of his greatest US Open performance but Retief putted out of his mind and turned a final rd 80 something into a title.

 

[Van Gorstache]

@Denim Vest I am hitting the links this weekend. Probably some trash track. Haven’t played in a while, so need some inspiration. Give me one word that I can keep in mind during my round to propel me to greatness. TIA

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Forgot all about the US open. What a sports weekend. What a treat it’d be to see Tiger dominate

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

I can’t stop laughing

Hmm one word I give you Hideki. The man and the name inspires effortless power and precision.

Bonus word is sunscreen. Don’t be the hack I played with the other day that shot 100 and left with 2nd degree burns to boot.

Lol

 

[Fatz Geronimo]

haven’t settled on guys yet... so many conflicting narratives... should be a great tournament though

for anyone interested, take a look at the pool on The Main Board... $26 entry per team, total pot was over $15k for The Masters but always drops in half or so for the Opens... hopefully we can pump it up to $7-8k

 

[Denim Vest]

Carnage right out of the gate at the cock. Spieth, Rory having meltdowns a few holes in and a lot of big names not fairing much better.

 

[wcw3au1]

Playing like a monster for most of the big names out there so far. I mean killing them!

Can’t believe Spieth and Rory are bringing my man Phil down. Hadn’t missed a fairway until the last hole and still +6.

I think maybe Phil should’ve gone with the long sleeve in this wind.

Ha couldn’t have hurt. Gotta think it’s only gonna get tougher this afternoon too. 75 gonna be a decent score today. Love it just wish Phil was one of the few keeping it around even.

 

[Van Gorstache]

At this pace, the cut line may be +12. My four man scramble on Saturday is going to make these so-called pros look like skinny leg pants wearing amateurs.

Great call on the 75. I bet the majority of the guys waiting would write that down and not tee it up if they had a choice.
