His back nine was unbelievably impressive.That was a fairly drama free 67 for Justin Rose there.
He's going to be tough to beat tomorrow.That was a fairly drama free 67 for Justin Rose there.
Heh hehHe's going to be tough to beat tomorrow.
Tied for 4th place with Spieth at -4. Rose,(-6) Sergio,(-6) and Fowler(-5) ahead. That's a leaderboard.Hoffman doubles 16
Agreed, but it's going to make his inevitable collapse tomorrow that much sadder. And his collapse is certainly inevitable.Garcia possibly being in the lead tomorrow on Seve's birthday is almost too perfect.
Watch out for CharlTied for 4th place with Spieth at -4. Rose,(-6) Sergio,(-6) and Fowler(-5) ahead. That's a leaderboard.
The top 16 right now is really a who's who of guys I would want to see fighting it out for a major. It's incredible.Watch out for Charl
Spieth is the reverse of Bubba.I love the way Spieth talks in interviews when it comes to him and his caddy. It's never an individual thing. Every comment is "we" this and "we" that.
I like that as well. But mid-round, Spieth overruled him within mic shot on a handful of occasions. From the rough on 7 when he played that miracle punch shot that somehow ended up above the bunker, on his third shot on 15 they disagreed on the wind and he spun it back to a foot, and on 16 he seems to talk himself into a hard 7 (?) and ended up well short.I love the way Spieth talks in interviews when it comes to him and his caddy.

The conditions are too good, and the final pairings too good for anybody 4 strokes back to win this thing. They'd need to shoot a 63 or something. Winner will almost certainly be in the last three groups.Watch out for Charl

I'm ready for either Sergio or Westwood to finally win one.Look at the names within 6 shots of the lead. It's a who's who of a leaderboard.
Justin Rose
Sergio Garcia
Rickie Fowler
Jordan Spieth
Adam Scott
Lee Westwood
Charl Schwartzel
Ryan Moore
Charlie Hoffman
Paul Casey
Matt Kuchar
Soren Kjeldsen
Rory McIlroy
Jon Rahm
William McGirt
I'd like that as wellI'm ready for either Sergio or Westwood to finally win one.
That's pretty much where I am as well, although my first choice would probably be Rickie.I used to hate Sergio, but I've come around on him in recent years. I'm fine him, and really everyone on the leaderboard winning. I'm not rooting for anyone in particular. Just looking for an awesome day of golf.
I've taken a liking to Spieth but I'd love to see Fowler win. The sexy storyline is Sergio winning his 1st major on Seve's birthday.I used to hate Sergio, but I've come around on him in recent years.

I tend to think he is the most manufactured guy out there. Spieth has replaced Tiger on the guy I most like to root against list.I love the way Spieth talks in interviews when it comes to him and his caddy. It's never an individual thing. Every comment is "we" this and "we" that.
These two thoughts, yes.I tend to think he is the most manufactured guy out there. Spieth has replaced Tiger on the guy I most like to root against list.
I'd love to see Sergio get it.
You know, I could never quite put my finger on why I couldn't stand Spieth (besides the fact I think his swing sucks and he's really boring to watch). "Manufactured" really hits the nail on the head. All this "we" talk about his caddie and "team" is annoying and ridiculous. I'd like to see him take some responsibility for both his successes and failures, his caddie plays such a small role. It also seems forced and scripted, he's annoying.I tend to think he is the most manufactured guy out there. Spieth has replaced Tiger on the guy I most like to root against list.
This is pretty much where I'm at. The leaderboard is so good that I don't care who wins I just want it to be entertaining. Give me the 2011 back nine drama and lead changes, except without Schwartzel winning again.As for today, I'm just looking for a shootout coming down the stretch. No real rooting interest in the winner. Just in the contest. (If pushed, I'd root for Fowler.)
Can't find a vid either. It's not on his leaderboard scorecard (which has select vids from his round). Net says he blew second shot right of the trap into gallery and hit chip "heavy" into the lake. So 3 in, 4 out, 5 on, 2 putts. The heavy part makes no sense because he wasn't going over lake with the 3rd. So I'm guessing he hit it thin or skulled it.Did CBS show Fred's 7 on 15 yesterday? I was following on the app, saw he made a dog's breakfast out of it. Looks like he chipped it in the drink off the front of the green. Mr. Google hasn't been able to produce a video highlight.
It's not like Rickie was writing the articles. I find it difficult to blame him for being anointed. That was out of his control. Fowler is great with the game of golf and the world, he's incredible with children and he's an accessible guy. Rooting against him is like rooting against Frodo.So pumped for today. It's been said many times up thread, but this is what a leader board should look like heading into Sunday at a major. Fantastic.
I'd like almost anyone at the top of this leader board to win this thing, but I'm rooting for Sergio. I've changed course on how I feel about him, I'd like to see him win one now. I thought he was a dink when he was younger, but he is too good a of a talent not to take down a major.
I know this won't be a popular opinion here, but I'm rooting against Rickie. I appreciate that he is apparently a great guy who does things the "right way", unlike someone like Bubba. I probably am too hard on the guy but I don't like the way that he was anointed by the media before he ever won anything. I get why, he is was a young, marketable guy on the rise. But it annoyed me at the time. I'll likely get over this eventually, similar to how I'm in the pro-Sergio camp now.
This is a "get off my lawn" comment, but I also can't forgive him for wearing a hat with zero bend in the brim on the PGA tour. It made him look like a buffoon.
Have you guys talking about the "we" stuff ever played with a caddie before? They ALL do that. Every shot is "we're on the green, we're in the bunker, we just need to get up and down", etc. I think if you listen for it, you'll hear a lot of guys talk that way.You know, I could never quite put my finger on why I couldn't stand Spieth (besides the fact I think his swing sucks and he's really boring to watch). "Manufactured" really hits the nail on the head. All this "we" talk about his caddie and "team" is annoying and ridiculous.

Now you are just rubbing it in.Either way, should be great golf to watch (on DVR after my own 18!)
