They really are pounding us with commercials. It's relentless. I guess there are only two guys on the course, but still, do the live look in thing at least. This is a major!

I was OK with the cutaway for the Brady commercial, but these others aren't doing it for me.

What's the sense of having the calf-high rough if people are only going to trample it down? And Kuch finds the non-trampled.
It's just one of the things about tour golf. Sometimes it is better to miss by 20 yards than 5 yards. Nothing they can do about it unless you don't want spectators.

Funny, a few hours ago I was hoping some of those guys at -4 would make a move since no one was playing like they wanted it. Someone making it interesting by getting to -7 seems foolish now. Crazy good last hour.

If anyone has tape of Miller saying going back to the tee wasn't the play on 13, I'd love to hear it. That type of unaccountability is the type of stuff everyone hates, but they let him get away with it. Just say its not how I would have done it, but it worked out or something. But going mute after you said go back to the tee 10 times is inexcusable. Can't wait till he retires.

Congrats to Jordan, kid can play.

Yeah, he just runs off at the mouth. There's no way even he would've done that after he found the ball. It just doesn't make any sense. Even a wedge back to the fairway after an unplayable would be the equivalent or better than hitting a dead solid perfect re-drive from the tee.

Super classy by Spieth. Recognizing Kuchar's patience was absolutely the thing to do. Good for him.

I just switched over to the Golf Channel. The first thing I heard was, "Spieth turning around after his drive on 13 to birdie or eagle the next four holes is Tom Brady down 28-3 in the Super Bowl."

The turn around was incredible (the bogey to the near-ace in particular), but this comparison makes it seem like Spieth was well out of it for the entire tournament before turning on the jets late. He was down one with 5 holes to play. Hardly as seemingly insurmountable as 28-3.

Yea I'm watching. Sounds like he was aiming front left and left it right a bit. Makes Millers statement even more ridiculous. You get a perfect lie. You want to play a par 3 or par 4?

Yeah but I was really rooting for him to win a major. Class act who deserves it as part of his career. Also does really seem to enjoy playing the game.
Kuchar really is a class act and he ended up losing today b/c Spieth went on a run for the ages after the wheels fell off. Hopefully Kuchar wins a major, he's easy to root for.
