It was red stakes. Point of entry, two clubs.I assume the burn is a later hazard there on the left? Where would his drop have been?
I’ve never heard that term used like that before. Huh. I’m wondering if I’ve been misunderstanding it all these years. I’ve always thought of it as ‘the’ leader is in the clubhouse, as opposed to the lowest guy that’s finished. Interesting.Leader in the club house, now let's have an unexpected microburst show up with some crazy wind for the rest of the day.
Yes, lateral hazard. My question really is whether there is some ground in bounds on the other side of the burn to drop and have a shot at the green.It was red stakes. Point of entry, two clubs.

It just seems odd to me to use it like that. Like, did whoever teed off first pick up one stroke on he guy behind him go in and ask for a beer to celebrate being the leader in the clubhouse at a major? Whatevs.It's the lowest guy who has posted. His score is locked in.
Yes there was ground in bounds it appeared, but same conditions, so not sure why he would want to do that in this hypothetical.Yes, lateral hazard. My question really is whether there is some ground in bounds on the other side of the burn to drop and have a shot at the green.
It really isn't odd at all. Lots of stuff can happen to the guys still playing. Often good, often bad. Tommy Fleetwood at the U.S. Open is a good example of a leader in the clubhouse who almost won the tournament. Regardless, that's the way this terminology has been used forever. I doubt the guys often go and celebrate with a beer.It just seems odd to me to use it like that.

Yeah, that's a well known term that he somehow missed.I’m surprised you have never hear of leader in the clubhouse. BMHH’a definitions is what I’ve always known it to be.
There was. You can also go to the other side of the hazard equidistant from the point of entry (no closer) and drop 2 clubs too. So he could have gone over to the right side of the burn if he wanted if there was OB left.Yes, lateral hazard.

It's not a moniker.Anyway, he’s no longer holding that moniker.
Yeah, so while obviously the bounce was a good break, it wasn’t the kind of break that saves you two shots (like when a bounce prevents a tee shot from going OB). It was worth at most one shot, and probably a bit less than that on average.There was.

How is it less than that? Either way he’s in the shit and has to chunk out.Yeah, so while obviously the bounce was a good break, it wasn’t the kind of break that saves you two shots (like when a bounce prevents a tee shot from going OB).

It’s not shit on the other size of the hazard. It was closer grass. And he can take a line back to make sure.How is it less than that? Either way he’s in the shit and has to chunk out.
I didn’t see it was closer cut grass, so apologies on that, but no he can’t take a line back, it was red not yellow. Two clubs.It’s not shit on the other size of the hazard. It was closer grass. And he can take a line back to make sure.

UmmmThis has been a great round to watch.
I'm here with the game on my computer, slowly re-gripping clubs, and in an hour off to the course to play in the 75 and sunny weather. Nice little golf filled Saturday.
Right but if you choose to go the opposite side it still needs to be equidistant to the hole. I think that graphic is a bit misleading. You can’t go back as far as you want.
You’re wrong. Read the words.Right but if you choose to go the opposite side it still needs to be equidistant to the hole. I think that graphic is a bit misleading. You can’t go back as far as you want.
And now -3Hard to believe Rory is -1 out there. It feels like he is shooting a 76 out there
Yeah, 26b. Equidistant on the other side is ADDITIONAL form of relief.
Don't want to see more of that wide out-of-style necktie?Show me live golf, please.
You are right. It's pretty much never used before the final round and with someone that's only like a stroke or two ahead of the leader in the course. But I'm excited about Tiger so whatever.Yeah it’s just a brain fart on my part. I always took it to mean ‘the guy in the lead is in the clubhouse’. I’d say I’ve heard for a guy maybe a shot back on the final day. I’ve never really noticed it used for a guy 3 back with like 30 players still out there on Saturday. It just seems meaningless. But all good, sorry for the diversion.
I honestly just turned it off and am listening to the Open Radio via the app. And I love the Open - I got up at 5am Pacific time to watch this.I love Spieth, he's one of my favorites, but this coverage is ridiculous. Embarrassingly bad.
I think it's a pretty good leaderboard for himSo do we think Spieth stays on the gas tomorrow or was this his great round of the week?
His interview basically made it sound like he's hoping to just be able to play a boring conservative round. There's so many people in the mix though that I hope everyone goes all out for a low round.So do we think Spieth stays on the gas tomorrow or was this his great round of the week?
