2021 PGA Championship- Kiawah Ocean Course

[voidfunkt]

I was talking about this with my father last night but the Champions tour may need to eventually push the age back to 55 or 60. Phil may be an exception or a beginning of a trend.

Your comments about this are pretty unseemly and also extremely weird.

I haven't accused Phil of anything, nor do I think he's doing anything wrong - I just said "it wouldn't shock me". If you have an issue with me giving voice to that thought in the first place, fair enough. But I didn't think I was likely the only one to be amazed at Phil's relative length this week.

Fitzpatrick with that Covid 15

Sorry, but the "it wouldn't shock me" type of statement is the passive-aggressive way of putting it out there and giving yourself cover ... while also allowing you later to say you were right if it turns out he was on something.

The line of demarcation between that and a straight accusal is minuscule ... if it even exists.

So you're not saying it, you're just saying it? Or is "many people are saying, but not you?"

It wouldn't shock me if every single player in every professional sport was caught taking something to improve performance. Once you reach that level of enlightenment, none of it matters.

It's still a weird post to make and a weird point to make, except I guess you're absolved because you're not really making it. You're just saying it. But not really.

Spieth and Fowler being paired up is pretty cool, although it would have been much cooler 3-4 years ago.

 

[cshea]

Abe Ancer shot a 65. Best round of the week.

 

[Zomp]

Faldo “you really need to keep it in play on 1”

bryson “HULK SMASH”

 

[cshea]

Brooks has a regular hat on today

 

[cshea]

Again, Phil could shoot an 85 or a 65 and I wouldn’t be surprised. Pulling for him tho.

 

[cshea]

CBS going deep to find their players to watch

The completely unsubstantiated steroid accusation is a really nice buzzkill when everyone is looking forward to golf this afternoon.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Uh-oh

 

[cshea]

2-shot swing?

 

[johnmd20]

This is not the start you want Phil.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Those were two phugly tee shots

 

[BaseballJones]

I have to say though, I like Phil being the hunter instead of the hunted.

 

[cshea]

Nothing against him, seems like a good dude, but Streelman winning would kinda suck.

 

[cshea]

2 more more shot swing coming again

 

[The Napkin]

reverse skate on 2

 

[E5 Yaz]

Phil and his wedges

 

[johnmd20]

Streelman's backward sunglasses thing makes me want to kick him in the ding ding.

 

[Bongorific]

This Koepka and Streelman chipping sequence looks like my buddies and me playing.

 

[johnmd20]

A 7 is a rough one on hole 2.

 

[Bongorific]

Streelman's backward sunglasses thing makes me want to kick him in the ding ding.

He’s no David Duval.

 

[Zomp]

Some start to the final round.

 

[cshea]

2 shot swing coming on every hole it seems

 

[The Napkin]

reverse reverse skate on 3

 

[The Napkin]

he missed a long one by about that much yesterday too

 

[DeadlySplitter]

AW BROOKS

 

[The Napkin]

I have that putt in my arsenal

 

[E5 Yaz]

OMG

 

[johnmd20]

Wowie. This is carnage.

 

[E5 Yaz]

To see them both in the fairway off the tee is something of an upset

 

[cshea]

This is kinda like the Players when Bryson and Westwood were all over the place early on. There’s no JT lurking though..

Good call. That short botched tee shot from Bryson was a classic

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Phil's wild ride continues

 

[cshea]

Phil!

 

[The Napkin]

that's useful

 

[johnmd20]

That was really weird.

 

[ifmanis5]

Oh it's on.

 

[Catcher Block]

He's still got it.

 

[BaseballJones]

PHIL!!!!

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Mickelson is just so much fun to watch when he’s on.

 

[cshea]

Shit always happens on Verne’s holes

 

[BaseballJones]

And now Phil buries one in the right rough off the tee. He just is incapable of having a boring, steady round, isn't he?

 

[cshea]

In fairness, 37% of players have hit the fairway on the hole and he missed by about 10 yards.

 

[johnmd20]

Pretty nifty there Brooks.

 

[cshea]

Also, it’s Phil. The guy has never played a boring round in his life

 

[johnmd20]

This is a pretty good sports day. PGA Champ, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, and any baseball game you want to watch.

It's a 4 screen day today. A year ago, it was a 0 screen day.
