That's nothing. Some world leaders have had like 8 in a row. Just ask them.
But wow- I hadn't realized how strong the wind was.

I played Hudson National right when it opened with that guy. He was a young pro at Winged Foot. Super nice guy.
Pretty good finish in Detroit. Cam Davis and Akshay are tied at -18. Akshay just smoked a tee ball into a tree on 13 for a 97 yard drive but scrambled for a par. Cam Young is a shot back but may have just broken his driver after a bad hook on 14. And Davis’ second shot on 14 rolls back and onto the rocks
Cam Young just missed a short par putt to fall 2 behind.
Min Woo Lee tied Bhatia at -18, but he's in trouble on 18

Richard Bland, who earlier won the Senior PGA, wins the U.S. Senior Open on the fourth playoff hole (two aggregate, two sudden death) at Newport CC in a Monday finish when his bunker shot hits the pin and stops an inch or so from the cup
Finishes birdie, par, eagle, birdie to do it. And the eagle was holing out from the rough.
Yep. I gave up trying to figure him out long ago. He could shoot 30 on the back or a 42.
This was pretty wild yesterday, Ludvig's approach on 9 literally landed on top of Morikawa's ball. Morikawa got to move his back, Ludvig was SOL (made bogey).

Sorry Luddy, bad luck there. Play your ball as it lies. You, sir, 20 yards deep into the woods behind 5 trees, I see a shotlink wire 120 yards in front. Please move your ball to the nearest convient, clean spot.

I've watched that a bunch of times and cannot figure out which ball was which after they hit.
Pretty sure Ludvig's went the shorter distance left from our POV and Morikawa's looked like it was shot out of a cannon.
Didn't really phase Ludvig as he's got the lead at -12.
JT with the old 62-72 to start his tournament. I think he's been better than the results indicate, thought yesterday's 62 might be a spring board. Nope.
Rory seems pretty unphased by the debacle at Pinehurst. He's -7 for the tournament, just starting his 2nd round and has about 30 feet for eagle on 5.
Also, if we're playing a tournament in Scotland we're going to need them to turn the fan on.

Bob MacIntyre eagles 16 to tie for the lead then drains a 22 footer for birdie to win the Scottish Open.
5 man playoff at the alternate event. Rico Hoey, Harry Hall, Zac Blair, Matthew NeSmith, Piercson Coody.
Hall chipped in on the 3rd playoff hole for the win. Seems like a good story, I don't know much about him. He said his wife is due with their first child this week. He thought he was going to have to play every week for the rest of the season because of his FedEx Cup position (134th entering the week). The win locked up his card and he now he has the security to take time off and be with his family.
Back to the Scottish Open, I only caught the 18th hole but I guess there was some controversy/drama on 16 for MacIntyre. I can't find a video of it but apparently he drove the ball into deep, thick fescure. His only play was to pitch out. Apparently MacIntyre wears a hybrid cleat, some metal spikes and some soft spike. The metal spikes were deep enough that he discovered he was on a sprinkler head. That got him free relief into a cleaner lie which he then hit to 10 feet and made eagle. I'm not blaming Bob, he used the rules to his advantage.
Not blaming Bob for using the rules to his advantage but at the same time it'd be nice if there seemingly wasn't these free get-out-of-jail-free cards waiting at every turn after bad shots. One of the NLU suggestions was a stipluation where if you're taking relief you have to recreate the lie as best you can.
The rules of golf are often needlessly punitive (see: no relief from fairway divots). I don't see a problem with taking advantage of them when possible.
It's weird that so often the take is along the lines of the player should only be hurt by the rules and shouldn't benefit or get away with something. I'm not saying that's quite what you're doing but it's definitely the vibe I get from the rules of golf crowd.

My oldest kid caddied for Tom Lewis in a Korn Ferry event a couple years ago and was in Harry Hall's group. He didn't have good things to say about Hall or his caddy. He's like the British version of Bryson - wears a cap and leaves the pin in all the time.
Tom Lewis proved to be a scumbag, talked about how he flew a 17 year old fan to England to meet her. There was a family following their foursome (the family with whom Harry Hall stayed when in town) and Tom told my son he wouldn't get a tip if he didn't get the teenage girl's number.
My middle kid caddied for MJ Maguire, who was a great dude. He was basically broke (as most of the guys playing Korn Ferry are) so tipped him with a bunch of sponsor's clothes. On their off day he had nothing to do so he and my son went and played a round at Sunday River together.

Is this a surprise? When he won at Winged Foot the first place he took the trophy was to Bedminster to celebrate with that whole family. He's had some good coaching on how to act for TV/Socials, but he is who he always was and the public stuff is just schtick.
Ryo Hisatsune was -4 on the three par 5s today and +15 on the other 15 holes. That’s one weird round.
Was a decent final round at the 3M yesterday. Ended up being a 4-man race between Jhonny Vegas, Matt Kuchar, Maverick McNealy and Max Greyserman. Vegas won with a birdie on 18. I had honestly thought he was on LIV these days, but good for him.
It's not very deep due to team limits but a pretty good top of the field at the Olympics this week. Team USA is Scottie, Xander, Wyndham Clark, Morikawa. Other notables that are playing include Rory, Rahm, Hovland, Aberg, Fleetwood, Lowry, Hideki among others. I wish they'd incorporate more of a team aspect than just 72-holes of stroke play but it's still a reasonable tournament. I think last time they had like a 9-way playoff for bronze. They are playing at Le Golf National, site of the 2018 US Ryder Cup disaster,

Xander, Hideki and Fleetwood are tied at the top of the Olympic leaderboard. Rahm is 2 back. Hideki had a 2-shot lead but doubled 18 to fall back.
Scottie is 5 back with a hole to play.

Good finish coming. Rahm appeared to be running away with it, having a 4-shot lead through 10 but back-to-back bogeys has thrown it open. Currently Rahm is tied with Fleetwood for gold & silver. Hideki a shot back in bronze position. Rory and Scheffler are a shot back of Hideki. France’s Victor Perez has mounted a charge and is also a shot back of bronze, but only has 2 holes left.
Xander reverting back to pants shitting Xander

Scheffler has been delivering unbelievable iron shots the last few holes.
One off the lead with a decent birdie chance on 17. But the leaders are on a Par 5, although the approaches weren't amazing.
