Here are the lofts on Bryson's irons vs. "std" lofts of Titleist T100. 4iron 16/24, 5 iron 19.5/27, 6 iron 21.5/30, 7 iron 25/34, 8 iron 30/38, 9 iron 35/42 and PW 40/46  His numbers mean nothing. I remember Nicklaus' 1 iron being 17 deg.....

The distance differences should be more pronounced on his short irons than long irons. BDC’s shafts are all 37.5” which is the standard length for a 6 or 7 iron. So his short irons have both stronger lofts but also longer shafts. On his long irons, the loft differences will be less effecting  because of the  shorter than normal shafts.

Yeah, many years ago Tommy Armour put out a set where all the shafts were the length of a 7iron.  They were also stronger lofted too.

Not sure if any current clubmakers offer sets with same length shafts anymore...

They'll probably crack a couple open at the turn.

My bad... TV coverage starts now.  Tee off in a few mins.  DJ still on practice range.

Says 9:50am CT tee time

DJ and Spieth with similar outfits... Look like Ryder Cup teammates...   

Whether Viktor Hovland, who enters the final round trailing by one stroke, wins the Wanamaker Trophy or not this week at the 105th PGA Championship at Oak Hill is still to be determined, but if he does so it may be due to his secret weapon: Edoardo Molinari.

That would be the older brother of British Open champion Francesco Molinari, a former U.S. Amateur champion, three-time DP World Tour champion and European Ryder Cupper, who is serving as an assistant captain later this year in his native Italy.

Molinari also is an engineer by trade and his keen use of stats made him a trailblazer in the use of data analytics in golf. It also has led to the creation of a business that is helping some of the game’s top players learn their strengths and weaknesses, strategy and course management and how to practice more effectively. Among his students who rely on his advanced data analytics are reigning U.S. Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick, Thomas Pieters and Hovland.

Winner probably comes from this list.  Lowry sometimes goes low in final rounds

No one below Rory has a chance in a million years. And I don't think Rory has any realistic shot other than he came back down 5 in at the Tour Championship last year and shot a 64 at Augusta on Sunday 5* majors ago.

DJ keeps pulling shots left so far today... his power fade needs to wake up

Probably right, but JT came back from 7 shots in a past PGA.  Really hope Scottie gets hot today...

He did - but the top of that leaderboard didn't really instill fear and that was an easier track. 

Plus, none of these guys are JT. I'd give someone at E a shot if they were a stud and it wasn't a 4 time major winner at -6.

But uhhh... Michael Block and Justin Suh? Thanks for playing, guys - here's a check.

Pretty strong group as ztejas says...

Zero chance the winner isn’t starting the day under par. I’d be really surprised if it’s not one of the guys at -5 or -6. The early returns look like the course will be gettable. I think -8 gets you in a playoff -9 to win.

Spiethcoaster engaged... 

  • two early birdies
  • back-to-back bogies

seems about ready to become unhinged.

Early play indicates there could be a 65 out there.

Whoever told Amanda to start covering up her rack, they need to be shot. 

Not just the rack, a couple of weeks ago I saw her wearing a pantsuit, ala Hillary.  Are you kidding, CBS?  You don't want more viewers?

By the time the leaders get out there the course will have dried up enough to limit the possibilities of a 65, imo.  That one dude already scored a 31 on the back nine.  Anybody who is now playing the first 4 or 5 holes has a chance at a 65, imo.

I like Hovland today. Not sure why.

We both liked him for Masters Sunday and he went out and took a shit on national television. He needs to start winning more elsewhere before he lands a major. 

One other fearless forecast.  Michael Block will shoot a 72, which is good enough for top 15.

Cam Smith is -4 through 6

Great song going to break. A little Erie Canal by the Boss.

Yeah with conditions today, shooting a 65 and possibly even a 64 are within reach...

And really interesting how CBS has a preset list of things to cover and refuses to show any further updates on a guy that is white hot like Cameron. 

 

They showed one tiny highlight of him, and that's it....just ignore the fact he has so many birdies. 

Yeah their coverage has been lacking. Too much bullshit that isn't golf. Why are we watching Koepka on the range right now.

I hear more coverage of Cam is available during LIV golf tournaments on the CW. 😋

I’d much rather Vic win than Brooks and would be pleasantly surprised if he can pull it off. 

Is Block playing with Rorance?

Talk about a pinch me I'm dreaming moment. 

He must be because Rory is first off the tee with the other guy that's E.

I mean seriously can you fucking imagine?

That roar all along the first hole for Block had to be a surreal moment for him.

they got the green jacket crew to along with a LIV embargo, the PGA will obviously cooperate

This might get boring in a hurry if he’s going to play like this. 

Koepka birdies #2,   now at -7

Made need Brooksie to back up at some point for someone to catch him...
