May 16, 20241 yr Xander must be getting into Olympic form, he’s still killing it, picking up from where he left off last weekend. Can he hold up this week? Guessing not, but he’ll be up there.
May 16, 20241 yr no wind. rough doesn't look very penal. it rained there yesterday so greens are soft. 20 under might win this thing unless they let the greens dry up. Edited May 16, 20241 yr by Jive Turkey
May 16, 20241 yr On 5/13/2024 at 9:39 AM, Jive Turkey said: Jordan went chasing distance and the rest of his game fell apart. his best year was 2015. 5 wins, including the first two majors (plus T4 at the Open and second at the PGA). he averaged 291.8 off the tee. the next two seasons, he had 5 combined wins and was hitting drives a little over 295 yards. then he wanted to get to 300 yards off the tee. which he has done, but his game has suffered. it's not a coincidence. fairways hit has gone down as he has gotten longer, which puts a strain on everything else. and that exacerbates the headcase displays with Greller. https://www.statmuse.com/pga/ask/jordan-spieth-driving-distance-by-year he became a head case he had a hell of run, but it was a fluke

May 16, 20241 yr Xander running away with this already and other than Scottie, this morning wave feels like the stronger wave. Also, how do I get a Super Stroke grip with the Longhorn logo on it like Jordan's?

May 16, 20241 yr Marty Smith and golf isn’t a good fit. He needs to stick to NASCAR, Cornhole and SEC football.
May 16, 20241 yr I like the course, conditions are just too calm for it to have much resistance. And I don't care how low he went, I've seen Xander blow it too many times to believe in this.

Regardless, he dominated every level of golf from juniors up until 2017. I'd hardly call that a fluke. A fluke is Danny Willet in 2016 in April.

Did willet win 3 majors ? spieth won 3 majors then woke up. If he can win one more major some point in his career, it was not a fluke type run
May 16, 20241 yr Author Maybe Scottie's feeling he needs a good first 2 rounds, because Ted is not on the bag for Saturday. But he'll be back on Sunday; he's taking 1 day off to go to his daughters graduation. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/scottie-scheffler-pga-championship-caddie-2024-valhalla

If he can win one more major some point in his career, it was not a fluke type run Maybe we just have different definitions of fluke. 1 major and otherwise fairly non existent - fluke. Dominating juniors, NCAA, and winning 3 majors within the first 4 (5?) years on the PGA - that's a long, strong, steady run of power. If Scheffler falls off a cliff next year thru 2029, is the run he's been on since juniors to 2024 a fluke in your book?
May 16, 20241 yr Comparing the pga tour and the majors to jr golf and ncaa is laughable scheffler has two majors, same as Daly Edited May 16, 20241 yr by tx 3 putt
