February 17, 20196 yr golf is looking more like Daytona with all the wreckage. Edited February 17, 20196 yr by Jive Turkey
February 18, 20196 yr double fist pumps on 16. JB with a huge par save from the bunker, and JT with a huge birdie putt. JT is one back.
February 18, 20196 yr Fuck J.B. Holmes. I don’t care so much that he has to go through his 4 minute shot routine......on........every.......fucking.....shot.i say to each his own. I care that he refuses to initiate it until it his turn. The majority of his bullshit Prescott routine could be expedited while the other guys are hitting their shots. By the time they got to 14 they were a full hole (which I’m reading was a par 5) behind and didn’t get warned. I’m not particularly a JT fan, but that shit finally got to him and Adam.

February 18, 20196 yr DVR'd it and watched it late last night. Yeah, the announcers called him on it more than once, saying the same thing, "why couldn't he have done this when scott was playing?" That last group was super slow, not just Holmes though. Thomas reading his greens book while freaking standing on the green. I don't know how long those last five holes were in real time, thank god I could FF through it. I mean, I get it, they're playing for big money, but does all that time really help them? Thomas reading his book on the green certainly did not seem to help. On 13, he took forever and still 3 putted, albeit from 75 feet. But he certainly could have 3 putted in a lot less time. The group in front had teed off on 16 before the final group was done with 13. On 17, must've taken Thomas 10 minutes to figure out to lay up. Again, not sure because I FF'd through it.

Spieth's inconsistency is a head scratcher. Sometimes I wish Greller would just knock him upside his head to get him to stop being such a baby on the Weekends. Jordan's got "trying too hard/own worst enemy disease" Edited February 18, 20196 yr by LTtxfan

Jordan's got "trying too hard/own worst enemy disease" I saw, but can't find right now, a comment by Greller where he basically stated that Jordan needed to stop using the greens book so much. That he is a natural putter and he is overthinking on the greens. But that would not explain the 5 bunker shots on #10 yesterday.

February 18, 20196 yr so what is being limited? IIRC, it’s the detailed numbers Bryson was calculating that they objected to Details herehttp://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/articles/2018/10/usga-r-a-finalize-limits-on-green-reading-materials-in-golf.html

That is piss-poor form for someone with his track record. There are FOURTEEN Americans ranked above him. And this is a 25 year old, 3 time major winner. I don't know if he got complacent or has something going on off the course or an unreported injury or caught the yips or what, but this is beyond a bad stretch. This is like a really shitty 52 weeks of golf he has put together when he's supposed to be in his prime winning years. It's just bizarre for someone of his caliber to fall off like this. Then again, it's golf.

February 20, 20196 yr 3 hours ago, Lerka Lerka said: Bro, tap the brakes with the Duval comparison. Agree. Duval fell apart because he got depressed from a failed relationship, got vertigo and had major back problems. Jordan's issues appear to be between his ears (at times), and some swing flaw issue that rears its head at times causing him to do things like drive into the ocean at Pebble or jhave multiple blow up holes at Riviera (and similar incidents elsewhere -- like Augusta).

February 21, 20196 yr It took Spieth all of 5 years on tour to pass Duval. Keep up with the dumb shit though.
February 21, 20196 yr Better ball striker and swing, imo when Speith went on his tear, he was just knocking down an amazing percentage of putts. It was unreal. That putting stroke is gone, putting more pressure on him to improve other parts of this game to compensate. Edited February 21, 20196 yr by tx 3 putt
February 21, 20196 yr Cross handed putters are forever streaky. His wedge game was the best in the world. He chased distance like many others. Duval chased fitness and wrecked his golf swing. Jordan is young. Golf swing being worse is irrelevant. It’s subjective. Golf swings don’t score.
February 21, 20196 yr Good god, wanted to watch the Mexico tourney when I get home and after hearing that Jordan was minus 1 after the first hole then just saw a score airs and he is plus 4? He’s getting doubles every round now, it’s maddening
February 22, 20196 yr whenever I get depressed about Jordan's golf game I like to watch this, always cracks me up

By themselves maybe not, but a consistent ball striker that is an icy/hot putter can win a lot of tournaments. There are a lot of those guys on tour. You dont have to be an elite short game player every weekend - just when you need to be.

February 22, 20196 yr Insane side spin shot by tiger out of the fairway bunker! Lipped out the birdie though. Edited February 22, 20196 yr by 4th&Five

Spieth is my favorite player, in the current era. But I'm starting to worry that maybe you should say was not is. He needs to find his juju again, as he has fallen behind both the younger players (JT & BDC) and the rejuvenated older players (DJ & Rory) and even the old players are playing much better golf on a consistent basis (Phil & Kuch). Since last years Masters he has exactly 1 top ten. There is nothing I'd like to see more that JS go on another run like he had in '15 & '17 (maybe he plays better in odd years, I'm hoping to see it soon....say in 7 weeks)

DJ has just one major. Kopeka has 3 but not as many tour wins as Spieth and is older. It's pretty clearly Rory then Spieth over the past 10 years imo.
February 23, 20196 yr With 36 to play he’s closer to DJ than SH Park is to him. So he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
February 23, 20196 yr I haven’t been watching but there seems to be an inordinate number of high scores. What is it about this course that’s so tough?

February 24, 20196 yr Rory was 11 under on the front 9 on Friday. He’s even since. DJ running away with this.
February 24, 20196 yr Not bashing Spieth as he is my favorite player on tour, but he needs to dump McCormack. I do not dislike the guy and he apparently is an excellent teacher, but sometimes you need a change. Pretty much every great golf pro does this.
