I was quietly pulling for Xander. Two things happened today, Rory played out of his mind and Xander needed to play out of his mind because he was a head case from about 7 on. Somewhere around 12 Xander needed to pull the trigger and go for it, he didn’t if he couldn’t. Chamblee said it before the start today, Xander is too fidgety….i wanted to disagree, but I can’t.

Ideally we get all 3 of them in prime form. Rory is peaking at the right time and Brooks is coming off a win in LIV I believe.

Should be fun.

It's so bad. I try to support anything LSU so the ladies were playing so I tuned in for a bit to watch. I watched maybe three holes and had to turn it off. LSU's top player took what seemed to be a lifetime on every single putt, reading the green from all sides, readjusting her line numerous times, standing over her line in different areas, and using a plumb bob style read with her putter. She ran one by about 5 feet past on one hole and took just as much time on the 5 footer as she did the 30 footer.

Another LSU player averaged 10-20 regrips on every shot. In the little bit of time I watched, the commentators mentioned it being an issue. And I have watched a very small sample size, so I'm sure it gets talked about a lot.

I would have turned it off after seeing one girl take that much time on the green if it was someone other than LSU. I gave them a pass for a bit because it was LSU but after three holes it was pretty unbearable. I can't imagine watching an entire round.

I went in person to watch the girls once because I am friends with the coaches

It’s BRUTAL in person

I honestly can't imagine. I don't think I could do it if someone paid me if it's always as bad as what I watched.

It’s very very bad. When you are in person it’s so egregious because you don’t have the tv simply switching to other players

I think UClub/LSU is hosting this week. I may run over and walk a few holes Wednesday.
