My takeaways from my Saturday's experience being there:

Great crowd (duh)

Spieth is thinner than I thought, but I had to remember TV adds 10lbs to almost everybody.

Brooks Koepka is a big muscular dude, more ripped than I realized. (my wife had fun watching him, being tall, dark and fit, she was like )

Brooks hit a moonshot drive, I think the 15th, and his brother turned to the few following and flexed his bicep. People were laughing.

The crowd following Spieth's group reminded meof Tiger's crowd in late 2000 at Orlando, maybe '99. By far the largest crowd of any grouping by miles. Golf is in great shape w/o El dickhead.

While playing and waiting his turn to hit, Spieth spoke with a young girl by the rope and he also shook a young boys hand on another fairway too. Don't know if its common, but he was the only player I saw do it.

yep, a good number of the younger players invest time with the kids during the round.

I love how the PGAT has a kids only autograph section and most of their events - it is a great strategy.


Jordan is 1st class all the way - Phil has done a good bit with the 20 somethings on tour to get them educated about the importance of interacting with the fans....and signing autographs.
