That is one of the things I don't like about it. No water.

Excellent slo-motion camera work on Bryson hitting a iron shot .

I know he plays extremely stiff shafts in his irons. The way that shaft bent and wiggled after he hit the ball was impressive.

I played golf with Otis Thorpe one day.

His irons were 2 inches long with green Victory oversized grips with 5 wraps of tape.

It was like swinging a sledgehammer.

saw a lot of good golf shots roll off the green today... close to being un-fair...

If a shot rolled off the green it prolly wasn’t a good golf shot. Might’ve been almost a good golf shot. In my opinion that’s why this is the best major test. Separates the almost good from good. You have to be in complete control of your golf ball out there coming into the right areas of greens at the right angle, with the right shape, with the right spin. Not just hit wedges at pins

That Payne Stewart story with his son for the final round intro got me good.

Did you just see the shot Rory hit? That was a good shot. Now he will do well to make a 5. That is why this course is a clown course.

This is a clown course for sure. Not as bad as shinnecock but still stupid. I mean Rory was 30’ on the green and rolled off

Smokes a 5 iron. One hop onto the green. Ball almost comes to a stop and then rolls off into a shite lie. What a farce.

Yep, the greens are so touchy everything is a challenge, Rory’s experience in high pressure is really showing today.

He’s choked the last two holes. Rors is gonna give this to Bryson.
