Not Tim, but I do work for the PGA TOUR.

I meant we as a company, I had nothing to do with the decision.

We knew you weren't Tim. Just giving you the needle.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for the Tour?

Oh I know, I don't think anyone thinks the PGA TOUR Commissioner posts on TD.

I'm part of the team that monitors the tournaments and make sure the stats are gathered correctly and sent to clients like ESPN and Golf Network.

Unfortunately no, the Majors are in a distinct category. They are not run by the PGA TOUR, only included in the schedule for rankings and stats.

When I worked some tournaments for the networks, mostly CBS everything was pencil & paper. Now, everything is electronics.

Are you using the walking scorers with each group to get your stats?

The walking scorers don't actually do much of the statistics. Not officially anyway. We get some info from them, like where the shot originate (rough, green, fairway, etc). Almost all the stats are gathered by volunteers working the SHOTLink stations at the fairway and green of each hole.

The 2003 Sprint International was the last tournament I worked for CBS. Today, I think they are only using spotters with the groupls that Kostis & Feherty are working.

Checking in, pretty good match so far, hopefully it goes down to the last hole or 2

Eta: Mahan 3up through 8, Rory better get his shite together quick, he's been hitting some bad shots the last few holes

One of the announcers made a good point. Did the match with Westwood take it out of Rory?

Being 22 years old, physically no, mentally I would say so. However I think Mahan is applying way more pressure with all of his birdies.

I don't think Rory is used to someone hitting better shots than him, he's falling apart

Mahan 4up through 10
