Dude.

He’ll dial in his wedges to some sort of acceptable level.

It’s ridiculous that you’re downplaying his driving.

There are currently 71 players at +2 or better. He has a chance, but it's very slim imo.

He gained 3 strokes off the tee yesterday. That is absurd.

I'm sorry but when a guy gets put on loop 400 times for hitting a 400 yard drive and can't hit a wedge from 70 yards within 20 feet, im triggered.

The guy looks ridiculous. He looks like a thumb.

Will you please explain to this old fart what is meant by him gaining 3 strokes off the tee?

Until he dials them in do we need to continue to up play his driving that left him 7 strokes back yesterday?

And he just bitched about a dog barking in a yard next to the course.

He's annoying.

Say we’re on a par 5 with a scoring average of 5.

I hit my drive 260. From that spot In the fairway, the average amount of strokes to get in the hole is 4. So I didn’t gain or lose any strokes compared to the average.

You hit your drive 340. From that spot on the fairway, the average amount of strokes it takes to get in the hole is 3.

You just gained a stroke off the tee.

They calculate this for every hole in a round and add up how many strokes each player gained or lost compared to the field.

Thanks.

To me that doesn't embrace the KISS principle.

I'll just stick to fairways hit, green hits, and number of putts.

There is a really good No Laying Up podcast with Mark Broadie that talks about strokes gained.

Nope. Was a talking point on the broadcast.

There are currently 12 players at +2 that haven't completed their round. It might get interesting this afternoon.

He might get lucky........ but if he is having back issues he won’t be a factor this weekend. Which is a shame..... people want to see the best that every player can deliver with not much other sports going on......

A reporter asked him that after the round. He said if he makes the cut he will have to see how he feels tomorrow AM. He said every day is different.

Getting to listen to Bryson berate himself has been fantastic.

Yesterdays "frick this hole" was a classic.
