I think the problem a lot of people had / has with JB is not so much his slow play as it is his icing guys when he is in contention. He plays slow to begin with, but when in contention, it is like a whole different level of slow, intentionally the way people see him.
Agree. It's obviously facetious, and I like the fact that he's not afraid to make fun of himself.
Agree. He’s just having fun. If you don’t love Phil, well, you probably have some issues.
You can play a strong fade with a closed club face. The move is so deliberate and strong it's easy to repeat. Same thing is true for a draw. Cup your wrist on the backswing and play with an open face backswing. Different release but easy to repeat.
Results guarantied or your money back.

The Phil commercial is awful. Tongue in cheek or not, it’s horrible. And I like Phil but damn brother.
Great commercial, c'mon. And the perfect time for Phil to pull this out. The tour could use more guys to loosen up and put their guard down.

Agree to disagree. Middle aged white man with no rhythm trying to dance isn’t what I want to see. Hey, it took balls for him to make it. So good for him. Still think it is awful. LOL.
It accomplished exactly what they wanted. Genious marketing IMO. Make it so cheesy that folks will talk ALOT about it.
I don’t like Tiger’s chances on this course. It’s a 7500 yard par 70. It also sets up well for righthanders who draw the ball. This means Woods is going to need to hit driver a lot. That’s not good.
A guy that I think will love this setup is Bubba Watson. He loves to fade it, which works perfect for a left hander here. It also sets up well for Rory.
Robert Trent Jones course which means long par 4’s and big greens. Look for guys that have high strokes gained off the tee and strokes gained putting. Strokes gained on approach will not be as important with the large greens. Also some guys that struggled at The Open’s with the links setup of both courses will do well here. Jason Day, Justin Thomas, John Rahm all should be top 20 here where they really struggled at Carnousti and Shinnecock. Tiger may struggle because you have to play the driver at this course, but he may do well because his best starts this year have been on the back end of 2 weeks in a row playing. Who knows?
My DraftKings lineup:
Thomas
Day
Rahm
Finau

John Daly really is my favorite person ever.
That jacket!
Threw a little coin on Bubba at +4500. That's a really curious line w/ 20 guys in front on him w/ shorter odds? Dude has won 3x this year, and course sets up like a DREAM for him.
Also sprinkled Rickie at +2000 & List at +10,000

1. Rich Beem is really short
2. Where is Day?
3. Jimmy Walker and Keegan Bradley are DBags.
I’m 100% sure neither will even be in contention come Sunday since I bet on them, but not looking too bad as of right now.
Hehehe, Tiger was ready this week. Fleetwood hits a fade. Every dogleg on this course is right to left, but fades are available on the par 3's, none of the guys that move the ball left to right are doing well here.
Yep. Watching the leaders hit and they are all moving the ball left to right.
I really like the setup of this course. The balls are easy to hit off the fairway and tough to hit everywhere else. I also like how the balls in the sand roll to the bottom of the trap and set so the player doesn't have to get in a weird stance and play it. Fair test of golf and the best players playing the best are on the top of the leader board. I used to enjoy the US Open because it is so punishing, but I am more and more appreciating the other tournaments and the test of golf they present. The battle against the elements in The Open, the battle against the layout at Augusta, and the always fair setup battle against the course at the PGA are great. I was really disappointed this year at the USGA for letting the course get super tough Saturday and then doing a complete change up on Sunday. The guys who trucked along staying out of trouble for 3 days got hosed by the bombers on Sunday when they softened everything up. Either make it super tough or don't, but changing the setup on Sunday from what you did the rest of the week is pretty lame.
DJ was right there before his irons betrayed him yesterday (55% GIR) and his has hit 71% FIR the last 2 days. The right to left/left to right may come into play on a select few holes, but for most that is irrelevant, especially to those who have a higher percentage of FIR and are looking to use their iron play as their focal point.
Rahm shoots 66 with 32 putts...if he makes anything he is leading.
Koepka hits only 11 greens thanks to some shoddy drives, but 25 putts keeps him on top.
There is no doubt Tiger is stil the most talented golfer on the planet because there is not another soul who could have gone through what he has and contend as quickly as he has, but his biggest challenge is the mental hurdle of getting the ball in the fairway when the pressure is really on.
