Predictions ?
he could RF, he's looking good!! The best two swings i've seen in person: Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy
the course is a traditional older course, smaller sized greens, rough is crazy-- i mean fuckin crazy. Us amateurs would have a hard time finding the ball let alone getting a solid strike . Gotta drive it well here. Rory is swinging well. Holy shit the drive he hit @ 11? WTF. Connors busted one , had to be 330 ish. Rory was about 30yds- past him. He had about what looked like an 8 iron coming in on that par 5. He was moving the ball off the tee in either direction, a sign of confidence . Swing is so sick , dont think he's more than 5'9,lol
C Smith got things sorted yesterday. his transition is so cool -- it's like his hands are so passive in transition--they just fall, not pulling the hands. There's no 'rush' . Affable chap
its moving day!!!!!!!!

its moving day!!!!!!!!
they r off, rained in the early am. Course will play long, softened greens. Aint no one winning this if they r erratic off the tee today. That rough in wet conditions? no chance. Softened greens = flag hunting . Of that star-studded final group, JT has been the most consistent off the tee this week.
to add;
this is big day for Finau. He was in the final group with Tiger , Molinari at Augusta and really didnt handle it well. This would his biggest win of his career for a couple of reasons- its a National Championship (3rd oldest golf tournament behind the US Open, British Open) and equally important if not more so --he's in the final group, paired with 2 of the game's biggest names
can he own the moment?

Dagger at 18 with a knockdown 8 iron to 5 feet.
