I like a 1st time major winner this week.PGA Championship, Southern Hills, Tulsa , Oklahoma
the defending Champion is MIA. The Phil Mickelson fall has been unbelievable. Off to LIV Tour i guess, seriously?
who does everyone like?
Xander must have found something over the weekend. 88% GIR's for Sat and Sun, whoa
Spieth is feeling it. He has made swing changes , its takin time but he is hitting it so solid tee to green. he has gotten longer too. If he can get the putter sorted?
got a hunch Rory plays well
havent dug in yet
crazy stat here;
Could the 104th PGA Championship be decided by Friday? History at Southern Hills says 'yes!'
Leading after 36 holes is the place to be in a major at Southern Hills.golfweek.usatoday.com
Smith
Zalatoris
Schauflee
Cantlay

par 70, 7500 ?
wtf. this is a beast. This aint going to be no drive/wedge competition
. Only 2 par 5's and they are both not reachable for most of the field if played to full distance
#13 par 5, 632 yds
#15 par 5 656 yds
WOW..who is on in 2 @15?........big hitters have little advantage on the par 5's
apparently off the tee its fair, not crazy tight like a US open layout. Both Lowry, Rory said that practice rounds. Both agreed that iron play and around the greens will play large. Again, there's no rough around the greens , and most greens are elevated, run offs. Fuck, would have been a good course for Phil!!
How can Spieth do poorly? . Great around the greens (very creative), has added distance off the tee , stripping the irons and in form
notable top 15 iron GIR ytd;
Rahm
Scottie
Pereira
Morikawa
Matsuyama
Zalatoris
Conners
Burns
C Smith
(Xander is 16th)
given the length of this course 150-175 yds approach will play more often than other weeks. notable top 15 GIR's from this range;
Matsuyama
C Smith
Finau
Pereira
Knox
Cantlay
Berger
extending to 175-200 range and 3 players overlap from the above list: Finau, C Smith, Knox
Knox, Pereira pose interesting long shot/top 25. Knox is 150th in scrambling tho, Pereira is 15th! Mito has 2 top 25s in his last 4 starts
dont like Hovland. He's a great iron player, but pass with that short game. And form is in question .
from the biggies, liking-
Xander
Cantlay
Spieth
Matsuyama
JT
and Rory, for the hell of it...lol

aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd they r off. Looks like those that go early will have an advantage, wind starting to pick up
notable pairings;
Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama, Tony Finau
Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth
Shane Lowry, Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott
Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay
Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler
Caesars Sportsbook on Tuesday reported taking a $20,000 bet on Woods to win the tournament at 60-1 odds. The bet was made in cash, over the counter at Caesars Sportsbook at the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip. If Woods wins, the bet would pay a net $1.2 million, one of the largest payouts on a golf wager ever.
"Just amazing how much of a draw Tiger is," Craig Mucklow, director of trading for Caesars Sportsbook, told ESPN. "We always have a liability on him regardless of his price. He is the prime-time draw of all time for the bettors and likewise for the [betting] industry. We want him in the field, just not the liability."

Woods grimacing late in the round, cant get to the lead side. Bet agasint for tomorrow imo, and if he makes the cut i'd expect a similar weekend as he had at Augusta
i think Spieth got lost in the moment, paired with these 2. Dude was hitting the center of face all last weekend, today- toe shots? wtf

wow . Gotta love Sunday heat. Par 4 18th1 shot lead , a par and you are winna. Trouble on the right cant lose it right. No hesitation, he pulled out driver. He's been losing it right all day , lol. Water. Unreal. All 4 players before him hit 3-wood. Does his caddie talk at all?
Mito froze, synapses went into spasm--look at the follow through of that swing!! something you'd see at your local driving range. Off the charts nuts. There was no commitment on that swing. Hard to watch

One American player to play in a sudden death match play event for all the marbles . Get to choose only 1 , who does everyone pick ?
Give me JT , he is SUCH a gamer . Fearless dude . Can move the ball either way , and under heat has no problem with any shot selection . The guy hit a knock down 6 iron to the Island green 17th at Sawgrass in the crazy wind , 130 yds lol .
Congrats JT !!
