2020 PGA Championship, Harding Park discussion

[ualtim]

So, anyone else watching? I am really enjoying the crowdless version of a golf major. Watching Sunday morning’s groups, who are basically out of contention, converse so calmly and friendly is an interesting watch. With no pressure on them, they seem to relax, tell stories, have some side bets, and just seem to be enjoying themselves. I am sure that it will change as the leading groups begin to tee off and more pressure and money is on the line, but it has been a nice change of pace.

Phil Mickelson spent an hour in the booth, yesterday, after his round. He is a natural. I loved listening to his thoughts on various tee shots and pin placements and how he played the various holes. I would love to see more of this, today.

Koepka going for 3 in row.

Strong leaderboard.

Should be a good afternoon of golf.

And Justin Thomas with the F-Bomb.

Putt just slides by the hole after a great approach shot, “you gotta be f#@%!ng kidding me”

Even better, VanPelt and Duval do not even attempt to apologize for it. It is ESPN on the morning coverage, so they have been loosening their limits after they ran The Last Dance with an adult language version.

I am guessing that will not be tolerated as loosely as the coverage shifts to CBS.

....Thomas drops another F-Bomb on 9 and CBS feels the need to apologize.

Put it back on ESPN and let us hear it unfiltered.

DeChambeau tied for the lead. Sheesh! Don't want him to win.

Wolff went 5 under on 4 holes... 7, 8, 9, and 10. Birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle.

Wolff went 5 under on 4 holes... 7, 8, 9, and 10. Birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle.

Both of them have fallen off a bit the past few holes.

Very entertaining with so many close or tied for the lead. Hard to say there is a clear standout/favorite at the top of the board.

Could get crazy down the stretch.

DeRambo is DeRailing. Paul Casey making a go at it and Champ is hanging around. If DJ plays the back 9 like he has been, it's over.

 

[ualtim]

Wolf crawling back within a shot with two to go.

Still anyone’s game at the moment.

 

[ualtim]

J Day looking healthy and turning back the clock. Now in a tie for the lead.

 

[ualtim]

Wolf birdies on 18, posts -10.

 

[ualtim]

Finau drops a putt, now 6 tied for the lead.

 

[ualtim]

Casey back tied for the lead, now 7 tied for the lead and they are all on the back 9 or in the house.

Morikawa

Chip in to take the lead. Others catch him. Perfect drive on 16 close to the pin leaving makable eagle putt.

This guy is only 23? First year on tour?

Simply amazing.

He played very very very well today!

Speith surprised everyone when he did so well his first year or two. Today, he's an empty shadow of where he was. Hoping Morikawa doesn't fold/disappear like Jordan. The kid sure has game.

Yesterday Tiger blew a drive way right, walking off the tee box the mic caught him saying “******* dickhead”. I had to LOL because he sounded like me except my go to is “******* whore”.
