Anything but Clark winning and I’m happy. Guy is a total tool.

Fine. Patrick Reed it is.

It’ll be good to have the top players all competing in the same conditions going forward. The weather has been so impactful in the first two rounds I feel like moving day is going to be eventful. I just don’t know if the leaderboard reflects how guys are actually playing so far.

The early-late guys did end up getting the better draw by a half shot. The late-early guys ended up having 39 players make the cut vs 33. Both sides had good/bad conditions at times. Hit better shots and make more putts is the name of the game. I agree tomorrow could be quite a show. Look forward to see who’s got the guts to play a great round

No idea what the USGA has done with water, mowing, etc. for today, but watching the Golf channel “pregame”, the wind is strong this morning

We know they can make it so a good score is 75 but they claim to not want that.

Pretty sure they have big distaste for it being -15 however.

Let the course eat.

 

[t.m.]

Sometimes it’s just luck too. Clark hit 3 straight horrible drives yesterday that all ended up with good lies because they were so bad they finished in trampled down spectator areas.

Gutterup can't even place his ball to put, it is blowing the ball across the green. This is going to be brutal.

 

[t.m.]

If the ball keeps rolling like that, play will be suspended. At the same time, Gotterup needs to hit the damn ball. Standing there with the putter behind the ball for 5 seconds+ is just looking something to happen

 

[inCyteful]

They better have plenty of therapists waiting at the 18th. Maybe place them around the course.

Commentators seriously suggesting that a good strategy may include laying up on a par 3.

Carnage awaits.

 

[t.m.]

Unfortunately, they did mention that the winds will likely die down a little bit by the time the leaders are teeing off

 

[CyCrazy]

Fine. Patrick Reed it is.

Reed is just misunderstood

There will be a point during the day that the change in wind direction and speed will be yet another adventure.

 

[Rural]

First birdie BY ANYONE was just made.

Excellent. Excellent.

And promptly bogeys the next hole.
