Just hearing the commentary now re Bryson philosophy that he will hit it as far as possible off the tee, then find it, then wedge it in from the rough and score that way. Virtually word for word from Ewan Murray.
Well, someone will find it. If he was playing with only his pp, no spotters, to etc, he would not find it most times.
Goes back to my comments earlier in the thread about these Pros who don't get lost balls due to spotters etc, and who otherwise would rack up big scores.
Bryson D Ch policy proves it. He knows he's on a course with no bushes, just big trees he can swing under, so wherever he goes off fairway, it is recoverable and,with his length, playable to the green with his next shot.
IMO, If he had a almost certain chance of being in an unplayable lie when off the fairway ( PGA don't seem to have such courses) , then he would change tactic, or fail the cut.

So, I wonder, what will be done, if anything.?

This is just the the bomb and gouge game straight up ... Tiger was the master, Phil was and is ( I mean he keeps on course wear and tear to a minimum, with the places he goes!)

The fact that someone finds it is the issue, would be great to hear the ref shout “re-load” .... would shake them up a bit if they realised no one was going to find it until the next group has come through ?

Dan Hendrickson told about his brother who played the Hero open last week that he was playing well but was too short to compete. He was laying up while the others took mid irons into the green. Same story. You don’t have to be super long like BdC but there is a certain length you have to get to be able to make cuts.

This was the criticism of Luke Donald as well .. but he did well for a period
 
While football on TV without crowds is awful - golf on tv without crowds is much better, love being able to hear the interaction between players and between players and caddies, and the reactions to shots good and bad - and the courses look much better.

Agreed with all this.
While I wish no ill on any ticket holders, I'm really looking forward to seeing Augusta au naturelle.
 
Some decent pairings today as you’d expect for a Saturday in a major, wonder if it may inspire one or two players to a decent round, thinking JT with speith, and maybe even poults with Mickelson. Saying that, not sure I’d fancy being the rules official with BDC and Patrick reed...

Shame it’s on so late, and the only highlights I’ve seen have been terrible.

New putter’s working a charm for Tiger ?

Lol.
Just watched grillo hole another one. I remember watching him at waltham heath a few years ago, he putted well then, but off the top of my head his stats not good any more. Maybe he's streaky and this will be his week.
Given the conditions, it'll be interesting to see how today plays out. Sadly, with the leaders teeing off so late, I'll miss most of it.
