Just looked at the scores in the Safeway. Saw that Spieth missed the cut with a double on the 18th.
There's a new (to me) feature on the pgatour leaderboard which shows just how he managed it - when you click through on the player and the hole, you can now select 3d shotlink which shows a weird 3d view of the action. If you have a vpn set to the US it even displays the live video for each shot (assuming it was part of the coverage). Nifty.
So i can reveal that he faded his drive almost OB when he needed to hit a draw, got too greedy on his recovery and didn't get out, took a drop, missed the green with a difficult fade around the undergrowth, had a nasty chip and a two putt for a 7. At one point he was laughing manically....

Agree with this. I've been using this feature for a few years now and it's a handy way to keep up with your favourite player when they are not being featured on TV coverage.

Interesting final day on the ANA with Brooke and Nelly battling out - wouldn't mind either winning and their games are so controlled. I expect the LPGA would still like Lexi to close the gap to increase the drama and add another American into the mix. I'm massively jealous of their golf games right now.

All these players seem to have been around so long and still so young - Brooke, Lexi, Ko, Nelly to some extent and of course Wie normally.

Don't think it will be long before Nelly is World Number 1, but wonder if Brooke's 54 hole record just shows she's killer on closing things out. So sitting on the fence too! I think I'm expecting Brooke to win but I'd probably prefer it the other way round.

Also the two amateurs battling out inside the top 20 (I'm guessing) is fairly impressive. I'd be skipping college and getting a tour card, you never know if you'll lose confidence in your game so now seems the time to make money.

For some reason Sky have got the ANA streaming on YouTube, but with regular dead spots where there's just a screen with the tournament name on it, I assume that this isn't what you normally get with Sky golf?

Sounds a bit odd, although going on to check has just shown I'm 9 mins behind on TV and forgot about it! Can skip through a few more ads which is handy.

Just been watching a bit of Jiminez, seeing if he can hang onto a lead.
He's putting with his left hand as a "claw", so assume the right is more dominant. Interesting as I started on the putting green this morning putting right hand only and dropped two 20 footers in a row.
