I kinda hope Putnam stays inside the cut line. Yesterday the tv guys barely showed him it seemed as he was playing with Bryson & Rory. Mind I guess their tee shots were more interesting ??

On the 18th yesterday the shot tracker had both Rory and Bryson 335 yards off the tee to Unknown with 150 yards left.

Watching Jordan Spieth yesterday, he really has found some new consistency to his game, & hardly missed a fairway. He's sneaky long too. Hope he can get a win soon. I'm liking Brooks Koepka too at the moment, such an uncomplicated style of playing & looks healthy again. Missed cut for DeChambeau & McIroy, poor for them. Course getting very firm & tricky, going to be fascinating to watch. I never really had much previous love for Andrew Coltart but his commentary is growing on me.

Yeah same here with Andrew Coltart... he use to annoy me profusely, but now I’m appreciating his directness and “tell it how it is” way of commentating! Perhaps it’s after hearing all the utter drivel the American commentators peddle out ?

10th hole, 304 yds downwind- why are they smacking driver past the green?
Why not lay up to the front left with a long iron?

Because, historically, you're more likely to make a birdie by going for the green than by laying up. The stats say so.
But on day 1 75% of those who didn't go for it made a birdie against something like 16% who went for it.
The fact that only 4 didn't go for the green says a lot about it..
It's only 300 yards..I can get there...I can't lay up...

Taylormade Youtube Channel had DJ, Wolfe and Morikawa playing a couple of balls each a few days back. Looks like all the stats info says the way to play it is go for the green and miss left if you miss.
Playing short is an easy way to make 7 if its goes wrong apparently.....

4 guys didn't go for the green...3 made a birdie.
The rest went for it and 16% of them made a birdie...
Stats eh?

American commentators saying the wind is directly behind Rickie as he's lining up a putt and half a dozen leaves blow directly across him...

Well I’ve watched about 6 groups go through, and they are struggling for pars because they’re going through the back and they can’t attack the pin from back there.
The only ones who could, like Rickie, finished short left.

My evening ruined too. Have never seen it like this in all the years I've been following this event. They've had some serious rain events which curtailed it but rarely high winds with lovely weather. This course has some lovely huge tall trees & the debris looked like it was blowing everywhere. Greenstaff were hand watering just now, not sure that will have any effect. Stuck with chat & highlights all evening.

Haven't put it on yet, have they called it for the day or until the wind dies down?
