-4 today for Spieth, currently T-21. He won’t stay there with this birdie fest going on

Spieth with a nice -4 today

Although I hate the shout-outs, “Scoop there it is” made me chuckle 

[4th&Five 42026]

So great!

Was that a line out of Entourage? From Seth Green to Eric “hey tell Sloan I said what’s up” . . .

Sabbatini not so liked on tour. Quite funny.

Sabbatini sat in front of me at a baseball game and we ended up getting hammered. Funny guy.  One of the few Wildcats I actually like.

[ztejas 44285]

Leaderboard getting pretty stacked. Even with Sergio already imploding through 4.

[4th&Five 42026]

These mid-round editorials are fucking dumb. They already don’t show enough golf. 

[ztejas 44285]

Oh good I was worried we wouldn't get a Jimmy Roberts Tiger retrospective right when the leaders on Saturday are making the turn. Maybe we can get 6 minutes of ads right after this.

@4th&Five beat me to it 😆

Perfect time for the daily Tiger suck off segment. Good lord NBC is trying so hard to force “better than most” into an iconic golf moment.

It would be more iconic if Tiger didn't have 15 fucking majors. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4918]

If Tiger returns, will the PGA give him a cart exemption ... one with a wet bar, of course?

"While Justin Thomas is leading the Players behind a 64 on the day I'm going to share my opinion that he has the best swing in golf"

[Colonel Sanders 1404]

Justin Thomas is this generation's Shooter McGavin. 

[Jive Turkey 13018]

Doug Ghim tied for the lead!

[ztejas 44285]

Ghim has been playing great the past couple of weeks. He's going to have a lot to think about overnight if he stays towards the top going into tomorrow.

[ztejas 44285]

Bryson putting on a clinic. We know there's a 64 out there. He's to 5 under with 6 to play. 

And Doug just one off that pace - 4 under through 12 and on the green at 13.

Yeah, he’ll likely be paired with a bad ass, like JT or Rahm or Bryson or Westwood. Doug’s gonna find out a lot about himself. 

Unbelievable tourney so far for his first Players.

And a driver. 

[ztejas 44285]

I just can't help but laugh at some of these drives. I have no idea how you hit the ball that hard on a line that tight. Has anyone hit like this since prime Tiger? Have to wonder if it catches up with his back and lower body the same way. 

I mean this is absurd:

Although he just miss hit his 2nd. Doesn't matter if you can't score.

Edited March 13, 2021 by ztejas

[ztejas 44285]

Getting a little nervy for Doug. He needs to get through these next 2 without incident.

You really do have to wonder if there is a physical impact that will bite him at some point. It doesn’t feel sustainable, but who knows at this point.

[Lurch 5951]

I’d be interested in seeing the sales stats on single length irons.

[Updawg 2388]

They are getting more popular

I’ve never tried any.

[Jive Turkey 13018]

Sergio quietly back in the mix. 

[ztejas 44285]

What a roll. He's going to be tough to beat tomorrow. Again.

It will catch up to him, at some point. Just have to tweak it once...

Nothing quiet about that last one!

[Jive Turkey 13018]

And then he blows the putt. So Sergio. 

[ztejas 44285]

A woman would design that hole.

He converted.  Like Rod Carew.

Damn right  he counts. He married into Longhorn royalty.

the way he spins his front foot out takes some of the pressure and torque off his back in my opinion.  Its actually a lot like a baseball power hitter swing these days.

sure he could tweak it but its not like the Nicklaus reverse C.  IMO, the wider stance and flatter swings these days help with the back problems the guys in the 70's and 80's had(see Couples).  These guys do a lot more stretching and massage recovery type stuff than the Fuzzy Zoeller's, Lee Trevino's and the like.

His swing does look less damaging than what Tiger used to do. Tiger was more twisty and jerky. I think people forget how hard/far Tiger used to hit the ball. I'd warrant he's still the longest hitter ever relative to the competition. I watched this video recently and it's astounding:

 

[maninblack 7975]

Not a fan of Scott Harrington's look this morning. If you want to throw on a hoodie and joggers as you roll out of bed hungover on a Sunday morning to go play the local muni with the boys that's one thing. The Player's Championship on the PGA Tour? Come on dude.

[hookem48 4857]

Jordan doubling a par 5 to go with a couple birdies, classic Jordan

[ztejas 44285]

Westy just might fuck around and win the Players.

[Dewey 3335]

I don't know, maybe punch it out and get par.

Yeah. Amazing at 47. This course can get a player in trouble in a hurry but I'm kind of rooting for this youngster Westwood.

Or he'll put one in the water on the 2nd.

Brian Harman always looks like he's wearing his older brother's hand me downs

[ztejas 44285]

Oof. Knew that was wet as soon as he hit it. Brutal lie for Casey.

This leaderboard is stupid.

Very tough course and fortunes change in a hurry. Can't tell who will win it. These types of tournaments are fun to watch. 

[Dewey 3335]

JT going to make this interesting, not sure he's cooled off from yesterday's round. 

[Jive Turkey 13018]

you typically don't see a PGA tour player shank a pitching wedge.  but 17 will do that to you.  ask Brendon Todd.

Nor do you see one cold top a 3 wood off the tee. 

[Jive Turkey 13018]

Brendon Todd shanks a wedge.  worst shot of the tourney.

Bryson:  hold my beer.

Westwood:  hold my pint.
