Spieth bounces back with birdie #12 💥

-7

[GhostOfTomJoad 9323]

Scottie with the heat check birdie!

[LTtxfan 49144]

Hole #12 is not a birdie hole today.  Spieth will have approx 20ft putt for birdie on #13.

When are you going to transfer some Longhorn love to someone who deserves it and give play-by-play on Scottie?

Unless NBC picks it up, won't see Spieth on #14.  Featured holes were #11, #12, and #13.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9323]

Someone please explain the purpose of the tee box camera on 6. It's a 3/4 angle of the golfers with the grandstands behind them. They hit the ball and a millisecond later it's out of view, and you have no idea where it went. You're left to judge the shot quality by whether or not they pick up their tee or start leaning and begging the ball to do something. Makes no sense.

[ztejas 43411]

Fuck me this Rory/Hovland pairing is awesome. Like a match play. 

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Scottie needs to can these putts. Hovland is dropping bombs and the rest of page 1 won’t stay stagnant all round. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9323]

Hovland is unconscious with his putter. Wow.

[dcar00 14153]

hovland was/is just a matter of time.  dude has serious game.

The long ones he's holed have been extremely makeable. He's leaving the ball in great spots on the green. 

[LTtxfan 49144]

Please wear this tomorrow Hovland...

My only guess is that it’s space limited for cameras back there and the European broadcasts get priority on placement.

[LTtxfan 49144]

Much better watching the featured holes coverage (#11, #12, and #13) on Peacock.  Showing more golf shots...  

[ztejas 43411]

Advantage Rory now. 

[ztejas 43411]

Curious to see how Hovland keeps it up if Rory can get the crowd going.

90% of the camera shots come from the world feed not NBC. Which shots are shown are decided in the NBC trailer.

He was kind enough to not hole that eagle putt.

Helluva chip shot by Smith on the green. Guy's got some stones.

I didn’t realize there was a world feed. There’s a tracker behind the tee box. Not sure why they aren’t showing it.

It’s probably as simple as they prefer to have the shot of the swing with the gallery behind.

Vik gonna hole this too.

Yeah... Par and -8 for Spieth thru 14 holes.

[ztejas 43411]

Rory should have birdied that. On to 8. 

[Wulaw Horn 19067]

The lack of coverage for Spieth when he’s in the top 10 and a name for the casuals is just astonishing.

Hovland does need to help the other guys out a little bit... 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9323]

Man, the wheels came off Xander's round. He's gone bogey-double-double his last 3 holes (11 - 13).

Meh. He's playing great but there's 6 guys within 4 shots of him. 

[dcar00 14153]

Speith really needs to get it to double digits.

[ztejas 43411]

Thanks for playing, Cam Young.

[ztejas 43411]

Eh that lie isn't horrible

Watching 11-13... pretty interesting 3 hole stretch today.  Several bogeys on #12 due to today's pin position...  

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

lol.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4768]

Do the announcers swallow, too?

[The Dude 1244]

Tirico should be fired on the spot for that Homa golf pun 

[Wulaw Horn 19067]

Any idea what Spieth is up to on 15?  Anywhere that there’s a shot tracker?

Did you see what Xander did to blow up like that? I'm assuming he had bunker/gorse issues.

So the wife was cowboying her D’s in my face and I’m thinking, “how is Hovland gonna play that bunker shot?” Is that wrong?

Depends. Post pics and we'll tell you.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9323]

Scottie's putter is letting him down.
