He kind of has to do stuff like that to win against guys who have so much more distance, though.   Obviously, doing something really stupid doesn’t benefit him or anyone else, but he has to take chances and have a more aggressive mindset.  If he just goes by the book, his chances of winning majors are limited to the odd British Open where bad weather  neutralizes the bombers. 

to some extent but there is a line though.  

[Firemans4Horn 18123]

Rahm is locked in. 

[ztejas 43538]

Rahm ain't fucking this up.

Something about these Spanish cocksuckers.

[Hagbard Celine 10923]

that's what rahm needs to do - come heavy and attack

Ah, well.  Nevertheless.

He’s now 11th on tour this year in driving distance, so point well taken.   He was 45th a few years ago, and I guess in my mind he’s still that guy.  

He’s increased his club head speed steadily over the last few years. Really addressed what was considered a weakness, not that it really was one. He wasn’t Luke Donald or anything. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9352]

just checked leaderboard and he cratered this morning finished shot 76 for round 3
dropped 10 places today
16 players in front of him
doubt he'll be trying a horns down when he gets his coat

He won't get a coat. And he needs to finish inside the top 12 to get an invitation back next year. Kid's got game, but this could be his first and only chance at Augusta.

Never tempt the golf gods.

That was years ago - when he was winning all his majors. It certainly didn’t matter then and his distance isn’t his problem now. He’s playing MUCH better golf over the last 2+ years. Driving accuracy is his biggest issue. Having an average drive 20 yards behind Rory, or 20 yards ahead of young stud Morikawa - is not an issue.

And he's playing the best driver out there. Titleist is ahead of the game right now.

[ztejas 43538]

Turn out the lights when you're done, Rahm.

[pops 7006]

Cantlay will probably never get skin cancer,  but good shit.... rub that sunscreen in. He looks like a lathered up horse after a hard ride.

I didn't totally believe he actually said that, so just googled for video...and the dumbf-ck actually did!

Koepka needs a 2 shot swing somewhere but Rahm probably won't let him in.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9352]

Hovland looking like Fowler 2.0. Can't root against him, always gonna lurk, but..it's a tough game.

[Firemans4Horn 18123]

Wow, what a shot. 

[pops 7006]

Not with shots like that

Chasing the GOAT Lee Westwood.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9352]

Jesus. Rahm hitting THE shot when he needed to.

[pops 7006]

I OFFICIALLY REQUEST A HIT ON THAT CUNT BEHIND 16!!  OFFICIALLY! 

[dcar00 14370]

that'll do it.

I could root against Westwood.  I guess he was less offensive than Colin Montgomerie, but still.

Yeah more referring to the never won a major hall of fame. 

[Sgt Hulk 13840]

Damn brooks 

[The Dude 1246]

[WhatTheBuck 28798]

Barring a complete collapse, I suppose that about does it. 

[936horn 919]

Man watching Koepka implode is just glorious 

[Hagbard Celine 10923]

yup, now he just needs to hit the outer markers and stay on the glideslope..... straight on the ones

[Hank_Hill 18895]

Ha, what a choke job by Brooks. Hate to see it.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9352]

Rahm has been a bulldog this weekend. Played holes during the nastiest shit. Good on him for what he's done.

[Dewey 3294]

Koepka showing he's human, guy with the lead after 54 has been unstoppable... Until today. He's ready to go home. 

[Mo Horn 8855]

Brooks will just have to settle for making several million dollars the next few weeks. Fuck him.

[heso 2816]

9 shot swing today.

he did the same thing with Mickelson at the PGA.  his putting always goes at some point. 

[The Dude 1246]

Between Brooksies nose dive and Vernes heavy breathing, this is quite the erotic finish

[ztejas 43538]

Brooks has distracted from how shitty Hovland has been today. (well, not today, but this round)

Fuck brooks for a lot of reasons. But not for taking that bag. One of the honorary starters has Aramco on his sleeve and no one says a word. But I'm still glad he choked.

Looks like you finally got it right

Yeah this may be cooked. 

Him winning would be fun for golf, though. Maybe it will get Rory to quit playing like dogshit at majors.

Hovland is damn near in the driver's seat... 

I think Cantlay is probably a shot or two too far back.

The audio engineer trying to EQ Verne's boogers is the best there is. And it can't be done.

Anyone with 4 majors has no business taking the bag... but hey go for the cash and spend the rest of your career playing exhibiting I guess.

God you're such an annoying dipshit. Go find a stump to bother. I'll put you on ignore for the benefit of the golf threads from here on out.

I don’t care about him leaving for the cash, more about him being a coward, thinking he couldn’t compete. The guys that were over the hill, I get it. You don’t have it anymore and want to take some easy money. Guys like brooks and Bryson, just cowards.

at  Noon today Koepka was looking for his check/jacket and wondering why everyone was still on the putting green.

[dcar00 14370]

can't remember, does the masters do 2nd place finisher at the jacket ceremony?

bennett needs a birdie on 18 to come back next year 

[ztejas 43538]

Wonder if Rahm is the next to 5. Rory probably the heavy favorite still but I'll believe it when I see it. 

Morikawa and JT at 2 each. Scottie with just the 1 but I could see him winning a couple more in short order. Spieth... well... you never know.
