Scottie says he hits a stock 5 iron 205 yards.  yesterday, he hit a full 5 iron about 155 yards. this wind ain't no joke.  this is the way golf was meant to be on a links course.

Scottie in at -2.  bogeyed 18, which sucked, but he is in the mix.  but Lowry looks so comfortable on this course, he's gonna need a mini collapse to bring guys back in.

Yesterday they showed a 145 yard approach which was playing 190 into the fan. I think the wind is worse today.

Niemann stepped up to the Postage Stamp at one under.  he made an 8. hit his gap wedge tee shot into a bunker. hit his second into a different bunker.  left his third in that bunker.  fourth to a different bunker (his third different bunker on the hole). played sideways for his fifth.  3 putted for 8.

The group of Rory, Max, and Tyrell may not have anyone make it to the weekend.  

Same with the group of Aberg, Dechambeau, Tom Kim.

Only Harman out of his group of Theegala and Hovland will make the cut.

Bob MacIntyre was +1 after Rd 1.
Rd-2 start was +8 after four holes (two triple bogeys). Bob then Birdies 4 of the next 14 for a total of +4 = 75.

Hell of a comeback round!

Hook’em!!!

UT golfer Tommy Morrison is +7.  cut is +6.  he's on the par 5 16th.  just left his second a little short of the green, so he's chipping for eagle.  if he can make a birdie and then par 17 and 18, he'll make the cut.

Peacock has the coverage.

You never know. If conditions are really bad for the late players tomorrow then somebody could come up from way in the back and win.

Morrison birdied 16, made a clutch 8 foot par putt on 17, and then knocked it stiff on 18.  he missed his 5 foot birdie putt, but he made the cut at +6.

Good for Woods.

I've had one interaction with Montgomerie and he was a dick.

It was at Oakmont in 1994 and I was tasked with driving players around and I introduced myself to him and he was pissed that I didn't know who he was.

he’s a huge dick

You couldn’t recognize an elite athlete when you see one? (picture is from the ‘94 US Open)

Well he did play college golf at Houston Baptist. Some may have to “Google” where their campus is located.

I think he thought as a young golfer that he was playing for UH, but I digress. He did play during a timeframe that UH golf was a dominant figure in the collegiate game.

Just came here to post about Morrison.

Didnt realize he was in the tournament until perusing tee times for tomorrow.

2 back of the low am going in to the weekend

Last time I saw him was at the NCAAs last year in Scottsdale. Followed him for a couple of holes until he walked up to the tee box where an Oregon player was lying on his back with his foot elevated after impaling it with a tee. So I hopped over a few more holes and followed Aberg around a while /csb

  Quote

Survived a three-man three-hole aggregate play-off in Denmark on June 29 to become the first American winner of the European Amateur Championship.

The 6ft 9in Morrison tied with compatriot Preston Summerhays and Ireland’s Max Kennedy on nine-under-par and that sent them back onto The Scandinavian course after German Tim Wiedemeyer, one ahead with one to play following four successive birdies, finished with a quadruple-bogey nine.

Morrison had himself taken a six at the 18th, three-putting from only four feet, but on his return to the hole his birdie gave him the title and a place at Royal Troon.

The University of Texas player, who went into the event 38th on the World Amateur Golf Ranking, had reached the last 16 of the Amateur Championship a week earlier just as he did last year.

He was also a quarter-finalist in the US Junior championship in 2023.

I’m already locked in!  Wind change for today, now the front is playing way easier than the back. Some good early scores so far.

I really like Lowry but I wouldn’t mind the wind cranking up 15 mph more as he steps onto the first tee here in a couple of hours.

JT is 5 under through 8. 

We may have a nice little Moving Day.

Early "games" today likely having a huge advantage with rain/wind coming in later.

Leaders playing late will likely drop back to more of the field, which might allow 20 or so players a shot to win on Sunday.

I want to give a shit, but Good Lord the leader board is boring.  Why can't Justin stop making bad commercials and make a comeback instead?
