I already hate this song and I get a feeling I'm going to hate it even more 3 days from now.

2-2 on the o/u yesterday, slight loss w/ juice, guess I'll go back for more today. Course was already soft & slow before this latest rain.

Like Fowler U70.5

Henrik is surging again. That dude is unreal and it's shocking that he just won his 1st major. His final round at Troon was probably the best I've ever seen.

How does he move off the ball like that and still hit it so pure? Or does it just look that way?

Damn! Phil just hit one over the road; it may still be rolling down some side street.

Damn Phil. Almost in the creek with 3rd and then almost in some kids playhouse with his 4th. Laying 5 in the rough off that green.

Just looks that way. I have seen him multiple times in person and he has a violent controlled swing and is one of those guys who hits the sweet spot everytime.

So the first African American club pro to make the PGA Championship in 25 years is named Wyatt Worthington II. Did the club make him change it?

Well, we are going to have a good time and not worry about who shoots the better score.
Having never played with you guys this may be off base, but if you're anything like any other golfer I've ever played with or talked to you're going to be miserable almost the entire time playing. When you're done you're going to think "wow that was fun, I can't wait to do that again" or you'll hit a great shot on one of the last few holes to suck you back in.

I occasionally get frustrated but for the most part I'm having a good time during my round, cigars and bourbon seem to help that cause.

The anatomy of a Major Leader board on Sunday is always so fascinating to me. Seems like an entire tournament full of action/movement, in most cases. Throw late Saturday in there too...

Love when they do those flashback snapshots of the board in 30-60 minute increments or whatever. Names pop up (and disappear) out of nowhere.

Good for Jimmy Walker. Seems like a nice guy. He better show up for the Ryder Cup now that he's going to be on the team. J.B. Holmes' chances took a hit this week. He's likely going to be 8th in the standings with 4 weeks of qualifying left to go. Think he'll get a captain's pick, but you never know Davis may want invaluable experience with guys like Kuchar, Furyk and Fowler.

All majors go to first time major winners this year. See you boys in the Ryder Cup thread.
