Has DeChambeau ever played Merion? I would think it would either be spectacularly awesome or spectacularly bad and awesome to watch.

He was not making the cut, anyway, but a part of me hates that Y.E. Yang was disqualified from the tournament for incorrectly signing his scorecard (his signed for a 4 instead of a 5 on one hole).

Now, I get that it's the player's responsibility to ensure the tally is correct, but anybody at any time knows what the golfer's score is with modern technology. I'd rather see a penalty or a fine over an outright disqualification.

What a waste of a 1st round pick...

Golf is back in Ontario starting Saturday! Next to impossible to get tee times, best we could do was Sunday afternoon in Niagara.

And down here for weekend, we can go out as singles only !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rory with 5 bogeys on the par 5's so far this tourney.

Hard to score well when that is happening.

Sorry, what's that? My other 3 drafted guys have worse scores?

Sigh....

[Captain Dave Poulin]

He is SUCH a tool.

 

[VladDrag]

I don’t care what ppl think, I am buying this shirt

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

3 guys in the top 12 and 1 missed cut.

Good start, but I'm sure moving day will throw a wrench in that.

This sounds wonderful, honestly.

I used to hate playing on my own, but I have come to enjoy it in recent years.

I don't know whose idea this draft was, but it was a terrible idea.

 

[trostol]

Horschel made the cut with a +5.

Your other three missed the cut.

 

[Cody Webster]

Two guys at +2...two guys MC

Let's go Phil!

No one uses a 1-iron that I'm aware of. Lots of guys stop at 4i. Players bags are typically made up like

1) Driver
2) 3-Wood
3) One of:5-wood, 7-wood or driving iron (18*)
4-9) Irons (4-9)
10-13) Wedges (PW, GW, SW, LB)
14) Putter

Some guys drop one of the wedges and play with a 3i, but most do not.

Its all kind of moot anyways because iron lofts have been so strengthened in the last 15-20 years that most 4i are the same or even slightly stronger the 3i were back in the day. Guys that carry a 3i are effected carrying a 2i.

Phil throwing darts right now

Depends on the set you are playing.If you’re playing muscle backs or cavity backs, like most of these pros are, you have traditional lofts.

I have a set of Nike VR pro combos (from 2012) and they are traditional lofts. The 3i is 21 degrees. The TM P7MB 3i is the same loft and the P7MC’s are 20. So only 1 degree stronger.

the player distance irons and the irons meant for high handicappers are the ones that have beefed up lofts.
