So would it be better to be Day, and have to go right back out after shooting a shitty score, or McIlroy who has to sit on his shitty score for 24 hours, but also can get some work in?
I was just thinking the same thing. I feel like giving yourself some time to cool off and recalibrate would be better as opposed to going right back out there.So would it be better to be Day, and have to go right back out after shooting a shitty score, or McIlroy who has to sit on his shitty score for 24 hours, but also can get some work in?
Yes but he only has 2 nights to sleep on his first round now. He's reduced his exposure by a third.He's always dangerous on Thursday and Friday.
Rory might also get the benefit of better conditions.So would it be better to be Day, and have to go right back out after shooting a shitty score, or McIlroy who has to sit on his shitty score for 24 hours, but also can get some work in?
That seems extremely unlikely. It's going to be fast and firm tomorrow. Guys playing twice today are looking at incremental changes between their first and second rounds. Rory will be playing an entirely different course.Rory might also get the benefit of better conditions.
It's like they are treating Round 2 as if it's the final round and just focusing on the leaders.Great coverage from Fox. 5 minutes watching DJ wait for the green to clear.
Yes, in two days, they've showed shots from about 20 players total.It's like they are treating Round 2 as if it's the final round and just focusing on the leaders.
The course is playing easier now than it has at any point in the last two days. There are about 20 players under par in Round 2, with about another 20 more at even.These greens are totally different than yesterday and this morning. Three putts about to commence.
They just did it the standard reverse tee time way. He went out early in round 1, which means he goes out late in round 2, which means tomorrow.I basically haven't had a chance to watch any of the coverage until now, and I'm having trouble figuring out what they did after the delay. Rob was at +1, and he was in the 18th fairway (the 9th hole) when play ended yesterday. So, they had him come out today, and finish the last half of the 18th hole (which he bogeyed), and now he has to wait until tomorrow at 7:22 a.m. to play his second round. I thought he would have had an early tee time today without the weather issues yesterday, so why didn't he go out and play his second round today? I'm confused by the whole thing.
Doesn't the second round go in the reverse order to the first, so if you have an early first round you have a late second round and vice versa?I basically haven't had a chance to watch any of the coverage until now, and I'm having trouble figuring out what they did after the delay.

Ok, that's what I had wrong. I thought he was late/early, not early/late. I keep forgetting that some guys literally didn't even play yesterday.They just did it the standard reverse tee time way. He went out early in round 1, which means he goes out late in round 2, which means tomorrow.
How do you mean?What the hell happened to Holly Sonders?
My point is the greens are faster for today's round two than they were for today's completion of round one. Course could be playing easier since its dry, but the greens are faster.There are 20 players under par IN ROUND TWO. That's about twice as many as at any point during round one. The course is undeniably playing easier right now.
Yes, of course. The greens are faster and getting faster. But overall the course is playing easier. There is zero wind, it's playing shorter, and on holes like 17, pretty much everyone has the chance to go for the green.My point is the greens are faster for today's round two than they were for today's completion of round one.

Yes, and those guys who didn't play yesterday played two rounds today. That's a tough break if you're playing poorly(Jason Day, for example) but obviously an advantage if you're rolling.(DJ) Nothing they could really do differently, though, if they want to keep to the schedule.Ok, that's what I had wrong.

Got it. I was talking about the greens. Watching and working at the same time I wasn't getting the full picture. I caught the repeated info about the speed.Yes, of course. The greens are faster and getting faster. But overall the course is playing easier. There is zero wind, it's playing shorter, and on holes like 17, pretty much everyone has the chance to go for the green.
How do you mean?
This is what I meant. She looks like a Barbie doll.Botox...
He likes adding geometric shapes to his score card, appaprently.Crazy round for Justin Thomas. Through 17 holes, he has 6 pars, 7 birdies(including 3 hole outs), 2 bogeys and 2 doubles. -1 for the day.
I've particularly enjoyed the split screen dual tracker, where they show the behind-tee box perspective on the left, and the hole-layout perspective on the right.but they do a solid job with the shot tracking/graphics stuff off the tee.
He had to sit around for like 38 hours sitting on a lead in the US Open. That's tough for a nobody. Also, this open has been very weird thus far but by this afternoon, it'll be normal.It was nice knowing you Andrew Landry
Lol boo hoo. Provided he doesn't have a serious injury, he's an entitled dick. He gets to play the best courses in the world, for millions of dollars, and he can't wake up early to finish his round? Yeah, he wasn't making the cut but it still doesn't excuse it.WD for Stenson, citing a not-making-the-cut-so-don't-want-to-get-up-early-to-play-a couple-meaningless-holes flu.
