It might happen, but right now guys who are playing well are destroying this courseThis is a nightmare. If Fleetwood gets another one and gets in at +1, if the winds pick up, and the greens bake some more, there might be 1 guy out there that doesn't shoot himself out of contention halfway through the back 9. Worst possible outcome is Fleetwood gets in, and everyone else falls apart, and the whole thing is over with a bunch of holes left to play.
I’m beginning to think the whole “afternoon winds” story is being overplayed. It’s 3:30, and unless they see a massive uptick in winds really soon, I don’t think it’s going to make the kind of difference people were thinking.This is a nightmare.

Yeah, I think Open pressure may build up and become a bigger issue than the wind, or baked green. It would be funny if after all the hand wringing yesterday the Open scoring record gets broken today (Fleetwood may not break it, but Reed has it in sight as well)I’m beginning to think the whole “afternoon winds” story is being overplayed.

Th big thing is that the pins are much easier today.
This time yesterday is when the winds picked up. We’ll see if it happens again.I’m beginning to think the whole “afternoon winds” story is being overplayed.

Edit: missed it by *that much*.
Well, that's not going to be an issue, yet.That tee shot but Brooks was ridiculous. He'll be even again and really, really, really hope he doesn't run away with it for the 2nd consecutive year.
Ded.So Fleetwood hits this, I'm betting my life on it.
MY LIFE.
RIP.So Fleetwood hits this, I'm betting my life on it.
MY LIFE.
I was thinking the same thing. He looks like a guy who runs a ranch in Montana.Obviously I know Fleetwood is English, but the voice doesn't match the look. He really looks like he should sound like someone in the pit at a NASCAR event
You would think with only 3 people to cover, with maybe a couple of Berger/Finau shots to throw in as a dead time killer, you think they would be able to show every shot from the 3 peopleThey are missing a ton of Reed's shots. All of a sudden, he's on the green, putting for birdie, one shot off the lead.
Horrendous tee shot. Huge mistake for Mr. Reed.Reed with just an AWFUL shot on 11, can't blame wind or course on that
He now prefers it the former way.They are missing a ton of Reed's shots. All of a sudden, he's on the green, putting for birdie, one shot off the lead.
And Finau celebrates with 2 straight miserable shots after a perfect drive on 10Well it is the back 9 and Tony Finau is now relevant. I don't anyone would have thought that after the 4th hole
