There never really was a correlation between strength and distance. Golf is all about technique which is the neat thing about the game.How does a skinny guy like Zalatoris hit the ball as far as he does? 224 yards, didn't catch what iron he used, but back of the green or slightly over. Not much correlation anymore, strength to distance, unless you're DeChambeau..
Kind of like the javelinThere never really was a correlation between strength and distance. Golf is all about technique which is the neat thing about the game.

Googled Zalatoris and says he's 6'2. The height will help when he does everything you said.Same as JT does, their swings and builds are very similar. They use their lower body to generate incredible speed and hit the ball on the dead center of the clubface every time.
This is such a pet peeve of mine. It shouldn't be but there's something just so sanctimonious about it. A modern 3-wood is made out of multiple materials and is just as likely to be more carbon fiber as metal but I've never heard it called a 3-carbon. Additionally, an "iron" hasn't been made out of iron for a very, very long time (if ever) and I've never heard it called a 5-steel or a 3-foam. It's just such a pointless distinction to make.He's on the tee with a 3 metal. . . .
Can you just say 3 wood please? Thank you.

Now, get off my lawn.
CorrectMy little guy just woke up but I think the screen flashed that play will resume at 5:15
I've never been wrongAlso good to see the Xander vs Spieth bet is close.
I officially love to hate this guy. But I do enjoy watching him.DeChambeau's tour around the course today is highly entertaining
It gets lonely on the back nine.Hideki's putter can get yippy in a hurry. This isn't over yet.
I would not be in shock if Matsuyama ended up shooting a 75. He hasn't been in this tourney for most of it until the last 6-7 holes yesterday. Now he's sitting on top, with a chance at history. That pressure is tough. His sleep last night was certainly much different than on Thursday and Friday night.Anyone below Spieth has no chance today. Matsuyama would need to shoot like 75 to even bring Spieth back in it too. Likely the winner will come from the final two groups.
I’m guessing the broadcast is showing it alphabetically which us dumb for the reason you mentioned. The masters app has Xander 2nd.Something I've always wondered--what's the difference between the leaderboard order and the start time order? Is it just however the broadcast wants to order it?
They're showing Matsuyama and Schauffele both teeing off at 2:40, but Schauffele is listed at the bottom of the 4 players tied for second. I would have thought they'd be listed 1-2 if they're in the final pair.
Maybe there isn't a true answer, but it's one of those things I notice that figured someone here might know.
Schauffele was the first of the 7-unders to finish yesterday. First in, last out the next day.Something I've always wondered--what's the difference between the leaderboard order and the start time order? Is it just however the broadcast wants to order it?

First in, last out. So the first guy who finished first(by the clock) will go out last.Something I've always wondered--what's the difference between the leaderboard order and the start time order? Is it just however the broadcast wants to order it?

And Rory (2011) and Speith (2016) both had big leads by the time they reached the 9th hole and they both lost.Five of the biggest comebacks in Masters history. All involved collapses of the third-round leaders, except Hubert Green, who shot even-par in the fourth round and missed a playoff chance by a stroke as Payer shot 64

Simple enough. Appreciate the reply.First in, last out. So the first guy who finished first(by the clock) will go out last.
