And, a damn tough miniature golf course it was. Sounds tough. When I was a kid and we wnet to Hilton Head and they had a great minature golf coarse. they actually had a par 5 on that course. It was back in a jungle and it was really tough coarse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable His -3 will be the lead after today. I'm 50/50 on Bryson. Wish he would pick the pace up a bit and a course like this can bite you very, very fast if he keeps the aggressive lines up. Rory had the lead after 1 and has gone bogey, bogey, double, bogey, par, bogey since. Has given 6 shots back in about 90 minutes. Can happen that quick with the guys who insist on hitting driver all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Reed with the lead at -4. 50 putts in 2 days at this place? Phenomenal short game by Reed. Probably a bit underrated in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Azinger mentioned this during broadcast but some of these guys become so analytical it causes their brain to freeze and forget how good they really are. I don't know if he needs to see a sports psychologist or just forget everything and just grip/rip. We've seen it before with Duval, Anthony Kim and others but man it's tough to watch.

I'm glad that you mentioned Duval. He is the guy that I think of when looking at Spieth's fall/slump. I believe that Duval had some injuries, but the mental part of his game surely suffered as well. I think it was Azinger (or one of the Golf Channel analysts) who said that Spieth needs to get away by himself and work on his game alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Really looking forward to seeing what Wolff and DeChambeau do today at Winged Foot. Huge pressure on them both. Can they survive continuing to play from the rough?? Will Rory make a run? Or will Oosthuizen quietly sneak up and win a second major? 😁 And there's Schauffele too. I wouldn't be surprised to see him shoot low and win today. One really interesting point being talked about....who benefits and suffers from the lack of fans. The young guys, rookies have to benefit in a major surely versus the established stars. Edited September 20, 2020 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if Wolff bogeys a few early a few more enter the party. Really wish the US Open folks would follow Augusta National's lead and moved these tee times up. I'll keep an eye on leaderboard but will be watching NFL today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He benefits from the lack of a crowd, I believe. Edited September 20, 2020 by jv1972iu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) DeChambeau puts some pressure on Wolff with eagle at #9...and Wolff answers with his own eagle. Schauffele and English at even par through #11. Going to be interesting back nine. Edited September 20, 2020 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) DeChambeau is the only player under par out on the course. No one else has shot better than par so far today. With four holes to play and a four shot lead, he's in complete control of the tournament. Edited September 20, 2020 by jv1972iu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the golf experts was on 1070 a couple of weeks ago and JMV asked about Spieth and that was his response. He also said that happens with many of the guys once they reach the top. He thought that was part of the reason that Tiger was so good because he spent more time working on his game after he reached the top just to stay there. Nothing that I know just repeating what was said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the few times that Spieth was shown during the first two rounds of the US Open he was, of course, struggling... and the visual dejection he showed was really striking. He just seems to have lost his game...what made him successful. Which sounds like what you heard.

Seeking6 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Take a stab here for this. Any of you guys play Sandy Pines up in Demotte before? What type of track is it. Trying to meet some friends halfway for us...me from Indy them from Chicago next week and was curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he was playing well, he had different mannerisms and different things he'd do that would keep himself in check. Things like sometimes looking at the hole on putts. I always thought he seemed like a mental time bomb waiting to go off. I think hitting 2 in the drink at the Masters a couple years ago was the tipping point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 In more local news (well, local for me), my boys team is 20-3 this year. We have some end of the year tournaments coming up, so it will be interesting to see how we do. Hoping to bring home some hardware this year. I get to go on our local radio station next week to talk about our team, so I'm pretty excited about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple that could probably play at a small JuCo, but I don't think any of them will end up doing it. Nobody great, but just solid all around. Our lowest 9 hole average is a 41.5, but we just have really good depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with you... especially his Masters moment. While he managed to win The Open later, the loss of that Masters was the starting point of his downfall.
