It's like 55 here and pouring. I'm freezing my balls off.

Would not want to be at the course today.

Is it still on rain delay?

Everyone out there wearing stocking caps, long sleeves. LMAO

It's like 49° at the course, which is a little elevated compared to Phoenix, raining, and the wind is blowing 20mph.

We might be babies down here, but that's not a pleasant combination no matter where you are.

Oh, I fully understand it. I can't really make fun - it's like 62 here today but the wind is blowing like 25 so it feels cold.

Back to back PGA events screwed by weather.

This weeks Phoenix Open, the craziest event in golf, is playing catch-up after rain delays and several frost delays. Cold as hell this week in Scottsdale. Flagstaff up north got pummeled with a lot of snow and snow on many mountain peaks around Scottsdale.

The players are so slow these days it's hard to get back on track.

Doing threesomes to finish 3rd round and did a shotgun start to speed things up as much as possible.

Should have good chance to finish late today.

I couldn't believe Scheffler missed that 5 footer on 18 to force a playoff.

Nice to see another first time winner in Jaeger. Very humble guy.

Those greens were tough.

Before today's final round, players were (-56) in total on front nine and an astounding +238 on back nine. I've never seen such a disparity in my life.

Apparently the course they were playing is a public course that anyone can play ran by the city of Houston.

Was rooting for Toasty or Tosti. Very powerful swing but he choked hard down the stretch.

Is Tosti the guy who yanked a short iron from the fairway into the bunker left of the green? He was spitting mad to his sand shot. Then he proceeded to fluff it out of the bunker leaving a long 15 foot putt for par? That guy swings hard though!

By the way BWillie where has you boy Bry Dechamblow? Haven't heard from him?

Nelly Korda wins her third start in a row. :clap:

Well yeah I didn't say he is a great player for a PGA Tour Pro but he's fun to watch. He's 5'6'' and hits the piss out of it. I like watching power and ball strikers not pieces of shit like Patrick Reed.

Bryson is in the LIV Tour now which I don't really follow much so couldn't tell you.

You guys want to finish the round? I’m good to go.. lol

That's crazy. I've never played Paynes Valley though I have played a some of the courses in that area. For $300.00 a round I wouldn't like seeing all that dirt and gravel I see in that video. Branson Hills which used to be called Payne Stewart is probably the best deal for the money.

Played Payne's Valley & Branson Hills. Enjoyed both, but Branson Hills was definitely not as expensive.

I've played Buffalo Ridge Springs and Ozark National and neither is as expensive as Paynes Valley which I think they built on what was John Daly's Murder Rock location. I never played that one either. There's some good golf to be had in that area for sure. Living in Springfield it's just short jaunt down 65 HWY so I've played Branson Hills and Buffalo Ridge several times.

LMAO love that dude! He speaks what's on his mind with no candy coating!

Probably get some crazy distance with your driver when you have 300 mph wind at your back.

I always win. I got 3pars today and still won...

Jim Furyk avg drive is only 249 yards now at age 54. I guess not a swing that ages well for distance.

Anyone have a PGA Championship stream for this morning before it comes on regular cable? I refuse to ever subscribe to ESPN+ for eternity.

ESPN+ is all I'm seeing.

Do you see these 22-30 year old guys hitting the ball 310-325 on a fly and having 340-360 yard drives? :eek:

That's ****ing insane.

Their club speed is through the roof.

No 45+ year old guy can do that. :shake:

ALL athletes are freaks of nature these days. The golfers of the 70's, 80's and 90's never even lifted a weight. The guys these days are physical specimens, with a few outliers of course.

Shauffele shoots 62 and ties the low round in a major. :clap:

Jack Nicklaus used a persimmon driver and a wound balata ball and hit one 341 in 1961 at the Long Drive at the PGA. The athletes are better, yes, but it's mostly the equipment. Give current players in baseball shaved aluminum bats and see what would happen.

That's why I don't understand the furor over rolling the ball back. Does anyone's beer league team use wood bats?

Yeah, it's probably correct that in golf the advances in equipment are more responsible than the players being stronger/more fit. Baseball and football are the two sports where I think the quality of athlete has changed immensely compared to the previous eras.

amazing

Maybe not but his distance has really deteriorated compared to golfers of his same age. I'm not comparing him to PGA Tour guys but Champion Tour guys.

Man Valhalla sure is a pretty golf course.

The major manufacturers will only make conforming balls, the USGA ruled against bifurcation, which is ridiculous. This would be forcing your beer league to use wood bats.

My balls have always been conforming, even before those fancy ball sack underwear

Looks like Scheffler got there just in time to get a quick warm up in before teeing off in about 30 minutes. Watch him throw up a 64 today.

Scottie fresh outta the slab and Rory going through a divorce looking for some strange. Might see a course record this weekend.

"Just tee it up."

I'm pretty sure the arresting officer is James Earl Jones. Fox4KC posted a tweet from a cell phone the cop waving away lookie loo's is a dead ringer for Mr Jones.

This is one of the craziest things in golf.....

I think Titanium Tiger is done. Once the Dr's stick that shit in your body (I've had it in my neck since October of 2022) muscles just don't function properly any more

This is some of the best played golf I have ever seen.

Guys are holing out from all over: fairways, rough, bunkers, nearly a bunch of hole in ones, couple of close albatrosses on the par 5's.

They are hitting bombs straight down the fairway.

Sinking so many long putts too.

What a shot from the rough by Justin Thomas

This course is playing too easy for a major.

All the rain and wet conditions have made it target practice.

So far there have been 54 hole-outs!

Another ****ing hole out on a chip!

This time from DeChambeau on 18.

from out of nowhere to 2nd

that was a good third round.

Tomorrow should be fun.

If you want to get pumped up for golf, just spend some time watching @itsgracecharis on Instagram. A little bit different content from Paige, and it's hard to stop watching.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Justin Thomas holes out for birdie on 3

Looks like her and Paige are having a battle of wits. I mean tits......:D

Tosti drives 336 yard island green

https://twitter.com/TheShotgunStart/...=about%3Ablank

From earlier suprised no one mentioned it

They showed that highlight. Awesome! Glad he eagled and not miss the putt.

Schauffele and Morikowa are 3 holes behind! What the ****???

FU Dechambeau - you're gonna lose anyway

Holy shit, the charisma vacuum actually got it done and won….

Glad to see one of the truly good guys on tour win.

And beat Doucheambeau doing it.

Yeah, golf is way better with DeChambeau in contention like this. Hope it continues.

Always felt like a matter of time for Xander, he was way too talented not to have won one of these.

DeChambeau was an absolute luck box the last 19 holes. Schauffle was far better this week, and a deserving champion.

That's cool. It's so weird to me how adults like that are that way. Let the kid have a memory. WTF is a grown ass man gonna do with a golf ball? Sell it on eBay? Brag to his lame friends that another man tossed him a little ball? Look, I think it's different if you get hit by a ball and the guy gives you the ball or a glove or something, but that was weak. Good on BDC for making it right.

Hard to tell the accuracy of the toss. If it was so important to Doucheshambo then walk it up and hand it to the kid.

While everyone was focused on the PGA Championship, Nelly Korda won ANOTHER event.

Her 6th win in 7 starts.

She is beyond Caitlin Clark territory.

I remember Annika getting a lot more media run, so I am not sure why Korda isn't getting hyped TF up all the time.

It is peculiar given that she's a personable, attractive, 5'10 blonde.

Yes she did. As good as Nancy or Annika but it is weird how they gush over anyone who is Asian or even just not an American.

Great swing.
