I hope Matt at least gets a beer from that hospitality tent

That was crazy.

Day may get his first major tomorrow.

 

[GreveHaller]

That was crazy.

hard to blame him for trying the shot. His lie below the tents was worse. Cant blame him for going for it from there.

I'm glad I didn't forget this was a major. This, to me, is what golf is about. Great shots get rewarded, bad shots can get you in serious trouble. Add to it that creativity can make or break you, and that today has easily been the best all around non final round of major golf this year and I'm still convinced of how great the PGA Championship is.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

It's been fun to watch.

 

[GAVol]

I really like the setup. Very challenging yet fair.

Several years ago, Boo was playing in the Knoxville Nike Tour event at Fox Den. I had never heard of him at that time, and knew nothing about him. I watched him hit balls on the range for several minutes, and made the remark to my brother that "this guy must not be able to putt a lick'" because he hits the ball as pure as anybody I have ever seen.

I started to tell that to Boo, but I was afraid that he might not take it as a compliment. I have seen most every known golf pro over the last 50 years play and practice, and Weekly struck the ball beautifully. The sound, the ball flight, the consistency, etc. and I had never heard of him at the time.

Hope he keeps it together

Day is crushing it.

 

[vol_in_ar]

It's his to win or lose on the back 9

I've been a Jason Day fangirl for years. I deserve this win as much as he does lol

 

[JohnMarxism]

Day has to be the nicest villain to ever play golf.

Just because Day is likely going to beat Spieth, he's nowhere near a villian.

Spieth likely won't win, but that chip from the bunker was flat filthy.

 

[crusse10]

these boats are killing me lol

 

[crusse10]

I'm so happy for him. Glad he finally got it. Talk about being the bridesmaid but never the bride...damn

This is absurd. Who doesn't like Jason Day?

 

[volfanbill]

Pretty freaking special. Great TV. Notice how many players are coming out to congratulate him. He's certainly no villain.

 

[JohnMarxism]

This is absurd. Who doesn't like Jason Day?

My point is that so many want Jordan to win but it was Day that played the best today. I have nothing against Jason.

 

[GAVol]

Great to see Day's time finally come in a major.

You don't have to root against Day to root for Spieth.

Just got back from our annual guys' trip, this time to Pinehurst. It was awesome. The history, the clubhouse, the accommodations, and the courses were all incredible. We had a package deal that included dinner and breakfast, and the food was great. If anyone is interested, try to book a 4 room villa at the Carolina hotel. You will not be disappointed. We used Golfthere.com, and I highly recommend them.

 

[volfanbill]

what courses did you play?

#8, 5, and 4. #2 was closed for maintenance, but we scrubs would have died on that track. 5 and 4 were great, 8 was mediocre, IMO. #1-5 all start at the main clubhouse.
