Geez DeChambeau fell apart on the back 9.

Seemed like a really conservative play by Oosthuizen at the end.

It was really the only play he had. That kikuyu rough is completely unpredictable and even if he got enough of the ball to get it to the green, no way it was going to hold. Laying up took the water out of play and at least gave him a swing at it.

Makes sense when you put it that way.

The only way he could have got it close was if he hit a draw up the right side and chased it on. Far too risky coming out of that rough

Agreed. How wide was the window to run it onto the green up the right side? Maybe 20-30 feet? I saw him initially standing there with a long iron and all I could think was "man, that's going to be expensive when he rinses that".

When you finish 2nd that many times it’s almost worth the risk. I didn’t see him coming remotely close with any iron in his bag though.

Stricker is choking again in a senior major. He led the Regions Tradition by 3 with 8 holes left and lost in a playoff. He led the PGA Championship by a stroke after round 3 then shot 77 in the final round. This week at the Players Championship he led by 8 strokes after the front 9 on Saturday then played the back nine 4 over. He still leads by 4 going to Sunday but dang. He's blowing leads.

Edit: I take it back. He went on to win by 6.

Starting to consistently shoot in the 80s. Today I shot an 85 with a couple of birdies. If I could get the doubles off the card, I could break 80.

One of those doubles was due to trying a hero shot. Had 190 yards and tried to draw a 6 iron around a tree and it ended up going straight. Lesson learned: just take your medicine and don’t try to play a shot that only a pro could pull off.

Must be nice. I’m going to other way, iron play has been stellar lately until Fathers Day weekend. Shanks popped up on hole 7 and I can’t get rid of them, not even on the range.
