NFT: PGA Championship Thread-Thursday Round

ryanmkeane : 8/9/2018 8:31 am
Tiger, Rory, and JT going off at 9:23. Extremely hot/muggy in St. Louis and everyone saying the course/greens will play slow. Should be a great couple opening rounds with some of these groups.

eff me, the old man  
section125 : 8/12/2018 5:29 pm : link
is at 13 under...
-13 it is  
UConn4523 : 8/12/2018 5:30 pm : link
he’s got that walk back, haven’t seen it in years. This is really cool to see.
bad miss by koepka there  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 5:33 pm : link
that looked like a straightforward uphill putt.
Adam Scott  
section125 : 8/12/2018 5:34 pm : link
to -13. Putting well today and Koepka misses his birdie. He's one up.

Tiger in the rough. Looked a little tight and one of the few times I've seen him miss with his 2 iron.

Yeah this is great stuff. The guys at the top are cool enough to watch with the shots they're making but when you add Tiger into the mix it raises it several notches IMO.

The crowd is electric and hanging on his every shot.
big par putt for tiger after Koepka misses another makable one  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 5:41 pm : link
Scott now tied for the lead too.
how  
MookGiants : 8/12/2018 5:42 pm : link
the hell did that putt not go in? Brutal. Had no business not falling in
Some real bad luck for Tiger today.  
PhiPsi125 : 8/12/2018 5:43 pm : link
Like i said...you need it to win. He doesn’t have that luck today unfortunately. Still cool to see him at the top in a major.

He’s totally winning another major before he’s done.
Holy Crap.  
section125 : 8/12/2018 5:43 pm : link
Bad break there, thought that was in...

Has to keep his cool and not overreact to that miss.
another close miss on a good putt  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 5:44 pm : link
gonna have to get really hot the rest of the way now. With both Scott/koepka at -14, have to think whoever wins is gonna be -15 at a minimum.

Seriously tough luck on the putts at 1, 11, and now 14, yet he's kept it together and is still in it.

Great tee shot on 15 so he's definitely batting and not caving.
Rough luck on the greens today  
UConn4523 : 8/12/2018 5:49 pm : link
he definitely is playing well enough to win, just not getting the breaks. But getting that birdie back will be big now that the two at the top have to play aggressive to keep pace with each other. Anything can happen.
Ummmm  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 5:51 pm : link
That was an ok shot.
Wow what a shot  
BigBlue4You09 : 8/12/2018 5:51 pm : link
This Is getting fun!
Unbelievable shot by Tiger  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 5:52 pm : link
sets up his drive on 17 to be the biggest shot of the tournament. As good as his irons have been he will probably get a look at birdie on 16 also, but on 17 he has to give himself a chance for eagle.
Wow, one more  
section125 : 8/12/2018 5:52 pm : link
hop... kick in birdie..keep the pressure on.
Wow  
Eman11 : 8/12/2018 5:53 pm : link
He almost dropped that 2nd shot on 15 right in! Just a great, great shot and follow up to that bogie.
Wow, crazy good shot.  
PhiPsi125 : 8/12/2018 5:53 pm : link
Man, if only he didn’t flub the last two holes yesterday. Tiger can still hang’em.
Brooks just hit an incredible 2nd too  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 5:55 pm : link
Inches from greatness or despair.
The '09 PGA  
BlackLight : 8/12/2018 5:55 pm : link
was the first time Tiger ever blew a 54-hole lead. His life fell apart only a few months later.

Would be some nice dramatic symmetry if he finally gets back to summit, winning the PGA, and making this the first time he ever won a major coming from behind on Sunday.

he also missed the first 8 or 9 fairways. Now that his driver is going he has every chance to win this these last few holes.
Brooks can’t make a putt now  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 5:56 pm : link
Pressure is on.
Koepka's last 3 birdie putts haven't really been that close  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 5:58 pm : link
with his driver in play Tiger is playing the best golf right now.

It’s really the difference between vintage Tiger and current Tiger. Vintage Tiger doesn’t make these mistakes. Whereas current Tiger is one of the really good, top golfers that can win any given Sunday in this era of golf. At least, that’s where he’s headed back to.
Too many commercials

Very good 3  
section125 : 8/12/2018 6:07 pm : link
on 16. Stress free tap in..smart play.
Scott and koepka  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 6:08 pm : link
Both with makeable birdies. Tiger needs a birdie on 17.

Yea, smart play. this tee shot will show whether he's truly back or not.

Bad drive.

Did it splash?
Yikes that might be it for Tiger

Bad...the bunkers were the mistake of choice.
damn he had so much good mojo into that shot  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 6:10 pm : link
that's the mistake he never used to make. The putts on the lip happen to everyone, that was a tee shot he really needed.
Ouch  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 6:11 pm : link
Ugly lie for tiger.

Brooks make a birdie. Time running out.
Oh Boy,  
section125 : 8/12/2018 6:12 pm : link
It stayed up. Has a chance..as Koepka gets to 15 under.
Koepka looked more comfortable on that downhill putt  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 6:13 pm : link
than he did on the uphill ones.

Looks like Tiger got a break in that it's playable.
Wow  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 6:14 pm : link
He has a chance, albeit a small one.

Lucky that didn’t dunk.
Even at his peak  
BlackLight : 8/12/2018 6:15 pm : link
the weak spot in Tiger's game was a scattershot driver.
Koepka really turning it on  
Eric on Li : 8/12/2018 6:15 pm : link
another 10 ft putt for birdie.
Brooks with a putt to end tigers chance  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 6:15 pm : link
Great shot by. Brooks
Koepka about to put this away  
BigBlue4You09 : 8/12/2018 6:16 pm : link
Was hoping for a little more drama
Have to take advantage  
section125 : 8/12/2018 6:16 pm : link
of these breaks. Don't get greedy.

Koepka is cool customer. You don't win two US Opens playing scared.
Bunker  
dep026 : 8/12/2018 6:17 pm : link
Too bad. He made it fun.

Yeah, he needed a birdie to get into the Club house at 14 under.
Damn shame  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 8/12/2018 6:20 pm : link
El Tigre isn't winning this. I'll cry myself to sleep.
Koepka - game -  
section125 : 8/12/2018 6:21 pm : link
set - ........
Good run.  
section125 : 8/12/2018 6:23 pm : link
He played better on Sunday and on the back than he has the last few weeks.

Yeah so true.

I gotta say though, Tiger in contention til the 71st hole of a Major wasn't something I expected to see this year.

I'd love to see him birdie 18 and finish on a high note.

Tip of the cap to Koepka. He's played fantastic and didn't crumble.
Made it.  
section125 : 8/12/2018 6:27 pm : link
Not bad. Get a birdie on 18 and put a little pressure on Scott and Koepka.

yup. Honestly even if he eagled 17, Koepka would probably still be in position to win. Tiger didnt lose as much as Koepka won this tournament (barring a blow up).
If agree Eric  
Eman11 : 8/12/2018 6:34 pm : link
I'm sure Tiger will be thinking about those putts on 1, 11, and 14 but it's not like Koepka or Scott were dropping shots and Tiger didn't play well.

He did, but Koepka just played better and didn't just hold on IMO, he went out and won this. (Barring a huge collapse of course)
