Will delete if being discussed elsewhere but don't see any threads. Anyone else watching? Harding Park looks really cool. I love when Majors are at courses the public can play.
Where are you watching it?

You will get most of it live on saturday and sunday, tomorrow all of the big names live on tv
they have a mic pointed at Tiger and Rory right now  
markky : 8/6/2020 2:44 pm : link
Tiger telling Rory about two of the Raiders superbowl victories. I wish Tiger's caddy would join in this conversation.

Also said that the MLB is hanging on right now but if they have another outbreak he thinks they're done.
ESPN and FOX can go

snapped his driver shaft. Hit the ball and went to pick up his tee and it snapped in the hosel. He can replace it since he didn't purposely snap it. Has a spare one in his car and his coach will retrieve it.

Problem with graphite shafts is the slowly start to delaminate - especially when you swing at 130 mph...

Is right there, this is a good coarse for him, patience is needed, acurate drives, he is the guy who seems to step up for the majors now, got to pull for him, he is just rounding into form.
Koepka will aways be around in the majors

Why was this not on for a full day? Surely the tv programmers  
LBH15 : 8/7/2020 8:28 am : link
could have figured how to put Tiger, Rory and Justin Thomas on for their full 18 holes. A mistake.

Good course, played it years ago on a trip to San Fran. The fog rolled in and there were some holes you actually couldn’t see the ball land.

Holes 8 and 9 are really tough.

Show every tournament. Show play before the nationals start, and then after the nationals go to 60 minutes.

The feud had been going on for a while now. It started out because Bryson takes so damb long to play and Keokpa likes to play quickly.

I think it was two years ago when Keokpa said when playing with Bryson they play the first two holes at Brysons speed , with Keopka taking his time too, so they are put on the clock. Then they play 16 at a fast pace.

Apparently Bryson likes to do a bunch of math before hitting his shot.

That is funny. Hope they continue to it as the tour  
LBH15 : 8/7/2020 1:13 pm : link
needs a little edge.

I like the ant comment.
this 2nd round  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 8/7/2020 2:04 pm : link
is probably the most excited I've been for a sporting event since... I don't know, maybe the Lakers/Clippers Sunday primetime matchup from March?

Hopefully Tiger has a really good round to get to the top of the leaderboard.

I know Justin Thomas is the #1 ranked player in the world, but nobody really believes that to be true when Koepka is clearly the guy to beat at Majors.

this final round is nuts

pulling away with an eagle on 16 to go up 2.
that kid...  
Kev in Cali : 8/9/2020 9:05 pm : link
has a really bright future in this game!!!! He nailed the finish too!
Morikawa’s drive on 16 was a shot  
Section331 : 8/9/2020 9:08 pm : link
for the ages. The kid is really impressive.
Collin Morikawa California boy makes good  
Torrag : 8/10/2020 12:02 am : link
USA! USA! USA!

I thought he might be feeling the pressure when he made the unforced error wedge approach on 14...then he promptly pitched in for birdie and sole possession of the lead. Then the driveable par 4 16th for the ages finished with the 8ft Eagle putt.

Congrats to the young man.
I am totally surprised so few  
section125 : 8/10/2020 6:32 am : link
of the guys actually could not do what Morikawa did on 16. 294 for these guys is not really that far. A lot of them that is a 3 wood. Perhaps because it was a slight dogleg right they could not cut it in as most hit draws. It would have been a perfect cut 3 wood for Koepka.
Anyway, that is twice that Morikawa was under pressure and he stood up to it(Muirfield beating JT in the playoff).

That kid is the real deal.
i really like Collin Morikawa  
cjac : 8/10/2020 8:25 am : link
He's a nice kid and not flashy at all, reminds me of Spieth. I think he's going to be good for the game.

The TaylorMade tour truck guys say Collin is the closes thing to Tiger Woods that they have seen. The way he thinks about the game, practices, selects his equipment and sees shots is almost surgical.

Nobody will be the next Tiger Woods. Never. But, Morikawa has a game that is just different than others and it will be fun to see him progress.

FYI this was CBS, not ESPN. ESPN was in charge of the early morning/early afternoon coverage - CBS it over in later afternoons and evenings.

CBS productions is awful. If you watched the ESPN+ coverage and the ESPN early afternoon coverage on Thursday and Friday it was apparent.

SVP was incredible and the production was wonderful - lots and lots of golf with no fluff.

As soon as the production was turned over to CBS (even though it remained on the ESPN channel thursday and friday later afternoon/evening) the drop in production quality was blatantly obvious
