Today is the scoring day. They've put a bunch of front pins out here on a soft course.

Tomorrow is going to be a massacre if they don't get any rain. If the greens dry out they are borderline dead, and it's going to be like trying to stop the ball on a cart path.

11 guys are under par for their rounds today as the morning session is wrapping up.

This is one of the things that's kind of a pain in the ass about tournament golf.

It's actually better to hit a really bad tee shot than even a mediocre one that ends up 4-5 yards off the fairway.

Coogs 06-17-2011 10:53 AM

What could be the biggest shot of the tournament could be comming up shortly for McElroy. Lots of trouble around this green.

I was listening to some post first round analysis yesterday, and someone said that as long as McElroy is putting consistently, he's good.

But if he misses a couple of putts, his entire game goes south.

Any thoughts on that?

His putting has been criticized as overly mechanical in the past, and he hasn't proven to be a lethal closer, but his meltdown at Augusta started with a bad tee shot. However, once that happened, he took 7 putts total on 11 and 12, and was 7 feet away from the hole on 11 and 20 on 12.

Given the fact that he's a fast player, I'd be most concerned with his tempo getting too fast, causing that miss left.

Bad break for Mickelson.

'Hamas' Jenkins 06-17-2011 10:54 AM

That's a bad break for Phil, but it was also too aggressive of a line.

And Rory's now in trouble, too.

KC_Connection 06-17-2011 10:55 AM

Well that wasn't a good finish.

'Hamas' Jenkins 06-17-2011 10:55 AM

The non-Phil play is to leave yourself 40 yards short and right with the fat part of the green to work with to give yourself a shot to get up and in.

'Hamas' Jenkins 06-17-2011 10:59 AM

That's a horrible break for McIlroy, but he's a ****ing dumbass for not putting spin on it as he dropped it.

'Hamas' Jenkins 06-17-2011 11:03 AM

This Judy Kratzert woman is a complete moron. It's always much, much easier to hit a chip where the ball is above your feet than below. Her lines and judgment of these shots has been atrocious.

KC_Connection 06-17-2011 11:05 AM

And there's a double. Still a ridiculous lead, though.

Coogs 06-17-2011 11:05 AM

Guess I had better learn how to spell his name. McIlroy instead of McElroy. :shrug:

I was getting frustrated with her, too.

I hope you all don't stop watching just because McIlroy is done. Watching all of these other guys struggle immensely on this course shows you just how unbelievably he's played.

However, I think it will be interesting to see how he handles waiting about 30 hours with that double bogey in his craw.
