Eventually, you have to believe, he'll be able to break through, to Saturdays.

Not wanting to add weight to the bag is not an excuse.

I don't have sound, so I'm wondering if maybe they just didn't feel the need to put the rain gear on?
Thanks for the insight!

Man, Speef with 4 straight birdies and then ends with two bogeys to miss the cut by 1. That can’t feel good.

Poulter played no. 8 like I play one hole every round...just a big blow up, for no reason.

Or just have to do a sectional like this guy did in England. Point is that the same guy can easily get off on the wrong foot and post a high-80s or 90 round. I'm just surprised it hasn't happened more often in the US Open.

Not my argument tho so i am out.
That's what I'm saying, a 1.2 on his home course is not going to qualify. It's that simple.

Rough numbers here, a 1.2 is going to average around 3 over per round on his home course which he knows like the back of his hand. Then he would have to go out and shoot 2-4 under or so on a very difficult course, that's 5-7 shots better than his norm under tournament conditions where the course is probably 4-5 shots harder than what he's used to. Then he's going to have to do better than that playing 36 holes on the same day on an even tougher course.

So what would the odds be on a player shooting at least 8 shots better than average 3 rounds in a row?

I've seen scratch players on their home course shoot in the 90's many times in a local qualifier, including a guy I was paired with this year. It's a huge difference.

Mind boggling stuff from Phil. We have all lost our minds on the golf course before but seeing one of the top golfers of really Tiger's generation and this one snap like that is something else.

While I think that was awesome, seems like way too lenient of a penalty. Can't believe that's not an automatic DQ if you do it on purpose like that.
