funny that round 1 very few ok scores. round 2 alot more but still tons of players over 80 in round 2 too. an excellent local player was 170 for 2 rounds
must have been a morning-afternoon split to the scoring each day. and then not sure but i think there were delays so maybe some players lucked out with mostly good condtions and some others got mostly bad conditions.
JT with a solid 59. Spieth may be right that last weeks win opened the floodgates. Apparently started on the back 9 as well so nothing like an eagle finish to go out in style. Wouldn't be surprised if he lead the tour in wins this year
i see JT is 5 better than the field and it looks like it will take an afternoon player to cut into that lead. usually afternoon scores are a little higher though.
i remember asking when graeme delaet bested the field by 5 strokes one round if that was the most ever.
i saw recently that al geiberger's 59 (memphis??) was 6 strokes better than field.
i would be shocked if anyone has done 7 strokes better on pga tour.
36 hole scoring record for Justin Thomas. Pretty cool record to have. Anyone know how often that record is broken? My first thought is it would be pretty rare but idk.
is there a cut in palm springs? i didn't notice one of the pgatour.com leaderboard. i presume there is.... also, is it still a pro-am? and looks like only one course now?
3 courses, so cut after 3 rounds. And yes it is still a proam, but each pro only has one partner. Back in the Bob Hope days, you would see one pro and a group of 3 or 4 ams. They always show highlights of 90 year old Bob Hope playing with presidents 38, 41, and 42 and a pro.
A good trivia question: Name the pro golfer who completed the fivesome.
