PSA: coverage of the U.S. Junior Am semis airing on Peacock at 15:00. One semi-final pits Luke Clanton (who beat CC of NC member and Junior Am favorite Jackson Van Paris in the R16) against Cohen Trilio (who made the semis of the '19 U.S. Am), while the other semis is Luke Potter vs Nicholas Dunlap (the 2021 Dustin Johnson Junior World Championship winner).
Randomly watched 2 or 3 holes of Matt Wolff on the coverage yesterday. He seemed to be hitting it all over the planet. So today I looked to see where he was...started from the bottom up and expected to see him a few over. Nope 69-69 (-4).
Guys are pretty good.
Everyone's favorite punching bag Grayson Murray trunk slammed after a dub on his first hole this morning. Not sure if injured.
#17 downwind? Look at the flag again, it's obviously in from the right. it blew the ball about 3 yards left just while the camera was on it. And if it were downwind the ball would never have reacted that way when it hit the green.
It might play downwind in October during a Santa Ana. It almost never plays downwind otherwise.

Coming down to the wire in the Dunlap match (AS thru #13). They said Dunlap Monday qualified for a KF event earlier this year and led the field in driving distance.

Reason: AS thru #13, not #14
I left myself 238 yards. A little wind was coming up, it was in my face. Uphill, to that green, over a bunker. And I don't know what possessed me but I said, "aw, 1 iron." Anyway, it was probably the best 1 iron I ever hit.
I believe this is a later model. The original 1 iron is in the USGA museum.
A "1" on the sole of an iron looks so cool. I recall with the Hogan 1 irons, the "1" was oversized but fit perfectly on the sole.
Faldo tells the story of going to Scotland in 1973 to watch the Open, and being mesmerized watching Nicklaus and Weiskopf hitting sky high 1 irons on the range.
I found this article interesting. Bubba played a 6100 yard public course to see how low he could go. Funny line is when he asks someone in his group how strong the wind is and the guy replies that it's adding about a yard. Bubba says "a yard? that's not a thing"
