Can't stand spieth . Kuchar is fun to watch his swing sometimes looks like a hack yet he is so consistent. Rory played great this week after all the negative press he got going into the tournament. Phil should hang it up and move on to the champions tour

I like Spieth. Incredible golfer he is at such a young age. To save bogey & then almost ace next hole. Going -5 after that hole is almost impossible for any golfer to do. I like Kucher & feel bad for him but he got beat by a better golfer. As for Phil. He is my golfer. I would love for him to win the U.S Open then hang it up. For him to not go this year & instead go to his daughter graduation shows where his values are at. That is why he will always be my golfer!

Yeah I wasn't saying Phil is a bad golfer or anything , it's just his time to go. WAY too much young talent for him to be competitive week in and week out.

When he's been hot, Spieth has been absolutely amazing and about as good as anyone since Tiger and Nicklaus, especially with his long putts. I've been watching golf for decades and can't recall seeing a turnaround in a major final round quite like today's from that horrible 13th drive to saving bogey and then going -5 on the subsequent 4 holes, including that near ace on the very next hole. This performance reminds me of how he was during 2015, when virtually nothing went wrong.

I would have loved to have seen Kuchar, who is very likeable, an obvious fan favorite, and a GT grad finally win his first major. However, he doesn't seem to have the killer instinct of Spieth. Spieth is a very worthy champion.

Bite your tongue man, Phil played the round of his life last year at The Open, Stenson just played a hair better... everyone has a bad round or two. I think Phil still has a win in him before heading to the Champions tour. And congrats Jordan!!

24 year old Justin Thomas, a good friend of golfers Spieth and Fowler and top 15 golfer, wins the PGA Championship with a great back 9, including a very dramatic birdie on 10 after the birdie putt hung by the hole for 10 seconds or so before then falling in (shades of Tiger at
16th at the Masters)! JT is the son of a current PGA course (not tour) professional, making his PGA win that much more special. Also, his caddy, another sports person named Jimmy Johnson, has been caddying for various golfers for over 20 years, including Nick Price and Steve Stricker.

So now the majors are done for 2017. I read that the PGA apparently will be moving to May in 2019. Opinions about this?
I also read that the Players' Championship will be moving back to its original March timeframe. Opinions?

It is Masters time with Tiger of all golfers among those favored! Any predictions on how he'll actually do? Any predictions on other golfers? Could Phil (no, not SouthernWx Phil) become the oldest Masters winner? Will Couples have still another great start before faltering over the weekend?

The wx looks mostly good though a short 3rd round delay looks probable to me. The final round wx looks great with dry and much cooler than normal.

Did you see Jack Nicklaus grandson hit a hole in one today during the par 3 contest? Priceless! And I think we could see a Phil, Tiger showdown, that would be awesome.

I did see that, I mean if you were hitting good shots they wouldn't have kept going in the water! Lol
And now the wheels are coming off for Phil, in the pines and just hit another tree.... looks like me out there
 
From what I've read about Patrick Reed's past, I don't know if I can root for him right now, but he'd certainly be a more than worthy winner based on his skills and abilities on the golf course. His putting has been especially noteworthy. He is actually reminding me of Spieth when his putting is super hot. Sunday should be fun to watch with Rory in the same twosome. Then there are Rickie & Rahm lurking behind them.

Look out for Spieth! After his great -5 front 9 and Reed's +1 so far, Spieth's suddenly within 3!
 
Congrats to Patrick Reed, who holds on to win his first major with a one shot win over Rickie Fowler thanks to a not so easy par on 18 after Fowler's final hole birdie had added pressure! It ended up being an exciting round.
