Misc Golf

Jim Furyk at age 48 is tied for the lead at -14 with Jon Rahm at age 24 at The Players! Also, there are many others within 3.

It ended up that neither won as Rory McIlroy won at -16 though Furyk came close at -15!

They made the very smart decision to start tee offs at 7:30, threesomes, and tee offs simultaneously on 1 & 10 for the first time ever there on a Sunday. Barring a playoff, that should allow it to finish tomorrow.
The impressively steady Molinari is -13 followed by Tiger and Finau at -11.
At -10 is Koepka while Poulter and Simpson are -9. These 6 are in the last 2 threesomes and very likely will include the eventual winner. It will be interesting who’s last hole in regulation is 9 vs 18.
 
At -13, Tiger wins the Masters, 22 years after winning his first! He was brilliant. Also, Molinari fell apart on the back nine. Koepka, Schauffele, and DJ were tied for 2nd at -12. Four others were tied for 5th at -11. It was a very exciting tourney!
 
After a terrible early afternoon for golf due to thunderstorms on Fri thus causing a lengthy rain delay, the Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head was able to get in 3 more hours late. The 2nd round was completed early on Sat and the 3rd round late Sat only a little late on a much nicer day (dry) though it was windy. Sun was near ideal with sunny and breezy. The winner was CT Pan, who came from well behind with a 67 to win his 1st PGA Toru event. Matt Kuchar also had a 67 but was one back. The Sat leader, DJ, had an awful final round and finished 8 strokes back!! The leader at the end of each of the 1st 2 rounds as well as much of the 3rd and part of the 4th, Shane Lowry, ended up tied for 3rd 2 shots back.

I attended a number of these back in the 70s-80s. It has the smallest greens on the tour as well as narrow fairways surrounded by numerous twisting live oaks and tall pines. In addition, it has a very tough last 3 holes often with windy conditions due to the nearby marsh and sound. So, despite not having thick rough and it being a rather short course, it is one of the most challenging and often one of the most exciting non-major tourneys to watch.

The amazing Brooks Koepka is a whopping 7 strokes ahead after 3 rounds of the PGA! He's going for back to back PGAs and an amazing 4th of his last 9 majors! Note that the PGA is being played 3 months earlier than past years.

To show how fast he has risen, he wasn't even mentioned in this thread until this post on page 2:

Brooks wins making it 4 of his last 9, something only a few golfers have done and only one, Tiger, has exceeded!

US Open in the middle of the 2nd round at Pebble Beach: Rose at -7 leading by 2 over 4 players including Rory.
Some other notables include Kuchar, Koepka, and Fowler -4; Garcia -3; Phil, Molinari, and Furyk -2; Spieth -1; Tiger E; DJ +1
 
After round 3, Gary Woodland and Justin Rose are killing the course though they’re not at all out of reach.
 
Unless you’re a Shane Lowry fan, the British Open was a snoozer. But to his credit, he was amazing in winning so easily! He won by 6.
