Does Zalatoris have to buy his pants in the boys section? That waistline LOL
Nantz just said size 28. Hilarious.


I was thinking he might even be squeezing into some 26's

I want to see someone other than Xander paired with Hideki. Change it up from the flow he had going


I actually think Xander is his most likely challenger tomorrow. I like them being paired together. If Xander can go low, it'll be interesting to see how Hideki responds.

If he wins, Condi Rice might have to loan him her jacket for the ceremony

I had no idea until yesterday that Will Zalatoris went to my high school (Trinity Christian Academy-Addison '14). Would like to see him make a run, especially since I took him as a long shot at +8000 (among many others).
And believe me I would love to find out his jacket size tomorrow. I only put $25 on him to win but that's a $2,000 payout. Need a Hideki meltdown tomorrow and this could get real interesting.

If I'm betting tomorrow I'm going Xander. He can go low and plays well here. Should be fun.

It'll be interesting to watch Hideki with a lead. Usually he's chasing and needs to make putts. Tomorrow his usual ball striking and two putts are the perfect strategy.

I'm certainly interested in watching that.

Was very disappointed in Speith and JT today. Figured they were guaranteed under par rounds today.

Finau 1 over is expected.

Like you said probably a Xander v Hideki battle tomorrow.

Darvish spoke perfect English when he was a Ranger but still preferred a translator.

Them being together is more entertaining, but I think a guy one hole ahead making birdies and getting roars adds a bit. Causes the mind to wander as to what might be happening

Where was that Justin Rose putting in the final round at Pebble Beach in the 2019 U.S. Open when he couldn't hit anything and cost me a $2,200 win?

You will also spend about 2X or more than what you are planning to on merchandise. My first trip there was after winning the ticket lottery (so cheap ticket), and I'm pretty sure I spent more in the shop than on my airfare, hotel, and ticket combined

Did they say who the final pairing is tomorrow? I've watched enough golf over the years that I should know but can't remember how they determine final group when there are multiple golfer T2.

Should be Xander with him since he was in earliest at -7.

First in, last out so should be Xander.

Palmer is currently tied for 13th. The top 12 automatically qualify for next year's tournament, so something to watch for.
Trucker 96
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, although his world ranking is very solid, so hopefully he keeps playing well and tomorrow is moot with him staying well inside the top 50

Hedeki has been in contention in majors before and folded. Tomorrow will be no different.

Winning score- 10 under......Jordan Speith with a final round 67

Someone in the trailing group will go fairly low tomorrow. Could be anyone, honestly.

If Hideki can break 70, he wins I think, but breaking 70 after a 65, especially on Sunday at the Masters with a big lead, is no bargain.

Also I was shocked to see Spieth throw away three shots with his putter late. Very abnormal for him to three putt 13 and 16 and then miss that shorty on 18. I guess it's not his year after all, unless he goes crazy tomorrow.

Was hoping for better from Palmer and Champ today but it was tough out there for a lot of guys.

The shots that Hideki and Rose made coming in were impressive.

I think tomorrow will be great. Someone will make a charge in front of Hideki and we will see if he can keep it together.

Pretty unusual, Rose and Spieth are the only major winners in top 12.

Finau at -3 in 9th place is the probably the cutoff for a player that has a chance to win. Nobody below that has a chance to get to -10 which will probably be required to win. Even if Matsuyama falters, someone from -7 group will play under well.

it's possible for someone below that to get there, but the odds are better they don't replay the opening tee shot at least 3 times than someone shooting 64 or better tomorrow

I still think Spieth is the floor. If someone can do -7, one of these guys will get to -4. Sunday tends to have some birdie pins.

A 6 stroke comeback has been done a few times. 7 and 8 were done once, but the 8 in particular was totally freakish circumstances (Venturi led as an amateur and collapsed with an 80 on a crazy day where 1 guy shot under par)

I'm little surprised Matsuyama still needs a translator. Would have thought he'd know English by now.


A lot of Japanese people won't learn English. They are really proud of their culture and dont see the need to branch out. Hell. Some know it but refuse to speak it. At least that's what I've gathered from my several trips there.
This isn't my experience working for a Japanese company. For one, in school they do learn English but it's all reading and writing, so they struggle talking and hearing English. Secondly, they're conservative in general and dont like to take risks, so even if they do speak good English they try to avoid those situations if they can (email instead of call).

I have a lot of coworkers who complain about their English that speak great easily understood English. I have some that will never answer a call from me and insist on emails. They say it's because they don't want to miss anything I say or be misunderstood. If I'm talking, they may only catch 80% but the 20% is what they're worried about.

But universally all the Japanese people I know want to speak good English. They know it's a key to being part of the global economy. Those that are doing expat assignments in the US desperately try to get their kids to learn "native" English during their time here so they have better opportunities.

Off the top of my head, 2 and 16 both funnel to the hole on Sunday if you hit a good shot.

13 and 15 are potential eagles as well.

They like to move the tee up on #3, if I recall. Tricky green complex, but usually an opportunity

7 is also a hole that funnels the ball towards the pin if you hit the right spot. You can get close on 6 too.

3 was up yesterday as well. Do they put it up on Sunday too? My memory is failing me.

Pin sheets are out. Pin is back right on the shelf again at 6. Tough to get close to.
