And back to the tournament as well, give me Aberg selfishly for my bet or BCD. Cantlay is as interesting as paint drying. Would also love Rory getting to 5

I'm actually rooting for Bryson.

I think he's probably on the spectrum which contributes to the social awkwardness he can create. But I actually appreciate that the guy cares as much as he does and is one of the few to innovate other than just juicing clubs like manufacturers do.

There are lots of fun stories lurking a couple shots down the leaderboard. Its shaping up for a great weekend, may the toughest guy win.

Finau tacks a major on the resume
Hideki gets a second Major
Tom Kim breakout
Bhatia beats guys twice his size
Xander takes a second in a row

Sam with a great chance to make good scratch this week. Currently sitting in ~$200k territory. Hopefully he can keep it together and stay near top 20 or make a run.

But to get back to the tournament at hand, I'd probably make Bryson the favorite right now. Been there, done that. Which should help down the stretch. Aberg winning would break a century long streak of no first timers winning. Have a hard time seeing Cantlay winning too. But I guess that's what the weekend's for.

While Bryson clearly has what it takes to win, after watching Aberg not be fazed by the Ryder Cup last year, I think he pulls this out and breaks the first timer streak.

Robert Rock could ruin the days of everyone at +5. He birdied 7 (16th hole for him), and a birdie on 8 or 9 would move the cut back to +4.

Edit: Theegala's bogey to finish should keep the +5 crowd safe.
Can someone fill us in on the math when they're deciding on the cut? I feel like I only have a minimal understanding of it. Do they want to come as close as they can to a certain % of players cut? Or is there a raw # in mind? The projection was sure jumping around late yesterday by several strokes.

Could definitely happen. Dude is gonna be a monster for the next couple decades.

Reading some articles this morning and one guy likes Hideki's chances. Apparently, he is one of the top around-the-green "shots gained" guys. Thinks they will dry the greens out even more and it's going to turn into a chipping contest when no one can hold the greens. That favors Hideki. Interesting thought.

I think he is the one guy that could topple Scottie in the next few years. I am not saying it is a certainty but he is just an all around great player. If he does become the next dominant player, I hope the recreational players and the rest of the PGA tour imitate his pace of play.

I agree Hideki has a good chance.

Aberg is so good.

He has one of those pure sexy Adam Scott type swings that's just awesome to watch.

He also plays fast. I think that's my favorite attribute of any pro. If they play fast I'm a fan.

Some of the peacock coverage has been annoying but NBC is putting a lot of golf on. Basically 10 hours of straight coverage today starting now.

They were expecting Tiger to be teeing off this morning, but he is washed and irrelevant now. Thank god some of the other guys that everyone is tuned in for are going to get some airtime finally.

Course is looking fast this morning and will likely only get worse through the day. Little breeze too. Should be a fun afternoon.

So...for example, if all the +4's and ties gets them to 59, they have to expand it to the +5's in order to get at least 60?

Exactly. When I posted about Robert Rock, +5 was T60. If he had birdied (and other scores stayed the same), then +5 would've been T61, and they'd all be cut.

He has so much game. Have a friend that has played with him a lot over the years in lubbock. Really good guy from the sounds of it.

My only question is if he had to buy those pants in the boys section. He's a little dude and those suckers are small on him.
