    Been watching on ESPN+. you can follow featured groups. Following JT and Jordan Speith. Feel bad for Jordan he just isn't the same player and you have to wonder if he ever will find that magic again.

    I have to say the PGA has been very entertaining to watch, that course has really challenged the players and there have been some great shots..how about Bryson's 95 foot putt! How about golf ball getting stuck up in the tree's and not coming down, thick rough almost US Open stuff.

    Great leader board for this afternoon, weather seems to favor low scores Ryan Palmer put up a 64 this morning

    Didn't realize that the players can still play with spikes. They just showed DeChambeau walking on concrete with the classic click clack of spikes

    Colin Morikawa's incredible drive on 16 maybe the shot of the year.

    He doesn't have a bazooka launcher for a driver but he was #1 in fairways, #1 in proximity to the hole and #1 in strokes gained putting.

    Somebody shoulda told him the lid was loose. That was the only time he lost his cool.

    That's me! Crush the drive, center cut. Chunk the approach. Hit the next approach short. Take out the Texas wedge out of frustration for the 80' putt from the first cut... way short. three putt. Drink heavily.

    Well Dustin isn't letting up, he's increased his lead to 7 strokes. - 4 after 5 holes, could he get to - 30?

    I can sympathize. Made a nice putt on 18 yesterday and had to settle for 95. Was an ugly day.

    I guess you'd call that -30 under a beat down of the golf course and the 11 shot victory a beat down of the competition. Dustin was in the zone for sure.

    A -30 says as much about the course as it does about the golfer.

    I hope Dustin hasn't peaked too early! Certainly were a lot of double digit under par scores this weekend. That usually signals that the course was too easy for the Pros. Dustin hit 70% of the fairways and 90% of the Greens in Regulation. He putted very well.

    In the meantime,what will ever happen to Jordan Speith? He just looks lost out there, throws down a good round now and then, but no consistency and there really isn't any part of his game right now that is elite. Is he done? Is he a head case?

    Phil shot a 61 yesterday in his 1st round ever on the Champions Tour. Problem is that Phil lately hasn't been able to keep it up, he's played well in the opening rounds but fades after that. He's playing shorter courses with the Champions Tour, maybe that'll make a difference.
