What a day for Phil. Shoots a 65 and is in the clubhouse tied for 2nd with Koepka. 

Rahm is just playing par golf….got hosed on #9 and cost him 1-2 shots

IF Rahm doesn’t birdie a couple of the should birdie holes…..Phil has a shot. If Rahm just keeps playing as is he should finish -10 or -11, but he didn’t play them well this morning.

Should’ve put some Top 10 bets on those! You would’ve made some money this week.

Koepka with a huge choke job

This is when golf sucks. +18 for the afternoon/morning tee times. +98 for the morning/afternoon ones. Just brutal discrepancy. Brutal.

Thinking that Rahm was playing better than Koepka all week, just not showing so on the scoreboard until they started playing together

Will Zalatoris has surgery and is out for the rest of the season to recover.

How so?

Forgot we play 72 holes, not 54, I guess    :) 

Looks like a lot of PGA guys forgot that, as well.

I just cant get behind a guy choking when he was up 2 strokes after 3. If there wasnt weather, making it seem like Brooks was up 5 strokes for 3 straight days, no one would call this a choke. He was up a bunch after his 2nd, and people acted like Jon Rahm didnt have an entire round still to play. He ended up 2 after Round 2 and 3 and it only seemed like an insurmountable lead because he held a big lead overnight with the second round not finished and then the same with the 3rd round only starting Saturday and not getting close to finishing.

Dang

It helps that Rahm is a likable guy. I was happy for him.  Brooks always seems pissed about something.  He’s hard for me to warm up to.

Agree. 

I think Rahm's 35 on the back nine in Round 2 was pretty amazing, given the elements, and a big key to the win.  

Anyone else feel terrible for Tiger?

Feel terrible?  No.   I’m sorry the guy can’t be competitive because he’s fun to watch when he is.  I’m glad he wasn’t killed or injured worse in his car wreck.  But that was not just a random “accident” that befell him.  The way he was driving and either passed out or asleep, he could have easily killed someone.

Not sure.  He caused the auto accident due to his actions.  Fortunate to be able to walk as much as he has since the accident.

Valid points.  I still feel for the guy.

For probably the greatest player of all-time to not get the solid opportunity to break the majors' record is certainly a bit of a downer, but it is what it is.

I’m sorry for the guy too.  I’m selfishly sorry because I love pulling for him and watching him compete.  He’s the most dominant athlete I’ve ever seen in my lifetime especially 1999-2009 - no comparison).  I just don’t feel sorry for him in a way that I would if something unfortunate had happened to him by chance.  

I feel robbed we didnt get to see him in his "second prime" much. But I dont feel bad for him his life is an dissaray. Its all his own doing.

How familiar are all of you with addiction?  I do not ask that condescendingly.
