My in progress takes …
Spaun isn't an unknown quantity and him getting in the Playoffs at The Players probably deserves more respect from me than I give it but The Players has always been a strange tournament that has often produced a strange leaderboard … I don't think anybody behind him is afraid of him running away with anything. I'll say that I'd be impressed if he shoots 73 or better tomorrow.
Koepka probably got more out of his round today than he played so that's encouraging for him … his round today reminded me a bit of some of the stuff I saw with Bryson around Augusta where there were some smoke and mirrors early that caught up with him eventually. Let's see how tomorrow goes as he's not really been stringing rounds together as of late in Majors.
Most impressive round for me today was Rahm … he looked to be in solid control of his game and putting himself in a position where he was having relatively low stress. I think he would take 3 more 69's and take his chances.
Also need to acknowledge that Spieth probably was unlucky today to shoot even … I'll continue to say that courses where par is a good score set up well for him as his "Seve ability" gets him out of trouble that he's going to get into on any course anyway.
Rory will be an interesting watch tomorrow as he had the Jekyll and Hyde 9's … if he's able to go shoot something like 67 or 68 tomorrow and pull himself up to +1 or +2 after 36 holes he won't be in a terrible spot come the weekend
Not surprised at all with Scottie's day as I said before the tournament … this is a course that accentuates his "weaknesses"
I still suspect that anything at or better than par will be a great number come Sunday with the forecast coming …
Today was probably the best scoring conditions that you can get.
Tomorrow will likely get a little rougher and I wouldn't be shocked to see the scoring average jump by a full shot tomorrow.
The weekend is going to have a lot of weather challenges and if it puts water on the course then you're going to get a combination of the course playing longer and the rough becoming even more of a challenge as those thick lies just get heavier and more inconsistent.
They need to change their sign. Legal Immigrants did a great deal. Illegal aliens aren't the same thing.
They opened a lot of locations in Arizona in the past ten years or so.
it's different than the NW locations and I can't stand the whole faggy colored drinks and cool brah skateboarder thing, but that's why Bill isn't in marketing
I want doge cuts out there on their own to be voted on anyways.
Flush out the rhinos. Maybe get a few blue dogs to come out of hiding as well.
The Boersma brothers started Dutch Bros. back in the early 90s. Before that they had a dairy farm. There first location was in parking lot of the strip mall next to the courthouse. It was out in the open.They also had one at the west entrance to Fred Meyer in GP. They now own that strip mall. Their contributions to the people of GP and surrounding area are staggering. When the state wouldn’t license the Flying Lark, the writing was on the wall. 200+ jobs lost. Some of my son’s friends work for DB, and are relocating to AZ.
With Mason James committed, let's hope they can also flip one of the committed 4* WRs. They whiffed on closing last year with Olugbode and Marsh and I think one other highly-rated WR.
Props to Speith for hitting the ball all over the place and being -1.
