Hovland has maybe the most horsepower of anyone when he has it going. He sucks at chipping still but that weakness gets erased a bit at a place like this with the thick rough around the greens where it all gets a little random. He’ll win a US Open or PGA at a course like this.
This is a rad site I just found. It has live strokes gained stats. Rahm is top 10 in strokes gained tee to green, but is sucking putting as I expected.
My buddy was dead last in the field in strokes gained off the tee in the first round. Ouch. That’s crazy, because he’s the best driver of the ball I’ve ever played with by far.

Brutal, Berger just made an 8. Ouch baby, very ouch
Just need to get into the clubhouse in one piece today it looks like.
If Rahm could make a fucking putt, he’d probably be leading. I’m not sure anyone has hit the ball better than him thus far.

Right on queue, Victor hits a dogshit chip and makes bogey.
lol the on course jinx is undefeated.
Did your buddy qualify at Wine Valley?
Yeah, he did
Huge fuck up by Burns there. He’s making double at 9 unless he pulls a miracle bogey out of his ass
Poor showing from Brooks but he kept it on the tracks at least. Both him and Rahm putted terribly it looks like.
Adam Scott is on my radar this afternoon, so is Xander.
Holy shit. I reverse jinxed Sam. He managed to make par after hitting it in the ditch. What a fuckin putt.
Concerned that Scottie can’t play courses that he doesn’t see every year.
So three under is the lead. Should hold up
2 or 3 over will need a big moving day
Interesting theory. His only majors are at courses he plays every year, so you may be onto something
Another conspiracy theory is he can’t play on poa greens, which this is. Never won a tourney on those that I can gleam.
I call that a par on a par-5 hole.
West coast players know poa.
if you look at Muirfield Village, Firestone, Bay Hill and Torrey Pines you'll find a huge chunk of Tiger's wins
US Open at Torrey and Pebble
He did the first one at Bethpage which was new to everyone
