PGA Championship Game Thread
Who you got? The PGA is usually a birdie fest, and it’s at a course Rory has won at numerous times. The career grand slam gorilla is off his back, his trust issues are gone, and he’s ready to just let it rip. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him win 34-17.

That’s hilarious. I have heard that it’s not a particularly popular course with some of the players.

Jon Rahm siting. Not liking his chances.
-
Spieth has two wins since his Open Championship in 2017 which was his only win after he laid the sod over his penalty shot at Augusta on 12. Amazing how the next big thing becomes what could have been in golf
Rahm 2 under early. Is he the LIV guy this time? I still like Bryson
Some criticism of Quail Hollow - it does have a great back nine finish but is ordinary otherwise. The PGA cares more about owning the course which is why they love Vallaha and will be at Frisco twice in the next 5 years
They have struggled forever with an identity. US Open light or new courses and 25 under wins
JT, Rory and Scottie on form but I have a feeling a regular tour dude like Straka will win. But not Straka. First time major winners love the PGA

May was mistake, especially when you throw out all the future NE sites in the years to come. If they hit on Friscoe it could save the event. Guessing they won’t since it’s the same body that brought us Valhalla and QH. Kiawuh has a slot upcoming, that is their best venue from a difficulty and an interesting course perspective. There’s also a lot of great Florida courses that no one has ever heard of, mix a little of that in.

Agree. It belongs in August.
They should play it at the Stadium Course at Sawgrass in May. Call it a player's championship or something
-
Play it at the Resort in CDA.
Engine revving for all.
-
I went to the one at Sahalle. VJ won. Disappointing
-
This Rory/Scottie/Xander group isn’t looking too hot so far. Bunch of nobodies on the leaderboard so far.
-
I should have predicted the predictable Rory 3 over
No pressure though
-
JT at +4, Rory +3, Xander +1. Those were the three guys that have had a lot of success on this course.
-
Scottie was actually impressive getting 2 under out of a bad round
-
Lots of bitching about mud balls from Xander and Scottie. They say there is nothing they can do. You could play it conservatively with a huge lake next to the green.
-
Nice comeback by JT, but he’s in deep shit at 18.
-
What a fuckin shot. I can’t believe he made contact with the ball, let alone gave himself a realistic chance at par
-
Those two shots were embarrassing for a 5 handicap
Lee Trevino would laugh at mud on the ball
-
The number of chip ins today is unreal.
-
I have an irrational hatred for Aaron Rai. His two black gloves are gay as shit, and I don’t like his face.
-
He has iron covers too.
-
Does he really??? If he does, my hatred is justified.
-
Didn't he go to Oregon?
-
I just googled it. He uses iron covers. What a fuckin dunce. Fuck that guy forever. I hope he hits every ball in the water and every putt hits a spike mark.
-
Not that I can find. He turned pro at 17 apparently.
-
Ok but he's from England so…
-
It looks like Scottie and Bryson at 2 under - 24th place are the only major winners on the board
-
I’m expecting 67 at worst from Scottie today. This tournament is primed for him to play well the next couple days and coast to a win on Sunday. The wind they expected today hasn’t materialized yet, so low scores are in play. It was great to see Homa go low today. I’m really rooting for him to regain his form. He’s one of the handful of guys on tour that actually has a personality. Bryson is looking fairly solid. It would be fun to watch him and Scottie battle it out on the weekend while all these nobodies fold.
-
I'd like Scottie v Bryson
-
Nice hole in 1 by Kim.
-
Had a mud ball today and didn’t hit it into the water.
