why DJ? He had the 2 bad weeks then 4 rounds in the 60's this week. Eats up Pebble so doesn't mind the West Coast. Can dig out of rough. I'm actually putting him in and taking JT out (way way down in proximity to the pin out of the rough). So far I'm leaning Koepka, DJ, Schauffle, Hatton. We pick 4 in our pool. Next on my list is Morikawa.
Aw shoot, I thought the broadcast was on ESPN 4-10pm Thu and Fri. Is the early coverage on the ESPN app?
he played this course a fair amount in college (Stanford is not far away) and pretty sure he won a WGC there
Was it from the shot or a tantrum, I wonder?Brysons driver head just fell off after his drive on 7
Was it from the shot or a tantrum, I wonder?
Not a tantrum, Beefcake broke it by leaning on it.
Good question...I agree with you but I bet Pros answers vary. I think Tiger needs early/late for rest.
One of his entourage had a spare in his trunk. Replacement allowed due to house rules I think I heard.
New PGA rule last year allows for repair or play if damaged club if it is done during play
Yeah, only hit it 327 & 357 the first two drives with the backup driver. No 400+ ? #mckaylaisnotimpressed
According to Bryson and ESPN he got a new shaft
not super important but nope; he replaced the club. he carries two backup drivers and three backup shafts to each event. one of his team members went to his car & got his backup, one that he had hit often enough in practice he was comfortable with it. had never used it in competition before, though.
one time I snapped a 4-iron, which at the time was my favorite club (I had managed to hit a bunch of shots stiff with my 4I over a couple year period and always felt confident when I pulled it.) had my club pro replace the shaft with one that was supposedly the same weight, flex, et al. man, IDK but I never felt comfortable with that replacement shaft no matter how many times I hit it in practice. even took it back to have it tested, I was sure it was different. 'twas all in my head, but so are a lot of things in golf. I was pretty impressed he didn't miss a beat yesterday.
you right bro, I stand corrected - I misread a couple accounts.According to Bryson he got a new shaft
DeChambeau sent a member of his team to grab a replacement shaft from his car while he continued to play the seventh hole and had it replaced before he reached the par-3 8th hole.
“The head is fine, it’s just the shaft. That was weird, swinging too hard. I guess it’s all those swings I put in. Glad I can replace it, that’s awesome. That’s a nice break,” DeChambeau said on course.
“I think it is so funny. It was bound to break. I’ve been using it for a long time. Got a lot of good use out of it.”
In fact afterwards DeChambeau said the shaft had lasted over a year and had been put through its paces a significant amount.
“This material isn't going to last forever, no matter how strong you make it, but that thing has lasted over a year swinging it over 200-mile-an-hour ball speeds. I'd say it's done pretty dang well and to be able to put another shaft right back in and have that thing perform amazing, it just shows how amazing that company is,” DeChambeau said of the Cobra SpeedZone driver.
On his first swing on the long par-4 ninth with the new shaft DeChambeau pounded his tee shot 327-yards into the fairway and would walk off the hole with a birdie to turn at three under, just two shots off the lead.
“The nice part about it is that I've used that shaft on the practice range this week, testing, just making sure I have backup shafts. I pretty much do that every week for the most part because I know I'm swinging it this fast, something is going to happen sometime,” DeChambeau added.
I don’t think it’s gonna get as windy today as it was yesterday. The last 3 afternoons have been windy but today seems a lot more mellow.
Either way if he comes out losing it right like he did the last Friday we saw him, he'll shoot 78.
