I think there are cases when a player can qualify the weekend right before the British. They pretty much jump on a plane to head over there.

ETA: I know this has happened within the last couple of years. The commentators said something about hoping that player had his bags packed.

Yeah, not so much worried about the last minute stragglers. Just trying to get the office pool situated. I like to get the pool out the week prior to the tournament, so that means next week sometime. I have a list that has 114 golfers as of now, but that's missing a good amount of golfers. I think most are people at the bottom that won't be picked, but I just want to make sure.

Greens rolled true.

that was a sprinkler head off the green. Snedeker should have seen it and played a different shot.

That's a great point.

I saw Spieth on multiple holes carefully checking his line and repairing little divots before he putted.

I missed it live, but that hop looks awfully close to the hole to be off the green.

If you can tell where all the greens begin on that course you have better eyes than mine

I'm not saying I can see the green from that video, but I read somewhere that's what happened with his particular putt. A lot of those pin placements were pretty close to the edges...but again, it was really hard to tell.

 

[NutterButter]

Sprinkler head. He should've asked for relief.

 

[joffer]

Sprinkler head. He should've asked for relief.

under what rule? it was in his line, didn't interfere with stance or swing.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

Sprinkler head. He should've asked for relief.

Unless there is a particular local rule, there is no relief for a sprinkler head in the line of putt if it does not interfere with stance or stroke.

And most of the sprinkler heads were very easy to notice. Was this one camo'd or something???

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Yes, you may take line of putt relief from any immovable obstruction on a putting green, as long as both ball and sprinkler head are both on the green

Rule 24-2a

 

[NutterButter]

I think this is what this means

PGATOUR.COM: The ground game is important this week. What happens when those sprinkler heads are in a player’s line?

Pagel: We used this at Pinehurst, we’ll use it again this year as well, the local rule for sprinkler heads close to the putting green. If it’s on the player’s line of play, he can drop it to his nearest point of relief. The thought is that we want the player to have options, and one of those options is to keep the ball on the ground, so if he has something on his line of play, we want to make sure he gets free relief from that.

It gets pretty specific. If there’s a sprinkler head within two club lengths of the edge of the putting green and within two club lengths of your ball, and on your line of play, you’re going to get free relief.

There was a local rule in play for sprinkler heads, but probably did not come into play here:

NM - NutterButter has it covered.

Though its not clear the sprinkler head was within 2 club lengths of the ball, even using two drivers.

I doubt the sprinkler was actually on the green itself.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Yeah - re-watching the video, no chance it was within 2 club lengths. He should have played a different shot.

Some men's clubs are bigger than others

Yes, but that doesn't mean they're any better at seeing hazards on the way to the hole.

DJ should have tried to barely get the ball into the cup on the last roll, ensuring if he missed, he'd have a tap in par and still be in the playoff. He just choked, badly

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

he really ####ed up not asking day to mark it imo.

You knew that if he let too much speed on the 1st put it was going to end up potentially where day could help him get a line, plus keep the footprints under control. Day above the hole, sure let him putt out.

It didn't matter if Day marked it or not but DJ needed to step up and be decisive, the back and forth there was odd in retrospect. It was just a foreshadowing of things to come, his confidence was not there. He took forever to line up the eagle putt too, you could tell he was already struggling.

He should have told Day to sink his putt and then step up and drain the eagle.

 

[mr roboto]

OUTRAGEZ!!!!!! WORST COURSE EVAH!!!!! HOPPING PUTZ!!!!!

2 days later... 'uh, that's not even true...'

Not sure which shot you mean. He did get a par. He missed his eagle putt to win, then missed a short come backer for birdie to tie.

Rory is going to curb stomp the field.

My friend will be running one.

$200 entry. Pick any four. All four have to make the cut. Low score for all four wins. Tie breaker is total score to par for your four.

Top 3 pay.

There were about 18-20 entries for the US Open.

It's just an office pool. We run a pool for each of the majors and the The Players. $20 a person. We split the picks into 6 tiers and pick one golfer from each tier. Drop the worst score. Lowest score wins. Nothing too crazy.

 

[Zow]

I'd be up for a pool. 200 is a little more steep than Id want but if that's the option...

 

[Zow]

Who ran the masters one? That was well done.
