[Nipsey]

What is the benefit to Hovland of remaining amateur into this tournament rather than being pro coming in and making some $?  Did he get in because of his amateur status?  Does being low amateur in the Open get him something going forward?  

Yes. He got in because he won the US Amateur last year.

 

[Nipsey]

Holy ####.

 

[falguy]

They might as well just engrave koepka's name on the trophy now. 

 

[Apple Jack]

Yes. He got in because he won the US Amateur last year.

And remained an Amateur. He would not have been able to play as a professional.

 

[Mister CIA]

Between the scenery and the golf being played, this is awesome to watch.

 

[ffldrew]

Shame it's not Koepka and Woodland head to head in last pairings

 

[hooter311]

And remained an Amateur. He would not have been able to play as a professional.

He goes pro next week.

Kid's swing speed is something to witness.

 

[Nipsey]

What's crazy is if Brooks doesn't hit it in the water at 12 at Augusta we'd be talking legit shot at the Grand Slam right now.

 

[Nipsey]

Shame it's not Koepka and Woodland head to head in last pairings

Still a shot for tomorrow.

Buck mentioned that, which spurred my questions.  God forbid they address why he's waiting.  Or maybe they have several times and I just missed it.

 

[ffldrew]

Great point

 

[facook]

Still a shot for tomorrow.

Not anymore.

 

[falguy]

Still a shot for tomorrow.

The dudes with the USA.USA. chant will have to come up with something new.

It's pretty common among top amateurs

[TakiToki]

Woodland getting respect in live betting odds, even with Koepka right now at +125 on Bovada. I'd think Koepka to be a noticeable favorite at this point.

 

[Nipsey]

Not anymore.

3 way tomorrow. Louis, Brooks, Woodland.

What's with all the Joel Klatt updates?

Ah ####. I missed that. Why they gotta #### up everything?

 

[Nipsey]

Schauffele on fire.

Some better context would be that this was the course that Hovland won the NCAA championship at last season and he has his college coach on the bag.

Was shooting practice rounds with Fowler earlier in the week.  He was playing for the win this weekend and leads the field in shots gained t2g this week by a pretty wide margin.

Impressive stuff.

 

[Nipsey]

I think Hovland just 3 putted from 15 feet on 17.

 

[falguy]

Incredibly beautiful golf course. 

 

[ffldrew]

Does Fox just go into the gallery and ask if anyone has something stupid to say and then band them a mike for the tee shot.

 

[belljr]

Your face is incredibly beautiful.....

 

[Nipsey]

As long as they don't ba ba booey I'm fine. Anyone who yells ba ba booey needs to be ejected and arrested.

 

[culdeus]

What's with all the Joel Klatt updates?

They want to brand him the next Costas

 

[Nipsey]

I don't know why the USGA just doesn't go full Augusta. No phones and eject anyone who yells anything stupid.

Turn the cameras off every 15 mins and let the crowds self regulate.

 

[belljr]

That looked like one of my chips....not good

 

[Nipsey]

Tiger got it to back to -1 for the day. Pretty remarkable after that start.

 

[Nipsey]

Thank you for the $$$$ Viktor!! My new favorite player maybe.

 

[GAlmgren]

When an amateur finishes in the money does the caddy just do it for free?

 

[belljr]

Koepka in trouble, awful shot

 

[belljr]

When an amateur finishes in the money does the caddy just do it for free?

Yes.   For this week it was his golf coach

 

[Nipsey]

When an amateur finishes in the money does the caddy just do it for free?

Usually it's a friend, teammate, coach, relative or maybe a local jock. With Hovland maybe he already hired a guy because he's a pro next week and he's going to be a star.

I guess go ahead and yell what you like. But it sounds like the person is directly mic'd up. They could turn it down in the mix at least

 

[Nipsey]

Man, don't count out Scott. Guy is dialed in.

 

[Nipsey]

Big putt coming up with these tough holes up next.

 

[Mister CIA]

Man, don't count out Scott. Guy is dialed in.

Update?

 

[Nipsey]

I soon as I say it Scott goes ob. Unreal.

 

[Rodrigo Duterte]

What were the odds on Woodland before the start?

 

[hooter311]

Oost has never won in the states, that astonishes me almost as much as his ability to finish 2nd in each of the 4 majors.

 

[Nipsey]

What were the odds on Woodland before the start?

I think I saw around 65-70-1.

 

[falguy]

This 8th hole looks pretty easy. 

 

[hooter311]

I think I saw around 65-70-1.

Or higher...

 

[hooter311]

Man, don't count out Scott. Guy is dialed in.

Call me crazy, I still like Stenson...

 

[Mister CIA]

I'll jinx Xander Schauffele.

 

[Nipsey]

Can't believe how skinny Brooks was 5 years ago.
