What is wrong with Tiger? Hurt wrist, tweaked back or sand in the eye?
He is 42 with a fused back not having played much competitive golf at all over the last few years.
Alright, how many of you are old enough to remember when "audio difficulties" were a common occurrence on TV? (Raises hand)
Fox is using the audio loss as an excuse to crank up the frequency of commercial breaks.
You mean they don’t fake that like the bird sounds?
Still, over/under on Tiger mentions and shots shown tomorrow?
A lot.
Another thought: As great as these guys are, it is stunning to me how consistently putts have been left short today. As the saying goes, putts left short are missed 100% of the time.
Just last year that putt for Spieth on 18 was a no doubter. It's amazing how he's forgotten how to putt.
The number of Top 25 golfers to miss the cut is large.
#4 J Spieth
#5 J Rahm
#6 R McIlroy
#8 J Day
#15 S Garcia
#19 B Watson
#25 M Kuchar

He claims he was utilizing the rules to his greatest advantage, and to avoid a protracted back and forth on/off the green. Who knows?
The press is descending upon him right now as he's leaving the clubhouse.
I don’t know. But this would be on its sixth page if Tiger had done that. Not sure how that was not a DQ.
Exactly. He intentionally broke the rules in order to possibly keep his score from getting worse.
But, what would you expect from someone who got off with insider trading?
Figjam should absolutely be disqualified for that. Not sure how the rules committee can seriously say that was not intentionally stopping or deflecting a moving ball.
Came to post the same thing. The amount of pearl clutching in this thread would be amazing. Good news, Koepka and Berger are both right in the mix.
A Seminole in the first and second group tomorrow. Odds on the announcers even noticing?
I love Phil but absolutely agree he should be DQd for that. It was extremely douchy.
On the other hand, Phil is calculating and was very clearly sending a message to the USGA imo. Least ye forget how vocal he was about the Ryder Cup after the Americans were getting worked every time. It was only after Phil spoke out did you see any changes to the process get made.
My guess is you'll see the same sort of impact with future US Opens. Phil may not have the resume Tiger does but he's very influential regardless...
The USGA has come out and admitted mistakes made in the course set up saying the afternoon groups played in unfair conditions. I would think Phil's actions contributed some to that statement.
I tuned out after so I didn't see that. The only thing I saw was their reply to ZJ saying the same things about the course. The USGA did a real diservice to all the afternoon groups yesterday. They should cancel play today, erase yesterday's scores and count the 36 hole as the final.
P.S. I just caught up and saw the USGA's 'reason' for not DQing Phil. They are wrong again. Phil should WD but apparently he's not doing that either so they're all wrong...

To be honest, Zinger might squeeze in a mention or two. It would help somewhat if our guys donned the colors!
If you showed a picture of Tommy Fleetwood to the average person on the street and asked them if he was a British PGA tour golfer or a redneck from North Florida, 95% would pick the later.
Wait, are you saying he isn’t from Panama City????
Finally! Not until it was already decided and Berger finished the 18th.
