Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Great round by Horschel, three shots better than the next best completed round (Woods and others at E). They didn't show much of it at all, but he went -1 on the 14-18 stretch and hit every green in every regulation. He could be the leader after two rounds with that score.

I'd bet on it. I highly doubt his ability to hold up to US Open pressure, though. To call him a hothead is putting it mildly.

Could be one of those 80 scores in the final group waiting to happen. We shall see.

Mickelson saving par from inside the hazard at 5 appears to have settled him down somewhat. He needs to try and pick up one or two shots through 13.

Colsaerts was on his way to having a Mickelson-esque round, hitting no fairways or greens yet still scoring, but his ball just found a watery grave on 9.

And Bubba rinses one on 9 too.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 06-14-2013, 03:53 PM

He really thought he made it from 145. Nice shot.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 06-14-2013, 03:59 PM

Of course.

KC_Connection · 06-14-2013, 04:04 PM

Then he hits like the best shot all day on the 9th, the 2nd toughest hole on the course today.

Donald put one to tap in range earlier today. It was a brilliant shot.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 06-14-2013, 04:10 PM

Absolutely pathetic putting display.

I'm pretty sure that Mickelson had 18 putts through his first nine holes. He averages 28 per round.

Phil for the win

It amazes me how many guys are missing fairways with ****ing irons.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 06-14-2013, 04:21 PM

And a brutally stupid error in course management compounds it. Now he's likely to drop a shot on a cake par 4.

And these aren't Olympic fairways either. It's not like they are 45 degree cants where nothing can hold them. Every fairway is, essentially, a 25 yard wide green and they can't hit it.

Goes to show you how much golf is just a bomb and gouge game now. None of these guys can hit the broad side of a barn with extremely forgiving balls and clubs.

Mickelson. Oh My.
