And he is playing timid using irons while others using drivers. for all intents and purposes he was done after he dunked his second shot. You could see it on his face that "**** , here we go again" look

It's a shame he's fallen so much since the earlier part of his career. Truly one of the greatest sports icons of my childhood is now just an 'average joe' for lack of a better term.


but his back 9 today was hardly the work of a golfer deemed "done". In fact, it was better than most of what Ive been seeing thus far. He easily could have packed it in ( or better yet, clenched his lower back and withdrawn lol ) but he stayed the course and shot pretty well on the back 9 after an abysmal front. Granted, he'll likely miss the cut, and is a shell of his former self, but it must be nice to be a shell of your former self and still be better than 99% of the rest of the world.

He will have great rounds but the consistency over 4 days will be difficult to get back. He has played good rounds but the next day he shoots 10 strokes higher. He is mentally not where he needs to be, not sure if that will ever come back.

To Kevin's point, I'm not sure if he retires how that would effect his endorsement deals. Nike isn't going to pay 8 figures to someone out of the game.

he should re learn the game left handed.....nice fresh start. No bad habits. he has the ability. he has no idea where the ball is going. that Sally ass putt on 18 was disgraceful.

For some odd reason I have a vivid memory of Steve Lowery "cold-necking" a 2 iron OB right in the final round of the '95 Open Championship. And that's hard to do on this course.

Interested in GPK's read on this mornings proceedings. If you haven't heard they started play and Koepka was on 11th green. To make a long story short he was unable to play a shot due to the ball moving. Meanwhile play continued behind him and it came to a point where 4 groups stacked up on the hole before play was finally suspended. Dustin Johnson played 8 shots during this period and if memory serves me I think he lost 1 to par.

http://www.sbnation.com/golf/2015/7/...rews-wind-2015

1. Why did they even start play. They know full well which hole would have the biggest problem. Why would they not test that the ball would not roll uncontrollably when placed on the green.

2. Why did they let play continue behind him when they recognized he was struggling to be able to play a shot. Why did they not suspend play after a few minutes until it was proven a shot could be played on the hole.
