Should I feel embarrassed that I still check to see where the @Cubs are in the wildcard race when I know it's over?

The @PGATOUR Commish talked about the board meeting yesterday and the PIF, but don't get excited, not much new to report, but a couple of nuggets worth reading. athlonsports.com/golf/pga-tour-…

Is it time to give @McIlroyRory a break after all the supposed slights to @b_dechambeau, the media and golf in general. tempest.saymedia.com/#/content-item…

I find it so odd that @GolfChannel spent so much time ripping players that went to @livgolf_league and now, @b_dechambeau digs @PGATOUR golf out of huge ratings hole with the highest rated East coast @usopengolf since 2013 and the best quarter-hour in the history of the event.

Let's see where your thoughts are for the last major of 2024 at Royal Troon? Who will win The Open next month.

The last guy in for @OlympicGolf is Fabrizio Zanotti from Paraguay. Currently at 343rd in the @OWGRltd with his best days behind him, Zanotti has been as high as 76th in the rankings, but hasn't had a top 10 in 2024.

According to the @USGA, the Stimp on the greens are 13s to 14 and will slow over the round. The tees are moved up on the 13th to make it a potentially drivable par 4 at 316 yards as the crow flies, with +6 yards up hill.

Who you got a Pinehurst?

The one to beat has to be @b_dechambeau. With game that seems just a cut above the rest, but being a 54 hole leader does not make you the winner. athlonsports.com/golf/bryson-de…

Shooting a 66 in the third round of the @usopengolf, @collin_morikawa put himself right back in the thick of a major title and a spot on USA Olympic team. athlonsports.com/golf/collin-mo…

So, the 3rd round of the @usopengolf will look more like a NASCAR race than a golf tournament with greens speeds reported to be mid 13s to 14, but a well know coach believes they are higher. Also take a good look at the 9th hole, which is as treacherous as a golf hole can be.
