Can broadcasters please stop saying that Wyndham Clark overcame something that happened to him. He made a decision to throw a fit and destroy a locker - the locker didn’t attract him.

@redkacheek @saulgoodmanDFS You're either not processing how much slope is on both sides of the pin, or you don't understand golf. Even other pros said they wouldn't have considered trying this shot during competition. They also don't play greens this difficult nearly every week

@saulgoodmanDFS That people think it’s a crazy shot. They hit this shot nearly every week

🤷‍♂️ still confused the hype this shot got

@KalshiSports The Louie Albatross on #2 at the Masters

What's the purest "golf shot" you've ever seen at a major tournament?

@GolfonCBS @PGAChampionship Show the golf shots you 🤡. You're showing this a 2nd time instead of covering multiple players in the lead.

"You used one word to describe your play in round one, use one word to describe your play after round three" 😅 Rory McIlroy spoke with Amanda Balionis after completing play Saturday @PGAChampionship

@TronCarterNLU They decided to show Rory walking for a solid 2 minutes over that back 9. No excuse for that

This is such a high stakes day for Sellers Shy and CBS. It’s gonna have to be quick cuts and/or everything on delay so they can suss out what they need to show. It’s an impossible ask. 35 guys within 3 shots. I’ve got serious sympathy and patience for the team in the truck today.

@PaoloUggetti @KylePorterNS In other words "I thought I could have hit driver wherever I wanted and have easy wedge shots. But the mean PGA made the pins too hard." Like you said, there's very few hazards, the defense of this golf course is the greens. Hit better approach shots or putt better

Here’s Rory on the first two days at Aronimink which he calls “not a great setup”

PGA Championship is in a pretty tough spot It already gets criticized for not having an identity compared to other majors, which i definitely think is fair, and I understand some players and fans don't love the setup, but isn't cool to see them take it right to the edge on the harder side for once? They'd get even more criticism if 15 under was leading right now, and what should differentiate majors from regular tests is the mental examination aspect of it. I love seeing players frustration, we rarely ever get to see it the other 40 weeks of the year on the PGA Tour. Players used to complain at US Opens all the time, and I understand why the USGA veers on the side of caution now, although I wish they would be more willing to make players more uncomfortable.. one week out of the year I think it's totally understandable and a good thing that the PGA heard the easiness chatter and pushed the boundary with some of these pins, and I actually would expect them to set it up easier tomorrow, but pretty ridiculous that the same people who would hate if its 15-under leading right now are also now complaining that it's now too hard/boring/"not separating great play enough." Analytically, there's zero guarantee/evidence that we'd see a higher slope if it was an easier setup. Its actually very possible that skill would separate less if we removed some approach penalty. Also, if the closest thing to the PGA's identity right now is that we are going to be guaranteed an exciting weekend, we have 43 players within 5 strokes of the lead, don't know what more you can ask for.

@shadybiev Par is just a social construct

I’ll say it a 542 yd Par 4 could be the stupidest fucking hole design of all time.

@acaseofthegolf1 @DontCutKids I agree, that's why I said he's an unserious golfer. My point is that they need to fix the rules. Need to be far more concerned with pace of play vs something like this

@zach7m @DontCutKids But that’s not the rule

There are a lot of stupid rules in golf, a lot rules that have too much room for debate. Being on the first tee on time isn’t one of them.

@acaseofthegolf1 @DontCutKids I think he's a very unserious golfer for being late and making the comments he did. But there is an argument. He was ready when his name was called, it had zero impact on the tournament, no advantage was gained. But players take 5 minutes to aimpoint a 5 footer nothing is done

@DontCutKids 1. Agree on slow play being enforced 2. That has nothing to do with this and cant be the defense.

@NoLayingUp This is going to be such a flop. The pros will end up optimizing via Trackman and have no net impact. But the weekend warrior will actually loose yardage.

It's been challenging to be: 1. Pro rollback 2. Concerned with how it's being implemented This Cam story is one of several we've heard about how easy it is for players and manufacturers to essentially circumvent the effects of the rollback based on how the rule is written.

@PenguinsJesus When's the "would have at least shown a pulse in the 2nd round" banner raising ceremony? Would love to attend

Never wrong, just early. Pens would have at least shown a pulse.

@PensDen Penguin's for the last week and a half

A close up of Flyers fans after they were swept by the Canes

@SGNolan They have one of the lowest hockey IQ fanbases in the league

For the record, this is what Tocchet had to say about the refs tonight: "I thought the refs were awesome. It was a good game for them in the sense that they let [the teams] play. It's fun to watch when there's not a lot of penalties." So...

@VinnysCorner1 Eric Lindross

Without saying your age…. Who was the best player on your favorite NHL team when you started watching Hockey? I’ll start…. Pat LaFontaine

@AmedeoGrassia98 I'm in the middle. 5v5 he is not playing playoff level hockey, weak turnovers, questionable D zone positioning. Even when he got some brief 2nd line time. But not using him on the PP more is a horrible coaching decision. His creativity and passing is worth a chance there.

Anytime you bring up Matvei Michkov you get two completely different people People who are considered fan boys and cockroaches for defending Or people who hate his work ethic and think he sucks (trust me there are genuine hockey people that think he stinks) There are rarely people who stay in the middle. He hasn’t looked good this year, but he could’ve been deployed better in certain situations. If he comes into camp next season with a better mindset and is in shape but still isn’t getting a chance to prove himself then we have a problem, same way if he comes in out of shape again This last point is my deep fear, you trade him this offseason and you’ll instantly regret it because that’s what the Flyers do

@Murph23B @afern_alex He doesn't need the best footwork for a 5 on 3. He's also 4th on the team in assists this season (3rd of players dressed last night). What is a better solution to the PP right now? They have to try something different

@zach7m @afern_alex Last year that was true. It’s not right now. Michkov is a 50/50 guy right now in his O zone play. 50% of his hopeful passes are successful and 50% end up going the other way. Watch his feet. He’s doing most things with stationary feet.

Briere has to force Tocchet to play Michkov on these higher danger chances next year Top 6 1st PP no exceptions This is pathetic how bad this powerplay is and Tocchet still won’t put him on the top unit

@Murph23B @afern_alex Are you watching the power play? He has very good passing and playmaking ability, and our PP is missing that. They can't even pass tape to tape on open lanes, let alone complete seam passes or something creative. At 5 on 5, I mostly agree with you.

@zach7m @afern_alex Why though? Are you watching the games? Are you seeing his compete level? I want to love him like everyone and want him to be great but right now he’s their slowest and least competitive forward. He was supposed to be this competitive demon in addition to his skill set. He’s not.

@nhl_review @jaggerdoll68 Slashing is also a penalty you moron. Makes no difference if it hits his face. You can't wildly fling your stick at an opponent on purpose

@jaggerdoll68 It does look like he hits in the chest, we don’t punish for only intent (whatever it was)

Here is what caused Brind’Amour to lose his mind at officials and get a bench minor, Jarvis on Konecny. He may have a point here..

@PhillyMerk @FlyersNation He can pass. The biggest issue with the PP is they can't make and/or catch passes

@FlyersNation Why are we putting Michkov on this pedestal

No Matvei Michkov on the ice for a 5 on 3 is certainly a choice.
