Kinda like it seems so simple making a free throw from 15 feet away. These guys make golf look like anyone could be good at it. Go Spieth, Find whatever it takes to win this! I'd love to see Spieth win it...but he's not playing with confidence. Too many missed shots and missed opportunities... and too much stressful scrambling. He is going to need to be magical today because both Morikawa and Oosthuizen are playing like machines. Jordan's emotions have been his downfall this weekend. It's happening again today. Obviously there's still time for him to comeback, but I'm not optimistic. Edited July 18, 2021 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind Spieth winning. I'm a Morikawa fan too....and of course love Koepka. He burned about 5 cups today or he shoots 61-62 range. He's going to be sick if he loses this thing by 2 or less.

I love Morikawa's game....so steady. Things getting interesting. Koepka will win an Open, just not this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis is struggling. Edited July 18, 2021 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Oosthuizen losing the lead could help him. I think the last 27 holes or so he's been too conservative. He's had a lot of times he's hit iron off the tee and left himself 215+ instead of going 3 wood and leaving himself 175. He's made a lot of approach shots harder than he's needed to. He needs to get aggressive and start pounding some drives to give himself some easy approach shots. But, if Morikawa keeps playing this way, it won't matter how everybody else plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morikawa getting some good breaks on bounces missing bunkers, but playing great as Spieth tries to keep charging, applying pressure. Louis appears to have run out of gas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spieth has to make this and birdie 18. I think we discussed yesterday. Those 2 easy putts Jordan missed yesterday and day before looming large. Of course Morikawa is making everything which is what major champions do. Phenomenal putting by him today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No three putts for CM. He handles pressure exceptionally well. I'm fine with him taking this major. He's special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lipped in the one on 18 Friday, so he only missed the one. But yeah, the one yesterday really hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Wish me luck. Headed to play Cog Hill (Western Open/BMW Championship) next couple of days. Never played there before. I've never played better tee to green....and ironically I've never putted this bad in my entire life. Probably not a good recipe for success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Tremendous performance in the final round of the BMW Open. Seven hole playoff between Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Cantlay, who won with a 17' putt for birdie. Bryson had a 8' putt to tie, but missed. Very entertaining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to remember a non major, non Tiger event that was as good....I know we've been in playoffs all summer but that one was awesome. The old phrase neither deserved to lose....but Cantlay deserved to win. Don't remember a guy hitting as many as must have putts in a 7-8 hole stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
