Running 2021 Golf Thread

Every double-digit weekend hacker watched Lashley's four-putt triple at 16 from 13 feet and wondered if he just wrote down "5" like they do.

 

I admit to tossing my putter like he did

 

Agreed, but he's taken a big step forward over the past two weeks. Playing at this level has to help his confidence, which is what this is all about with him. If he keeps playing that way (a huge if, of course), he'll give himself plenty of chances to close one out.

 

Of course he does. But where he is now versus where he has been for the last couple of years is the major reason why the talking heads are (over?)hyping this.

They see Jordan Spieth as the sort who can go on another run like he did in 2015. The falloff from that point is part of why the media is trying so hard to get on the bandwagon. Other than the fact that he's sloooooooooow, it's understandable IMO. He's 27, he has won three majors and has shown that it's not all about the bombers.

 

I was only half listening but on CBS I think they said this was Spieth’s first back to back top fives since 2018
(I’m retired. I’ll let the golf nuts look it up)

 

While the eagle putt was definitely icing on the cake, Berger's second shot on 18 was massive. Carrying the bunker from 250 yards in that kind of situation takes balls of steel.

 

Especially considering he doubled the hole on Saturday.

 

I'm not trying to be difficult, but I fail to see why he is more rootable than 150 other guys on the tour.
He's slow, usually looks like he's in a mood, and seems to blame his caddy a lot.
