Nice. Even when he's hitting into a hazard, it's not hurting him. I love the crowds following Lefty.

Motor always runs hottest before it blows up!  

I hope he can keep the pedal down. 

[dcar00 13861]

he's locked in.  Its all going to come down to tee shots for him the rest of the way.

[dcar00 13861]

its about to get nuts. keep hitting the 2 wood.

The Sun Devil is bringing it.

would this be a greater win than Jack’s last Masters?  I say yes.

[Lerka Lerka 1082]

Phil is dialed in. Incredible golf. 

[Sbbruin 21568]

If he goes Champions tour, he would fucking wreck shop

No question. I think the only thing in recent history that could compare is tigers last masters.

Already has two wins 

[Dewey 3266]

Jack's last Masters win was his 6th jacket, 18th major and fired a -6 30 on the back nine, Sunday. 

Tigers last Masters win was special, very special,  if Phil wins this, its right up there. Not sure how I would rank it all, bit Jack's would be number one.

from a standpoint of being over 50.  it would crazy.  the only thing I would say is that

Jack's was

a) at the masters(its just a more historic major than PGA)

b) incredible back 9 comeback and he was the best golfer of all time.

I think Jack's and even TIger's will always be more iconic(due to their 1a/1b status) but this would be more improbable.  both Jack and Tiger were 33 in the world rankings.  Phil is 100+.

Jack and tigers are more iconic because of who they are and where it happened,  no question. 

But 3 weeks shy of his 51st birthday on this course with this field?  Harder than what either Jack or tiger did if he can somehow pull it off.

yes more improbable.  greatest is another question.

[dcar00 13861]

koepka is gonna be a problem.  phil needs at least 4 shots on him for tomorrow I think.

[pops 6946]

[dcar00 13861]

wow that sucks.

a little.  all about fairways.  can not miss them.

[4th&Five 41055]

[dcar00 13861]

no bueno.  3 strokes changed everything (missed putt on par 5, 2 drives)

Phil did the right thing by re teeing so kudos to him.

[dcar00 13861]

OK what louis did was pretty uh interesting.  pick the crossing point so you drop near a drain, so you can mark and drop in the fairway.

[4th&Five 41055]

 

Phil saying “it definitely crossed” bailed Louie out.

Tough to tell from the camera angles but I'm not so sure he shouldn't have re-teed as well. And yes.... very interesting drop spot but it was the only spot he could have potentially crossed if it in fact did. That's where the line was closest to the water.

louis' was much closer to the red line

yeah he could have picked 3 feet back and no one would have said any different.  the line was almost straight there.  he picked exactly where he knew he would get another relief drop.  whatever, its not like almost every other player would try the same thing.

[mdmost 42167]

Phil just gave Brooks and Louis a big in. 

[dcar00 13861]

thanks No Laying Up guys!  right after that tweet he misses birdie and then goes bogey, double.

yep.  Phil gave Louis one there.  Louie tried to return the favor by saying "its only 190 to carry".  Louis ball did start out farther left of Phil's.

 

[pops 6946]

Louis going strong with the 200 SPF

[pops 6946]

Solid rebound. Needs to make that shit

the interesting thing is that was total judgement calls(honor system) by the players and I think they pretty much came out well.  Louis' drop was the only thing I had slight problem with.  Reed would have been hitting a 140yd pitch shot from the right cut after Phil's drive.

[Buzzrock 14775]

Ouch

[dcar00 13861]

come on Phil finish strong.

[Dewey 3266]

For me, feels like a 3 man race, I guess Streelman, but I can't even fathom that. 

[dcar00 13861]

2.5 rounds everything was so good.  lost the tee ball and here we are.  get it to the clubhouse tied for the lead and lets see what happens tomorrow.

Can't tell if he's getting double crossed or what, but ever since that 2 wood he tugged the cut has been fine off the tee but the draw is gonzo. 

[Bogeywon 2518]

I put $50 on Phil before he tee’d off at 12-1. I was dancing in my living room when he went to -10 and up 5. What a fucking meltdown

tiger doesn't change his spots:-).  

[maninblack 7974]

he's incredibly lucky that hit the cup

[dcar00 13861]

his irons have been solid.  he's just gotta be in the fairway.

[maninblack 7974]

putting clinic on 17. geez those were awful attempts

you were right.  he should have been hitting that cut from 10 on in.

[Dewey 3266]

Phil is in a good place despite giving up a big lead. Neither Brooks or Oosty know how to putt on these greens
