does anybody actually like all of these Wright Thompson essays?  we get it.  the tourney is in the South.  we don't need homespun homilies multiple times a day.

Max Homa going low today.  that's out of nowhere.

Jhonny V is nice and steady.  1 under after 10 holes today.  3 shot lead.

Pet peeve for about the last decade.  Over wrought interest pieces about some asinine detail with a narrative often only remotely adjacent to the tournament....

Rory’s burnt orange shirt is nice🔥 .

Post a link if you find for sale please. 

Yeah I was wondering if that's the same one Scottie had yesterday. Couldn't find it on the Nike site.

Not quite. Here's what scottie had on yesterday, and that off colored collar was bugging me

hope that stroke doesn't bite him in the ass.

I'm sure he'll drop enough over the next two days that it won't be relevant to who wins.

Even the announcer referenced that Rory was wearing Longhorn colors. The Texas brand is a monster. Now a particular color implies Texas. Love it.

It is trademarked of course

I don't trust any of the guys at -5 or better. Think Scottie and Bryson are both in great position going in to the weekend. 

Rory trying to inch back in - needs to avoid dropping any strokes down the stretch here.

Or he and Scottie could both bird. 

Look out.

That's a dogshit 69 from Rory. 
He should have got to 2 or 3 under today. 

His gamer driver was ruled non-conforming on Tuesday. Perhaps he’s struggling with the feel of the replacement

Hadn't heard about that. The one he won the Masters with?

Think he bogeyed 4 holes on the back 9. Not sure that's a driver issue but I didn't watch the full round. I did watch him miss a 4 foot putt for par.

He’s only hit 10/28 fairways so far.

He has been spraying it all over the park by his driver standards so something is off. 

Can shafts be non conforming (obviously yes, just not something you hear about often)? For these guys, I would bet shaft is far more important than the head. And for Rory, I would think you could stick whatever head at the top of his go to shaft and you'd never know the difference so his driver struggles are that much more of a mystery.

Side note... The commenters talking about Scheffler not playing well... He's within 5 going into the weekend you slap dicks.

I think you mean commentators* and Scottie is 3 back. 

Spieth got cut - btw.

As Brendan Porath pointed out…Rory’s driver was found non-conforming early in the week, and the general betting public found out on late Friday afternoon. Meanwhile sports gambling is plastered all over the coverage, including a giant ESPN Bet pavilion on the grounds. 
 

This shit has to change.

He’s probably playing with his B or B+ game the first 2 days and it’ll likely be enough to win with who’s ahead of him.

Bryson is fucking pissing on the ball off the tee today. Just laser after laser. 

He just needs to get hot with the flat stick.

This is now becoming a REAL fun leaderboard. Although I can't do Fitzpatrick - he's like a can of beans poured over soggy white bread that's been sitting out all night. I'm sure he's a nice guy.

Surprised there isn't more traction in here. 

This is getting electric. Dechambeau looks locked the fuck in. 

Kim can play, too. Anyone with a Players in the bag could win this thing. 

2 Horns within a shot of the lead. And a Pony 😉

Hard to get locked in when Scottie is inevitable 😀

BDC can't make a putt or hit an approach worth a shit so Scottie may be. 

I still like Kim (not to win necessarily - but to hang in there tomorrow).

Sort of feels like some mid career Tiger major wins where he didn’t have his best stuff, hung around the first two days, took control of the tournament on Saturday while everyone tread water, then buried his playing opponent on Sunday. Obv a long way to go, and I’m not saying Scottie is Tiger, but I’ve seen this play out before.

Bryson hasn't been great either. He could be 5 or 6 under right now.

Feels like a great time for golf regardless of how you feel about any of these guys. Flirting with having 3 true superstars.
