Who you got ?

I hope Johnson can finally finish something. You can never count out Spieth though.

It would be cool to see those two paired up on Sunday for a battle.

DJ has the best chance with his distance and iron shots. Won't be long before He starts closing the deal the guy is just amazing talented.

Speith would be my favorite just because it's a good story.

Tiger had a shit day , So did Tom Watson with 3 double bogeys.

Tiger was given the golden opportunity with the morning start today in relatively calm weather and instead he just shits the bed. They are expecting up to 40 mph gusts for Friday afternoon groups, so I see a big MC in his future.

I'd like to see DJ redeem himself from the US Open debacle. I'm really rooting for Rickie to backup his Scottish Open win ala Mickelson a couple years ago.

He's got a better chance than el'tigre of winning any major.

I'd like to see Zack or Shrek pull this off.

Tiger is a weird deal... at the practice range he's unbelievable perfect and accurate. it's the fairway between his ears that's giving him fits on tourney day. sad to see such a decline, he was the absolute best for more than a decade.

i think Speith is going to just keep on winning everything this year, i don't see him getting out-played anywhere or anytime.

So many top players within striking distance. With these rolling fairways and greens, a little luck goes further here than most US courses.

I've played competitive baseball, football, raced motocross my whole life and played golf. I think golf is the most mentally demanding of them all. People that have never played don't understand. Having to focus on every shot for 18 straight holes in a competition is incredibly difficult. And as we see with Tiger, once you lose your ability to focus it's almost impossible to regain. The mind is a powerful thing.

Well Tiger made it to the weekend, sort of Grinning

The Tom Watson send off hit a lot of golfers right in the feels. If only he could have won at Turnberry a couple years ago.

That was pretty cool. Especially to get to share that moment with his son as his caddy

Moving day! Hope the amateur Paul Dunne keeps it together tomorrow. I'd like to watch the final live but I gotta work tomorrow. Grand Slam possibility...hmm

There is some quality swing on this leaderboard. DJ crapped himself out of it. I don't think anybody in the -7 bunch can get it done. Look at who they have to jump over. Some seriously badass golfers ahead of them. My dark horse is Sergio but Jason looks ready to pull down a major.

DJ has the fire power to get it back going, Not likely but if he gets hot it could happen.

I kind of like Sergio's chances.

Spieth came so close to making into the playoffs. What a bummer. Hell of a tournament going on here, though. I'm really not getting much work done today haha

Bummed for Spieth on coming so close, but at least we have a 3-way playoff to end it. Pulling for Louis because he's my choice in my golf fantasy league.

only if he starts to thank the Man up above but retracts like he got slapped in the mouth and then corrects himself to say the Lord Jesus Christ...
