PGA Championship

Post by Titans309fan »

Both Brandt and Luke are playing, Brandt in the morning (7:06 AM) and List in the afternoon (12:26 PM). Both are starting at #10. Hopefully they can both do well.

Brandt played the back 9 first. He was a respectable even par on 10-18. Hit a rough stretch on holes 3 thru 6, and was 4 over at that point. Birdied 2 of the last 3 he played to end up at +2. That won't win him any kewpie dolls, but at least he had it going in the right direction at the end.

Number 10 is a horrible way to start. I would be ten over par just after that one hole.

List was one over yesterday. It would benefit both of them to shoot under par today to make the cut.

The second round is finishing up this morning, and Brandt birdied twice to get to 1 under. As long as he doesn't double bogey 18, he will make the projected cut at even par.

List finished yesterday with an even par round and stayed at 1 over, so he will likely barely miss the cut.

Sneds parred 18 for a 3 under round and 1 under for the tourney, so he will make the cut. Good job!

Sneds and Austin Cook will be paired today. It should be good for these two SEC golfers (Cook went to Arkansas) to play together, even though Brandt is 10 years older.

Both are 10 shots off the lead, but a good round can really make a difference in the final money.

This is turning into one of the best Majors in quite a long time. Tiger looks like he has a little extra in the tank for the final 9 holes today. If he'd hit some fairways on some drives earlier, he'd be up a couple shots right now.

TIger has really surprised me. He is playing some of the best golf that he has played in ages, though I do think he comes up short.

Tiger came up short but he is fun to watch and great for the game of golf!

Sneds shot a 69 to finish -3 for tournament. Did not improve Fedex standing(80).

Both Snedeker and List made the cut. List is tied for fourth.

So why did the PGA championship happen so early this year? It usually is an August tournament (as shown by this thread).

List did finish in 6th place and Snedeker in a tie for 16th.

PGA moved the tournament to May to generate more excitement and avoid conflict with football.

In my opinion, it's a good move.
