TV coverage is not dictated by the network. How much is televised is up to the PGA Tour, Augusta National, Royal and Ancient and in this case the USGA.
OT: 2019 PGA Tour Thread
- Thread starter WhiteBus
- Start date
Fox coverage has definitely gotten better. Buck remains unlistenable - case in point him calling the deer a "U.S. citizen" - WTF. However, at 7:30 I kept it on FS1 and didn't have to listen to Buck. The downside was they only showed the Koepka and Woods groups. Well worth the tradeoff to me.
Free Online coverage starts at 11 am. Choice of featured groups, featured holes, and practice tee. The early featured groups are Woods, Speith, Rose and Koepka, Molinari and Hoveland :

Not a good look by Jordan Spieth after blaming his caddie for his two errant shots on #8 yesterday.
I once got blamed by a pro for losing a playoff. He told anyone who'd listen.
I understand Tour caddies are used to it and shrug it off. Ever see the video of Bubba Watson dressing down his caddie?
Chaos in the gallery at Pebble Beach:

that was one of the most bizarre/brain dead things i've ever seen.
absolutely bizarre.
no f'ing idea what his thought process was.
yes, he would have had to play it back in his stance, but he definitely had room to take a more traditional stance and play it off his back foot with a lob wedge.
world record contender for over thinking it.

Think Rose takes it. Woodland’s luck is all used up. Would like to see someone from 4 or 5 (Rory) back put some pressure on the final group.
Best swing ever?? Fred Couples has the best swing ever. 2nd isn't even close and that belongs to Ben Hogan.
Also Adam Scott is in that conversation. Rory’s may be compact but not the best.
Will be interesting to see if the final round today becomes a match play event between Woodland and Rose, or if they bring the rest of the field into play to win.
Woodland has a strong game, but not typically at this level. Oostheizen, Koepka and a few others are still in the mix.
Should be a great finish tonite.

i'll agree on Rory and Fred.
the common thread being freakish physical range of motion abilities. (flexibility).
i think Freddie was double jointed on top of otherwise being very flexible, and not even other tour players who are freakishly flexible themselves, have the range of motion in their trunk that Rory does. (and i question if Rory didn't lose a hair of that when he bulked up).
before his bulk up, i freeze framed Rory at the top of his follow through one time. the midpoint of his shoulders was pointed almost 180 degrees opposite of where his belt buckle was pointed. (looked like a circus contortionist).
no matter how rhythmic and coordinated and skilled normal humans are, they never will have the range of motion to swing like Rory and Freddie, which is what allows them to have the long beautiful graceful swings they have/had.
and that long swing is what facilitates their power, as it allows them more time/arc to generate speed on their downswing.
it's one thing to go vertical or past on your back swing by hinging more at the wrist and hands and knees.
it's another, to be able to do it with the big muscles in your trunk and back.

Lots of fireworks today - Koepka on fire, as are a few others, but Woodland also playing well, while Rose is struggling, but not out of it at all - at this point, Woodland up by 2 over Koepka and 3 over Rose. Fun to watch. Probably rooting for Woodland, as he's a ton more likable than Koepka, for me. Love that clip of him with the young girl with Down's Syndrome from a practice round at the Waste Mgmt tourney earlier this year. If you're a dad (and even if not), you'll get a little choked up over this video.

Yeah, parring 6 was like a bogey, then the missed putt at 7, but he got very lucky to make bogey on 8 with that 2nd shot in the knee high grass. The one time I played Pebble, I remember taking two shots to get out of that crap and taking a 7, lol (after being even through 7).
They both just made really great pars on 14 and 13, respectively and Rose with another bogey and is 3 back. Looks like this will go down to the wire.
At the risk of jinxing this guy I think he just won it with the chip/putt on 17.
Hey @superfan01 how you like me now?? :sunglasses:
Congrats Gary Woodland you played great all week. Welcome to the club.

That chip was money, under the circumstances - incredible shot. Nice to see Woodland win.
You know what I really love about this generation of golfers is that so many stick around to congratulate the winner. It's awesome that they have so much respect for each other.
