Gotterup Update......
Yesterday he was 3 over when he scored a bogey on 18, finishing -2 and around T60.
Today he'd doubled his 1st Hole dropping to Even Par and well below the projected cut line of -4. He then proceeded to Birdie 10 of his next 15 holes. Unfortunately he finished Bogey - Bogey, ending up with a 6 Under 65. His two day -8 currently has him T19 with most still on the course.
The man is a human roller coaster lol.

Enjoyed this weekend's 1st playoff tournament. I understand playing in Memphis...in August because that is where FedEx corporate home is. But damn it was, not surprising, sweltering hot down there. Secondly that is not that an exciting golf course.
This week it at Olympia Fields an historic course in Illinois. Going back to Walter Hagen winning the 1925 PGA Championship to Jim Furyk winning the 2003 US Open and Bryson DeChambeau winning the 2015 US Amateur 7&6👀 over Derek Bard.

Played Seaview pines last Saturday. Played terrible. Maybe I shouldn’t have played Blackjack and drinking tequila until 4am. I did win 1k.
stayed At Ocean’s casino (old Revel). you don’t get the energy from the crowd like at Borgata or Hardrock. But I liked it.

Yes because it was a 6 inches away. Anything longer would be 50/50.
Gambling spectators yell at Max Homa, Chris Kirk during play at BMW Championship
"I got to the back of my back stroke, and he yelled, ‘pull it’ pretty loud," Homa said.
what is wrong with people today. They should go to LIV.
I have to agree with Scheffler's comments here. It's stupid that professional golfers start a tournament with basically a handicap. They should all be equal at even par to start. Always hated the idea.
Also, since Monahan screwed the players with the LIV merger, I like the fact they are very open with their complaints on how the Tour is run.

TV/money talks. That’s the format people want to see. No one wants to see 2 winners.I have to agree with Scheffler's comments here. It's stupid that professional golfers start a tournament with basically a handicap. They should all be equal at even par to start. Always hated the idea.

I don't think fans want to see that garbage. Most think it's a joke. Same as the dumb stableford tournaments.
You take the top 30 players in the world and basically eliminate 20+ of them.
If fans don’t want to see it, it wouldn’t change. The old format (2 winners) was not well received and that’s why they changed it. I get the players don’t like it but money talks.
It's awful. Next they're going to sell mulligans.
Make it a normal tournament and just one winner just like every other tournament they play all year! It's like changing the rules for the football playoffs where the team with the better record starts the game up 7-0. Nobody likes it.
Let 50 advance to the final. Cut the field in half on the first day and 3 days of normal.
The elimination part to advance is fine, nothing wrong with it. Last week's tournament was the best non major played all year.
But the elimination process had a handicap system built in. It was the top 30 that made it.
Yes but they all started the round at even par so there was no handicap to win the tournament, right? There is a massive handicap against most of the field to win this week.
Yes, but then it’s just another tournament. I think they did run the point system against the strokes to make sure it’s even. But the best player that week doesn’t mean they’ll win.
He started on fire! 3 straight birdies to start his round. 6 birdies on the front nine.
I get it but then doing that diminishes the point of the Fed Ex points system. I don't quite like the whole staggered score thing for the Tour Champ either but I do kind of understand why given the whole makeup of the Fed Ex cup. And as jtung said, the PGA doesn't want essentially two winners on Sunday - the guy who won the event and then the guy who won the total points for the entire year.
Frankly, I don't care what they do one way or the other. I just like to watch golf.
Anyone have any explanation why Holland is back at 8 under?...I thought when I went to bed he as tied for the lead...
On the pga website it didn't have his added strokes from the staggered start....its since been updated

Membership has its privilege. JT is in the club, Lucas isn’t.
Yep JT is part of the club. Yea he is not having the greatest of years. But his Ryder Cup record is a solid 6-2-1. And when he is paired with Spieth the 2 have been ridiculously successful. Not upset with the pick.
Stupid club. The point is winning. JT didn't even
make the FedEx playoffs. That alone are should have eliminated him. Who cares about his past Ryder Cup record? That was when he was at the top of his game.
Im going to think the Zach the captain his advisors and other team members think JT and his past experience give the team the best chance to win.
Actually you were more correct the first time. It's a club. Can't say it based off results. The hottest golfer in the past months was Glover.
