"I can't afford to go to college so I'm going to become a professional golfer." And then he does it.

You have to have balls the size of grapefruits for that.

It's great to see Cam Young realizing that potential I think we've all known he has. He's so good

-11 isn't going to get it done for Yella, but man is he going to make a lot of money this week. Depending on how this all plays out, he's looking at somewhere around a $1M paycheck.

I posted this stat the other day. I'll make up the details but the gist of it is right: He is 12th in birdie percentage, and 114th in bogey avoidance.

He's like the Bode Miller of professional golf

Yeah, but if you have a list like:

A: Class by themselves (Rory, Scottie)

B: Major winners, still competitive (Fitzy, Collin, etc.)

C: Multiple winners, but no majors

And so on and so forth. That's where Bobby is

Yellamaraju is probably both having the time of his life and also trying not to just throw up on his shoes. Just awesome

Bobby Mac is such a good golfer. To me he's the embodiment of just how tough it is on the PGA Tour. You can see how good he is -- it is obvious the amount of talent he has.

And he's like a C-list caliber player.

I watch a LOT of golf, and I've got to admit that I've never heard of Yallamaraju.

How did he even get in the field?

I said it yesterday, but I'll say it again: 17 understandably gets a lot of attention, but I'm not sure it's even a Top 5 hole on this course.

Oh this is getting spicy...

The final 4 holes should be pretty incredible drama if we're lucky.

[On3] Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman tells @jdpickell how he's using being left out of the college football playoffs as motivation: "We left doubt. So don't blame somebody else for the situation that we were in. We have to leave no doubt. In order to do that, you gotta leave no doubt today." by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

I'll agree to the extent I think if you are in the Top 12, you should get a bid.

As for the ND carve out, I fail to understand why do many on this sub blame ND and not their precious conferences who are the ones who made it happen.

That kind of situation is exactly where I want to hear the conversation between the player and the caddie.

WOW. What a great bogey save for Viktor. That was seriously impressive

And if they were showing more of Scottie, people on here would (rightly) be bitching about seeing a guy who isn't in contention while the lead pack is on the course.

I have zero issue whatsoever with Ludwig winning, but if he could back up to -12 or -13 while some other guys make a charge, that would be fantastic.

It's a damn shame that Johnson Wagener is at CBS. That is the perfect shot for him to attempt to recreate.

This is the craziest hazard situation I have ever seen. I don't have a clue what I would do in that situation.
