Re: PGA Championship Thread
He took a ten on a par three. OB long, OB long again, in the water on the next shot, then chipped his 7th shot well past the hole but I thought it held the green. Apparently three putted from there.
But in the middle of all this he was wigging out about one of his OB shots not actually being OB or something. And then afterwards he was consulting with a rules official. Like dude, you holed the ball already I think it's too late to do anything now. |

Re: PGA Championship Thread
Cabrera hits his first shot over a par 3, lands OB. He heads back to the tee, hits his next shot the same frigging way, OB. Hits from the tee again, into the water. Drops, chips wayyyy past the hole. Putts back past the hole. Putts down past the hole again. Putts it in for a 10.
After he hit into the water and chipped onto the green, he then appears to try to convince those in power that his second tee shot was actually playable, as it wasn't past the fence (but was past the out of bounds post). |

Re: PGA Championship Thread
I believe the rule says you can play your provisional until you are to the area you believe your original ball was. Most players seem to think as soon as you hit another shot with the provisional you must play it which I do not believe is correct.

Re: PGA Championship Thread
Wow, double digits on a par 3, nice Cabrera. That drive on 18 by Daly was sick. Hopefully it will be Daly and Tiger in the final group Sunday.
Perry Maxwell is without a doubt the best course designer ever. I've played Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, KS a few times and it is awesome. This course is [censored] sweet! Five par 4s under 400, the shaping of the holes, and the mowing of the fairways is top-notch. Diet Coke and Marlboros to beat the heat, not water, LDO!!! |

Re: PGA Championship Thread
When they use the ground cameras (on the webcast) it's amazing how much elevation change there is on this course. From the blimp or tower cams it comes off as much flatter than it must be. Which is good, since most boring-ass courses like Firestone tend to have about six inches of elevation change from the course's high point to its low point.
