re: Morning workout/run

The biggest and probably most obvious thing is getting to sleep early. My alarm goes off at 4:30, and if I'm not in bed ready to sleep before 9:30 the night before it's a real struggle.

Other than that just get up and get the preworkout mixed and get going.

I used to hate getting up early before having kids, but now it's the only part of the day I have time to get a run/workout in. I got used to it pretty quickly, as long as I'm still getting enough sleep.

You think JK plays the same regardless?

Yes absolutely.

I think the best golf prospect since Jordan Spieth plays well whether JT plays with him or not. JT played good on Thursday with him, but Koivun carried JT all day Saturday. Their match halve saturday was despite JT making only 1 birdie in the round.

If you look at JT's 2-0-1 record vs Wyndham's 1-4, it'd be easy to say JT was better. But if you actually watched the golf, you'd know Wyndham was way better than JT.
quote:

I mean he's 12-4-3 in the President's Cup and 9-6-2 in the Ryder Cup. That's a really salty record at the team events


That's fine, but we're talking about how he is going to play in the next event. JT was the #1 player in the world in 2018 winning and contending in majors. He hasn't been that guy in a long time, but keeps getting captain picks based on that reputation. Sure he went 2-1-1 this week, but he was objectively bad in 3 of the 4 sessions he played.

You keep insinuating I don't like him for some reason, I don't care either way. I just think the guys that give us the best chance to win should be on the team. And unless he fixes his driving issues, that isn't JT anymore.

At the very least if you want to bring him for then he shouldn't play foursomes ever and should only play 1 fourball match
JT played the worst of the americans this week pert datagolf strokes gained.

It's not that people don't like him, it's that he continues to get Captain's picks he doesn't deserve and doesn't perform. Koivun carried him in fourball Saturday and he happened to get paired against the guy who played the worst in the field on Sunday. He probably should have gone 1-3 this week if he'd played with/against replacement level partners/competition.

The US would've been better off having Spaun or Gerard this week
Sportsbook operator playing victim is comical
Surprised the went Bridgeman over Gerard

Matt Leavitt goes full Japanese and improvises an off schedule 20 yard conpletion to Jay’s Brown

Again, is this legal? Technically yes.

Mashing grass behind the ball and improving your lie isn't legal and needs to be called more often. Everytime he's in contention this is a topic. It was egregious yesterday when they called it out on the broadcast after he grounded his club behind the ball 9 times before actually addressing the ball with intent to swing.

The trenching thing is something Kisner and most of the podcasters will talk about and everyone seems to point to Wyndham about it.

He's clearly a cheater
I don't understand the appeal in LIV surviving for anyone. Even if Bryson and some group of geriatrics/nobodies continue with some type of youtube tour, the LIV brand is so toxic that they'd be better off rebranding and starting new
It's pretty shocking LIV actually lasted this long considering the business model never came close to working and they were just burning through cash the entire time.

The next in a long line of Matt’s for LSU

The worst part to me is the overlap in Tier 1 and Tier 2 events on 8 weekends. I could get behind the proposal if they staggered it so we have 1 tournament every weekend and something like the fall series was great imo. But 8 myrtle beach classics doesn't sounds great

It's been well reported for over a year that the Tour and the sponsors are at each other's throats over this. Rolopp trying to tell sponsors what can and cannot do with their money. The sponsors telling him to kiss off.

Please link this reporting
So the "challenger series" is basically the Korn Ferry Tour. Not sure if the pga tour noticed from LIV, but just making a tournaments purse bigger doesn't elevate the event.

This sucks

You will still see guys like Spieth and Scheffler play in track 2 Texas events

Lot of rumors floating around that Tier 1 guys won't be eligible to play tier 2 events.
