Figured I would go ahead and start a thread. Look who's in the same threesome on Thurs and Fri. Teeing off Thursday at 10:29 am Patton Kizzire, Jovan Rebula and Jason Dufner. All Auburn baby that's never happen before in a major

I cannot wait for this tomorrow. This or Augusta is the most breath taking and beautiful course in the world.

Absolutely....................pictures do not do it justice. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my lifetime

Yes I’m looking forward to seeing this. I might actually play Saturday or Sunday. Played about two weeks ago and hit it pretty well.

Just a quick observation but looks like USGA resisted the urge to screw up this beautiful golf course in order to prove......something?     I see that small children could get lost in the rough......but at least they did not import some boulders to line the fairways.....or construct some tank traps in the fairways. 

Cool day on the California coast.

Jovan and Jason shot 1 under with Patton shooting a horrible 80 which surprised me. Would be great to see Jovan make the cut

Gary Woodland shoots a 65 today, minus 9 through two rounds. Great birdie on hole 9 to end his round. Approach shot of 217 yds, out of a divot, 50 feet right of the hole. Drained the birdie putt.

Has a two stroke lead over Justin Rose.

There are some embarrassing and terrible fans at Pebble today.

42'9" par save for Woodland on 14. WOW

[GwillMac6 20,671]

GOT DANG BRO!!!!! Gary Woodland is making some absolute MIRACLE putts right now. MERCY.

[Auburn Kev 1,653]

Rose has been putting lights out all three rounds. Tomorrow is gonna be epic.

Koepka putting the pressure on Woodland, but Woodland is answering the challenge, thus far.

Rose and Oosthuizen right there also.

What a finish it is going to be.

I think it ends like last years PGA where the superstar (Tiger Woods) was breathing down the young up and comer neck in Kopeka on the back 9 and the crowd was going crazy losing its mind. But Brooks got some seperation and put enough distance between him and Tiger to win.

Tiger with a great finish to make his fans happy but started much to far back to be a challenge.  Some great play all weekend...lost track of the number of chip in birdies and pars from that thick grass on the fringes. plus some hole-outs from traps......those guys are just outstanding at recovery golf.   Will be interesting to see how they deal with the pressure as they get onto the back nine.  Rose just hanging in playing steady golf.

Woodland playing great and Koepka having a few problems at the moment. and Adam Scott challenging the course record......gotta figure out how to watch the golf and CWS as the same time....

Scott just took himself out with OB on 13

hit that shot just as I made my comments......looks like the first victim of the pressure...

I’m still picking Brooks. I won’t pull for Woodland until he bends that bill.

Brooks is def who I am hoping wins! He is my favorite golfer but got dang man!!! Woodland so far is unflappable! I really hope that changes. 

[Auburn Kev 1,653]

After my man Louis Oosthuizen knocks himself out with a double bogey on ten, there are now only three

 

[Auburn Kev 1,653]

Rose's putter lost a little of its magic. Missing way too many greens. Was bound to even out some

[Auburn Kev 1,653]

Gary Woodland wins. Beautiful putt on 18. What a performance over the weekend.

I really didn’t know anything about him till now. He was a scholarship basketball player. Didn’t really focus on golf till second year of college.
