@fried_egg_golf @KVanValkenburg gosh you have a way with words. You remind me that we all have common ground with people we may not agree with on all things.

Back in on a Rahm win

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Jon Rahm shot a 3 under par 67 to take a share of the lead at the PGA Championship. After the round, he praised the PGA of America for the set up of Aronimink this week:

“I would like to know who came up with that, by the way. Honestly, when I heard people talking about 20-under par, it made me question my ability to read a golf course, because I was looking at the greens and where they could put pin locations and possible wind, I just -- my mind was never -- I actually got worried. I'm like if somebody shoots 20-under, the amount of records they're going to break this week would be unheard of.

“You know why I think that can happen is also the fairways up here by the numbers are probably wide. They don't play as wide as they really are. Holes like 7, 10, 15, with how much slope you have to the fairway, you have to hit a very accurate golf shot to be in it. Like that, you can add too 2, 4 -- maybe not on 6, but like I said, 10, 12, 15, 16, right?

“You need to hit -- with the slope of the fairway and the wind going with the slope of the fairway, it plays a lot more difficult than I think a lot of people would have foreseen at first with how much they're rolling out.
And credit to the PGA for the setup. They found some incredible hard pin locations out there. Usually when we're practicing, we put our disks out, and there's definitely quite a few that I would have told Adam, man, there's no way they're going to put a pin there, and they did. So we found a way to keep it all close together.

“As hard as it is to play, the challenge can also be kind of fun if you do well. That's probably the reason why the leaderboard is so bunched up and it's going to be such a good Sunday tomorrow. So in that sense, showmanship-wise, they've done a great job.”

Jon was also asked if a win for him this week would be a boost for LIV Golf as they look for investment outside of the PIF:

“Honestly, in a week like this, one, I'm thinking more about myself. I'm not going to take on anything outside what I can control when it comes to competing tomorrow.

“If I do get it done and I sit here again tomorrow, then you can ask me the same question, and I'll give you an answer. But what it would mean for Spain as well in the grand slam tally and being the last leg of the grand slam for us as well, there's a lot of things that would mean a lot, but too much of it is out of my control.

“So hopefully I can keep doing what I've done so far this week, especially today, and I get the chance to answer that tomorrow.”

If Jon were to win tomorrow it would put him 3 legs towards the Career Grand Slam, complete the Grand Slam for Spain, and end the drought of major winners for LIV Golf that extends back to Bryson DeChambeau’s US Open win in 2024.

It’s a massive final round ahead for the Spaniard.

Any setup that gets this bum away from a major win is a successful one.

[Kyle Porter @KylePorterNS]

"We want to play a similar setup every day."

Well it is almost like the test takers should not also be the test administrators.

[Pro Golf Critic @ProGolfCritic]

74 = sh*t setup.
66 = never mind it’s great. Lmao.

I love that Rory speaks his mind, simultaneously he speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

🚨🗣️⛳️ #NEW — Rory McIlroy spoke on the course setup, walking back prior comments a bit: “If I'm reflecting on the last three days I think there's been a really good balance of tough pins and then pins that you can get at a little bit more”

[Mike McG @EffTruck]

It’s pretty incredible how many golf media people spend every major week (except Augusta) bitching nonstop about everything. These people can’t just stfu and enjoy the ride

There has never been another player like Pete Rose in my lifetime. This is the way I will remember him, playing the game harder than anyone else ever did.

Few athletes will leave behind more complicated legacies. Today isn’t the day for that.

Today, let’s just say thanks to Charlie Hustle, for playing the way we always dreamt we would if given the chance. #RIP

[Waterman (9x national champs) @watermanbbb]

RIP Charlie hustle. The all time hits leader. Gambling legend. For degenerates, he meant something to us. The pride of all bad gamblers. Gone too soon

[Labaron Philon Enthusiast 🦍 @n1cksabanson]

@AramLeighton8 @FoolishBB Well they just did, Aram and it was pretty damn obvious. But it could’ve been a lot worse.

[Labaron Philon Enthusiast 🦍 @n1cksabanson]

Rip Pete Rose. Greatest Red of them all.

[Labaron Philon Enthusiast 🦍 @n1cksabanson]

@AramLeighton8 @FoolishBB Hope you’re engagement farming.
