Unhinged sports fan yelling into the void / Trust the Process

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Bryson DeChambeau shot a final round 65 to finish 3rd at LIV Golf Korea, just 1 shot out of the playoff. He said after the round that the improvement was due to the work he did with Gemini AI after the 71 on Saturday:

“Yeah, the beginning of the first round I felt great. Golf swing felt in sync and then it started getting out of sync and it felt like my hands were getting ahead of me. It continued that way for the next two rounds, and it was very frustrating.

“I spent some long hours on the range trying to figure some stuff out and I was talking to AI quite a bit last night trying to go through some different physics principles that makes the club turn over, having some alpha torque and gamma torque put in there. I was like, what makes that possibly do that, and was talking about just grip pressure and tension.

“So I came out here today with just a little bit more freer hands, and I felt the club a lot better, and I felt like I could close the club a lot more effectively and then I started striping it.

“From then on out, I was able to kind of control it. Still missed some wedges to the right coming in, which is kind of frustrating, but that's just me holding on a little bit rather than just letting it go.

“I feel like I'm on the right path now, and I had it okay in the first round, but really felt it -- I felt really good this round. I felt better than I did in the first round, which is a good trend.

“Hopefully it continues, and I'm just continuing to learn. That's the thing; this game is so brutal. Missing two cuts at the majors and you feel like you're golden going in there, won a couple events and playing well, and this game can kick you when you're at your highest.

“It goes for all of us, not just me. It's everybody here. Everybody wants to win.

“I think that's the beautiful part about golf is that it can kick you when you're at your highest or it can bring you up when you're at your lowest, and yet we have to respect the game for that.

“So I felt great. Didn't feel great in the middle of the tournament, but then the last round today I felt a lot better.

“I'm proud of the way I persevered to finish third without really anything.”

And then spoke about the Gemini assisted practice session he had at 8pm:

“I was slamming the club in the ground trying to figure out what to do. I was frustrated. Been trying everything in my body. I didn't actually figure it out on the range. I went back and started talking to Gemini and trying to figure out just what it could be to passively make the club turn over. Hands just felt like they were moving forward like this and I couldn't get the club to turn over. Even if I tried to stop it here, it still wouldn't turn over.

“So I left kind of frustrated and learned later that night that I just needed to relax my grip pressure and let the thing just fold over naturally.

“I'm still working it out. I don't have the answer.”

The solo 3rd was a good bounce back from a disappointing missed cut at the PGA Championship. He’ll now head to Valderrama next week for LIV Golf Andalucia before attempting to win his 3rd US Open at the historic Shinnecock Hills in a few weeks.

Threading the needle where we finally win a series against the Celtics but still get to see Morey fired does actually make this postseason a success.

Not sure what’s crazier - the $2 gas price or the (D-ND)

[2001 Live @25YearsAgoLive]

US Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) speak to the press about skyrocketing gas prices across the United States.

They have brought with them a graphic that shows theoretical gas prices above $2 with the caption “coming to a gas pump near you!”, and they warn the press that gas might actually hit $2/gallon if something radical is not done.

The Sixers have an injury report for tomorrow's Game 1 @ New York:

Joel Embiid – right hip contusion – PROBABLE

[NickyBeaster @NickyBeaster]

@RealMamaEagle This is a rough cut of who should have access (although asking Josh Harris to do something right is quite a tall task lol)

[NickyBeaster @NickyBeaster]

If the Sixers have this set up properly this should the map of user access for playoff tickets

This is incredible defense for an All-Pro - this kid is a ROOKIE

Look at Edgecombe reposition to take away Brown’s right hand and then defend with his back…
