I always look forward to the annual meltdown in rounds 3 and 4 in majors. Who doesn't?

Do you seriously believe he won't win another major?

I think it is entirely possible that he doesn't win another something that seemed crazy to think 5 years ago and would say that it is unlikely that he beats Jack's record.
I think that he plays Augusta well enough that he could win there again and there will be some US Open courses that he plays well at as well but he is done being a guy that could win any major despite the course/his play/competition etc. He now needs to play at his peak to win where it seemed before his peak had him winning by 5+ and him at 80% was still good enough.
He is now in a pack of say 10-15 guys that can win at the start of a major and no longer the guy that should be the favorite going into every major.

Who you got for the PGA Championship? Gimme the guy with the hot hand over the last month who has finished T3 (Scottish Open), 2nd (British Open), and T2nd (WGC-Bridgestone) in his last three starts. That would be Henrik Stenson, read somewhere that he said he's "in a good place heading in the right direction with his form."
Keeping the ball in the fairway off of the tee is a massive advantage this week as is keeping the ball on the green and he excels at both of those. He also led the field in scrambling through 63 holes last week at Firestone so that's gotta give him a confidence boost as well.

Ridiculously early but David Hearn is your leader at -4.

Tiger has a minor meltdown on his final hole with a double bogey, finishes at +1.
Edit: How about 51-year old, 5'5 135lb Kohki Idoki at -4 through 5 holes?

Mickelson is a complete mess today. Unreal.
Adam Scott on fire....Rory playing well finally.

What a difference an hour rain delay has made for Mickelson...fighting back to par now after being 3 over after 4 holes.

I've seen Mickelson make a lot of stupid decisions, but that shot through the trees on 18 has to be among the worst.

I'm watching this on pga.com and they only show the marquee group, Mickelson, Rose and Scott.
I could've sworn one of the comentators just said "like clubbing seals" when one of them putted, weird.
I could be wrong because I;m watching this at work and not 100% focussed on it.

David Hearn has about as disasterous a front-9 as is conceivably possible. Seemingly everyone is scoring low and he fires a +4 on the front.

Furyk, Duffner, Stenson, Blixt are at 9-8-7-6 under for todays final round. Course was tough for the first 5 holes yesterday, but after that the top guys managed to play under par. Only Furyk in this group has won a major before, so I think it's his tourney to lose. If he can score under par today I think he wins.

Jason Day and Scott Pierce both having impressive rounds. But started too far back. Score are there to be had though.

Not a Dufner fan but was hoping he would win so he could get redemption for what happened two years ago at Atlanta.

He started out a bit erratic, but somehow was 2 under after 6. I think that par save there was what let him win. Good bounce back round by him today.

Same here. I don't need to hear, "get inda hooooole!" every time club contacts ball. It's annoying, childish, and, at times, disrespectful.

What? They should only politely clap? What's the difference between a cheer and a shout?
Should find go back to quiet claps now?
No loud shirts either. Oh, and ban ugly people because I don't want to look at them either

Yeah fans have become such jerkoffs about trying to be the first person the say something stupid (even stupider than "Get in the hole") the nanosecond after the club hits the ball that often now they are shouting things before the players hit the ball. Augusta National has it right, anyone who does that gets thrown off the course.
