Spieth is still a top five name to the average sports fan. You have to remember the average sports fan only watches majors, and only Rory and Phil have more majors among active players. I mean right now CBS is doing cartwheels with Phil in the lead, couldn't ask for a better leader despite the fact he's been an also ran for the last couple years. Stars remain stars and golf needs stars for TV purposes worse than any other sport.

Spieth is just a guy who was good early on, then cratered spectacularly and is only now starting to get his game back to competitive. There are, literally, dozens of guys better than him right now. That was never the case with Woods.

What? Spieth has been one of the best golfers over the past few months.

I think Spieth will make the cut though. I project the cut to be +4 maybe +5. I think the afternoon guys are in for some hurt.

Don't get me started.
Live from opened with Keopka last night. No mention of Conners until after the first commercial break and his segment was far shorter.
US golf media is the worst.

Hadwin bogeys the last and is +4. That might cost him. Hopefully the cut line drops from +3 to +4.

Data golf is saying 60% the cut is +5

BBC projecting +3

With the morning groups all pretty much finishing up, the projected cutline has moved to around three over. That is sure to be revised as necessary as we go along.

Cut line will pretty much depend on the wind, if it is down +3 seems likely. If it kicks up then +5 or higher might be in play.

Well I’m doing cartwheels that Mickelson is in the lead and I can’t stand the guy. It’s going to make for a fantastic weekend. Not sure i’d call it a US media thing since the big name golfers are popular in Canada too. I mean is anyone in Canada complaining about needing more Branden Grace coverage?

Maybe DJ will sneak in. Bogey-eagle-bogey-birdie finish to end up at +6.

Need Keegan Bradley off the leader board and off my TV. That's a punchable face. (Sorry hockey, I know he's on your team)

What's it like for the spectators? I love golf but I would not like to stand in the wind for 8 hours.

This eagle from Koepka was insane from where he was.

Lol Tringale was -3 after that birdie on 11. Credit to him for not going with the fake injury withdrawal after that disaster run.

It's still kinda hard to believe Oosthuizen has never won in America. Seems like he's lurking almost every major.
