All the Canucks are in the top 4 in Scottsdale. Taylor with a 66 in pretty tough conditions.

Nice seeing the day start with Hadwin and Taylor atop the leaderboard. Probably not a coincidence that they both live in Scottsdale. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Keegan Bradley's aimpoint routine makes me want to poke out my eyeballs! He actually seems like a pretty decent guy after watching him on Bob Does Sports Youtube channel, but watching him go through his whole routine for what feels like 20 minutes needs to be addressed. He's going to make the pga tour have to go to a shot clock for putting.

I saw a promotion on TV last night that Liv Golf is getting tv coverage now in North America and will be shown on CW11 here in Calgary.

Just a routine bogey!

They are just getting started now with the leaders who have finished not too far ahead. If they can shoot in the 60s, (Taylor has already birdied the 1st) they'll be set up for the weekend.

Pretty funny moments from that streaker on tiktok. Ran around the 16th green for awhile with no security going after him, finally someone did and he dodged him and ran under the tunnel.

Then he ran to the 17th water feature, swam to the floating Waste Management letters and started dancing on them with the crowd going crazy.

Slava · 02-11-2023, 07:04 AM

That was pretty funny, and I’m a little torn with it. The WM is an absolute riot…but it might be out of hand? Like as hilarious as the “down goes Frazier” tweets are and the general debauchery, you do wonder how long they can let it escalate. The crowd size now, which is think is around 500,000 is just so hard to comprehend. I just worry that something bad happens eventually.

nfotiu · 02-11-2023, 08:46 AM

The WM is just a temporary elevated event this year. I wonder if they'll make it permanent. The loaded field definitely makes it a bigger event and pretty good tv.

nfotiu · 02-11-2023, 09:03 AM

Hadwin playing really well this morning and is tied for the lead again. He definitely is putting like someone who lives in the area.

jayswin · 02-11-2023, 05:11 PM

Hadwim starting to fall apart. Not in lost strokes yet, but hes just spraying drives and irons the last two holes. I suspect the strokes will follow.

He didn't look comfortable playing with the top dogs in the final group but kept it together and got back to even par, 3 strokes back and playing in the second to last group could bold well for him today.

Shot of the day on 16 to 1.5 feet. That was awesome nerve. Unfortunately 17 didn't go so well but got it back together for 18. Today should be a good watch.

That shot on 16 was fun. Everyone in the final group was struggling to hang on a bit. Hadwin lost his iron swing for most of the day and that's usually a strength. I don't think he's too phased by playing with the stars, he's been around long enough and has a win. Hopefully he can get his irons figured out and should be able to make a run. Taylor in the mix too.

Sylvanfan · 02-12-2023, 02:48 PM

Nick Taylor has played well today. Forced Sheffler to work to defend his title. Doing well to hang with names like Rahm, Thomas, and Speith to round out the top 5.

Strange Brew · 02-12-2023, 03:45 PM

Taylor’s putt horseshoes the hole on 17. Looks like 2nd place amongst some huge names. Pretty damn good.

That's pretty much his card locked up for next season.

Solo 2nd is huge FedEx points.

And thanks to the elevated tour stop status he actually wins more money for this 2nd place than he did for his win.

That's a very nice payday and definitely a boost for his season. Only top 70 get guaranteed status this year, so still some more work to do to guarantee it.

Big week in Tour with Tiger back and one of my favorite holes!

#10 at Riviera is a blast, especially with the pin in the back right portion of the green.
